The back end has a Toureg feel to it, but unfortunately this is not really the angle we usually look at cars from, so its a bit hard to tell.

Those pictures that you linked to are artists impressions of what someone thinks it might look like. The photo a couple of posts back is the first one in the flesh that doesn't have a camouflage cover on. All will be revealed in a few more days.

This Tiguan looks great: very contemporary. Let's see if VW Australia will be "brave" enough to bring the GTE version to Australia if it is developed. They have been timid doing the same for the eco versions of the Golf (including the e-Golf and Golf GTE), despite bringing over the similar Audi stablemate.

They change d the exhaust back to a single twin exit instead of a dual exit system on the promo cars. That's a bit of a shame really.

Other than that I'm really liking what I see. Definitely sitting a bit lower/squatter and the R-line kits looks on point.

Interested to see what engines that they've put into this.

Now that's a great-looking Tiguan!

One of the first news reports I've read on it is saying that VW Australia may not bring the GTE over citing inadequate infrastructure for charging the car.

I don't get it - it's a plug in hybrid! It doesn't need to be plugged in if you don't want to or can't. It can run on it's 1.4L TSI happily and the regenerative systems as well as the solar panel on the roof would charge the battery back up until you get home and have the opportunity to perform the plug in. It's not as if you'll end up being stranded if you run out of battery.

1.9L/100km cited consumption and a boosted cargo of something close to 145L is an amazing upgrade. Increase of 61mm overall length and 30mm width. Wheel base lengthened by 30mm. Slightly bigger all over.

I really hope that VWA brings this over.

WOW, that is a good looking unit. Bigger, sits better & certainly looks like it has gone a level up almost...
