Volkswagen Tiguan Cargo Space Measurements

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan offers a lot of cargo space for its compact size. Models with the third row of seats will have less cargo room when the seats are in use, but they can be folded out of the way, along with the rear passenger seats. Tiguans with the third row of seats offers 12 cubic feet of cargo space, 33 cubic feet behind the second row when seats are upright, and 65.7 cubic feet when the second and third rows are folded down. Models with the two rows of seats generate 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear row of seats and 73.5 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.

If ample Tiguan cargo space is needed, the two-row version offers more volume and capacity than the three-row version. The third row of seats is removable but adds extra work when configuring the car for additional cargo capacity.

Volkswagen Tiguan Trim Levels & Differences

The Tiguan comes in five trim levels and nine configurations for a buyer to choose from. The base trim package, known as the S, is nicely appointed and comes with standard features that were once found in more expensive models. Each trim level improves upon the interior specifications of the previous level. Apart from the SEL Premium R-Line, all trim packages have two drivetrain options in the form of front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive 4MOTION. The drivetrain options do not affect each trim package’s overall appearance and details. Volkswagen Tiguan trim packages include:

• S
• SE
• SE R-Line Black
• SEL
• SEL Premium R-Line

The S trim package has five exterior color options, while the SE and SEL have seven. The SE R-Line Black features four black, gray, or white colors. The SEL Premium R-Line has six exterior colors. The available exterior colors of the Volkswagen Tiguan affect the vehicle’s interior color.

2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Technology Features

The standard infotainment system in the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is nicely equipped with features that let you connect your phone to your car. It features a 6.5-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a USB port, a Wi-Fi hot spot, six speakers, and Bluetooth connectivity. Controls mounted on the steering wheel make it easy for the driver to control the radio without taking their eyes off the road.

The infotainment system also includes SiriusXM and AM/FM/HD radio options. A radio data system displays the current information being transmitted by the radio station. Two other convenient features include voice-activated radio control and speed-sensitive volume. Music lovers who opt for the SEL Premium trim level get to enjoy a 480-watt nine-speaker audio system by Fender.

The top two trim levels on the VW Tiguan feature the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit technology package, an innovative display system that replaces the traditional driver’s instrument panel and gauges. Instead of manual or LED displays showing information about the car, the 12.3-inch digital display can be customized to reveal whatever information the driver wants at any given time. One display option is real-time navigation that takes advantage of the horizontal layout of the display. Instead of looking at the center console, the driver can monitor the map directly in front of them. Vital information about the car, such as fuel, temperature, speed, and time, is displayed on the map’s edges.
