CardinaleWay Volkswagen Corona - Is IQ.DRIVE® Standard on the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan for Daily Driving in Corona, CA?
Shoppers across Corona, CA ask one central question about the redesigned 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan: Is IQ.DRIVE® standard and how does it actually help on our everyday roads? At CardinaleWay Volkswagen Corona, we are glad to share that the answer is yes—IQ.DRIVE® is standard across the 2025 Tiguan lineup. Just as important, this advanced suite brings hands-on, semi-automated capability that supports confidence on the 91 and I-15, in busy Dos Lagos parking lots, and everywhere your routine leads. While your focus stays on the drive, IQ.DRIVE® is designed to help with sensing, warning, and assisting—another reason the 2025 Tiguan feels smarter, sleeker, and more stylish than ever.
The 2025 Tiguan pairs this standard safety and driver assistance with a 201-horsepower turbocharged engine, a standard 12" display, and the kind of thoughtful interior upgrades that make daily life easier. You will also find that 10 airbags come standard—now including front center, rear sides, and driver’s knee—and a 5-year Car-Net® Safe and Secure plan is included for additional peace of mind. Below, our team explains what IQ.DRIVE® includes, how it behaves in the real world, and how you can experience its benefits during a test drive in Corona.
IQ.DRIVE® bundles several Driver Assistance technologies designed to look out for you and your passengers. Here is a concise view of the core features, with quick notes on when you will notice each system at work.
- Travel Assist: Hands-on, semi-automated driving assistance that helps with steering and distance-keeping on well-marked roads when certain conditions are met.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (with Stop & Go): Helps maintain a set gap to traffic ahead and can assist with stop-and-go flow on congested freeways.
- Lane Assist: Provides steering support to help keep the Tiguan centered in its lane when lane markings are detected.
- Front Assist: Helps detect potential frontal collisions and can provide automatic braking support, including Pedestrian and Cyclist Monitoring within system limits.
- Blind Spot Monitoring: Can help alert you to vehicles in your blind spot to support safer lane changes.
- Rear Traffic Alert: Can warn of cross traffic when reversing out of driveways, garages, and parking spaces.
On Corona’s daily routes, the benefits are immediate. Travel Assist can help your commute feel more composed, Adaptive Cruise Control can ease fatigue during freeway slogs, and Rear Traffic Alert is especially helpful when backing out from tight curbside spots in historic downtown. Combined with Tiguan’s poised chassis and available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, IQ.DRIVE® complements control you can feel from the driver’s seat.
To get a true sense of IQ.DRIVE®, we recommend a structured test drive. Use the simple checklist below to experience each feature in everyday conditions around our location.
- Start with the basics: From the standard 12" display, review the Driver Assistance menu and confirm your preferred alerts and settings with guidance from our team.
- Demo lane support: On a clearly marked road, engage Lane Assist to feel the subtle steering support that helps keep the vehicle centered.
- Try Travel Assist: On the freeway, activate Travel Assist where appropriate to experience hands-on, semi-automated assistance as it helps maintain lane position and following distance.
- Experience Stop & Go: In slower traffic, let Adaptive Cruise Control help manage speed and spacing as traffic ebbs and flows.
- Practice safe reversing: In a controlled setting, back out of a space to see how Rear Traffic Alert can warn you of approaching vehicles or pedestrians.
Because the 2025 Tiguan integrates its technology thoughtfully, you will find it easy to live with. Wireless App-Connect makes it simple to bring in select apps, the available VW Wi-Fi Hotspot helps passengers stay connected on the go, and wireless charging keeps compatible devices powered up. Plus Speech with AI brings next-level voice control capability when equipped, so you can keep your eyes on the road while adjusting key functions. It all adds up to a cabin experience that is modern yet intuitive—exactly what in-market shoppers expect from a compact family SUV.
Safety extends beyond driver assistance. With 10 standard airbags—including front center, rear sides, and driver’s knee—the Tiguan was engineered with a cushion of protection. The included 5-year Car-Net® Safe and Secure plan brings added confidence with connected features when activated through the myVW app, which can also simplify service reminders and scheduling. From design to engineering to digital services, every detail serves the mission: help protect what you love and make every drive feel easier.
