Edmunds' Expert Rating With more space and a new third-row seat, the redesigned 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is a significant improvement on its predecessor.

What is the difference between the Tiguan R-Line and SEL? The biggest difference between the Volkswagen Tiguan SE R-Line trim levels is the SEL R-Line offers AWD handling, a higher starting price, and an upgraded audio system.

2018-Present Volkswagen Tiguan (Second Generation) The second generation of the Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with seating for seven, though all-wheel-drive models come standard with seating for five. The second-generation Tiguan is about 10 inches longer than the previous generation and has additional cargo space.

As estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), all 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan models that stick with front-wheel drive can earn up to 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Models that opt for 4MOTION, on the other hand, will trail a bit behind in the city with an EPA-estimated 21 mpg.

The Volkswagen Tiguan has a driving range of over 459 miles on just a single full tank of fuel. The base model gets 23 city MPG and an impressive 30 miles per gallon on the highway which averages to 26 miles per gallon combined.

Fuel economy is very good, and VW rates the Tiguan at 11.3 L/100 km in the city and 8.8 L/100 km on the highway. I achieved an impressive 10.3 L/100 km average during my week.
