Hello.
I am Uniji (YukaPost), an automotive influencer.
The Volkswagen Tiguan, a compact SUV representing the German automotive brand, has gained immense popularity globally since its initial launch. It has established itself as a bestseller in the domestic market, particularly in the imported SUV sector. The recently unveiled 2025 model of the Tiguan has garnered significant attention with its upgraded performance and convenience features.
The 2025 Tiguan has seen a slight price increase compared to its predecessor (approximately 600 USD), but it boasts significantly improved performance and a luxurious interior design. The most notable change is in the powertrain, as it now features a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, increasing the maximum output to 201 horsepower—a boost of 17 horsepower over the previous model. Additionally, the vehicle's weight has been reduced by about 170 pounds, enhancing fuel efficiency.
Volkswagen has also paid close attention to the new design changes in the Tiguan. The extended wheelbase and sleek LED headlamp design stand out, while various exterior colors, side mirrors, and silver roof rails add a touch of luxury. Even the base model (S trim) features 17-inch alloy wheels, achieving a simple yet refined look.
The interior design emphasizes a luxurious yet modern feel, captivating many customers. The base model includes a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a large 12.9-inch infotainment display, allowing users to intuitively and conveniently access various vehicle information. Additionally, a wireless smartphone charger and USB-C ports come standard, enhancing convenience for modern smartphone users.
Furthermore, the higher trims of the 2025 Tiguan offer 30-color ambient lighting, natural walnut interior trim, and premium Valena leather seats, boasting an interior that rivals premium sedans. The SEL R-Line model includes seats with massage and ventilation functions, ensuring optimal comfort during long drives.
The compact yet powerful 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan stands out for its safety features, raising questions about its potential in the family car market. The new Tiguan comes equipped with the advanced driver assistance system IQDrive, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring, enhancing the driver's safety. Additionally, parking assistance and rear warning systems further improve convenience for drivers.
Meanwhile, the Volkswagen Tiguan competes with models like Hyundai's Tucson and Kia's Sportage. Compared to these competitors, the Tiguan excels in interior quality and driving experience, complemented by the refined driving feel and stable handling typical of German cars. However, the absence of hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, which are gaining popularity for their eco-friendliness, poses a significant drawback. Additionally, the relatively high prices for premium trims are also criticized.
Some consumers express disappointment over the Tiguan's somewhat conservative design style, but the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan still captures attention as a compact SUV with excellent performance, advanced convenience features, and a luxurious interior, all at a reasonable price increase. It offers clear differentiation in safety, driving experience, and interior quality compared to competing models, making it a strong contender for consumers seeking a luxury SUV. We appreciate your valuable feedback in the comments, and we hope you have a joyful and happy day as we conclude this post.

After its launch, it received accolades, winning the '2025 SUV of the Year in Korea!' The secret to the Grand Koleos's popularity, which burst onto the scene in the mid-size SUV market last year, has been its immense popularity since its debut.

Once a savior during the crisis of Ssangyong Motors, the Torress continues to shine under its new name, KGM (KG Mobility), driving the company's overall sales. KGM has produced the Torress EVX, a pure electric SUV based on the Torress, along with gasoline and bi-fuel models, and now the hybrid version.

As interest grows in the recently spotted Genesis GV90 test vehicles, anticipation builds for the upcoming 'Genesis GV90' set to launch in 2026. The interest in the 'GV90' surged after the electric SUV Neolune concept was unveiled at the '2024 Busan Mobility Show' last year.
