2014 Volkswagen Tiguan Overview
What's New for 2014
The Tiguan gets a fifth trim level at the top of the line featuring a sport package along with some comfort and convenience upgrades. Volkswagen’s new Car-Net telematics system is also standard at trim level SE and above.
Choosing Your Volkswagen Tiguan
ZoomThe only engine is assigned to the Tiguan is a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder model capable of 200 horsepower.
If you’re considering the base-level S trim you’ll choose either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic transmission with Sport and Manual modes; the automatic is standard for all other trims.
Front-wheel drive is standard for all trims and an optional 4Motion all-wheel-drive system is available for all Tiguans except S models with the manual transmission.
Five trim levels begin with the base S trim and end with the new R-Line.
While the S level is the base trim, it goes above the basic level with such features as:
Zoom- An eight-speaker sound system with a CD player that’s MP3 and WMA compatible, Bluetooth audio streaming, and an auxiliary jack for portable music players
- Leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel
- Single-zone climate control
- Rear bench seat with 40/20/40-split with fold-flat function
- Fold-flat front passenger seat to extend cargo capacity for long narrow loads
- Black cloth upholstery
- Seven exterior color choices
- 16-inch Portland alloy wheels
The SE trim retains all of the S level’s features except where they are replaced by the following upgrades:
Zoom- 17-inch alloy wheels
- Media interface with iPod connectivity
- Car-Net telematics service
- Heated front seats
- Driver’s seat power-recline function

- Rearview camera
- Front passenger seat power-recline function
New features and upgrades take a serious jump at the SEL level which includes:
- Panoramic sunroof

- Dual-zone climate control
The top-of-the-line R-Line trim includes several sport-themed features as well as added comfort and convenience items including:
Zoom- 19-inch alloy wheels
- R-Line body kit
- Sport suspension
- Paddle shifters

- Heated power-folding and power-adjustable outside mirrors with memory function
- Leather upholstery in either black or beige
- Bi-xenon adaptive headlights

CarsDirect TipAdding features to any German car adds serious heft to its price tag. More than $13,000 separates the MSRPs of a base S and a range-topping R-Line. If you have a less restricted budget, we like the added features in an SEL, but an SE will probably do the trick for most Tiguan buyers.
