Volkswagen of America, Inc., announced that pricing of the all-new 2018 Tiguan will start at US$ 25,345 for the turbocharged 2.0L TSI S FWD model, and US$ 26,645 for the 2.0L TSI S 4Motion. A fully loaded VW Tiguan can cost US$ 40,445. Destination fee on all models is US$ 900.

Built off of Volkswagen’s award-winning MQB architecture, the Mexico-made 2018 Tiguan features a more modern design with bold lines, a wider stance, and premium interior touches. At 185.1 inches long, it gains 10.6 inches in length over the existing model, and features up to 58% more cargo space. Third-row seating comes standard on FWD models, and is optional on AWD models.

The new Tiguan offers a combination of both passive and active safety systems such as the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. The 2018 Tiguan also carries the best transferable bumper-to-bumper warranty among SUVs in America: a six-year or 72,000-mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty, with coverage that’s transferable beyond the first owner. The Volkswagen SUV bumper-to-bumper transferable warranty, also applicable to 2018 Atlas models, includes coverage of powertrain components.

The 2018 Tiguan arrives in dealerships this Summer. It will be available with an eight-speed automatic transmission mated to a four-cylinder turbocharged and direct-injection 2.0-liter TSI engine that produces 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
