Cool Features of the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan #VW #Volkswagen #Tiguan #carreview #cartech #features

[0:00]Here are some of the cool features of the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan. Now this car was completely redesigned for 2025, but for 2026, it adds a 2 L turbo 4-cylinder engine that adds 67 horsepower and 51 lb feet of torque over the base engine. Outside the car, you get a puddle light at night and illuminated door handles. I like that you can get two-tone paint. This one has black on the top and avocado green on the bottom. This high-end trim gets 20-inch wheels and four-motion all-wheel drive. You get adaptive headlights, so they turn when you turn. This light bar that goes all the way across the front and an illuminated Volkswagen badge. There's also a light bar in the back and another illuminated logo. On those cold mornings, you get heated side mirrors, remote start and a heated windshield with heated windshield washer nozzles. Inside, you get this standard 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and this upgraded 15-inch infotainment screen, but a still impressive 12.9-inch screen is standard. Within this screen, you can see some gauges, your steering angle, your elevation, built-in navigation as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can adjust the climate using the slider right here, pressing the temperature right there and adjusting it that way. Or you can press this button to go to the climate screen to adjust all of the climate controls. And this is where you'd find the button for that heated windshield. Let's say if you want to simplify things and not mess with the temperature numbers or the fan speed numbers, you can go up here and just say, I want warm feet, or I want fresh air, or warm hands. Choose what you want to make yourself comfortable. Tucked away down here, you get a vertical wireless charging pad. Up top, you get this large panoramic sunroof that opens and has a powered sunshade. There are comfortable heated and cooled and massaging front seats. Let me tell you the massage actually feels pretty good. And if you're indecisive, you can use the seat heating and cooling at the same time. You can choose between one of eight different massage styles. All with three different levels of intensity and up to 30 minutes of duration. There's a 360 surround view camera and an automatic parking feature. It has a three-stage heated steering wheel. It vibrates as a warning. You get paddle shifters on either side, and it has adaptive cruise control. It has real American walnut wood decor, which looks and feels really nice. You also get leather throughout with contrast stitching. Out in front of the driver, you get a head-up display. It has really nice ambient lighting, and you can choose between one of these different themes or choose a custom color. You have auto up and auto down on all four windows. The digital gauge cluster in front of the driver gives you a few different view options. You have a view with lots of data with and without circular gauges. You have a minimalist view that can add gauges and a full-screen map view that can also add gauges. You have enormous spots for bottles in the front doors. Here in the backseat, you get your own climate control, outboard heated seats, and two USB-C ports. And way more legroom than you'd think. I'm 6 ft tall and this is me sitting behind myself. If your hands are full, you can go to the back and just kick and it will open up hands-free. Which is a super handy feature if you're lugging lots of stuff around. Back here, you do have a full-size spare under the floor and you can launch the rear seats forward by pulling this lever. Hope you enjoyed that quick look at the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan.
