2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Towing Capacity

Whether you need to tow a small boat to hit the seas or bikes to cruise around town, the VW Tiguan has a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.

The power inside the VW Tiguan is what fuels this capacity, with a standard 2.0L TSI® I-4 turbocharged engine that provides 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.

With its turbocharged engine, the VW Tiguan takes the driving experience to the next level. Though an SUV, the performance makes the VW Tiguan feel agile and a joy to maneuver.

When you’re towing, it’s imperative to have control over your vehicle. That’s why with the standard 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® you can shift manually and take precise control of your VW Tiguan.

Take Control of Traction With 4MOTION®

Having proper traction is a necessary part of a safe towing experience. No matter the weather or terrain, the VW Tiguan has your back with an available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system.

This system distributes power between the front and rear wheels, which helps maximize and optimize traction and stability. Whether you are cruising during a notorious Florida thunderstorm or want to go off-road, 4MOTION® can handle it without breaking a sweat.

Additionally, you also have available 4MOTION® with Active Control, which allows you to switch between four different all-wheel-drive modes. These are:

  • Snow Mode
  • On-Road Mode
  • Off-Road Mode
  • Off-Road Custom Mode

If you travel frequently and need to tow your gear north, having these drive modes can help you cruise with confidence no matter the climate. Also, if you want to explore off the beaten path, having two off-road modes makes the drive smooth.

Overall, 4MOTION® all-wheel drive makes it easy to tow off-road, and the VW Tiguan is a powerful midsize SUV ready to go on a road trip.
