Although the new Tiguan will officially make its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in a few weeks, Volkswagen chooses not to release all the details on the facelifted model but update us with new yet limited info every once in a while. After last week it presented the first photos of the Tiguan facelift, the German brand is back with a set of new photos and information regarding the crossover SUV.
Volkswagen said that the future Tiguan will come with no less than three new engines, among which there's also a 2.0-liter TSI gasoline unit that develops 210 horsepower. Other features will be included in the upgraded range as well, so expect better-equipped trim levels to make it into production as well.
Details on the other two new engines have not been disclosed but, from what we know, Volkswagen will offer four turbo gasoline configurations with a maximum power of 210 horsepower. The diesel lineup will include three units that will output between 110 and 170 horsepower.
Similar to other updated models in the Volkswagen lineup, the Tiguan is described as an innovative vehicle, so it will be equipped with newly-developed systems such as fatigue detection, Lane Assist and Dynamic Light Beam Assist. Some of them could be offered as optional or standard on the top-of-the-range configurations.
