2017 Volkswagen Tiguan vs 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan
The year is about to wrap up, and with that it is time to welcome in 2017 and what it has to offer. For automakers, this is the time to introduce the world to the latest versions of its vehicles. Volkswagen has recently released the brand new Tiguan. The Tiguan is a popular option for drivers in the market for a versatile SUV, and if you are considering a new Tiguan, you may be curious about how the latest model differs from the year before. Let’s look at the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan vs the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan.
Differences between the 2017 Tiguan and the 2016 Tiguan
If you were looking for something wildly different from 2016, you won’t find it quite yet. This year the Tiguan is receiving just a few updates rather than a complete redesign. That said, there are a few notable differences to the Tiguan this year. Volkswagen has added two trims, the Wolfsburg and the Sport. The Wolfsburg trim adds a few amenities not found in the base trim, such as a power tilting/sliding sunroof. The Sport trim is equipped with a sport suspension to allow for a more aggressive riding experience. The base S trim now offers a 6.3-inch display screen with an infotainment system that includes VW Car-Net App-Connect. With the addition of these two trims comes the erasure of two Tiguan trims that were available last year, the R-Line and SE trims.
