In advance of a more thorough update for the 2022 model year, VW makes a few changes to the Tiguan for 2021.

Likewise, the top-spec SEL Premium R-Line model gains a power-adjustable front passenger's seat.

Agile driving behavior,
optional third row of seats,
fuel-efficient powertrain.

Poky acceleration,
firm ride,
dowdy interior design.
