What to Expect from the 2023 VW Tiguan

And Where to Find One to Test Drive at a Volkswagen Dealership Near Houston

Volkswagen has one of the most diverse offerings of SUVs in the auto industry. For the eco-friendly crowd, they have the award-winning all-electric VW ID.4. For thrifty SUV shoppers, the VW Taos offers the lowest cost of ownership with a starting MSRP of $24,155. And for those drivers who can never get enough storage room or cargo space – the VW Atlas can seat up to seven people and provides up to 96.8 cubic feet of storage.

However, today we’re focusing on one of the best-selling Volkswagen SUVs to fly under the VW banner – the 2023 VW Tiguan. With nearly a decade and a half of history under its proverbial belt, the Tiguan has a track record of hitting all the right notes with both drivers and reviewers alike.

Year-after-year, this Volkswagen SUV manages to strike the right balance in storage, size, style, performance, and price. Let’s dive in a little deeper about what makes the VW Tiguan one of the top choices among SUV shoppers. Afterward, we’ll provide info on where to find a VW Tiguan for sale near you in Houston and how to secure VW financing for an auto loan.

2023 VW Tiguan – Performance and Main Specs

Like its predecessors, the 2023 VW Tiguan retains its mid-size body style and can comfortably seat up to five people. The Tiguan’s interior is exceptionally roomy and offers up to 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space (with back seats folded down), making it perfectly capable of hauling tailgating supplies and tackling even the largest grocery-shopping trips.

Offered in four distinct trim levels, the 2023 VW Tiguan can be outfitted with either a 2.0L Turbo 8-speed automatic engine (FWD drivetrain) or a 2.0L Turbo 8-speed automatic engine with 4MOTION® all-wheel drive. Both configurations yield 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. However, drivers are strongly encouraged to go with a Tiguan that includes 4MOTION® for the best driving experience. Drivers will have the option to select between four different driving modes – including snow and off-road – that give the Tiguan a performance boost when driving on dicey terrain.

It’s also worth noting that engine selection will impact fuel economy. FWD models of the VW Tiguan get an estimated 24 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. All-wheel drive takes those numbers down a notch, yielding an estimated 22 miles per gallon in the city and 29 miles per gallon on the highway.
