It's been nearly seven years since Volkswagen unveiled the current Tiguan, so naturally, it's nearly time to meet its successor. Until the world premiere this fall, the compact crossover is being previewed in a series of teasers focusing on the fully camouflaged exterior. Riding on the MQB Evo platform, an improved version of the current architecture, the third-generation model will go on sale in Europe in the first quarter of 2024.
Despite being covered, it's easy to see the new Tiguan is less boxy than its predecessor as VW opted for a more rounded design akin to the electric ID.4. The Wolfsburg-based marque says it has stretched the vehicle by 32 millimeters (1.25 inches) to 4551 mm (179.1 in) while height is up by 5 mm (0.2 in) to 1640 mm (64.5 in). The width and wheelbase have been carried over, at 1939 mm (76.3 in) and 2681 mm (105.5 in), respectively.
