Volkswagen plans to further expand the second-gen VW Tiguan range with a coupe
variant. autopista.es has created a speculative rendering of this car.
The rendered VW Tiguan Coupe is in the R-Line
variant, which means that it gets the “R” style bumper and sill extension as
with the VW Tiguan R-Line. It suggests that the coupe version would have more
strongly sloping roofline and a rakish back glass, which are typical characteristics
of a coupe. Volkswagen may use the VW Cross Blue Coupe concept as an
inspiration for the more dynamic proportions of the VW Tiguan Coupe. Lowering
and widening the Tiguan’s body could further accentuate the sporty styling.
Volkswagen introduced the second-gen VW Tiguan with
four TSI petrol and four TDI diesel engines, in displacements ranging from 1.4-
to 2.0-litre and outputs ranging from 115 PS to 240 PS. The VW Tiguan Coupe may
share most of the high-output engines with the VW Tiguan. Transmission choices
may include 6-speed manual and 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.
Availability of the 4MOTION AWD system is a given.
The VW Tiguan Coupe is expected to arrive sometime
in 2018. Volkswagen is working on a coupe version of the VW Atlas as well.
