2024 Volkswagen Tiguan: A Refined Compact SUV

2024 Volkswagen Tiguan: A Refined Compact SUV
Posted By: Randi Payton on August 31, 2024


Ever since the Volkswagen Tiguan launched in 2008, I have driven each model year, witnessing its evolution firsthand. While the 2024 model may not introduce significant changes, it continues to refine its strengths, enhancing performance, comfort, and technology. Each iteration builds on the last, proving that even subtle improvements can lead to a better driving experience year after year. The anticipation for the 2025 redesign only adds to my excitement for what’s next in this compact SUV's journey.

This year’s Volkswagen Tiguan continues to be a popular choice in the compact SUV category. Offering a combination of German engineering, European style, and practicality, the Tiguan consistently ranks among the top-selling compact SUVs in the U.S. Its combination of value, reliability, and versatility makes it a strong contender in its segment.

The Tiguan entered 2024 with a few exterior modifications to further its appeal and minor interior upgrades to the infotainment system and cabin. Highlights include a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, heated front seats, a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and advanced driver assistance systems.

Volkswagen also added the VW’s IQ.DRIVE driver-assistance system as standard on the base model. It includes adaptive cruise control with lane-centering. Other additions to this year’s base model include auto high beam headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, a faux leather steering wheel, and wireless charging.

Models/Pricing: The Tiguan is available in five trim levels, offering a different level of features and luxury: The base S ($30,305), Wolfsburg Edition ($32,420), SE ($33,005), SE R-Line Black ($36,005), and the SEL R-Line ($40,305).



The R-Line trim adds a touch of sportiness with its black accents and sporty styling cues. The exterior is equally appealing, with its sharp lines and athletic stance.

Engine/Power: The 2024 Tiguan's performance is smooth and brisk. It is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 184 horsepower and 221 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is paired with Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, which shifts smoothly and easily maneuvers past other vehicles on city streets and highways.

Fuel Economy: The Tiguan's fuel economy is generally competitive for a compact SUV. The EPA rates the front-wheel-drive model at 24 city/31 highway mpg, while the all-wheel drive averages 22 city/29 highway mpg. The exact figures may vary depending on driving conditions and options, but you can expect reasonable fuel efficiency for daily commuting and highway trips.
