The range of the new Volkswagen Tiguan arrives at Spanish dealerships, where its price is already known

The third generation of a model that, over its two previous generations, sold 7.6 million units worldwide, thus becoming one of the most important vehicles for Volkswagen, arrives. This is the Tiguan, which just over three months ago was presented with the changes it has received. Now, finally, its sale kicks off in Spain.

Broadly speaking, let us recall that the new Volkswagen Tiguan stands out for its cleaner and more modern design, in which the front now features more streamlined headlights joined by an LED strip running across the top of the grille, as on other models from the brand. The cleaner new design means that the air intakes for cooling are now located on the outer sides of the bumper, which also helps improve its drag coefficient by 0.05. From the side, the new wheel designs stand out, reaching up to 19 inches, while the rear design is reminiscent of other models from the brand.

Inside, the Volkswagen Tiguan features a new design concept that also takes ideas from other models such as the ID.7, with the gear selector located on the steering column. According to the brand, quality materials and finishes and, of course, technology now take priority. Noteworthy are the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and the touchscreen for the infotainment system, which, depending on the chosen trim, can be 12.9 or an optional 15 inches. Additionally, occupants will now benefit from more interior space thanks to the 3 centimetres added in length, and a boot that grows by 37 litres to reach 652 litres.

With the launch of the new Volkswagen Tiguan, the brand has confirmed that the range will be based on three trim levels, starting with the base trim simply called Tiguan, which comes as standard with equipment such as the following:

As I mentioned, the new Volkswagen Tiguan can already be ordered at the brand’s dealerships, available from the outset with eTSI mild-hybrid engines in power outputs of 130 and 150 CV, both equipped with the DSG automatic gearbox sending power to the front axle. Later on, specifically in March, the Tiguan will also receive the TDI diesel engine, also with 150 CV, DSG automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive.

Throughout the first half of 2024, eHybrid plug-in hybrid versions will arrive, available in power outputs of 204 and 272 CV, both with DSG automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive. It is also around this time that the Tiguan will showcase its greater sportiness thanks to the arrival of the most powerful ICE engines, of 204 CV for the TSI and 193 CV for the TDI, the latter with 4Motion all-wheel drive. For the most powerful petrol version, with 265 CV and all-wheel drive, no confirmed arrival date has been announced yet.
