Cardinale Volkswagen Salinas - IQ.DRIVE® Confidence and Big-Screen Clarity in the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan - Castroville, CA
Between coastal commutes and weekend routes through farm country, drivers around Castroville, CA need an SUV that balances smart safety with effortless tech. The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan raises the bar on both fronts. Standard IQ.DRIVE® brings hands-on, semi-automated capability designed to help with steering, accelerating, and braking in certain situations, easing the load in highway congestion and busy in-town traffic. That intelligent core is matched by a thoughtfully upgraded cabin anchored by a standard 12-inch display—plus an available 15-inch touchscreen—to keep navigation, media, and settings organized at a glance. The result is a compact family SUV that feels intentionally built for this region’s mix of open road and small-town streets.
IQ.DRIVE® works seamlessly in the background, complementing your focus rather than competing for it. On Highway 1, it can help take the edge off longer stretches by providing support that encourages confidence and calm. Back in town, features that assist with lane centering or maintaining distance can be particularly helpful in stop-and-go traffic near schools and shops. This capability, combined with the Tiguan’s 201-horsepower turbocharged engine, means every trip strikes a better balance between agility and assurance. When paired with optional 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, the Tiguan adds traction and confidence across varied terrain and weather—ideal if your weekend plans include scenic detours, trailheads, or a rainy day run down the coast.
