Performance & Capability

Under the hood of this 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan S lies a spirited 2L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This DOHC, variable valve control, intercooled turbo powerhouse delivers 200HP, providing plenty of punch for merging onto the highway or navigating the rolling hills of Chesterfield, MO. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission featuring Tiptronic Sequential shift control, allowing you to take manual command of the gears when the mood strikes or the terrain demands it.

The driving dynamics are further enhanced by the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. This full-time AWD setup ensures that power is distributed effectively to all four wheels, providing enhanced traction and stability during those unpredictable Missouri winters or sudden summer downpours. The mechanical foundation is solid, featuring an independent front suspension with struts and a multi-link rear suspension, both supported by gas-pressurized shock absorbers and anti-roll bars. This configuration ensures a smooth, "Standard ride" quality that absorbs road imperfections while maintaining the precise handling Volkswagen is known for. With speed-sensitive power steering and a lock-up transmission with overdrive, your drive remains efficient and engaging, whether you are cruising at highway speeds or navigating local side streets.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the cabin, the Tiguan S focuses on intuitive technology that keeps you connected without creating a distraction. The center stack features a 5 inch primary display touchscreen, which serves as the hub for your media and vehicle settings. Staying in touch with family or colleagues is effortless thanks to Bluetooth® handsfree wireless device connectivity, allowing you to make calls while keeping your hands securely on the leather steering wheel.

For the music lover, the Radio: AM/FM/CD w/USB & Aux-In system provides multiple ways to enjoy your favorite playlists. You can utilize the 1 USB port for a direct connection or take advantage of Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming to play music directly from your smartphone. The steering wheel mounted audio controls ensure that you can adjust the volume or skip tracks without taking your eyes off the road. Additionally, the analog instrumentation display is clear and easy to read, supplemented by an outside temperature display to keep you informed of the changing conditions outside your climate-controlled sanctuary.

Comfort & Interior

The interior of the Tiguan S is a masterclass in functional luxury, featuring Sandstone Beige V-Tex leatherette front seat upholstery. This material offers the premium look and feel of leather with the added benefit of being highly durable and easy to maintain. On chilly mornings, the Heated Front Bucket Seats provide immediate warmth, while the heated front windshield jets ensure your visibility is never compromised by frost.

The cabin is designed with versatility in mind, featuring 40-20-40 folding rear seats that allow you to customize the cargo and passenger space. Whether you are hauling gear for a weekend project or picking up groceries, the power cargo area access release and rigid cargo cover make loading and securing your items simple. Passengers in the back will appreciate the rear under seat climate control ducts and the rear seat center armrest with trunk pass-thru. Small details, such as the refrigerated/cooled glovebox, leather and metal-look gear shifter, and aluminum and metal-look interior accents, elevate the daily driving experience, making even a short trip feel like a premium journey.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is a cornerstone of the Volkswagen brand, and the 2016 Tiguan S is equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective features. The vehicle is built with fully galvanized steel body panels and side impact beams to provide a rigid protective shell. Inside, a total of 6 airbags are strategically placed, including Side Curtain Protection for both the first and second rows, ensuring all occupants are shielded in the event of a collision.

To help prevent accidents before they occur, the Tiguan is equipped with 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes and an Electronic Stability Control system. The Exterior Parking Camera Rear provides a clear view of what is behind you, making reversing out of tight spots in busy shopping centers much safer. Additional peace of mind comes from the brake pad wear indicator and low level warnings for essential fluids. For those traveling with younger passengers, the manual rear child safety door locks and height adjustable seatbelts provide the necessary security for the whole family.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this Tiguan S is finished in a deep Night Blue Metallic paint that highlights its clean lines and European proportions. The 16-inch Portland Alloy wheels provide a sturdy and stylish foundation, while the chrome grille and body-colored bumpers create a cohesive and upscale appearance. A rear lip spoiler adds a touch of sportiness to the silhouette, and the black side window trim provides a modern, sleek contrast.

Functionality meets style with the inclusion of roof rails, allowing for a maximum roof rack load of 220 lbs—perfect for mounting a bike rack or cargo carrier for your next adventure. The halogen reflector headlights feature auto on/off headlight control, ensuring you always have the right amount of light. For added convenience, the power door mirrors are also heated and feature integrated turn signal indicators, making your intentions clear to other drivers while ensuring your mirrors stay clear of fog and ice.
