Volkswagen Tiguan 2025 Achieves Top Safety Rating: 5 Stars from NHTSA

The new Tiguan sets a benchmark in safety with advanced technologies and enhanced occupant protection.

Volkswagen announced that the 2025 Tiguan has received a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which manages the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). This places the Tiguan alongside other Volkswagen models such as the Atlas 2025, Atlas Cross Sport, ID.4, Jetta, and Jetta GLI, all recognized for their outstanding safety performance.

The NHTSA has provided reliable vehicle safety information to consumers since 1978, helping guide buyers toward safer choices. The 5-star system is easy to understand, with five stars representing the highest possible level of protection.

The SUV now incorporates four additional airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag, rear central, and rear side airbags, bringing the total to ten airbags, with side curtain airbags offering a wider deployment area for enhanced protection. These improvements ensure that all occupants, whether front or rear, benefit from optimal safety coverage, especially in frontal and side collisions.

Advanced Driver Assistance as Standard

Every Tiguan comes equipped with Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE Level 2 system, featuring Travel Assist, Front Assist with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, and adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go functionality. Additional standard safety technologies include active blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assistance, emergency assist, adaptive headlights, parking distance control, and exit warnings. For those seeking extra convenience, Park Assist Plus is available as an option.

Commitment to Safety and Innovation

Volkswagen continues to prioritize safety as a core brand value, ensuring that cutting-edge technologies are accessible across its model range. The 2025 Tiguan demonstrates that modern SUVs can combine comfort, performance, and advanced safety features, making it a leader in its segment.
