2025 Volkswagen Tiguan Earns 5-Star Safety Rating from NHTSA

Safety has long been at the heart of Volkswagen’s engineering philosophy, and the newest Tiguan is no exception. Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced that the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan has earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) — the highest possible score awarded under the agency’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).

With this recognition, the Tiguan joins the growing list of 2025 Volkswagen models achieving top marks for safety, including the Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, ID.4, Jetta, and Jetta GLI.

A Legacy of Safety and Innovation

Since 1978, NHTSA’s 5-Star Safety Ratings have guided consumers toward vehicles that provide outstanding protection in crashes and collisions. The 2025 Tiguan’s performance across NHTSA’s rigorous testing underscores Volkswagen’s commitment to developing vehicles that safeguard both drivers and passengers.

Built on the foundation of Volkswagen’s advanced safety engineering, the all-new third-generation Tiguan introduces four new airbags — including driver knee, center, and dual rear side airbags — bringing the total count to ten airbags. Enhanced side curtain airbags now feature a larger deployment zone for improved occupant coverage in side impacts.
