The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan marks the third generation of this bestseller. On offer is a fresh new look, upgraded interior features, extra cargo space, and a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that packs a little more bark under the hood. Below, we’ll explore how this vehicle spreads its goodies across the trim levels.
Exploring the Trim Levels of the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan
S
The S might be the starter trim, but it’s already swinging. It gets a 201-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (up 17 ponies from the last-gen), and thanks to more aluminum and high-strength steel, it’s lighter on its feet. According to the EPA, this model achieves up to 26 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway.
Inside, it’s all very civil: heated front seats, dual-zone climate with backseat vents, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, a 10-25-inch digital gauge cluster, and four USB-C ports to keep peace in the cabin. The second-row seats split 60/40, so you can fold down one or both sides to make room for extra cargo without giving up all your passenger space.
SE
Next up is the SE model, which sets you up with snazzy 19-inch two-tone wheels, leatherette seats, an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, and a power liftgate for when your hands are full of groceries. It even starts remotely (so you’re not hopping into a mobile freezer or oven) and lets you pick a cabin mood.
SE R-Line Black
If sporty is your vibe, the SE R-Line Black is the Tiguan that’ll speak your language. On the outside, it features blacked-out badging, black roof rails, 20-inch black painted alloys, unique R-Line front and rear bumpers, and illuminated door handles that look sharp at night.
Slide inside and this model keeps the theme going with brushed aluminum accents, an R-Line leather-wrapped steering wheel that feels oh-so-good in your hands, and a head-up display that keeps your eyes on the road and your driving info right where you need it.
SE R-Line
Upgrading to the SE R-Line gets you standard all-wheel drive, illuminated front and rear VW badges, a heated windshield that blocks 100% of UV rays, a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon 12-speaker premium audio system, and a 15-inch touchscreen that controls everything from navigation to three-zone climate control.
Other highlights include perforated Varenna leather seats with built-in heat, ventilation, and a ten-point massage function. The rear seats are heated, too. A high-resolution Area View system gives you a full 360-degree perspective for tight maneuvers, while the Dynamic Roadside Display keeps tabs on changing speed limits so you don’t have to.
Now that you know what each trim brings to the table, it’s time for the best part: taking one for a spin. Just reach out to Tom Bush Volkswagen in Jacksonville, FL, and schedule your test drive today.
