Volkswagen is getting the third generation of its Tiguan SUV ready for premiere. For the first time on record, the spy photos reveal what looks like a plug-hybrid version.
The PHEV looks identical to its peers until you notice a charging port in the driver’s-side fender. The front fascia sports a wide chrome-trimmed slab, and the headlights reveal square sections inside. The exhaust tips at the back are obviously fake.
In its third design iteration, the Tiguan will ship with a 12.9-inch infotainment display as standard. Higher trims will offer a larger 15-inch screen. The dashboard is also digital and measures 10.25 inches corner-to-corner.
Customers will also be able to choose from two PHEV powertrain variants – one with 204 PS (201 hp / 150 kW) and the other one with 272 PS (268 hp / 200 kW). Traditional petrol and diesel options are also expected.
