Pre-sales for the all-new Tiguan have started in Europe. The third generation of the Volkswagen SUV has been completely redesigned, and will offer eight different powertrain options, including new 48V mild-hybrid drives, a turbocharged diesel, and two new plug-in hybrid drives with an electric range of about 100 km. (Earlier post.)

The basic version of the Tiguan with a 96 kW (130 PS) 48 V mild hybrid drive will be available at prices starting from €36,600 in Germany.

The all-new Tiguan will be available with eight different mild hybrid (eTSI), plug-in hybrid (eHybrid), turbocharged gasoline (TSI) and turbocharged diesel (TDI) drives.

Two new 48 V mild hybrid drives will be available to order straight away; the eTSI drives deliver an output of 96 kW (130 PS) and 110 kW (150 PS) and have automatic Active Cylinder Management (ACT).

The new Tiguan can also be configured with a TDI engine delivering 110 kW (150 PS) directly from the launch. The other drive versions will be introduced in 2024.

These include the newly developed plug-in hybrid drives for the Tiguan with an all-electric range of around 100 km. Due to the long electric range and a new DC quick-charging function with up to 50 kW, the eHybrid SUV becomes an electric car in everyday use. All Tiguan models are equipped with an automatic direct shift gearbox (DSG) as standard.
