2025 Volkswagen Tiguan
Overview
Adding some much-needed European flair to the crowded compact SUV segment is the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan. The third-generation model is coming to the U.S. soon, likely to be revealed in 2024, and will add a plug-in-hybrid model to up the Tiguan’s stable. Fortunately, the Tiguan will feature a similar suspension and platform as the current GTI hatchback, which is great news for those who care enough about driving excitement to notice. VW says the upcoming Tiguan has grown an inch in length than the outgoing model, which could make it feel a little roomier than the model it will soon replace. We’ll update this story with pricing, specs, and photos of the new Tiguan sans camo when that information becomes available. The Tiguan competes directly against other recently refreshed crossovers such as theĀ Honda CR-V, theĀ Mazda CX-50, and theĀ Kia Sportage.

What’s New for 2025?
The third-generation Tiguan is set to arrive for the 2025 model year. While we’ve only seen camouflaged prototypes, we believe the new Tiguan will ride on VW’s MQB Evo platform which also underpins theĀ GTIĀ hatchback and theĀ Audi A3. The next-generation Tiguan will offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain that VW claims can travel as far as 62 miles in electric-only mode. A fully revamped interior and exterior are featured on the new Tiguan, with more specific details to be announced sometime in 2024.

A new exterior and fresh interior bless the third-generation Tiguan, and despite its growth over the outgoing model, we don’t think pricing will be too dramatically different than the outgoing Tig. Using another compact crossover PHEV as reference, such as the Kia Sportage
A new exterior and fresh interior bless the third-generation Tiguan, and despite its growth over the outgoing model, we don’t think pricing will be too dramatically different than the outgoing Tig. Using another compact crossover PHEV as reference, such as the Kia Sportage X Line PHEV, we think the Tiguan PHEV will sit at the top of the Tiguan range, starting at a price of $40,000 or more.
