2017 VW Tiguan LWB
This one was spotted somewhere in the US
and, although we can't know for sure, the car's Arizona plates might be giving
away the location, making this the first time it surfaces undisguised anywhere
other than China.
Set to enter production in the first
quartet of 2017 and go on sale in the US as either a 2017MY or a 2018MY, the
LWB Tiguan will feature a wheelbase stretched by 110 mm over the
regular model that rides on a 2,681 mm wheelbase, and a longer rear
overhang. This will allow for the fitment of a retractable third seat bench,
probably most suitable to two children rather than adults, as is the norm in
this class, and still maintain a sizeable boot.
Its engine range will also come from the
SWB Tiguan(though after Dieselgate, one can't be certain about the diesels in
the States) and possibly a hybrid, too.
