Volkswagen Introduces The New 2023 Tiguan
The new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan receives some needed updates, including a few new color choices and a brand new design for the SE R-Line vehicles wheels. A similar vehicle to the Tiguan is the VW Taos, but it’s a bit smaller in size and less expensive. The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan has four trim levels: S, SE, SE R-Line, and the SEL R-Line. The most popular trim level for the 2022 Tiguan is the R-Line, which is expected to be the same for the 2023 model.
Inside this compact crossover SUV is a third row of seats for front-wheel-drive vehicles. The starting price for the 2023 Tiguan is $26,950 (plus destination fee). For the car’s exterior look, the design is similar to its forerunners, including the thin grille that integrates into the headlamps. The R-Line car models have a sportier look, such as the fender, LED headlights, and a lit-up grille.
The interior of the SUV is very stylish, with leather seats, seat stitching, and a digital instrument panel. There is also an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and multiple USB-C outlets. There is an 8.0-inch display screen for the instrument cluster on the lower-end models, but on the higher-end models, the digital instrument cluster is 10.3 inches. Every Tiguan model comes with heated front seats, but only the power adjustment for the driver seats starts at the SE trim.
Another cool feature is that the ride for the Tiguan is very smooth and comfortable, with lots of room for passengers and storage. For the all-wheel drive, the second row has 38.7 inches of legroom and has large back doors for easy in and out access. The cargo space is around 38 cubic feet and expands to 73.4 cubic feet when the second row is folded down. The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan has a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine, 184 horsepower, 221 pound-feet of torque, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
What makes the Tiguan a fan favorite is the smoothness when driving, and that is because of the 17 and 18-inch wheels on the S and SE trims. Front-wheel-drive models get 23 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway.

Another Similar Model: 2023 Taos
The 2023 Volkswagen Taos may not be as well known as some other SUVs in Volkswagen’s arsenal, but it’s still a sensible alternative. The Taos has good fuel economy, generous cargo space, and a comfortable SUV to ride in. The cost of this vehicle starts at $24,155 for the S trim. This SUV also comes with either a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive system–a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine powers all the trims. The engine gets up to 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This VW SUV gets around 28 city/36 highway mpg of gas mileage.
In terms of the car’s interior, the Taos is quite spacious compared to some of its rivals. The Taos can seat up to five passengers without feeling claustrophobic and squished. There is also plenty of space for storage in the back of the car. Every Taos comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen and an 8-inch instrument cluster with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
