The current Tiguan is a compact SUV which only accommodates as many passengers as a normal sedan. However the next-gen Tiguan will be dramatically different, by offering the 3rd-row capacity.

According to the news from Volkswagen, the following are what we will expect:

– 2nd-gen Tiguan will be launched in 2017;
– 3-row-seat capacity;
– Based on the VW Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform
– To be build in Puebla, Mexico
– To be sold in North/South America and other markets except European Union and China
