Originally launched in 2007, the Tiguan has been a real cash cow for Volkswagen and is currently gearing up for a third generation due to arrive later in 2023. The future compact crossover was spotted recently hiding its production bodywork for the first time, signaling the huge popular C-segment model has entered the next stage of development. Based on these spy photos, a freelance artist speculatively rendered the revamped model.
In an attempt to digitally peel off the camouflage, the artist imagined the 2024 Tiguan with a mix of Golf and ID.4 cues that were apparently noticeable on the prototype. The new generation model appeared to be significantly larger than the current vehicle, giving the impression of a slightly smaller Touareg. It also appeared to be less boxy than today’s crossover while having a completely redesigned front fascia.
We’ll remind you that the test vehicle had body-color tape applied to the tailgate in an attempt to potentially hide a light bar implemented in the adjacent render. Hopefully VW gets rid of the ugly prototype fake exhaust tips that have plagued other models in recent history. The render depicts the 2024 Tiguan with a smooth behind by hiding the exhaust tip under the bumper.
Probably the last generation to come with combustion engines, the facelifted model will use the VW Group’s cleanest ICEs to date. Logic tells us that these are designed to meet the Euro 7 regulations which are expected to come into force within the next few years. Chances are the eHybrid version will be tweaked to unlock more electric miles and hopefully there will be another high-performance R version. For what it’s worth, the US-spec Tiguan has already been confirmed to get more horsepower despite not getting the “R” suffix.
The interior is a bit of a mystery at this point, although our recent spy photos revealed the 2024 Tiguan will have an ID.4-like setup with a small digital instrument cluster and the infotainment touchscreen that protrudes from the dashboard. Time will tell if VW is planning two- and three-row versions again, but the size jump is understandable since the Wolfsburg brand is offering the T-Cross, Taigo, Taos and T-Roc as smaller offerings.
