What’s new on the 2022 VW Tiguan?
The first thing you’ll notice that’s new on the Tiguan is its exterior. The VW SUV has a revised front end, new LED lighting, four new wheel designs, and optional updated R-Line elements. You can choose from eight colors for the 2022 Tiguan’s exterior while two new interior options have been added: Cinnamon leatherette and Noisette leather.
Also new in its cabin is a standard 8-inch display as well as VW Car-Net with in-car Wi-Fi capability. Heated front seating is standard, but you’ll have to upgrade for a heated steering wheel or ventilated front seats. As with most vehicles, you can add other available features like the Fender premium audio system, 15-color ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof.
The IQ.DRIVE driver-assist suite of safety tech is standard on all but the base trim of the new Tiguan. This includes the typical systems like a Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Traffic Alert, Lane Assist, and Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian Monitoring. You can also add other systems (for a price) like high beam control, Park Assist, and Dynamic Road Sign Recognition.
