See what we loved about this car in our full Volkswagen Tiguan Review.
Who This Car is For
- Small families who want great cargo space, but are willing to sacrifice some of it for the option of a 3rd row for occasional extra passengers.
- People with pets. Seriously, the cargo space with the 3rd row down is incredible.
- Anyone who wants a comfortable, reliable SUV on a budget.

What This 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Costs
Each of the following models is also available with an upgrade to include AWD. VW calls this 4Motion and it follows a model name like so: Tiguan SE with 4Motion. This upgrade seems to add about $2,500 to the cost of whichever model you’re looking at.
Starting at just $24,295 the S model is an extremely affordable option that offers a 2.0L turbo engine, and 8-speed transmission, 22-29 MPG, a 6.5″ touch screen infotainment system, automatic headlights, roof rails, and 17″ wheels.
The SE we drove for our 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan review starts at $26,695 and includes leatherette seating, 8″ touch screen, blind-spot monitoring, and brake assist.
Next up is the SEL which offers a digital cockpit, navigation, and adaptive cruise control and retails for about $31,795.
The SEL R-Line and SEL Premiums start at $33,645 and $37,195 respectively. The R-line is an appearance package with unique badging and accents. The Premium comes standard with AWD, LED headlamps, and a Fender premium audio system.
And if one of those packages wasn’t enough, you can go all out with the $38,895 Premium R-line with 4Motion which includes all of the above.
