DON'T THROW THE baby out with the bathwater, they say; it's a maxim that car manufacturers are wise to remember when updating cars that have a strong following. The Volkswagen Tiguan, for example, is VW's biggest-selling model globally, and third only to the Golf and T-Roc in the UK, so rash changes would be risky.
Fittingly, while the new Tiguan looks new, there's still much of the current car's DNA left, with incremental changes across the board to strengthen the areas where it was needed.
The exterior has a similar styling treatment to the recently announced 2024 Passat estate, with new, slimmer headlights, a large lower grille and a rear lighting strip that stretches the full width of the car. Yet for all those revised looks, the car's approximate size and shape haven't really changed.
Under the surface, the new Tiguan's underpinnings are a development of the current car's, tweaked to bring a raft of new tech that's intended to change the way the Tiguan drives. Volkswagen's Dynamic Chassis Control system, for example, continually reacts to the road conditions and tweaks steering, braking and acceleration accordingly. An optional DCC Pro system takes this a step further, introducing more sophisticated suspension with the aim of improving ride comfort and agility.
