The third generation of the Volkswagen Tiguan presents a design that moves away from cuts and edges to embrace a more traditional sensation of muscularity and solidity, a typical characteristic of Volkswagen vehicles. In addition to the aesthetic appearance, this new Tiguan is based on the modular Meb Evo platform, which introduces a new digital interface for the user, electronically controlled suspension, and two plug-in hybrid engine options that offer driving autonomy in fully electric of up to 100 km.
The range of engines it also includes a 1.5-litre petrol mild hybrid engine, along with a range of 2-litre powertrains, both petrol and diesel, offering the option of all-wheel drive and a maximum output of 265PS. Here are the details you need to know:

How Volkswagen Tiguan 2023-2024 is renewed
The new generation of Volkswagen Tiguan it’s a clear change from previous versions. Compared to the second generation of 2016, characterized by sharp lines, and the first generation of 2007, with simple curves, the new Tiguan has a more balanced and contemporary design.
The length of the new Tiguan it is 4,539 mm, with an increase of only 30 mm compared to the previous model. Width and wheelbase remain unchanged at 1,842 mm and 2,680 mm, respectively, while height increases by just 4 mm, reaching 1,639 mm. The Tiguan therefore retains the typical dimensions of a C-segment SUV, adapting to a wide range of customers, from families to companies.
What distinguishes the new Tiguan is its design, which represents a meeting between traditional engine cars and electric ones, maintaining the typical solidity of Volkswagen vehicles. A key element in the design is the absence of the clear cut that ran across the sides in the previous generation, replaced by clean lines interrupted only by two curved cuts above the front and rear fenders, which can accommodate wheels up to 20 inches.
The design gives the car muscularity, with more raked pillars and a longer windshield thanks to a well-defined spoiler. This is the essence of a Volkswagen mid suv: a presence of great impact. The front is simple but bold, with a glass-surfaced crossbar and an LED strip replacing the traditional grille. The cooling vents are moved to the lower part of the bumper.
I new LED Matrix Iq.Light headlights, available as an option, offer high definition lighting thanks to 38,400 individually adjustable LEDs. This technology allows intelligent and selective control of the light beam, introducing new lighting functions. The rear of the car features a continuous crossbar with LED rear lights and a large tailgate that opens onto a boot with a maximum load capacity of 652 liters in the petrol, mild hybrid and diesel engine versions.
The overall appearance is characterized by curved and dynamic lines, giving the car a sporty image without sacrificing comfort and elegance. Furthermore, thanks to careful aerodynamic work, the drag coefficient (CX) has been reduced from 0.33 in the previous generation to a remarkable 0.28. This was achieved thanks to details such as the subtle “air curtain” which improves airflow around the front wheels.
Volkswagen Tiguan 2023-2024: from price to strengths
The third generation of the Volkswagen Tiguan, which joins Barter, T-Cross e Taigo, presents an engine of great interest for enthusiasts of the automotive industry, thanks to its versatility and innovation. This model will be equipped with a new plug-in hybrid powertrain developed by the Volkswagen group, which represents a significant bridge between traditional and fully electric cars.
The heart of this hybrid system, called eHybridconsists of a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission (eDsg) which houses an electric motor with a power of 85 kW (115 HP) and a maximum torque of 330 Nm. This electric motor operates in combination with the new 1.5-litre TSI Evo2 four-cylinder petrol engine, featuring a high-efficiency Miller combustion cycle and a variable geometry turbocharger.
The basic version of the 1.5 TSI Evo2 petrol engine it delivers a power of 110 kW (150 HP), but in combination with the electric motor, the hybrid system reaches a total power of 150 kW (204 HP). Alternatively, a top-of-the-line eHybrid version with an output of 130 kW (177 hp) is available, bringing the overall output of the hybrid powertrain to 200 kW (272 hp).
This investment not only aims to improve performance, but also to promote ato more sustainable driving. The lithium-ion battery has been upgraded, going from a net capacity of 10.6 kWh in the previous version to a total of 19.7 kWh. The battery is positioned at the rear of the car, contributing to better weight distribution compared to the front-mounted engine and gearbox.
Introduced a notable improvement in rechargea, with the possibility of charging the battery via alternating current at home wallboxes at a maximum power of 11 kW, allowing a complete recharge from 0% to 100% in approximately two hours. Direct current (DC) fast charging up to 50 kW allows you to recover energy from 10% to 80% in approximately 25 minutes.
This all translates into an increase inautonomy in fully electric mode, which reaches approximately 100 km. Thanks to the assistance of the petrol engine, the total range can reach approximately 1,000 km.
For what concern prezzohas currently been announced only for the German market, with a starting point of 36,600 euros.
