The VW Tiguan MPG Over the Years

When the second generation of VW Tiguan SUVs for sale in Kennesaw, GA, was first released in 2016, it offered an EPA-estimated 21/26/23 MPG (city/highway/combined).¹ Since then, the fuel efficiency of a Volkswagen Tiguan has remained mostly consistent.

However, the new 2022 Tiguan S, with its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivers an EPA-estimated 23/30/26 MPG (city/highway/combined)¹ when you opt for FWD. You can also expect the Volkswagen Tiguan fuel efficiency estimates to be similar for the 2023 model year. Of course, your specific Volkswagen Tiguan MPG results will vary based on your driving habits, weather conditions near Atlanta, GA, and more. For example, you will experience better results if you get to drive on a smooth stretch of road in good weather than if you often face stop-and-go conditions or need to brake often to combat sliding.

Frequently Asked Questions About the VW Tiguan MPG

What type of gas does the new Tiguan require?

While there is no specific Volkswagen Tiguan gas type, the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan runs beautifully on regular unleaded gasoline. Since you don't need to pay more for premium gas, the VW Tiguan helps you save with every trip to the pump.

How many miles can you drive on a full tank of gas in a VW Tiguan?

Your mileage range will depend on many factors. Those factors include:

• Whether you drive mostly on city streets or highways
• If you drive in traffic often
• If you drive in a hilly area that requires acceleration more often than other places
• What the weather is like: colder areas mean that your car takes longer to warm up, and temperature can affect fuel efficiency
• If you use your car for towing

However, since the Volkswagen Tiguan gas tank size is 15.3 gallons, you can travel close to four hundred miles on the open highway before you need to stop and fill up.

Do AWD or FWD vehicles earn higher MPG ratings?

Generally, FWD vehicles get better fuel-economy ratings than AWD vehicles. Typically, this is because front-wheel-drive models have a lower drivetrain weight. Lighter-weight vehicles, in general, will have better MPG ratings. The good news is that the difference is very minimal should you choose an all-wheel-drive model. According to estimations, all-wheel-drive Volkswagen Tiguan SUVs get only two MPG less than the front-wheel-drive models. This means that, if you prefer an AWD drivetrain, you don't need to worry about it affecting the Tiguan MPG too drastically. Keep in mind that FWD is standard on all Volkswagen Tiguan vehicles.
