Along with facelifted looks, the new Tiguan also features for the first time keyless entry and start system, lane Assist, light assist, and XDS electronic differential lock – as fitted to the Golf GTI.
Four trim levels are available: S, SE, Sport and Escape with all models boasting 16-inch alloys, air conditioning, DAB radio and alarm.
SE adds 17-inch alloys, 2Zone electronic air conditioning, Park Assist, iPod and Bluetooth preparation plus fatigue detection system as standard.
Sport versions gain multi-function steering wheel and Bluetooth connectivity, plus chrome plated roof rails, heat insulated and tinted glass from the B-pillar back, sport seats, front fog lights and sports suspension among other items.
The new off-road-minded Escape model features a Bluetooth and multi-function steering wheel.
Six engines are available, three petrol and three diesel – four of which are new to the Tiguan. New engines include a twin-charged 1.4-litre TSI with 158bhp, a 2.0-litre TSI with 178bhp and a 2.0-litre TSI with 207bhp.
