  • vw has revealed the 2022 tiguan in u.s.-spec form.
  • it has visual changes inside and out and newly available features.
  • the 2022 tiguan will go on sale in the u.s. at the end of september.

    the volkswagen tiguan is getting an update for 2022, and we now know a lot more about the u.s. version of this compact crossover that will go on sale here in the fall. the long-wheelbase u.s.-spec model seen here has similar exterior and interior changes as the short-wheelbase euro-spec model we saw previously; the trim-level lineup will change, too, and there are some newly available features.

    the visual updates include newly standard led headlights, a different grille, and new wheel designs ranging from 17 to 20 inches. vw's new logo is present, and there's a new tiguan badge now in the center of the tailgate, like on the atlas. two new exterior colors are available including oryx white and kings red.

    inside, the steering wheel is new and an 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster is standard. the infotainment system is updated and now offers wireless apple carplay and android auto capabilities on all but the base model. touch-sensitive climate controls are offered on upper trim levels and capacitive buttons on the steering wheel come standard on r-line models. heated front seats are newly standard on the base s trim. the sel r-line has a larger 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster and also adds cooled front seats. a brown leather interior is newly offered on the top trim.

    the tiguan will still be available with either standard front-wheel drive or optional 4motion all-wheel drive. fwd models come with a third row of seats providing seven-passenger capacity, but the third row is no longer an option on awd models. that means that the loaded sel r-line trim level, which comes standard with 4motion, is five-passenger-only. the other models include the base s, the mid-level se, and the se r-line which has an appearance package including black wheels.

    there are no changes to the turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that comes standard across the board. it makes 184 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

    vw has yet to announce pricing but we expect it to rise somewhat compared with the 2021 tiguan. the base s should come in around $27,000, with loaded models topping $40,000.
