Volkswagen Tiguan Prices and Specifications

These entry models come with 17-inch alloy wheels, plus heat-insulating glass, LED self-levelling headlights and a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearknob. Tyre-pressure monitoring is standard, as are automatic lights and wipers, and there’s air-conditioning to keep you cool. Safety is taken care of by the automatic emergency braking and the lane-keep assist systems, and the 8-inch touchscreen allows you to mirror your Android or Apple smartphone.

Technical upgrades for Life trim include the Discover sat-nav system, and the adaptive cruise control keeps you a set distance from the car in front. The Dynamic Road Sign Display shows the speed limit of the road you’re on, and there are parking sensors both front and rear. In-cabin comfort is taken care of by the three-zone climate control system. The headlights also feature automatic full beam.

The alloy wheels are now 19 inches in diameter. LED Matrix headlights with Dynamic Light Assist take care of the view ahead, and ‘scrolling’ indicators let everyone know which way you want to go. There’s also keyless entry and start, adaptive and predictive cruise control, plus heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display.

This is the top-spec Tiguan and as such it comes with 20-inch alloy wheels, sporty bumpers and lowered suspension that make it look quite different to the rest of the range. Inside, you get aluminium trim inserts, seat-heating in the front and sporty pedals. That’s on top of the SEL’s 12.3-inch Active Info display instead of dials, eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav, auto lights and wipers, cruise control, climate control and large panoramic sunroof.
