To be positive, the compact SUV has undergone a refresh, than a full-fledged redesign. Most notable among the Tiguan’s changes are a pair of new front-bumper designs, headlights with LED walking lights, & the two-bar grille that has come to define current VW products. At the back, the tailgate wears sharper creases, & the light housings are smaller & more squared-off. Updates to the inside are minimal, with new HVAC controls as well as a brand spanking new multifunction steering wheel being the most obvious. (It should be noted that this Tiguan is different from the reworked version shown in Beijing last year for the Chinese market.)
Having accidentally leaked a glance at its 2012 Tiguan, Volkswagen is making the face lift official with this batch of images. The small ute is scheduled to be physically unveiled in Geneva in March, but European dealers are already accepting pre-orders for the new Tiguan, as the current model has sold out.
