If you’ve been waiting to jump on the Volkswagen Tiguan bandwagon, then perhaps 2023 is the year for you to finally make the jump as VW’s hot selling CUV continues to check all the right boxes.

4Motion AWD comes as standard on all Tiguans, and it’s able to shuffle power to the front and rear axles as often and as readily as it likes in order to respond the prevailing conditions before the driver even realizes what they’re getting into.

That’s especially helpful in the winter, of course, and speaking of winter: for 2023 VW plans on keeping its Tiguan owners plus their friends and family more comfortable by continuing to offer heated front seats and steering wheel as standard on all trims.

Power for 2023 comes from a single engine source: the tried, tested and true 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pumps out 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. That’s great; better still is how that’s all done using less than 10L/100 km of fuel in the combined cycle. Power is fed to all four wheels via an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.

Inside, road-trippers will be happy to know that there is more than 2,000 litres of cargo room inside if you fold the second row seats, and over 1,000 if you leave them up. They also split 40/20/40, so you can fit long items through and still comfortably carry four adults.

From the mechanical safety of AWD, we come to the electronic safety of VW’s IQ.DRIVE safety suite, which offers all manner of safety aids to help keep the driver on the straight-and-narrow. Pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision alert, lane centering and even tech that watches for potential obstacles ahead and warns drivers is all here, plus a whole lot more.

This and so much more awaits you in the 2023 Tiguan, so come pay us a visit! We’d love to show you around.
