The Volkswagen Tiguan which, since its debut in 2007 has sold 7,4-million units, returns in third-generation form blending modern design with technological innovations.
At launch, the new Tiguan is powered by a 1.4 TSI engine delivering 110 kW, paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission. Later, Volkswagen will introduce two more powerful options: a 2.0 TDI engine with 110 kW and a 2.0 TSI engine offering 140 kW, which will be available in early 2025.

Despite growing by only three centimetres in length, the new Tiguan boasts an even bigger luggage compartment at 652 litres ensuring plenty of room for a weekend getaway or the daily commute.
Starting from R651 500 for the base 1.4 TSI model, the Tiguan offers a range of trims to suit different needs and budgets. For those wanting something more luxurious, the Life variant is priced at R702 800, while the sporty R-Line will set you back R766 300.
Volkswagen has given the new Tiguan a design overhaul, without straying too far from its classic look. At the front, a glass-covered bar replaces the traditional grille, flanked by sharp, integrated LED headlights.

With improved aerodynamics – the drag coefficient is now down to 0,28 from 0,33 – the Tiguan is more efficient, while the 20-inch wheels and bold shoulder lines above the wheel arches give it a muscular stance.
Volkswagen has redesigned the interior with premium materials and cutting-edge tech, blurring the lines between luxury and everyday practicality and the centrepiece is the new Digital Cockpit – a 12,9-inch display (upgradeable to 15 inches) that’s intuitive and easy to use.
This system integrates with the latest infotainment features, offering a seamless blend of apps, media and navigation.
