2011 / 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan leaks

2011 / 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan Leak

It seems clear that Volkswagen are intending giving their compact softroader – the VW Tiguan – a bit of a nip and tuck for the 2012 model year. A little surprise they were planning for next month’s Geneva motor show.

But someone at VW dropped a bit of a clanger and posted the photo you see above on VW’s German web site. It didn’t stay there long, but long enough for the VW-obsessive members at autopareri to grab the image.

What we see is a sutably refreshed 2011 VW Tiguan looking for ali the world like a boil-washed, 2011 VW Touareg. Which is probably the point. If you’re going to take over the world you need to make sure everyone knows what a VW looks like.

We’re sure there’s more to the Tiguan facelift than a refreshed nose and some LED lights to look like its big brother. There’s a good chance the interior goes a bit upmarket and the engines see a tweak to deliver more power with better economy.

It also looks as if VW may be offering some off-roading options judging by the blue Tiguan in the background of the photo above, which seems to be sporting an off-roading skid-plate at the front. Perfect for the boot sale.

More details when VW do this officially.
