Trims And Prices – 2024 VW Tiguan

Tiguan is being offered in four trim configurations for 2024.  With MSRPs starting just under $30k for the base model S and topping out just under $40k for the top-of-the-line SEL R-Line.

2024 VW Tiguan Trims & Starting MSRPs:

• S $28,505
  
• SE $31,205
  
• SE R-Line Black $34,205
  
• SEL R-Line $38,505
  

If you’re wondering which to go with, we like the top two trims.  The SE R-Line Black saves a few bucks while delivering sweet styling.  But the SEL R-Line, if it fits your budget, is our preference.  While it’s slightly less sporty-style-leaning.  It delivers a more classy/executive look.  While also coming packed with all the features available.

Engine, Transmissions & MPG

Volkswagen is keeping the 2024 Tiguan straightforward in the powertrain department.  Offering a single engine with two optional drives.  It’s a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder.  Turbocharged with 16 valves it puts out 184 horsepower with 221 pound-feet of torque.

The same spirited eight-speed automatic transmission is included.  But your drive options are two-fold.  There’s front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.  And in Volkswagen-speak AWD is referred to as 4Motion.

Overall Tiguan brings solid fuel economy.  With slight variations depending on your trim and drivetrain.  Combined fuel economy comes in between 24 to 27 mpg.  City gas mileage is estimated at 22 to 24 mpg.  And highway 29 to 31 mpg.  So the entire 202 4 VW Tiguan trim lineup mpg is estimated between 22 and 31 mpg.

Curb Weight & Towing Capacity

The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan weighs in at 3,732 pounds in FWD.  Weighing a bit more when factoring AWD/4Motion.  That’s when it comes in at 3,818 lbs.

And Tiguan’s towing capacity maxes out at 1,500 lbs.  Giving you the ability to haul a couple of average-sized personal watercraft, with a braked trailer.

Inside The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan

Spending time inside Tiguan is a pleasure.  Because Volkswagen’s fit and finish details are seen and felt throughout the vehicle.

From the great use of space to the joints where various panels come together.  Notable inside Tiguan is the ample legroom for both front and second-row passengers.  Because at 40.2 and 38.7 inches, Tiguan’s legroom, as a compact SUV, rivals that of some midsize SUVs.

Furthermore, Tiguan’s offering of a third row of seating in a compact SUV is an uncommon option.  Attracting many families to the versatility of having that third-row option.  For sure it’s sized for kids.  But having the option can make all the difference.

Interior dimensions:

• Headroom:
  
  • w/o sunroof 39.6/38.9/33.8
    
  • w/ sunroof 38.2/37.8/33.8
    
  
  
• Shoulder room 57.0/55.8/47.8
  
• Hip room 54.5/53.5/39.5
  
• Legroom 40.2/38.7/27.9

Cargo Space

With Tiguan’s optional third row of seating, its available cargo space varies.  That plus whether you go with FWD or AWD.

So with both the second and third rows of seats in use, you have 12 cubic feet of cargo area.  Then with only the second row in use, there’s 33.0 to 37.6 cu ft.  Or you can fold both rows of backseats down and enjoy 65.3 to 73.4 cu ft.

Up to 73.4 cu-ft of cargo space

Infotainment & Technology

Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit is standard throughout the entire 2024 Tiguan lineup.  And when you go with the top-trimmed SEL R-Line that bumps up to Digital Cockpit Pro with extended features including a 10.25-inch touchscreen.

Wireless app connect,  wireless charging, and voice control come on all but the base model S.  And when it comes to audio, the standard 6-speaker system works great.  But enticing you to go with that top trim is a 9-speaker Fender premium system taking your listening experience up a few notches.

And VW’s IQ.Drive suite of tech and safety features comes standard throughout all trims.  But here again, Volkswagen entices buyers with extra features at the SEL R-Line trim level.

Plus Volkswagen’s myVW App is standard across all trims.  Its former name was Car-Net.  Empowering you to keep connected to your Tiguan even when you’re physically separated.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

All 2024 Tiguans include a maintenance program and a limited new vehicle warranty.

Providing scheduled maintenance for the first two years or 20,000 miles – whichever comes first.  Plus 3 years or 36,000 miles of roadside assistance – whichever comes first.  Also, a 4-year 50,000 mile, whichever comes first, new vehicle limited warranty.  And 5-years of remote features through myVW App.
