2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Trim Level Comparison

What’s the hardest thing about selecting a new vehicle? You might think it’s narrowing down your choices to a single model. Here at Karen Radley Volkswagen, we see people every day who think they know exactly what they want, until they realize it’s not so simple as selecting a model. The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is an obvious choice for many families, but you’ll want to know more about the different trim levels, or grades, available before you sign on the dotted line. This quick trim level comparison of the 2018 VW Tiguan will help you get a full picture of what your options are before you shop. You probably already know the all-new Tiguan now has a longer wheelbase, which means that it now offers optional third-row seating. Keep in mind this seating is a standard for front-wheel drive models, so the 4Motion AWD is a requirement if you prefer to shed the seating in favor of more cargo space. Though, the seats do fold flat, so they aren’t such a bad option to keep.
