The second generation of the Volkswagen Tiguan was shown at the 2015 Frankfurt Motorshow and it is the answer given by the German car manufacturer to the compact crossover segment.
In 2016, basically, every car-manufacturer had something to say on the compact SUV segment. Considering this, the German manufacturer has decided not to improve the first generation but rather transform it and started from scratch.
The second Tiguan platform was the MQB, which was used for the first time for an SUV. The width of the vehicle was aesthetically enlarged due to its grille with two horizontal chromed lines on it and narrow headlights. Unlike the previous generation, the 2016 Tiguan didn't look just like a modified hatch-back. It had a proper SUV image, even in the long-wheelbase version that could host up to seven people inside.
Inside, the clean dashboard and simple lines were typical for a Volkswagen. It didn't have something special on the look, other than being very practical. Everything was exactly where you'd expect to be, but somehow boring. The infotainment system offered an option for an 8” touchscreen display and it could connect to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The rear seats could have been moved back and forth, with a reclining seatback.
For the engine compartment, the Tiguan had plenty of engines to offer, including a 2.0-TDI engine that featured different power levels, from 150 hp up to 250 hp on the R-version. The Tiguan was offered either with 2WD or all-wheel-drive.
