2023 – 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan
The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan is the only compact crossover to provide European flair in the form of responsive handling and tasteful tailoring. The solely available motor is a silky turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that provides acceptable performance and respectable fuel economy. Every model comes standard with a slew of high-tech amenities like digital gauges, modern infotainment integration, and helpful driver aids. The interior has plenty of room for passengers and cargo. Tiguan was recently updated for 2022, the relatively minor revisions for 2023 are understandable.

The 2023 Tiguan’s exterior design maintains a nice balance between refinement and ruggedness. It has a sporty, confident look thanks to the sculpted lines and angles that also enhance its aerodynamics, leading to greater efficiency and performance. The Tiguan is instantly recognizable by its trademark LED headlights, imposing grille, and breathtaking choice of vivid color options. Once inside, you’ll find a haven of modern conveniences and soothing amenities. The interior was carefully constructed with high-quality materials to make every trip comfortable. With its spacious cabin and thoughtful layout, travelling with friends and family will always be a pleasure.

Features for Safety and Helping the Driver
Volkswagen includes basic driver-aid technologies like automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring at no extra cost but charges for more advanced ones like lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. Visit the websites of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for complete details on Tiguan’s performance in crash tests. Important safety features consist of:
- Automatic brakes and collision warning systems are now the norm.
- Lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist are features that can be had.

- A four-year/fifty-thousand-mile limited warranty is provided.
- A four-year/50,000-mile warranty is included on the powertrain.
