Volkswagen Bakersfield - How the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan’s Standard 12-inch Display Elevates Commutes around Bakersfield, CA
The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan makes technology feel effortless, starting with a standard 12" display that anchors the cabin with clean design and intuitive control. Whether you’re juggling a tight morning schedule or relaxing on an evening cruise along Gosford Road, the interface keeps essentials—navigation, media, vehicle settings—within an easy reach and a quick glance. The learning curve is minimal, with crisp graphics and logical menus that pair beautifully with Wireless App-Connect® for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Add in Wireless Charging and VW Wi-Fi Hotspot, and the Tiguan becomes a connected hub that keeps phones powered, passengers streaming, and information flowing. For shoppers who want even more, the available 15" touchscreen delivers a cinematic upgrade, yet the brilliance of the Tiguan is that its standard setup already feels premium. That means you don’t have to climb the trim ladder to enjoy a modern, well-executed digital cockpit on every drive.
Beyond screen size, the Tiguan’s intelligence stands out. Plus Speech with AI expands voice functionality to help with natural-language requests, reducing the need to tap through menus. Standard IQ.DRIVE® provides hands-on, semi-automated capability for added confidence when lane markers are crowded or traffic ebbs and flows near the Westside Parkway. Together, these features create a calmer commute—fewer distractions, better clarity, and a consistent sense of control. The system looks great at night, too, with thoughtful brightness and color tuning that preserves visibility without fatigue. For families, quick profile swaps keep settings organized across drivers, and for professionals, the layout makes on-the-go multitasking feel simple and safe. It’s an interface built for real life in Kern County, refined enough for seasoned tech users and welcoming enough for first-time Volkswagen owners—an approach we appreciate every day.
- Clear at a glance: The standard 12" display prioritizes key info so you spend less time searching and more time focusing on the road.
- Voice-forward control: Plus Speech with AI streamlines tasks—queue music, call contacts, or adjust climate with natural phrases.

Of course, the Tiguan wraps this smart tech in an interior that feels truly elevated. Available diamond-stitched seating surfaces add craftsmanship, while available front-seat ventilation and a 10-point, full-back massage function introduce a level of comfort usually reserved for luxury vehicles. The result is a cabin that eases the stress of daily driving—especially helpful on longer stretches or during peak traffic. Pair that with the Tiguan’s 201-horsepower turbocharged engine, and the power to merge, pass, and cruise at highway speeds comes naturally. Technology isn’t just a feature list here; it’s a purposeful, well-integrated part of how the Tiguan drives, looks, and serves your day-to-day needs.
