The latest generation also comes with Dynamic Chassis Control Pro, Volkswagen’s adaptive suspension, which allows you to adjust the damping of the car to change its characteristics from comfort to sport. 

Inside, the new Tiguan comes with a large, 15-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 10.25-inch virtual instrument cluster, two wireless chargers, a head-up display, massaging seats but with manual adjustment, 30-colour ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and more.
