Fun fact of the day: The Volkswagen Tiguan gets its name from combining the words “tiger” and “leguan” (German for “iguana”). Considering how this compact SUV easily crawls over tricky terrain and stealthily slithers its way in and out of traffic while having the strength to carry a lot of cargo and passengers, it makes perfect sense!
The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan trim levels are as follows:

| VW Tiguan S |
| VW Tiguan SE |
| VW Tiguan SE R-Line Black |
| VW Tiguan SEL |
| VW Tiguan SEL Premium R-Line |
After getting familiar with all of the Volkswagen Tiguan trim levels, McDonald Volkswagen would like to cordially invite folks in Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, Colorado, to come down and take the car out for a spin.

A 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is the default powertrain for the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. This is the life source of the SUV and is what gets it zipping across roads and over tough terrain.
The engine creates 184 horsepower while churning out 221 lb-ft of torque and runs along offering an EPA-estimated 23 city and 29 highway MPG.1
Each trim also sports the handy Start-Stop System, which assists in fuel efficiency. With this system, the engine stops when the brake pedal is held for a period of time (like at a red light or stopped in traffic). Then, once you take your foot off the brake pedal, the engine starts back up again.


For the safety and protection of vehicle occupants, the VW Tiguan comes standard with protective measures, such as:
Looking for additional safety features? Some of the VW Tiguan trim levels offer extra features to help keep you and your passengers as safe as possible. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control is enabled on the VW Tiguan SE models and above. The system employs radar to keep a set speed and set distance from the car in front.
The Lane Keeping System comes standard on the VW Tiguan SEL and SEL Premium R-Line models. This enables the system’s camera to identify lane markings when the car is above 40 MPH. It will give an audible warning if the car begins to stray from the lane and also countersteer to keep the car in its proper lane.
The VW Tiguan also has a safety feature called High Beam Control (Light Assist), which comes standard on the VW Tiguan SEL Premium R-Line. It automatically switches the high beams on in dark or poorly lit areas.
As you can see, there are a plethora of Volkswagen Tiguan trim levels to pick from, and each offers its own unique package of goodies. Residents of Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, CO, are invited to head to McDonald Volkswagen and check out these models firsthand.
