Couldn't find another thread on the new Tiguan. I never really liked the soft looks of the outgoing Tiguan, but the new model looks fantastic IMO. The proportions are perfect and it looks a lot more chunky and purposeful than the old model. I think this could well be our new family wagon later this year. Will be looking forward to seeing the pricing and options.
There's already some info on the VW website (the covered picture is clickable) but it'll be fully loaded from tomorrow.
Be interesting to see how it goes - it's supposed to be quite a bit dearer than the existing one, although that's been heavily discounted for some time now. Bought one for my missus 6 mths ago - the current one is a nice size for an urban SUV, she really wouldn't want anything bigger.
Pan roof will be standard on SEL trim (but I was bemused to see that leather isn't).

Ridiculous practical question but does anyone know if the boot space has finally been improved. It's beyond crap in the old version!
My wife would like one as her next car but she said you can barely fit a pram in the back, let alone shopping too, so what use is that as a family car?
"beyond crap" compared to what? Current Tiguan is ballpark the same as other medium size cars. New one is a third larger. My wife would like one as her next car but she said you can barely fit a pram in the back, let alone shopping too, so what use is that as a family car?
I think it do with some more horizontal detailing at the front....
..and it should be hunkered down more to allow better cornering speed, and less clearance over speed bumps and god forbid anything resembling 'dirt', larger more blingy wheels and lower profile tyres would be good too, to finally kill off that much vaunted go-anywhere vibe
