Used 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is a two- or three-row SUV that comes in six trim levels: S, SE, SEL, SEL R-Line, SEL Premium and SEL Premium R-Line. All Tiguans are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque) that's connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Three rows of seating come standard with front-wheel-drive models, and two rows are standard on all-wheel-drive models, with a third row available as an option.
Which Tiguan trim does Edmunds recommend?
Consider getting the SE to maximize your dollar. It's just one step up from the base S, but you get plenty of features including forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, keyless entry, an upgraded 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a power-adjustable driver's seat.
