Additionally, new features to the Tiguan family are also introduced to the SUV.
 

Performance

Despite all the changes to the visuals and interior amenities, the same dependable powertrain from the 2021 model year of the Tiguan makes its way back into the 2022 version. The four-cylinder engine that the 2022 Tiguan offers brings turbocharged performance to make every trip around Michigan satisfying. Delivering 184 horsepower to the road, the Tiguan makes sure the driver can handle whatever situation they face with confidence and plenty of power. FWD remains the standard drivetrain for the 2022 Tiguan, while drivers can opt for 4Motion® AWD on the FWD models. The newest model of the Tiguan also gets slightly better highway fuel economy compared to its 2021 counterpart. 

Exterior & Interior Features

For the 2022 model year, Volkswagen has given the Tiguan a new set of exterior visual changes that drivers will adore. Both the front and rear bumpers, along with the front grille have been redesigned to give the compact SUV an appearance worthy of the new model year. Even the LED headlights have been altered to give the vehicle a more striking appearance. Customers can also choose from new wheel designs that add more personalization to the 2022 Tiguan. 

Inside, heated front seating is now a standard feature across every 2022 Tiguan. The steering wheel in every Tiguan has also been redesigned for 2022 with touch-sensitive controls being a welcome addition. For trims above the base S level, the SUV comes equipped with a new climate control panel that is also touch-sensitive. Otherwise, plenty of infotainment technology remains from the 2021 model year to give everyone in the vehicle the immersion that they desire. This includes connectivity to both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features. 

Safety Features

The 2021 Tiguan was a safe and reliable SUV thanks to the wide array of driver-assistance technology that customers could count on across the trim level range. This same attention to a safe driving experience has been maintained in the 2022 model year of the Tiguan. With both Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning as standard features, the front of the compact SUV is protected through extensive monitoring.
