2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Release Date: Review

The Tiguan SUV is all new for the 2025 model year, which makes the upcoming 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan release date highly anticipated. If you're like the many other drivers and families waiting to upgrade to this fully redesigned VW SUV, you'll want to know about its new features, specs, and upcoming availability. Gunther Volkswagen of Coconut Creek has you covered with our preview guide to the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan.

More About the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan Redesign

2025 saw a redesign for the Tiguan, bringing it into its third generation since its addition to the Volkswagen lineup. With the upcoming Volkswagen Tiguan release date, we're excited to see the new design changes reflected in the 2026 models – and for the upcoming SEL R-Line Turbo. To be clear, there won't be a full redesign for 2026.

This doesn't mean there isn't plenty to be excited about. The 2025 model introduced all-new sheet metal, the new MQB evo platform, and an updated and upgraded turbocharged engine that improved on fuel efficiency over the previous generation. The highly anticipated Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo will add even more verve under the hood with 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

The striking exterior of this latest Volkswagen Tiguan is sleek: It has a slimmer headlight design and an available LED light bar with an illuminated VW logo. It boasts a more athletic appearance thanks to a higher nose, front-bumper air curtains, a curved undercut above the front fenders, and a roofline-extending rear spoiler. The Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo will mirror the front design with a rear LED light bar and illuminated logo mirror. A black roof is also standard on the upcoming top trim to accent color options like Avocado Green Pearl, Monterey Blue Pearl, and Sandstone Uni, which were introduced in 2025.

Volkswagen Tiguan: 2026 Interior Updates and Enhancements

As part of the third-generation refresh, all new VW Tiguan SUVs come exclusively with two rows. After the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan release date, this trend will continue as the latest models begin to arrive in our new Tiguan inventory.

The Volkswagen Tiguan 2026 interior is a two-row cabin that ensures each seating position receives its maximum legroom. Meanwhile, your trunk has plenty of space to handle grocery shopping, trips to the airport, and much more – without needing to lower the back seats. If you want even more seating room, you can check out the three-row Atlas in our new VW inventory.

Cabin technology highlights include a now-standard 12.9-inch touchscreen display and the latest generation of the 10.25-inch VW Digital Cockpit Pro system. A new Atmospheres system is available, featuring synchronized ambient lighting and audio settings, as is a 15-inch center display.

2025 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan: Key Differences

The 2025 Tiguan is the first model in the third generation of this compact SUV and brought several major changes with its arrival. The result is a modernized, more powerful, more spacious set of wheels that's ready to conquer your driving tasks and look good while doing it.

In many ways, the 2026 version will follow in the footsteps of the 2025 iteration. However, the SEL R-Line Turbo trim will be exclusive to the 2026 lineup and further enhance the engine's strength. The 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo also boasts dynamic style, thanks to features such as its black roof.

Both of these SUVs are excellent options. The 2025 version is available on our lot right now, so stop in for a test drive. When you visit, we can also discuss the upcoming 2026 iteration and help you decide which one is best suited to your lifestyle.
