India-bound next-gen Volkswagen Tiguan officially teased

The next-gen Tiguan is expected to make its global debut later this year.

Volkswagen has shared a few teaser images of the next-generation Tiguan. The images showcase a pre-production prototype of the upcoming SUV.

The new Tiguan is slightly longer than before. While the wheelbase is identical to the outgoing model, the overall height has gone up by 5 mm. VW claims that the larger proportions have resulted in a 33-litre increase in luggage space.

In terms of its design, the new Tiguan has fewer sharp edges. The car has a more rounded front fascia with an LED light bar and redesigned bumper featuring a wide air dam. The rear features slimmer wraparound taillights, a roof spoiler and a shark fin antenna.

Inside, the new Tiguan gets a large touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Reports suggest that the SUV will also get ventilated seats with a massage function.

The next-gen Tiguan could be offered with a range of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains. It will make its global debut later this year.
