Volkswagen’s Tiguan heads into the 2022 model year retaining its perfect combination of style and function, but with a new and attractive facelift that keeps it looking fresh. The compact crossover is quick on its feet with its well-balanced chassis and offers a ton of versatility. Here’s your quick guide to the new 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan!
Sporty Performance
The Tiguan powertrain excels when it comes to smoothness and power delivery. All models are equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L inline-four engine that makes 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. 8-speed automatic transmission couples with the engine and always manage to select the right gear but allows for intuitive manual shifting with its Tiptronic mode. As for efficiency, the EPA estimates that the Tiguan can achieve up to 30 MPG on the highway.
Drivers will enjoy spirited handling from the SUV thanks to its well-tuned suspension, which features MacPherson struts and a multi-link rear axle with telescopic dampers. The steering feels incredibly direct and four-wheel disc brakes can quickly bring the vehicle to a stop.
Available All-Wheel Drive
While the Tiguan comes standard with a front-wheel-drive layout, it also offers Volkswagen’s intelligent 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system. This system is always active and uses a multi-clutch plate to distribute power between the front and rear axles. While driving on low-traction surfaces, it’s capable of preventing slippage by instantly transmitting power to the appropriate wheel.
Attractive and Amenity-Rich Interior
Volkswagen’s knack for designing handsome and functional interior cabins continues with the Tiguan. The vehicle’s interior features an ultra-modern look and excellent ergonomics. With its available three-row seating providing plenty of room for seven passengers, it becomes the ideal SUV for large families. If you need a cargo hauler, the rear seating can be folded down to provide up to 73.4 cubic feet of space.
In addition to coming standard with heated front seats, the Tiguan also offers V-Tex leatherette upholstery and Climatronic dual-zone automatic climate control. Other options include a large panoramic sunroof that opens up the interior to a great view of the sky and 15-color ambient lighting that helps set the mood.
Intuitive Technology and Connectivity
The new Tiguan comes loaded with the latest user-friendly technology. Navigating the streets is easier than ever before with the help of the highly customizable VW Digital Cockpit system. This innovative instrument panel display can show you a high-resolution map in addition to information like speed, RPM, and fluid levels. The available Dynamic Road Sign Display can help you keep track of speed limits, warning signs, and driving restrictions.
The vehicle’s infotainment touchscreen system provides connectivity through Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth wireless technology, and USB-C ports. For mobile internet access, the Wi-Fi hotspot allows the connection of up to four devices.
With its sleek, sophisticated looks, genuinely fun driving characteristics, and wealth of technology, it’s not hard to see why the Volkswagen Tiguan has been so widely acclaimed. Get in touch with VW Orchard Park today to learn more about the 2022 model and schedule a test drive!
