2016 VW Tiguan caught undisguised ahead of unveil - Indian Autos Blog (blog)

At the side, the Tiguan appears to be sitting on large 18 inch diamond cut alloy rims, and comes with a small chrome element on the front wing, a chrome line that runs across the side, chrome underlining for the window line, and roof rails. Coming to the back, it sports a sleek pair of horizontal LED taillamps, larger windscreen, roof spoiler, a chrome line on the bumper, and twin chrome exhaust tips. The VW Tiguan is based on MQB platform, which is around 100 kg lighter and more refined than the outgoing PQ35 platform. It is expected to source some of its engines from the 2015 VW Golf (also based on the MQB platform), which include a 1. 2 TSI, 1. 4 TSI and a 2. 0 TSI, as well as diesel options like a 1. 6 TDI and 2. 0 TDI. It could be either paired to VW’s new 10-speed DSG automatic gearbox, or continue offering the 7-speed DSG unit. Source: indianautosblog.com
