Standard and Available Features on the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan S Vs. 2020 Tiguan SE
The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan is an excellent vehicle, and desired by many. This excellence is present straight from the base trim level of the vehicle; it’s been acclaimed for being even more loaded with features than its other crossover SUV rivals.
The 2020 Tiguan is also one of the only machines in its segment to provide three rows of seating on most models. As such, many buyers are interested in the features of the base S trim and how they compare to those of the next level up, the SE.
