The Volkswagen Tiguan has long been a popular choice for compact SUV buyers who want a spacious, well-equipped vehicle. But how does the current Tiguan stack up against the upcoming 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo? Let's look closer at the differences in performance, exterior, and interior between these two SUVs.
Performance in the Current VW Tiguan
The 2025 VW Tiguan is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 201 horsepower. This TSI engine features direct fuel injection and an engine start-stop system for improved efficiency. The Tiguan comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD), while Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive (AWD) system is available for enhanced traction and capability. With the 2.0-liter turbo engine, the Tiguan delivers rapid acceleration and passing power around Washington Township.
Exterior and Interior of Current VW Tiguan
On the outside, the Volkswagen Tiguan sports a bold, modern design with clean lines and distinctive styling elements. Available exterior features include 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, heated side mirrors, LED headlights, and taillights. Premium touches give the Tiguan an upscale appearance on the streets of Sicklerville.
Inside the spacious cabin, the current Tiguan offers seating for up to five passengers. V-Tex leatherette or leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a digital cockpit display are some of the interior amenities in the well-appointed Tiguan. As you drive to Deptford Township, the Tiguan provides plenty of cargo space for luggage, groceries, and sports gear.
Performance in 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo
The 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo will take performance to the next level with a high-output 2.0-liter TSI turbo engine producing 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That's a significant boost in power over the current model. The 2026 Tiguan will also come standard with Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive (AWD) system for confidence-inspiring traction and handling in any weather or road conditions you might encounter in Philadelphia, PA.
Exterior and Interior of 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo
On the exterior, the 2026 Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo will feature sportier, more aggressive styling befitting its increased performance. Large 20-inch machined alloy wheels, projector LED headlights with adaptive beams, and special R-Line bumpers and trim will set this Tiguan apart.
The '26 Tiguan SEL R-Line interior will be a true showcase of Volkswagen luxury and technology. Walnut wood, Veranna leather seats, and a standard 15.0-inch touchscreen are just some of the flagship features drivers can look forward to in this top-tier Tiguan trim.
