The Volkswagen Tiguan interior is an inviting and comfortable place to spend time while on the road, which is why we're reviewing this compact SUV's cabin in great detail. This stylish and athletic sport-ute features a spacious, comfortable interior with generous legroom and headroom, innovative VW technologies, and supportive seating, which is available in several materials, including cloth, leatherette, and genuine leather.
Join the Muller Volkswagen team as we cover the cavernous and high-tech cabin of the new Tiguan SUVs available through our dealership in Highland Park, IL.
The new Tiguan from Volkswagen comfortably seats up to five occupants in its airy two-row interior. This compact SUV's cabin space may surprise many motorists, as several competing crossovers and sport-utes struggle to match the comfort of the five-seater Tiguan.
Each edition of the new Tiguan sports the same seating configuration, with two supportive bucket seats up front and a split-folding bench seat in the second row.
Every new VW Tiguan comes with a five-passenger interior. However, that was not always the case. Some previous Tiguan SUVs offered an optional three-row cabin, enabling this model to transport up to seven occupants.
For the latest Tiguan lineup, though, Volkswagen decided to prioritize more passenger space and comfort for all, which is why this new compact SUV is now only available with a five-seat cabin. Continue reading to uncover the expansive VW Tiguan interior dimensions you can enjoy when you upgrade to one of these SUVs at our dealership.
A new Tiguan from Muller Volkswagen provides up to 103.8 cubic feet of total passenger volume spread across its two rows. Unlike your average compact SUV, this VW model brings just as much second-row legroom as the front row, measuring up to 40.2 inches in both rows.
Headroom is similarly spacious in each row, measuring more than 39 inches whether one is seated in the front or back (without the optional sunroof).
While striking ambient interior lighting is one of the popular amenities that separate the Tiguan from competing compact crossovers and SUVs, this upscale amenity is not included on all trims.
A 10-color ambient lighting setup is standard on the middle two editions, the Tiguan SE and SE R-Line Black, but not available on the entry-level S.
For even more cabin hue options, though, look to the range-topping Tiguan SE R-Line Turbo, which brings a 30-color adjustable ambient lighting system to your drive – along with an especially muscular turbocharged engine.
As you browse Volkswagen Tiguan interior photos, you might be curious to know how this SUV's cabin amenities vary by configuration. Some versions have a Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line interior, boasting sporty styling and exclusive touches. For instance, the Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line interior for the SE R-Line Black variant has black interior hues and stainless steel pedals.
