Volkswagen has just revealed the second-generation Tiguan before the Frankfurt Auto Show opens to the press on September 15.
The new Tiguan will ride on Volkswagen’s MQB front-wheel drive platform and grow in almost every measurable dimension.
Volkswagen says the new “European” Tiguan will be offered with multiple power outputs ranging from 125 PS to 240 PS. It will also be the first Tiguan with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, consuming an estimated 1.9L/100 km, nearly 124 mpg, in GTE guise thanks to a new solar roof. Also offered will be a new R-Line model with what’s expected to be the most powerful engine available.
It’s not just new engines, but lightweighting that will make the Tiguan more efficient. The second-generation compact SUV is said to be 110 lbs lighter than the outgoing model, even though the wheelbase has grown 3 inches in length and 1.2 inches in width. As has been the theme though, the Tiguan will be shorter than its predecessor by 1.3 inches.
Volkswagen will put the Tiguan on sale in April 2016.
The first Tiguan has sold 2.64 million copies to date.
