At Volkswagen, the time has come for electrification. From the first ID.3 and ID.4 to the latest ID.7, ID.Buzz or ID.2All, the brand accelerates its development. Nonetheless, the German manufacturer does not abandon its historical models. The proof is here from Tiguanwho will afford a the well-deserved third generation for 2024. It should be supported by the all-electric ID model in the coming years.. Enough to allow it to continue to exist in pure thermal and hybrid! The fifth model of the brand in France in 2022 (12,064 units), the current 2016 Tiguan hides its age well. After all, Volkswagen will soon put it in the closet and raise the curtain brand new version. Still camouflaged, the brand lets us see it today…

Less lush, more slender

In fact, he should abandon the extended and seven-seater version, christened Allspace. We will of course find the new Volkswagen logo in 2D and most of the brand’s latest tricks. He will keep the thermal versions and also equip the plug-in hybrid versions.

Gasoline, micro-hybrid and PHEV

Essentially, Volkswagen will continue to offer “pure” thermal, non-hybrid. There will also be eTSi units (48V micro-hybrid). For plug-in hybridwe can expect fully electric autonomy of about 100 kilometers ! It is also a small revolution on board. Volkswagen represents a large 15-inch central digital panel. Bigger than we are used to. The same applies to the digital instrument panel, which is located in front of the driver’s field of vision. Otherwise, the presentation is simple and familiar, a bit sad besides, compared to some of the new products… Tiguan is almost there, it is The premiere will take place in a few weeks…
