Revisions to Volkswagen’s SUV lineup this year may not be as sweeping as what’s going on with its cars, but every model sees some update. The brand’s small crossovers are the primary focus for 2025, each receiving a significant revamp. Bigger models also land some appreciated improvements. Keep reading to find out what’s new for 2025 Volkswagen SUVs.
2025 Volkswagen Taos
Volkswagen delivers powertrain updates this year that aim to remedy some of the AWD model’s lack of refinement. Instead of the previous seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, those models now come with an eight-speed automatic transmission like the FWD variants. Engineers also extract a bit more power from the Taos’ 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, now making 174 hp, up from last year’s 158 hp.
As this is a midcycle refresh for the subcompact SUV, the 2025 Taos scores minor exterior styling updates, including a revised grille and illuminated badges. New wheel designs in 17-, 18-, and 19-inch sizes and fresh exterior hues of blue, green, and gray are also available. The Taos’ updated cabin features a reworked dash, and every trim now comes with a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen.

2025 Volkswagen Tiguan
Although we were hoping for a hybrid variant to debut with the redesigned Tiguan, the latest model still features some promising upgrades. The small Volkswagen SUV looks sharp in its new sheet metal and sleek lighting elements. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine pumps out 17 additional horsepower this year, which could make the SUV quicker, especially considering its 170-pound weight reduction due to the use of aluminum in the suspension and high-strength hot-formed steel for the body structure.
Depending on trim, drivers can enjoy a new 12.9-inch or 15.0-inch touchscreen, upgrades from the 6.5-inch and 8.0-inch screens previously available on the Tiguan. Walnut accents jazz up the cabin, and the gear shifter has moved to the steering column, freeing up space in the center console. VW no longer offers a three-row configuration of its bestselling SUV.

2025 Volkswagen Atlas
Volkswagen’s spacious three-row SUV received a significant update last year, so changes are understandably less plentiful for 2025. Every trim level of the Atlas receives standard automatic high beams and a wireless phone charger, while the SEL Premium R-Line top model gains updated seat upholstery and massaging front seats with four-way lumbar support. The Peak Edition SEL has been discontinued, but its Avocado Green and Pure Grey exterior paint colors are newly available for other models, as is Mountain Lake Blue.

2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
As with the Atlas, Volkswagen refreshed the Atlas Cross Sport range for 2024, meaning this year’s follow-up is light on changes. The midsize Volkswagen SUV also gains a wireless phone charger and automatic high beams on all trim levels, as well as massaging front seats in the SEL Premium R-Line. Mountain Lake Blue and Avocado Green paint colors are new, and VW adds a SEL R-Line Black trim, which comes with black exterior accents.

2025 Volkswagen ID4
Every trim level of the ID4 electric SUV now comes with an almost-inch-larger 12.9-inch touchscreen, which models with the bigger battery got for 2024. This year also ushers in an available Black package for S and S Plus variants, which includes black side mirror caps, door handles, exterior branding, and 20-inch wheels. The S Plus grade picks up an auto-dimming side mirror on the driver’s side only.
