The Refreshed Volkswagen Tiguan can be found in four different trim forms, the S, SE, SE R-Line Black and SEL R-Line. Most of the trims come with the front-wheel-drive system and have the option to have 4MOTION; Volkswagen's All-wheel-drive, except for the SEL R-Line which comes standard with 4MOTION only.
All trims come with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that produces 17-horsepower more than the previous model year, bringing it to 201-horsepower. The 4MOTION powertrain has 221-pound feet of torque compared to the Front-wheel drive which produces 207-pound feet.

Braking is done by vented front and solid rear disk brakes with ABS, and they also feature Hydraulic brake assist. The Tiguan is also nimbler now, with four-wheel independent suspension and electro-mechanical power steering. Some of these suspension components are now made from
aluminum which reduces the overall weight of the vehicle.
