Wow! This is an undercover luxury suv. Lots of fine touch material and plenty of interior space with premium tech. The ride is smooth; kind of reminds me of an X5 when turning and the road noise is not there. The acceleration is more than adequate for this vehicle size and the gas mileage above average. The vehicle turns heads when I drive for its modern aerodynamic styling. I am very impressed with this vehicle and for the price it is phenomenal.

I’m no stranger to Volkswagon having had several over the years, the last being a 2021 SE. I loved that car, particularly for its classic German design and great handling. When the time came I reluctantly traded it in for the totally new 2025 Tiguan SE R line black and so far I’m not disappointed. However here’s my observations pro and con of this new vehicle. First the new model is a completely new vehicle and represents a total redesign of the Tiguan. The new design is on a totally new platform with a more powerful engine (up to 201 from 184). Gone is the no nonsense straight forward design which characterizes most German cars. This car is so distinctive that if it didn’t have the big VW logo on it, you might think it was a Toyota, Kia, or Mazda. Still at it’s heart is still a good German road machine that is fun to drive. The fit and finish superb, the rear seat leg room is massive (as was the previous version) but the rear cargo area is slightly smaller than previous model. However it is still plenty large for most luggage needs, and with the rear seats down provides room for almost anything. The front seats are very comfortable with big bolsters to hug you securely. They are leatherette in an attractive light gray and black with perforated surfaces while the driver’s side is power adjustable however, the passenger seat is manual. At this trim level you would expect both seats to be powered. There is a brand new infotainment system featuring a massive 12.5 in. screen in the dashboard. However it blends perfectly with the wide interior and the software provides beautifully clear color graphics. So far I have almost mastered the technology which is complex but also intuitive. However there are no longer any “hard” buttons for climate control as all functions are controlled by the infotainment screen. The dash cluster is similar to previous years models with digital display that can be customized. One feature I really love is the head up display which projects current speed and cruise control data on the windshield. As with the previously model fuel economy is much, much better than EPA estimates. Granted most of my driving is in a rural area so mostly highway, however I am averaging 33 to 35 MPG locally and on a six hour road trip got 38 MPG. Now for the items that I am unsure about or dislike. First is the infotainment system: in previous years VW systems were glitchy and problematic. Plus this new system controls virtually everything. So far it is working flawlessly, but who knows? Then there is the fact that there is no oil dipstick! Borrowing from Porsche ( I had one years ago) the oil level is checked via software in the infotainment system. I really dislike that as l like to look at the oil not just check the level. The vehicle has 20 inch Perrilli tires on beautiful black powder coated rims. However they are low aspect tires (255 x 40 R 20) and are not as “soft a ride as a 18 or 19 inch wheel. Still they provide good traction on wet surfaces and look great. In the final analysis I am well pleased with this new model. It’s still very fun to drive, handling is crisp and acceleration is good. It has loads of features at the R line trim level and is a real head turner on the road.

The US 2025 Tiguan is all new. It really steps up VWs game in this hit segment. Luxurious. Quiet. Peppier. Great handling. Really competitive. Drives German and that is a compliment. Highly recommend.
