2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Safety Features
The exceptional 2025 facelift did much for the Volkswagen midsize SUV, but the new and improved VW Tiguan safety features may be the highlights. The upgraded interior technology across the trims of this family-friendly SUV has enabled the IQ.DRIVE suite of features to be more accessible and easy to use. Paired with a more responsive engine and a chassis with extra airbags, you can trust the VW Tiguan safety features to maintain your safety and drive comfort across every mile.
We at DARCARS Volkswagen are so excited to showcase how the 2025 VW Tiguan raises the bar on pristine safety functionality.
2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Safety VW Rating at a Glance

IQ.DRIVE: Volkswagen Tiguan Safety Features Upgraded & Refined
Drivers familiar with any member of our used VW Tiguan lineup will be familiar with the IQ.DRIVE name. Before this year, IQ.DRIVE was limited to specific trim levels of the midsize SUV. However, for the 2025 model year, owners of any Tiguan model will now have access to the following excellent, high-grade sensors and semi-autonomous driving assistance features.1
- Travel Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Active Blind Spot Monitor
- Rear Traffic Alert
- Front Assist
- Emergency Assist
- Lane Assist
That's right, the new VW Tiguan has access to the innovative Adaptive Cruise Control and Travel Assist features by default, keeping you a safe distance away from other drivers on the road, even on the base S trim.
Other Standard Tiguan Safety Features
The VW Tiguan safety features go beyond the IQ.DRIVE sensor functionalities to protect you at every level of design. Included with all Tiguan lease deals are the following crash prevention systems:

These additional features cover more than just sensor technology. Engine-focused functionality like Anti-Slip Regulation and Electronic Stability Control keeps your ride smooth and comfortable, even during rainy days or when encountering uneven terrain.
Four additional airbags, introduced in the 2025 model year, mean that there are now 10 VW Tiguan airbags available in the interior, all carefully positioned to protect the legs, heads, and the sides of the driver and passenger. After impact, these safety functions are consistently checked and repaired by making an appointment at our VW collision center.
Available Volkswagen Tiguan Safety

I just bought a Volkswagen Tiguan from Yachir, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He was super friendly and made everything easy from start to finish. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for and walked me through all the features of the car. The Tiguan itself is amazing—smooth drive, and super comfortable. Overall, Yachir made the whole process stress-free, and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great car and top-notch service!
