The Volkswagen Tiguan compact SUV has German style and athletic performance. Sized and priced between the smaller Taos and the larger Atlas, the Tiguan offers a nice balance of dynamics and efficiency. So, how much can car shoppers expect to pay for a new Volkswagen Tiguan both at its base level and top-trim with all the bells and whistles? Here’s how much a fully loaded 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan costs. 

2024 Volkswagen Tiguan S: features, specs, pricing

The base trim VW Tiguan S ($28,505 plus destination) is a versatile sport utility vehicle at a reasonable price. For that low cost of entry, buyers get a fun SUV with more than enough standard equipment. Here are the details.

In contrast to some other SUVs, the VW Tiguan has fresh, upbeat styling. The styled chrome grille seems to smile at you, and the LED headlights and DRLs add a touch of sophistication. 17-inch alloy wheels have an upscale look, and black fender moldings show the Tiguan’s all-weather capability.

Under the hood, Volkswagen’s tried and true turbo 2.0-liter four makes 184 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed auto and front-wheel drive, the diminutive powerplant has plenty of power, whether zipping around town or accelerating on an off-ramp. And gas mileage is a solid 24/31 MPG city/highway.

Inside, there’s third-row seating and room for seven. Cloth upholstery is durable and comfortable. Heated front seats make cold mornings a little easier. And standard A/C keeps things cool in the summer.

An 8.0-inch digital information display is high-tech and functional, and Bluetooth technology offers seamless connectivity. The 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system has the popular Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces. Keyless access with push-button start lets you drive away in a jiff.

The Tiguan S also includes driver’s assistance technology like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking, and pedestrian monitoring.

The fully loaded 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line: features, specs, pricing

The range-topping VW Tiguan SEL R-Line ($38,900 plus destination) brings upgraded performance, tech, and luxury. Let’s take a closer look.

Exterior-wise, the Tiguan R-Line SEL looks as much sports car as it does SUV. It has a strong stance due to its 20-inch alloy wheels, and an array of R-Line body components (grille, badging, intakes) show its performance intent. And for open-air fun, there’s a panoramic moonroof.

While the Tiguan R-Line SEL uses the same turbo 2.0-liter four as the S model, it adds 4MOTION AWD for off-the-line grip and all-weather traction. An eight-speed auto handles gear changes for smooth, efficient acceleration. Gas mileage dips slightly to 21/28 MPG city/highway.

The interior receives numerous enhancements, like leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and ambient lighting. Eight-way power-adjustable front seats bring long-distance comfort. And the R-Line leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel adds style and convenience.

Additionally, there’s a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen for improved usability. The Fender premium audio system makes your favorite songs sound even better. Wireless charging keeps devices topped off on the go.
