Volkswagen Tiguan is a Volkswagen meritorious model, according to statistics, last year in the Chinese market Tiguan L sold a total of 158,000 vehicles, the peak of single monthly sales of nearly 30,000 vehicles, once the Volkswagen Group SUV field sales responsibility; to this day, Tiguan L can still maintain the monthly sales of more than 10,000 results, from then on can see the strength of Tiguan.
The first generation of Tiguan was launched in 2007 and rebranded in mid-2011; the first generation of Tiguan was developed on the Golf PQ35 platform, and once launched, it quickly swept the European and American markets.
Around 2010, the first generation of domestic Tiguan was officially unveiled, equipped with 1.8T and 2.0T engines, with excellent space, good power performance and fuel economy, quickly gained a foothold in the compact SUV market.
It was not until 2017 that Tiguan ushered in the first generation, using a new exterior design, but also from the PQ35 platform to the MQB platform, the wheelbase jumped directly from 2604mm to 2791mm, and the vehicle was also upgraded from the original compact SUV to a medium-sized SUV, and named Tiguan L.
The original Tiguan was sold in the same hall as Tiguan L, and then yue was used to replace the old Tiguan, and launched derivative models such as Tiguan X for the young people market.
With the gradual popularization of new energy, foreign media expect that the new generation of Tiguan is likely to be the last generation of fuel version of Tiguan, and Volkswagen expects that in 2026, its global sales of electric models account for 25%.
From the rendering, it can be found that the overall design of the new Tiguan will use more ID series styles, such as headlights, through-the-clock day running lights, and luminous logos. Since the Tiguan L is a fuel version of the model, the grille is still retained below.
The overall vehicle will be more rounded to reduce the drag coefficient of the vehicle to distinguish it from the current boxy and tough body lines. The professor speculated that the new car will be built on the MQB EVO platform.
The same is true for the tail, the overall design is closer to the ID.4, and the through-type taillights are the most direct evidence. It is said that Volkswagen is likely to retain the Allspace 7-seater model on the new generation of Tiguan to meet the needs of different markets and different consumers.

At present, foreign media has not released the interior pictures of the new Tiguan, and it is expected that the new models will have more obvious changes in the interior, and it is likely to join the most cutting-edge technologies of volkswagen such as AR-HUD, as well as larger screens and more advanced car machines.
The current Tiguan eHybrid
It is reported that the new Tiguan will still launch a pure electric version and a plug-in hybrid version, and the entry-level version may use a slightly lower cost 48V light hybrid system.
The new Tiguan will probably debut in 2024 and officially go public in 2025, as to whether there are other variables in the process that prompt the new Tiguan to debut in advance, it is up to time.
Volkswagen Group on the road to electrification can be described as the most aggressive of the traditional car companies, but also one of the rapid turn of the car companies, this year launched ID.4, ID.6, ID.3 and other pure electric products, although there is still room for improvement in some details of the experience, but from a long-term point of view, Volkswagen is obviously one step ahead.
In the future, SAIC Volkswagen will also launch a number of new cars such as Aero B, with the Shanglingdu L, the redesign of Langyi and other models, 2022 will be a year for SAIC Volkswagen to work hard again, and there will also be the emergence of new 1.5T engines and other blockbuster technologies.
The new Tiguan will not meet with us immediately, but from the SAIC Volkswagen 2022 plan, it can be seen that 2022 is a year for SAIC Volkswagen to burst out, on the one hand, on the basis of excellent fuel vehicles, by adding a new 1.5T engine to enhance the overall environmental attributes, supporting the sales data of Volkswagen Group; on the other hand, the update of new energy models, as an aircraft carrier-level enterprise, in addition to understanding the needs of the front-end market, but also to take care of the huge factories in the rear, 2022 Volkswagen is still not easy.
