The new Volkswagen Tiguan, revealed last year, goes on sale in the UK with four trim levels and DSG ‘box only.
Sitting on a new MQB Evo Platform, the new Tiguan still looks familiarly like the current Tiguan and comes, eventually, with a wide choice of powertrains (including PHEV), and an interior similar to the new Passat with a 12.9″ infotainment screen (15.0″ optional).
Now, the 2024 VW Tiguan is going on sale in the UK, although you’ll have to wait a bit for some of the new models, in a choice of ‘Base’ trim and Life, Elegance and R-Line, there’s initially a range of two petrol and single diesel option.
The initial engine options are a 1.5-litre mild hybrid petrols with 128bhp and 148bhp and a 2.0-litre TDI diesel with 148bhp, with a pair of PHEVs with 201bhp and 268bhp arriving in the spring and a pair of 2.0-litre TSI models with 201bhp and 260bhp arriving much later in the year.
A DSG ‘box is standard across the range (seven-speed on most, six-speed on the PHEVs), 4Motion 4WD is standard on the 2.0-litre TSIs and EV range for the PHEVs is officially 62 miles.
Volkswagen UK’s James Russell said:
All these features make the new Tiguan one of the most modern mid-sized SUVs on the market. Add also its redesigned interior with high-quality materials and workmanship, plus the optional 15-inch display and IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights, and you can clearly see how the new Tiguan looks like the compact sister model to our range-topping Touareg luxury SUV.
Now on sale, prices start at £34,060 for the ‘Base’ Tiguan and, for now, rise to £40,880 for the Tiguan R-Line 2.0-litre TDI.
