It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen a Tiguan in a Volkswagen showroom, and it’s been some time since we’ve actually heard the Tiguan getting a mention in the news. It’s been about seven years since Volkswagen updated its compact crossover but now it appears that the model is getting an all-new design in a meaningful update that’s well overdue.
So here it is, well not totally. VW released a bunch of images of its new Tiguan dressed up in camouflage. The model adopts the latest Volkswagen design language, but you might not see that based on the photos. There are, however, key details that tell us that the model’s redesign will definitely be a remarkable one, camo not included.
First off, we can tell that the design won’t be as boxy as before, since this generation of Tiguan adopts some of the design elements that are present on the ID.4 electric vehicle (EV), and sources state that the model is longer by 32mm, and the height is up by 5mm. The model’s width and wheelbase are carryovers from its predecessor. The model will adopt a new platform called MQB Evo, and it’s an upgrade over the previous model.
Volkswagen teases the 2024 Tiguan—will it ever return?
After being Tiguan-less for quite some time now, will Volkswagen plot the nameplate’s return? No comment as of now.

It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen a Tiguan in a Volkswagen showroom, and it’s been some time since we’ve actually heard the Tiguan getting a mention in the news. It’s been about seven years since Volkswagen updated its compact crossover but now it appears that the model is getting an all-new design in a meaningful update that’s well overdue.
So here it is, well not totally. VW released a bunch of images of its new Tiguan dressed up in camouflage. The model adopts the latest Volkswagen design language, but you might not see that based on the photos. There are, however, key details that tell us that the model’s redesign will definitely be a remarkable one, camo not included.
First off, we can tell that the design won’t be as boxy as before, since this generation of Tiguan adopts some of the design elements that are present on the ID.4 electric vehicle (EV), and sources state that the model is longer by 32mm, and the height is up by 5mm. The model’s width and wheelbase are carryovers from its predecessor. The model will adopt a new platform called MQB Evo, and it’s an upgrade over the previous model.
As for the model’s other features, cargo volume is at 648 liters which is 33 more than the outgoing Tiguan, and there are also other features in the mix, such as new headlamps that are a marked improvement over the previous generation, and a whole world of difference compared to the Tiguan we got back in the day.
On that note, the most striking feature of the new 2024 Tiguan is the LED strip in the front of the car. The design feature spans the entire length of space between each of the headlights.
As for the interior, the model will come with a 12.9-inch infotainment system and high-end models will get a large 15-inch display that will take the form of a large tablet that looks like it’s mounted on top of the dashboard. As for the other screens in the car, the model will get a 10.25-inch digital cluster with a heads-up display projected on the windshield, and to add to the features of the car, ambient lighting will also be included in the package.
For powertrains, sources are pointing to gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid motors running the show. Power output is anywhere between 201 to 268 hp for the plug-ins.
It has to be said, but we’re not holding our breath for the Tiguan in the Philippines. The T-Cross has done well in the country, but we’re unsure if VW Philippines is considering the model for our market at the time of this article’s writing. Whether or not this is the model we’re getting or whether or not a comparable model is slatted for the country is not yet certain. All we do know is that the compact crossover market is alive and that VW has yet to field a contender.
