2026 Volkswagen Tiguan Consumer Reviews

We purchased one of the first 2026 Tiguan SEL Turbos about 5.5 months ago and now with 2.700 miles I'm very impressed with the ride, quietness, quality and performance (268 HP and no turbo lag!) It is fully loaded with even more features than we were used to in our 2022 Audi Q5 Sportback and for about 15K less. Features such as front AND rear heated seats and steering wheel, park distance control, adaptive front driving lights, 20" wheels, AWD, clima coat windshield with full UV protection, Harmon Kardon audio, dynamic road sign display, panoramic sunroof, and rich looking premium leather ventilated seats with MASSAGE are a few standard features in this model that would be 60K+ in any other make. Also, 28.3 MPG average since new in a money saving non- hybrid only requiring regular gas with a cruising range over 500 miles per tank full. That's why it's impressive! JR

Purchased new 2025 volkswagen tiguan se nice ride good on gas drives just perfect 3000 miles no problems so far

I leased a 2025 Tiguan SE on 08/25/25. So far I am impressed with the ride and the standard equipment. Since this was my first VW since 1970 I got the SE. I have some regrets not getting the top model, just for the extra equipment. So far with 2000 miles it's been trouble free. There is a learning curve on the tech but that's true of any modern vehicle. The ride is smooth. The steering is precise. And the milage. 25 in the city. 30 on the highway. In recent years I have had a Jaguar, 2 Volvo's, 3 Mazda's, and an Audi.

Just got it, rides great, good pickup, quiet ride, love the styling, had Toyota RAV 4 but like this better, have a Subaru Outback XT also. Time will tell with reliability.

My wife and I purchased a 2025 VW Tiguan on May 30, 2025. I love the Tiguan's comfort, performance and drive. However. . .On July 14, I brought the vehicle to the VW dealer’s service center for problems with the Infotainment system locking up and wireless charging not working. On July 24, I experienced the CarPlay disconnecting (“not available”) and later that day the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Travel Assist malfunctioned (“not available”). On July 28, I returned the vehicle to the VW dealer’s service center for intermittent problems with the ACC, Cruise Control, and Travel Assist not working (with error messages indicated) and CarPlay (“not available”). I have meticulously documented multiple problems, which I have shared in emails (including photos of error messages) and meetings with the VW dealer’s service and sales managers. Please note that I experienced the same problems with the ACC, Cruise Control, and Travel Assist on two 2025 loaner Tiguans that I documented on our Tiguan. I have also maintained a journal and MFRs of the continuing problems and a records of my email and discussions with VW dealer’s service and sales managers, as well as the VW Customer Care Center. Since July, the VW dealer’s service center has had the vehicle for diagnostics and service four times for 62 days (and counting). After replacing one of the cameras on the Tiguan, the VW service center is now replacing the radar sensor. I’m hopeful but skeptical. If customers are interested in buying a 2025 VW Tiguan, they should perform their due diligence.
