SPYSHOT: All-New 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan Revealed Sans Disguise

Courtesy of a Carscoops’ reader, we now have a first look at Volkswagen’s next generation Tiguan before it makes its Frankfurt debut.

Taken during a marketing material shoot, the all-new Tiguan thankfully doesn’t differ a lot from the official sketches released with a sharper and more upmarket design, at least from the angle seen from this sole photo.

Traits from Volkswagen’s previous concepts – the CrossBlue and Cross Coupe GTE are seen on what should be the final production model of the Volkswagen Tiguan, seen here in a standard five-seater model. However, there are hints that two additional variants; a longer wheelbase seven-seater, and even a coupe iteration.

Here's the current Volkswagen Tiguan, seen from the rear, as a comparison:

The Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform will serve as the underpinnings here with an array of petrol and diesel engines paired to it. Hybrid and all-electric powertrains may also be offered on the all-new compact SUV.
