Reportedly due next month, the new generation Volkswagen Tiguan is gearing up for launch. The German car marque is putting the final touches on it, and the compact crossover appears ready for the big debut.
What makes us say that? A few images of an uncamouflaged pre-production car, snapped during the promo shooting in Slovenia's capital city, Ljubljana, apparently. The vehicle was caught completely naked next to a camera car, showing its exterior design ahead of the official presentation.

As we already knew from the numerous spy shots and the occasional realistic rendering, the all-new 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan has a different face that kind of sends ID vibes. It features smaller headlamps compared to the outgoing iteration, a small grille, and a less aggressive bumper. The lighting signature is more modern at the rear, and both bumpers feature chrome elements in a move that appears to tie them to the color of the roof rails.

By the looks of it, this version of the next-gen Tiguan is likely in the R-Line trim level. This means a sportier look on the outside and presumably some updates in the cockpit. We've already seen the interior, which features a 15-inch infotainment screen on upper grades and a 12.9-inch display on the lesser models. It also gets digital dials, a head-up display, and a more generous trunk said to have increased by 1.2 to 22.9 cubic feet (33-648 liters). Volkswagen says they have improved the quality of materials used throughout the cockpit, and that's even more good news.

Underpinned by an upgraded variant of the MQB Evo platform, the 2024 Tiguan is expected with electrified powertrains, including plug-in hybrid units with up to 268 horsepower combined and probably standard all-wheel drive. Mild hybrids and gasoline engines will complete the offering, and it is possible that the European variant will launch with one or two diesels. The DSG automatic transmission will be the only option, as the new Tiguan won't pack a manual gearbox anymore. And, as usual, the 4Motion all-wheel drive system will be limited to the more expensive models.

Deliveries in Europe are believed to start in the first quarter of next year, and we might not get the next Tiguan at all. That's what the rumor mill says, anyway, as the redesigned Tayron could act as the successor to the Tiguan Allspace. The 2023 Tiguan is currently offered in the S, SE, SE R-Line Black, and SEL R-Line in the United States. The base model carries an MSRP of $26,950, which goes up to at least $37,680 for the range-topper, excluding destination and dealer fees. It's safe to assume that if we indeed get the new Tiguan over here, it will probably be a bit pricier.
