Yahoo Autos Third-generation VW Tiguan revealed, U.S. version to follow
The Tiguan is one of Volkswagen’s best-selling vehicles in the U.S., but it’s been several years since the automaker last gave it a full overhaul. That’s changing soon as VW revealed an all-new version of the small SUV, with a longer variant coming to the States.
Volkswagen incorporated the latest iteration of its MQB Evo platform, and it naturally gets fresh styling that isn't just for looks. The revised shape gives the SUV a drag coefficient of just 0.28.
The 2024 Tiguan will be available with gas, turbodiesel, and mild-hybrid engines. But most interesting is the plug-in hybrid. VW claims up to 62 miles of electric range, though that's undoubtedly based on the WLTP test cycle. U.S. range would certainly be lower with the more conservative EPA test. VW didn't share any specifications beyond that for the PHEV or any other powertrain, nor details on transmissions. But the Tiguan does adopt the steering column stalk of the new ID models. Retuned adaptive suspension and electronic limited-slip differential programming also arrive in the new Tiguan.
