If you are looking for a compact SUV, look no further than the new 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. This popular model offers several trim levels, so we will look at the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0T SE 4MOTION SUV vs 2021 Tiguan 2.0T SEL Premium R-Line 4MOTION SUV to help you choose the right one in Philadelphia. At Cherry Hill Volkswagen, we share all of the vital specs with you.
The 2021 Volkswagen SE trim is one notch above the base model and features a starting price of $27,395. If you prefer the top of the line, you will want the SEL Premium R-Line with a starting price of $39,095 instead. However, there are other trim levels available at varying price points.
Both VW Tiguan models contain the same powertrain – a 184-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-four paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With all-wheel-drive, these SUVs are rated at 20/27 mpg. However, there are front-wheel-drive models available that get 22/29 mpg instead. When properly equipped, the Tiguan can tow 1,500 pounds.
While the Tiguan with front-wheel-drive comes standard with seven-passenger seating, both of these AWD models have room for five people, but the third row can be added. Because it is a two-row SUV, the rear cargo space measures 37.6 cubic feet, while there is 73.5 cubic feet when the second row is folded down.
Standard features with the Tiguan SE include synthetic leather upholstery, an eight-inch touch screen, heated front seats, proximity keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start and HD Radio. It also comes with a six-speaker sound system, Android Auto Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hot spot and three USB ports. The SEL Premium R-Line includes every feature you desire, such as a premium nine-speaker Fender sound system, a hands-free liftgate and genuine leather upholstery.
The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan dimensions measure 185″ L x 72″ W x 66″ H. The SE trim contains 17-inch wheels, while the SEL Premium R-Line includes 20-inch wheels. Plus, the SE is available with seven exterior paint colors, while the SEL Premium R-Line offers six.
The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is an IIHS Top Safety Pick. SE models come equipped with a rearview camera, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, pedestrian detection, rear cross traffic alert and automatic emergency braking. The SEL Premium R-Line contains almost every safety feature you could want, including front and rear parking sensors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a surround-view parking camera system, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, lane keep assist and lane departure warning.
