Close examination of the body reveals clever stickers across the grill, headlights, and taillights that distort the design. The big, C-shaped intakes on the bumper are also fake, as are the exhaust outlets and rear diffuser. While the video doesn't provide a look at the cabin, previous spy shots revealed that Volkswagen will revamp the layout and remove the center touchscreen from the dash.
It's unclear if VW will make significant updates to the Tiguan's powertrain lineup, but there are hints that the company is bringing a more powerful variant to the US. The all-electric ID.4 and ID.5 are already available, so the current engines are likely to carry over with minor tweaks. However, the gas-powered Tiguan may receive some electrification in the form of a mild or plug-in hybrid setup.
Until recently, there was some doubt as to whether VW would offer an all-electric Tiguan. However, a report from last month confirmed that the crossover would indeed spawn a fully electric version with the name ID. Tiguan. The EV will be built on the dedicated MQB platform, and the gas-powered Tiguan may receive some electrification as well.
Volkswagen hasn't announced an official debut date for the next-generation Tiguan, but it's expected to hit the market in early 2024. The automaker tends to operate on its own schedule, so it's possible that the debut could come before the end of the year. Either way, the Tiguan is set for a major overhaul, and car enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating its official unveiling.
