A short video shows the third generation of this car model driving on the streets of Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital city, during a photo shoot. Considering that the car is being showcased in a future advertisement, we can assume that it belongs to the highest trim level, the R-Line variant. Although the video quality is not great, the 2024 Tiguan seems to have an evolutionary styling, as VW isn't willing to take any risks with its popular compact crossover.
The expected changes on the exterior design are not likely to discourage the usual Tiguan buyers who seek a pure C-segment crossover. The new generation will be larger as VW has announced it will be 32 millimeters longer and 5 mm taller, while the width remains the same at 1939 mm. The wheelbase remains unchanged at 2681 mm. The cargo capacity increased by 33 liters to 648 liters and adds additional headroom for the driver and the front passenger, as well as increased legroom for passengers in the back.
The Tiguan shown here has seating for five people because VW will no longer offer the three-row Allspace version in Europe.
The 2024 Tiguan will have a 12.9-inch touchscreen for the cheaper versions and a bigger 15-inch infotainment system for the high-end trims. VW has announced it will add a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a next-generation head-up display, and an OLED screen to the 4Motion Active Control system.
The next generation Tiguan will have engines that run on gasoline and diesel, and also offer plug-in hybrid options with power ranging from 201 to 268 horsepower.
The new Tiguan will be available in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, and it is likely to be the last generation that Volkswagen will sell in Europe with combustion engines. Volkswagen has pledged to go fully electric in Europe by 2033. Consequently, the company is likely to extend the life cycle of future models beyond the usual 6-7 years.
