Belgian Tuner Caractere has been known for adding some aggressive yet not completely over the top touches to Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, and this is their kit for the Volkswagen Tiguan, which was recently launched in Malaysia. Anyone who can afford RM250k for what Volkswagen calls the “GTi of SUVs” can now rest assured that if somehow all their peers get to decide Tiguans as well, theirs can still look different. Look for more shots after the jump.

i like caractere’s bodykits, aggresive but not ah beng, unlike the others like WALD’s c class. loved the a4′s bodykit.
good job!
Cool..
nicee…
nice but the tiguan model launched in malaysia is the one with the higher bumper at 28 degrees for offroading. don’t think this kit’s front can fit on it…
beautiful rims
looks a lot better, not so boring
Test drove the Tiguan yesterday….hmmm do not really felt the torque….abit body roll probably of the tyre profile. Overall not bad as it comes with touch screen panel and best of all AUTO ASSIST PARKING function. Height is just nice look is cool but the front bumper is the offroad version that has 45 degrees which is kinda sharp at the front.
Nice comfort rise, handling is good, pickup is so so only.
** Nice comfort RIDE instead of rise
This is a good example of a perfect oem look bodykit.
hmmm ok laaa
after the freelander 2 and kuga, the tiguan would be my fave suv
LOVE IT!! Nice to be compared to X3…
it beat the x3 anyday for looks and space
how can this be comparable to X3 when this is with styling bodykits… OMG
No matter how I looked at it, it does have the latest Hyundai Santa Fe lines. I wonder if they shared the same design team.

the santa fe is fat and dumpy, this car is slim but has a hip
Does anyone on the list have experience with Caractere body kits? Do they wear well in the tropical heat?
