2024 VW Tiguan

I don’t think I have ever complained about big things before but man that screen is way too big. It is distracting.
And I see no buttons at all.

At the very least leave a button for the volume and AC fan speed. The rest can be on the touch screen.

And yes that screen is mofo huge. That was the 1st thing I noticed.
 
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 take it there's no trucks on EU roads.?

What a terrible design. Design elements from the Touareg would have been much better.
 
Volkswagen integrates ChatGPT into its vehicles

Volkswagen announced plans to incorporate AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT into its vehicles equipped with the IDA voice assistant. This announcement, made at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, signals Volkswagen's commitment to enhancing the driving experience through AI technology.

Scheduled for rollout in the second quarter of this year, starting in Europe, this integration will initially be available in Volkswagen's line of electric vehicles, including the ID.7, ID.4, ID.5, ID.3, as well as their new Tiguan, Passat, and Golf models. Drivers in the United States will have to wait, as Volkswagen has stated that the feature is still under consideration and undergoing internal approvals for this market.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has gained significant attention in recent times, with Volkswagen emerging as the largest automaker to embrace this technology. It's important to note that Mercedes-Benz integrated the conversational AI bot into its MBUX infotainment system back in June.

No buttons is a deal breaker on any car for me going forward.

My current car only has knobs for temperature, everything else on the climate control is on the display unit (fan speed, fan direction, on/off etc). It's downright dangerous to operate while driving. Surely safety tests need to start taking stuff like this into account, instead of just crash tests.

Volume control being on the screen doesn't bother me if it's on the steering wheel...

I'm wondering if they ever will come back...with the AI and voice assistant I'm beginning to think the industry is shifting towards button less interior and intelligence based on driving, interior conversation and location.

Or maybe just chatgpt to get outdated directions on the free version whilst you are lost in the bundus lol
 
New seven-seat Volkswagen Tayron replaces Tiguan Allspace

Design for VW's new seven-seater revealed ahead of its UK launch in 2025

The new seven-seat Volkswagen Tayron is due on sale in the UK in 2025 as a successor to the retired Tiguan Allspace.

The second-generation Tayron has now been revealed in the latest batch of Chinese regulatory filings ahead of its planned introduction to Europe markets next year.

In China, it will be marketed as the Tiguan L Pro and come with the choice of both standard and R-Line styling packages.

Described by Volkswagen brand CEO Thomas Schäfer as a global model, the Tayron is planned to be produced at manufacturing plants in Germany (Wolfsburg), China (Anting and Changchun) and Mexico (Peubla).

As with the new third-generation Volkswagen Tiguan and ninth-generation Passat, it is based on Volkswagen’s new MQB-EVO platform, with added stiffening measures and 48-volt mild hybrid compatibility.

 
Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace to be replaced by Tayron

It’s the end of the road for the 7-seater Tiguan Allspace as Volkswagen rationalises its vehicle lineup. It will be replaced by the new-gen Tayron and here are some early images ahead of its official reveal in 2025.

The vehicle you see here is the brand-new Volkswagen Tayron and these images come from recent Chinese patent filings. It is important to note that this vehicle will be badged as the Tiguan L Pro for that market. The rest of the world gets the 7-seater Tayron and it will be manufactured globally for multiple markets.

Much like the new 3rd-generation Volkswagen Tiguan, the Tayron will be underpinned by the VW Group’s MQB-Evo platform. The patent fillings highlighted some dimensions too, with the Tayron being longer, wider and higher than the new 3rd-gen Tiguan by 197 mm, 17 mm and 43 mm respectively. The wheelbase is also 111 m longer than the standard Tiguan, which bodes well for both cabin space and a 7-seater configuration.

According to the UK-based publication Autocar, the 2nd-gen Volkswagen Tayron will ride on the latest version of the MQB platform and feature extensive mechanical updates to increase performance, comfort and refinement. The usual engine lineup of 4-cylinder turbo petrol and diesel motors are expected, but upgraded with mild-hybrid tech and 4Motion all-wheel drive will be available on certain derivatives.
