Volkswagen is gearing up to compete with Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson in the mid-size SUV segment as they announce the pricing for the third-generation 2025 Tiguan. This new iteration boasts a revamped platform, updated engine lineup, and enhanced cabin technology, signaling Volkswagen’s commitment to delivering value-packed offerings to the market.
The Australian market will see the entry-level Tiguan 110TSI Life priced at $44,990, with the top-tier 195TSI R-Line commanding $70,490. Notably, the absence of a hybrid variant in the Australian lineup sets it apart from its key competitors, although a plug-in hybrid option exists for other markets within the VW Group.
The 2025 Tiguan range benefits from the upgraded MQB Evo platform, offering new adaptive dampers and advanced cabin technology with a spacious 15-inch central touchscreen. Despite a 30mm increase in length, the Tiguan maintains a compact exterior size while providing an impressive 652 liters of boot space.
Starting with the 110kW/250Nm 110TSI Life powered by a 1.4-liter turbo-petrol engine, the Tiguan lineup offers a range of powertrains catering to different preferences. Safety features have been enhanced, with standard inclusions such as adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking, and a surround-view camera system.
The Elegance trim level adds more luxury and convenience features, including 19-inch alloy wheels, a larger multimedia touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and advanced safety technologies like AEB junction and rear cross-traffic alert. The 150TSI variant introduces a more powerful 2.0-liter turbo engine, while the R-Line models offer sportier aesthetics and additional premium amenities.
For enthusiasts seeking higher performance, the 196TSI R-Line model stands out with its Golf GTI-matching power output, accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 5.9 seconds. This flagship variant comes loaded with premium features such as a head-up display, Harman Kardon sound system, and a range of customizable options like the Black Style package.
Despite the price increase compared to the previous model, the 2025 Tiguan lineup offers more equipment and improved technology across all trim levels, making it a compelling choice in the competitive mid-size SUV segment. Volkswagen’s strategic pricing and feature offerings position the Tiguan as a strong contender against its rivals, setting the stage for an exciting showdown in the market.
