2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Review

Mules from testing have been seen out and around in Germany and wearing the less noticeable body of the current car. But, spy photos show that the front of the car is modified to block off the top part of the grille. Meanwhile, the bottom of the grille has been expanded to provide adequate cooling, similar to that of the electronic Volkswagen ID.3. When it comes to VW’s electric model the launch of a brand new model leads to questions about an electric version. But the odds of having a Tiguan electric vehicle are low because the family SUV is quite close to VW’s ID.4 The German brand is likely to stay clear of stepping into the mud of this vital model for the range, as it is being overshadowed by the more affordable and mechanically similar Skoda Enyaq.

Engine

The brand new Tiguan will instead rest on the existing Mk.8 Golf’s MQB Evo base, which means that it’s likely to share several of the same engines as well. The starting 109bhp 1.0-liter petrol will likely be considered to be too weak for the SUV’s size as will the more powerful with 148bhp 1.5-litre gasoline four-cylinder turbocharged scheduled to be the first model to go on sale. It could be offered with mild-hybrid technology.

The fans of performance SUVs need not be deterred that there’s a chance of an aggressive Tiguan R variant; this is likely to use the powerful 316bhp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine from the current Golf R. In terms of diesel engines, The Tiguan may also have 148bhp and the 208bhp 2.0-liter engines that are available from Golf. But, because of the decreasing popularity of diesel, it’s possible that the model could only be available in petrol. The company car drivers or those who want to increase their fuel efficiency might be better off opting for one of forthcoming Tiguan’s plug-in hybrid engines. There are a variety of alternatives available, however, it is expected to be this 242bhp 1.5-liter unit of the Golf will be available. On the Golf, the battery, which is 13 kWh, offers up to 37 miles of pure electric range, however it is likely to be less on the Tiguan because of its larger size. Of course, theoretically, the possibility exists that a bigger battery can be added to allow the Tiguan to be able to match the performance of the Kia Sportage with its impressive 43 miles of range.

Interior

The resemblances with the Golf will be present on the inside, as the Tiguan will be equipped with the same dual-screen infotainment setup. It’s comprised of an instrument cluster that measures 10 inches as well as a 10.25-inch main touchscreen. The overall look isn’t as minimalist as VW’s ID-badged vehicles However, the annoying climate controls that are touch-sensitive will probably return on the new model. We can nevertheless expect the platform change to increase Tiguan’s world-class 520-liter boot.
