The second and third rows feature a 40/20/40 and 50/50 arrangement respectively and can be folded down to maximize space. Both back rows provide seven inches of adjustable movement; allowing for plenty of legroom.
The Tiguan offers its drivers a luxurious and spacious travel experience. The front row of seats were envisioned with the distance traveler in mind, with options for memory cushions and ample comfort for both driver and passenger. Also available is an advanced cockpit display. Each model has a contemporary design equipped with LED daytime running lights. The SEL Model offers intricate options for lighting, including puddle lights for its folding rear view mirrors, interior ambient lighting, and adaptive front lights.
