2024 VW Tiguan has arrived

In 2007, Volkswagen presented the first generation of a new crossover that took its place between the T-Roc and the larger Touareg, the VW Tiguan. Since then, 16 years and two generations have passed with 7.6 million copies of this model sold, and now the third generation VW Tiguan has arrived on the market.

At the front, there are stylish headlights integrated into a black panel over the hood, LED technology with a full-width light strip, and a new front bumper with a black grille for an aggressive look. The rear part has undergone the most changes compared to the previous generation. A large rear spoiler and a full-width light strip across the tailgate are standard. The R-Line model has a rear bumper with a sporty look.

The interior of the previous models was classic and somewhat conservative in design, but now that has also changed. In the middle of the dashboard is a completely new 12.9-inch touch screen, i.e. a larger 15-inch diagonal available as an option. It’s a big step up from the current car, which has a 9-inch screen. The user interface has been modernized to make it easier to use. Climate control is still managed via on-screen controls, but the menu is now at the bottom for easier access. On the central console there is a round button for adjusting the volume, changing the driving mode and changing the ambient lighting.

When it comes to the powertrain, the VW Tiguan will be offered with mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, gasoline and diesel engines. At the bottom of the range will be a 1.5-L mHEV engine with 130 hp (96 kW) or 150 hp (110 kW). There are 2.0-L TSI petrol engines with 204 hp (150 kW) and 265 hp (195 kW). Both will have all-wheel drive. The third option is a 2.0-L TDI engine with 150 hp (110 kW), with front-wheel drive, and 193 hp (142 kW) with all-wheel drive.

The plug-in hybrid option will be available in two versions with a 1.5-L gasoline engine combined with an electric motor with a total output of 204 hp (150 kW) or 272 hp (200 kW). Both versions will have a range of up to 100 km. The all-electric Tiguan is not offered.
