Bob Penkhus Volkswagen - Does the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Have a Third Row for Colorado Springs, CO Families?
Shoppers around Colorado Springs, CO are taking a close look at the redesigned 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan, and for good reason. With a refined cabin, confident turbocharged performance, and everyday tech that simply works, this compact SUV fits life along the Front Range. One question comes up often for growing households and active lifestyles—does the 2025 Tiguan have a third row? Our team at Bob Penkhus Volkswagen is here to give a clear, complete answer and help you decide whether the new Tiguan matches how you travel, commute, and adventure.
The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan in the U.S. is a two-row, five-passenger SUV. Volkswagen focused the latest generation on generous second-row comfort, expanded cargo flexibility, and modern technology. If a true three-row layout is a must for your family, our team will help you compare the Volkswagen Atlas, which provides three spacious rows. For many Colorado Springs drivers, however, the Tiguan’s smart packaging—paired with available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive and standard IQ.DRIVE®—delivers the right blend of space, confidence, and efficiency.
Here is how the two-row design benefits daily driving in and around Colorado Springs, from school drop-off near Broadmoor to weekend hikes near Ute Valley Park.
- Rear-seat flexibility: A 40/20/40-split second row makes room for skis, strollers, or camping gear while still seating passengers comfortably.
- Child-seat friendly: Outboard LATCH points and wide door openings help with easy installation and everyday buckling.
- Cargo made simple: A low load floor and wide liftgate opening make hauling coolers, hiking packs, and home-store hauls straightforward.
- Drive-anywhere confidence: Available 4MOTION® helps on snowy commutes to Fort Carson and gravel pull-offs near Garden of the Gods.
- Standard driver assist: IQ.DRIVE® brings hands-on, semi-automated capability to support long I-25 drives and city traffic.
- Big-screen smarts: A standard 12-inch display and available 15-inch touchscreen keep navigation, media, and settings easy to see at a glance.
- Everyday peace of mind: 10 airbags come standard, and an included 5-year Car-Net® Safe & Secure plan adds connected reassurance.
- Stronger performance: A 201-horsepower turbocharged engine brings smooth, confident acceleration up to Monument or over to Woodland Park.
With those fundamentals covered, the new Tiguan also elevates your daily routine. The available 15-inch display transforms the cabin with crisp, intuitive controls, while Wireless App-Connect keeps your favorite apps within reach. Plus Speech with AI can help you find a coffee stop or nearby trailhead using natural voice prompts—great when plans change mid-ride. Inside, available seating upgrades, including diamond-stitched surfaces and even available massage functionality for the front seats, bring unexpected luxury to a compact SUV.
If you occasionally need more than five seats, our team will help you match the right Volkswagen to your needs. The Atlas offers three genuine rows for carpool duty and road-trip flexibility, while the Tiguan focuses on five-passenger comfort and everyday cargo ease. Unsure which approach suits your household best? Visit our showroom in Motor City—our product specialists can guide you through a real-world seat test, help you try a child-seat install, and configure cargo scenarios that mirror your weekly routine.
Safety and driver assistance come standard with IQ.DRIVE®, which supports your awareness with features designed to help watch the road, assist with lane guidance, and provide hands-on, semi-automated capability on well-marked highways. Paired with available 4MOTION®, the Tiguan feels composed when the forecast turns or when mountain weather shifts without warning. Add in the myVW app and Car-Net® connected features, and you have the tools to check vehicle status, locate your last parked spot downtown, and remotely lock or unlock with confidence.
In short, the 2025 Tiguan is purpose-built for Colorado Springs life—school runs, mountain mornings, and everything in between. The only question is how you plan to use it. Our team at Bob Penkhus Volkswagen will tailor a test drive to your needs and help you explore accessories for cargo, pets, and weekend gear so your Tiguan is ready on day one.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the 2025 Tiguan seat seven passengers?

The second row is designed with families in mind. Outboard LATCH anchors, wide door openings, and a 40/20/40-split configuration help with installation and daily use. We encourage a test fit at our showroom so our team can help you try your specific child seats and confirm an ideal setup.
Is 4MOTION® worth it for Colorado Springs driving?
Available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive is a smart choice for variable Front Range conditions. It enhances traction on snowy mornings, wet roads, and dirt turnouts, and pairs well with the Tiguan’s balanced chassis for year-round confidence.
