Tom's Volkswagen of Union - Why Maplewood, NJ drivers are choosing the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan for cabin tech and confidence
For many shoppers, the deciding factor in a compact SUV is not just space or style - it is how seamlessly the vehicle supports daily life. That is where the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan shines for Maplewood, NJ drivers. Volkswagen’s latest infotainment and driver-assistance suite work together to simplify routines, heighten awareness, and make every trip more relaxing. The standard 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen is crisp and quick to respond, while the available larger display runs the latest Digital Cockpit Pro software for a smooth, cohesive interface across navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Wireless device charging and thoughtfully placed storage make it easy to keep your essentials organized.
Just as important, the Tiguan’s standard safety and assistance features deliver the kind of everyday reassurance busy roads demand. Forward-collision alert with automatic braking, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature help reduce fatigue and support steady, calm driving. Add in a newly expanded airbag count - now including driver knee, center, and rear side airbags - and the Tiguan’s protective intent is clear. From rain-slick commutes to tight parking lots and busy school pick-ups, this is a compact SUV engineered to keep life moving without drama.

- Intuitive controls: A smartly arranged cabin with a column-mounted shifter frees up console space and simplifies daily use.

Families and professionals alike also appreciate how the Tiguan’s two-row layout maximizes cargo space while keeping the second row roomy and flexible. The 60/40 split makes it easy to carry long items while still accommodating passengers, and the low cargo floor helps when loading bulky gear. If you are moving between meetings, errands, and weekend adventures, that flexibility pays off every single day.
Tom's Volkswagen of Union makes it easy to see how these features come together on the road. A tailored test drive can highlight the balance between the Tiguan’s smoother, lighter-feeling chassis and its upgraded technology, so you can evaluate comfort, visibility, and the responsiveness of its infotainment and assistance features in one visit.
