2024 Volkswagen Tiguan spied again

Volkswagen is expected to reveal its upcoming third-generation Tiguan medium SUV in 2023, with looks that take inspiration from the flagship Touareg and all-electric ID.4.

Our spy photographers captured this steel-wheeled Volkswagen Tiguan prototype during cold weather testing in Sweden.

Volkswagen has gone to great lengths to make this prototype look like a current Tiguan with extensive use of white tape and black camouflaged sections.

This is most obvious on the grille, headlights, and tail lights. There are even fake quad exhaust pipes on the rear bumper that are made out of white tape.
