2024 VW Tiguan

This is a bit silly though. Car journalists to talking about camouflaged cars. That’s why John Cadogan makes fun of these guys.
 
This is the new Volkswagen Tiguan, now the most popular VW in the world

The current ‘most successful’ VW model hits its third generation

Send out ravens! Ring the bells! For we must spread the good tidings far and wide! In news sure to hearten spirits across the land, a medium-sized SUV is now a German car company’s current best-selling model.

So, let us expel the Golf as the car you always thought was Peak Volkswagen, and instead welcome around the fire the new, third-generation Volkswagen Tiguan. Apparently, VW has shifted 7.5 million of the things since 2007, and the car “is currently the most successful VW model worldwide”.

So there’s a lot riding on this car, which is why Volkswagen tells us it now rides on the MQB evo platform said to “improve the Tiguan in practically every area”. Well, it’s better than making it worse in practically every area. Though we’ll come to the touchscreen shortly.

First up, engines. There’s a revised plug-in hybrid powertrain that gets a new 19.7kWh battery, able to sustain the Tiguan in all-electric mode for up to 62 miles (100km). That’s paired with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol to produce just over 200bhp or just under 270bhp. Combined, VW reckons the Tiguan eTSI is capable of a 621-mile range.

 
Volkswagen Tiguan

In a world premiere, Volkswagen presented the all-new Tiguan and with it the third generation of the bestseller. The Tiguan is one of the most successful Volkswagen models in the world today. More than 7.6 million buyers have chosen the compact SUV since its debut in 2007. The new model will reach dealerships as early as the first quarter of 2024.

Kai Grünitz, Brand Board Member for Technical Development: "The latest evolutionary stage of the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB evo) forms the highly innovative technical basis of the third generation of the Tiguan. Thanks to the large economies of scale of the MQB evo, Volkswagen is once again democratizing numerous high-tech developments such as the DCC Pro or the new hybrid drives with an electric range of around 100 km and making them available to hundreds of thousands of drivers."

The new technological developments realised with the MQB evo improve the Volkswagen Tiguan in practically every area. New hybrid drives with an all-electric range of around 100 km make this SUV more efficient than ever before. In addition, AC charging will be faster in all eHybrid versions, and fast DC charging will also be possible as standard for the first time. A cleanly designed Digital Cockpit based on the MIB4, the fourth-generation modular infotainment matrix, offers the highest level of information and brings digital services and apps on board. The operating concept is designed to be consistently self-explanatory. In addition, new systems such as a pneumatic massage function for the front seats or the IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights - used for the first time in the Tiguan - are derived from the premium Touareg model. The new adaptive chassis control DCC Pro optimises comfort and dynamics. The latest Park Assist generation automates driving in and out of parking spaces.

2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Revealed

After months of teasers and spy shots, the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan breaks cover with updated powertrains, new tech and a fresh look. Herewith the key details…

The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan has been revealed and it brings a number of upgrades to the party. Volkswagen has taken note of the feedback from customers and product testers, and the result is a thoroughly updated new model.

The third-generation 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan gets a bold new look and the Wolfsburg-based brand released images detailing a standard model in green and an R-Line derivative in red. There’s a lightbar at both the front and the rear, and depending on trim, different bumpers.

In terms of footprint, the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan stands 4 539 mm long (30 mm longer than before), 1 639 mm tall (4mm taller), 1 842 mm wide (same as before) and has the same wheelbase of 2 680 mm. Under the skin, the third-generation Volkswagen Tiguan rides on the new MQB Evo platform and features 10 mm additional legroom while space in the load bay has increased by 33 litres, up to 648 litres.

When is the new 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Coming to South Africa?

The new 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is due in South Africa in 2024. Local pricing and specification will be communicated closer to the launch.

 
Third-generation (2024) Volkswagen Tiguan revealed with smooth new look, high-tech cabin

While the Golf won’t live to see another internal combustion (ICE) generation, the Volkswagen Tiguan is here to stay and what you see here is the all-new, third-generation model.

Given that the Tiguan is the company’s best-selling vehicle, it figures that replacing it with a battery-powered model could be risky, but the new SUV does at least take its hybrid game to the next level.

Revealed in Germany on Tuesday, the new Volkswagen Tiguan is crafted around the updated MQB Evo platform. While its width, height and wheelbase remain almost identical to the outgoing model, the overall length has grown by around 30mm, while luggage capacity has increased by 37 litres to 652 litres.

The exterior design is smoother than the current Tiguan, forging a closer resemblance to the ID.4, and the current version’s large, droopy grille makes way for a glass covered horizontal strip, while breathing now takes place through the outer sides of the bumper.

 
I don’t think I have ever complained about big things before but man that screen is way too big. It is distracting.
 
The 2024 VW Tiguan PHEV Promises The Best EV Range On The Market

The third generation of Volkwagen's top selling crossover gets a plug-in hybrid variant with 62 miles of range. Hopefully it’ll come to the U.S.

The Tiguan is one of Volkwagen’s best-selling models. Since the crossover hit the market way back in 2007, Volkswagen says more than 7.6 million have been sold around the globe. Those hits should continue with the all new third generation Tiguan. Volkswagen revealed the all new 2024 model, and the big news is that there will be a plug-in hybrid version of the European-spec car that promises a best-in-class EV range of 62 miles (though with generous European WLTP cycle as its base, we can expect a little less in reality).

Before we get into the specifics of the plug-in, we have to point out the design. It’s all new from top to bottom, with a rounder shape in the name of aerodynamics. The front fascia and headlights are flush and curved with larger grille openings. This is enough to give the Tiguan a drag co-efficient that’s improved from 0.33 to 0.28.
