2026: Volkswagen added the SEL R-Line Turbo at the top of the lineup. It swaps the standard 201-hp engine for a 268-hp, 258 lb-ft version of the 2.0-liter turbo, adds standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive, and brings the most upscale cabin a Tiguan has had: massaging, ventilated front seats, a 15-inch screen and Harman Kardon audio.
2027: The Tiguan carries over with light updates. Higher-resolution rear and surround-view camera images arrive, and the Auto Hold brake function becomes standard across the lineup. Trims, engines and dimensions stay the same, which makes an in-stock 2026 an easy choice if the price is right.
This is the third-generation Tiguan, introduced for 2025. It is a two-row, five-seat SUV; the previous generation's optional third row is gone.

Very little. The 2027 Tiguan keeps the same four trims, engines and design. Volkswagen's updates for 2027 are small: sharper rear and surround-view camera images and the Auto Hold brake function standard on every model. If you find a 2026 Tiguan with the equipment you want, you are not missing anything meaningful.
The S, SE and SE R-Line Black use a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 201 horsepower. The SEL R-Line Turbo gets a stronger 2.0-liter turbo making 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Every Tiguan uses an 8-speed automatic.
Yes. 4MOTION all-wheel drive is available on the S, SE and SE R-Line Black and standard on the SEL R-Line Turbo.
No. The current-generation Tiguan seats five. If you need a third row, look at the Volkswagen Atlas, which seats up to seven.
The Tiguan holds 33.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 69.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
Up to 1,500 pounds with front-wheel drive and up to 1,800 pounds with 4MOTION all-wheel drive, when properly equipped.
