Late summer/early fall is the ideal time for one last getaway from North Vancouver. The completely redesigned 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan makes these weekend adventures more comfortable and confident than ever before. Built on the new MQB evo platform, this third-generation SUV combines practical features with advanced technology.
Seven specific features stand out for families heading to Whistler, exploring the Sunshine Coast, or navigating BC’s mountain roads. Each one addresses real challenges that West Coast drivers face during weekend escapes—from steep grades to long stretches of highway to the need for flexible cargo space.
Advanced Navigation That Finds Hidden Gems
The 2025 Tiguan features a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard, with available 15-inch displays on higher trim levels. This larger screen makes route planning and navigation easier when searching for that perfect trailhead in Squamish or a tucked-away café in Pemberton. The MIB4 system includes satellite navigation on Highline models, helping you discover destinations beyond the usual weekend spots.
The central rotary dial control in the console allows easy adjustments without taking your eyes off winding Sea-to-Sky curves.
Front Seat Comfort for Long-Haul Drives
Available 12-way power front seats include a 10-point full-back massage function and ventilation. These quilted leather seats help reduce fatigue on the two-hour drive to Whistler or beyond. The massage feature targets specific pressure points that often become uncomfortable during extended highway travel.
Driver seat memory function ensures your preferred position is always ready when switching drivers on road trips.
Head-Up Display for Mountain Roads
The available Head-Up Display projects key driving information directly onto the windshield. This feature proves especially valuable on unfamiliar mountain highways where you need to monitor speed limits while keeping your focus on curves and elevation changes. Navigation prompts appear in your line of sight, reducing distractions.
The system displays speed, turn-by-turn directions, and driver assistance alerts without blocking your view of the road.
4MOTION AWD for Every Adventure
Standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive is included on every 2025 Tiguan trim level. This system automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels when it detects slip on gravel forestry roads, rainy West Coast trails, or snowy mountain passes.
Electronic differential lock and Hill Descent Control add confidence on steeper routes up to Cypress or Grouse Mountain.
USB-C Fast Charging for Everyone
Two standard 45-watt USB-C fast charging ports keep devices powered during long drives. Additional rear-seat ports ensure passengers stay connected for photos, music, or emergency calls in areas with patchy service.
The wireless charging pad (standard on most trims) keeps the cabin clutter-free while maintaining device power.
Cargo Flexibility for Weekend Gear
The redesigned cargo area offers 1,668 litres of space with the rear seats folded. Smart storage solutions and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat adapt to mountain bikes, ski gear, coolers, or shopping picked up at local markets.
The power tailgate with Easy Open/Close function (available on upper trims) makes loading easier when your hands are full of weekend supplies.
Improved Fuel Economy for Distance Driving
The revised 2.0L 4-cylinder engine produces 201 hp while delivering better fuel efficiency than before. Weight savings of 77 kg help with acceleration and economy during longer drives up the Sea-to-Sky or ferry lineups to the Sunshine Coast. The 8-speed automatic transmission optimizes performance for steady highway cruising.
With a combined fuel consumption rating of 9.3 L/100 km, you’ll make fewer stops and spend more time enjoying your destination.
