Before Volkswagen introduces the all-new 2025 VW Tiguan model family, buyers attracted to the 2024 Tiguan can buy a special value-packed version. The 2024 VW Tiguan Wolfsburg Edition will be based on the Tiguan SE trim in four colors with either front-wheel drive or 4Motion all-wheel drive. Volkswagen did not release any photos of the 2024 Tiguan Wolfsburg Edition, so the images accompanying this article show the 2024 Tiguan SE and other trims.

Why celebrate an out-going generation?

Automakers frequently offer final editions of models about to be discontinued. Perhaps buyers think they’ll have the chance to buy a car that will gain value in time, especially for high-level luxury and performance cars. For example, in the last six months, Jaguar Land Rover marketed the “last-gas Jags.” Stellantis had a series of Last Call special editions for its most powerful models, such as the Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

VW isn’t discontinuing the Tiguan. The all-new 2025 Tiguan is one of several next-gen VW models that will integrate ChatGPT with VW’s IDA digital assistant. VW has a history of highly successful relaunches of popular earlier models such as the New Beetle. The original Beetle sold in the U.S. from 1950 to 1979, and the New Beetle from 1998 to 2019. When VW finally starts selling the I.D. Buzz, an all-electric remake of the generation-defining VW bus, and we’ll see if the strategy works again.

There is also the possibility that VW saw sales slowing down for the 2024 Tiguan as buyers waited for the 2025 model. In that case, perhaps VW decided to so something special with the remaining parts inventories to make room for the new release without having to send the 2024 parts and components to heavy discounters or scrap yards.

What the 2024 Tiguan Edition includes

All Wolfsburg 2024 Tiguans will have black leatherette upholstery with orange stitching, illuminated scuff plates, and 30-color LED ambient lighting. Otherwise, the equipment, electronics, and comfort and convenience features will be identical to those of the Tiguan SE. The 2024 VW Tiguan Wolfsburg Edition will start at $30,995 with front-wheel drive and $32,495 with 4Motion all-wheel drive.

McLaren takes the 2024 F1 Championship as Norris wins the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
McLaren F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

The F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix saw cars crashing into each other in the first turn of the first lap. Two drivers made incredible advances from the back of the starting grid. When the checkered flag waved, McLaren driver Lando Norris won the race, with Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc finishing second and third, respectively.

Despite both drivers finishing on the winner's podium, Ferrari could not catch up with McLaren in the season's championship points total.  The 2024 season comes to a close, with McLaren taking on the Constructors' Championship title for the first time since 1998.

The Grand Prix got off to a thrilling start when, on the first turn, Red Bull's Max Verstappen appeared to catch McLaren driver Oscar Piastri's left rear wheel, spinning Piastri off the track. Verstappen, penalized later for the collision with a 10-second wait at his pit stop, spun around on the track but could continue.

F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024 preview: The last race decides the Championship
Red Bull is out of the running for the top spot, but McLaren and Ferrari both have a chance.
Yas Marina Circuit for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024.

The 2024 F1 racing season ends with the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 6 to 8. Red Bull's Max Verstappen locked in the Drivers' Championship during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but the Constructors' Championship remains undecided as Ferrari still has a chance to outscore McLaren to win the biggest team prize of the season.
The challenges of the Yas Marina Circuit
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is run on the Yas Marina Circuit. It consists of 58 laps of the 3.28-mile track, or 190.14 miles. Max Verstappen set the lap record in 2021 at 1:26.103 (minutes: seconds). Verstappen won the race in 2023 when Ferrari's Charles Leclerc came in second, and Mercedes driver George Russell was third.

The track has sixteen turns, with two DRS zones allowing overtaking. The current weather forecast is for highs in the 80s. The track temperatures will be higher, which could make staying cool a challenge during the race.
The Constructors' Championship is at stake
McLaren currently has 640 Constructors' Championship points. There is a potential for any team to win a total of 44 points (during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, so Ferrari's current 619-point total puts the team in reach of the prize. Red Bull cannot win the Championship, although they could place second if Verstappen and Sergio Perez finish in the top three and Ferrari doesn't gain more than four points - neither of which outcome is likely. The McLaren and Ferrari race cars have been exceptionally fast recently, and both drivers have delivered, so it's possible that either team could win.
