Volkswagen Tiguan facelift revealed in China

Advertisement

Volkswagen’s Chinese division has launched the facelifted Tiguan at the Guangzhou Auto Show. However, this particular model is expected to be sold in the Chinese market only as Volkswagen’s head office in Germany did not reveal further details regarding this refreshed compact SUV. At the same, the European version should be revealed soon and we in Malaysia should be getting that particular version.

The European version should be treated to similar styling probably with some subtle changes. Looking at the new Tiguan that was revealed in China, you can notice a reworked front fascia that includes a new grille and a restyled front bumper. No changes are evident at the rear section. Changes on the interior include a new steering wheel and a redesigned climate control area. Work has been carried out on the instrument panel as well. The centre LCD screen looks a little different and two smaller gauges have been incorporated into the larger gauges. Look for more images after the jump.

    the grille make the front look cleaner but also duller. the current one has more "flavour".

    well, design is subjective.

    If you “have money“ to buy Tiguans and the like then stop whining if it cant use RON 95. I just don’t understand these bunch of so called filthy rich people. They like to show off they fcukin expensive car, but when it comes to paying taxes, parking fees or even fuel they’ll be the 1st to start complaining. I’m not surprise when they raised this issue in parliment recently, they even have the cheek to say their car engines get spoilt because of RON 95. Why the big fuss? Awwww… boo hoo… No money to buy expensive RON 97 is it? You bunch of stinkin freaks never cease to amuse me.

    Some malays are funny! Do you have a problem with a model dedicated to mainland market with a Chinese name? It amazes me some of you sneered at its name with Malay pronunciation! Okey, Proton, in Mandarin, sounds like Po Tong that means "broken bucket", see that?
