If you know Volkswagen, you know they're great at keeping their vehicles fresh. Whether it's a classic like the VW Beetle, or the GTI, Volkswagen is keen on making sure its customers are always getting the most up-to-date, modern and feature-rich vehicle possible.
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan recently received some exciting updates that have made an already great compact SUV an even better one. Volkswagen loaded the Tiguan with more standard features, gave it a nice facelift and has improved some of the functional design elements for an improved driver experience — not to mention some fun bells and whistles thrown in for good measure.
It's already been a hit with journalists, too. Car and Driver gave the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan their Editors' Choice award in the mid-size SUV category, remarking, "It's handsomely styled, well-equipped and practical."
The Tiguan is an SUV that can take on anything your day-to-day life can throw at it, and you can check out over 70 of them today at Volkswagen SouthTowne.
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan – stylish, modern and an excellent value
Volkswagen's latest design elements from the forward-thinking ID.4 and iconic GTI have carried over to the new 2022 Tiguan. These modern and attractive styling cues are apparent with new LED headlights and taillights, the grille and wheels. Buyers will have the choice between 17 and 20-inch wheels, as well as a myriad of vibrant colors to choose from, including Kings Red and Oryx White.
The interior of the Volkswagen Tiguan has also received some nice upgrades. The steering wheel has undergone a complete redesign and an eight-inch digital gauge cluster now comes standard on each trim level. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard features on every trim but the base level.
Depending on trim level, other features include Volkswagen's new touch-sensitive climate controls, heated front seats, a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster, air-conditioned seats and a brown leather interior.
"The Tiguan has always been one of our most popular SUVs," said Josh Osborne, general manager for Volkswagen SouthTowne. "And we couldn't be more excited that this refreshed 2022 offers our clients a more distinguished design with premium upgrades that come standard. We know our guests are going to love it!"
And if you need room for extra passengers, Tiguan offers an optional third row of seating.
Safety and technology feature upgrades
Like the 2021 Tiguan, the 2022 model will run on a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Producing 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, the 2022 Tiguan is fun-to-drive and one of the best-performing SUVs in the VW line-up. Volkswagen has also done an excellent job with packaging, as the Tiguan's interior comfort, storage and space belies its compact size.
The 2022 Tiguan includes some of the most impressive safety and convenience features on the road today. Housed in Volkswagen's "IQ.DRIVE," safety features like Travel Assist Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Active Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Traffic Alert and more, give you the confidence to hit the road in any traffic or weather condition.
The 2022 Tiguan also comes with Volkswagen Car-Net, Volkswagen's feature-rich smartphone app. Car-Net features include remote commands, family guardian alerts, a hotspot and more.
Industry best coverage and care
Volkswagen offers some of the best warranty and service coverage in the industry. For the 2021 and 2022 models, Volkswagen has expanded their service and care with their Carefree Coverage plan.
This plan includes:
- Two years of scheduled carefree maintenance (or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first)
- Three years of roadside assistance (or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first)
- A four-year new-vehicle limited warranty (or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first)
- Five years of Car-Net Remote Access

Buying (and selling) in an unusual market
Volkswagen SouthTowne wants to buy your car, whether you're ready to buy a Tiguan or not — although you may not want to wait too long.
"The car market is crazy right now. You never know when prices are going to go up, so waiting for the market to settle down may not be in your best interest," Osborne said. "During our Market Madness sale, we give guests more than market-average for their car so they can make the market work in their favor. Plus we still have good deals on new cars like financing for as low as 1.9% APR and used cars starting at just $8,000!"
