Volkswagen’s mid-size crossover, the Tiguan, will live past the second generation, which has been around since 2016. Not only that, but it will inevitably embrace its all-quiet side, as the German company is expected to offer it with battery-electric power.

The new Tiguan won’t follow the modern trend of becoming a purely electric vehicle. Instead, it will continue to be offered with combustion power in different forms for at least this upcoming generation, which could be succeeded by a battery-powered model. It’s obviously too early to talk about the Tiguan EV, but we know the next-gen Tiguan will ride on an updated version of the MQB Evo platform. Given the small time window, before the combustion engine is banned completely in Europe, it’s not really a surprise the Wolfsburg-based automaker doesn’t want to invest huge money into new architectures for ICE-powered products.
The new Volkswagen Tiguan will in any case simply get combustion engines again. In addition, the Tiguan again comes with plug-in hybrid powertrains. However, it seems certain that the newcomer will be the last Tiguan to receive (mild-hybrid) petrol and diesel engines in Europe.
The new car is equipped with a narrow-strip floating LCD instrument and a larger floating screen. It also comes equipped with rear exhaust vents, USB ports and icons of suspected seat heating.
In terms of power, as a reference, the current Tiguan L isequipped with 1.4T and 2.0T engines.
