Volkswagen Tiguan MPG & Specs
Let's take a quick detour to explore what's under the hood contributing to the excellent Volkswagen Tiguan fuel economy ratings. The innovative 2.0-liter turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder engine pairs a swift rush of power with impressive efficiency. It produces 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard and contributes to smooth and intuitive ride quality.
The Start/Stop system, standard on all trims, cuts the engine when the brake pedal is engaged and restarts it when the pedal is released. Front-wheel drive is standard. However, if you opt for the intelligent 4MOTION AWD system, it also defaults to front-wheel drive, holding back on sending power to the rear axle unless needed. These features save you fuel without you ever having to lift a finger.
Volkswagen Tiguan MPG & Trim Levels
As previously stated, the Tiguan can be had as either a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive model. Volkswagen Tiguan gas tank size changes depending on your drivetrain. FWD models have a 15.3-gallon tank, whereas all-wheel-drive versions have a 15.9-gallon tank. Let's take a moment to assess how trim levels affect VW Tiguan fuel consumption so you can make an informed decision when selecting your desired configuration.
The Tiguan comes in four trim levels: S, SE, SE R-Line Black, and SEL R-Line. The entry-level trim equipped with FWD has an EPA-estimated rating of 24/31/27 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1 the best fuel economy the Tiguan offers. When you upgrade to 4MOTION AWD, the rating shifts to 22/29/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1 The S model comes standard with IQ.DRIVE, heated front seats, and a Volkswagen Digital Cockpit with an 8-inch digital instrument display.
Moving up the trim ladder to the sophomore Tiguan SE FWD gets you an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency of 23/30/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1 while the AWD variant has an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency of 22/29/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined). 1 This trim level affords you a remote power rear liftgate, panoramic sunroof, and faux leather seating surfaces. Remote engine start is another highlight for the Tiguan SE.
There's a slight dip with the Volkswagen Tiguan miles per gallon for the SE R-Line Black AWD model; it gets an EPA-estimated 22/29/24 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1 as opposed to the other AWD models, which boast 22/29/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1 This trim makes up for the lost gallon with multicolor adjustable ambient lighting, bigger tires, unique R-Line badging, a black-accented grille, and more.
Last but certainly not least, the SEL R-Line trim, which comes exclusively equipped with AWD, stays consistent with the other all-wheel-drive models at an EPA-estimated 22/29/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1 This top-of-the-line trim also has a Fender® premium audio system, leather seating, ventilated front seats, and a Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro with a 10.25-inch digital instrument display.
When you shop Volkswagen Tiguan models, you can't go wrong. Although some configurations have better ratings than others, your SUV will be fuel-sipping no matter which trim and drivetrain you select.
