2024 Volkswagen Tiguan vs Old Volkswagen Tiguan

2024 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line vs Old Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
Comparison Visual Exterior & Interior Design

Volkswagen is presenting the all-new Tiguan with charismatic design, new interior, progressive technologies and new hybrid drives with an all-electric range of around 100 km.

The compact SUV comes with a completely new design. As a particularly striking feature, the front of the vehicle has a powerful look with very flat LED headlights and glass-covered horizontal strip.

The Tiguan to be launched with the newly developed IQ.LIGHT HD (High Definition matrix) headlights. A high resolution of the light sources, 19,200 multipixel LEDs per headlight illuminate the road and the surrounding area to a completely new level and therefore improve comfort and safety.

The radiator grille openings are now located at the outer sides of the bumper, where air curtains ensure optimum air routing. The cleanly designed front end highlights the fact that the drag coefficient has improved from 0.33 to 0.28. This silhouette is characterised by athletic shoulders over the wheel housings (with up to 20-inch wheels). A new horizontal LED strip adds emphasis to the unmistakeable Tiguan rear end.

The new Tiguan has increased in length by approximately three centimetres. The height, width and wheelbase remain practically identical to the predecessor. The luggage compartment capacity of the new generation shows just how good the use of space is: although the SUV is only slightly longer, its luggage compartment capacity has increased by 37 litres to 652 litres (when loaded up to the height of the rear seat backrests).

The interior of the Tiguan features a completely new concept and design. It stands out with its high standards of material and workmanship. In addition, the new cockpit landscape is intuitive to use, closely integrated, and has a clean and smart design. The modules include the new Digital Cockpit (digital instruments with anti-reflective coating in tablet landscape format), an infotainment screen that measures up to 38 centimetres (15 inches) and has an entirely new menu structure and graphics, a new head-up display (projections on to the windscreen) and a new multifunction driving experience switch with integrated OLED display. This new rotary control with its own mini screen can be used to control the driving profile, radio volume or also the background lighting colours. In contrast, numerous vehicle and infotainment functions can be easily adjusted using natural language with the new IDA voice assistant.

The new ergoActive Plus seats with pneumatic four-way lumbar adjustment and pneumatic 10-chamber pressure massage function are a perfect match for the high-quality character of the Tiguan. In addition, there is a programming function for automatic activation of the seat heating or seat ventilation at certain outside temperatures.

Thanks to MQB evo, various drive types can be implemented in the Tiguan. For example, there will be turbo diesel engines (TDI), turbo gasoline engines (TSI), mild hybrid turbo gasoline engines (eTSI) and plug-in hybrid systems (eHybrid), which will be offered exclusively in conjunction with the automatic transmission (DSG) in the future.

New hybrid drives with an all-electric range of around 100 km make this SUV more efficient than ever before. In addition, AC charging will be faster in all eHybrid versions, and fast DC charging will also be possible as standard for the first time.

The shape of the old one with the interior of the new one

Honestly, the old cars were better designed . No unnecessary fuss like extra lights, ambient lighting, toaster bread pop up infotainment, and also were easy to maintain compared to now which they all need to be looked by dealers and the prices for replacing the parts and accessories are very expensive

[hypnotoad]

The older one looks better in almost every conceivable way.

I love my 2021 (old😆) Tiguan. I don't need huge TV in the my car. And I like minimalistic ambient light. I dont need all this new сhinese lighting inside the car. Also DSG DQ500 works great. And tuning potential of EA888 gen3 engine is huge. I can easely transform my fast SUV to 400+ hp sports car that can beat 100 km/h in less then 5 seconds.

[jonatansterling]

I still like the OLD one design. The old one exterior especially at the front and back design looks more classic and expensive. The interior still has buttons to adjust air con, 360 degree camera, brake hold, etc which are easier to be controlled than they are in display monitor.

[AunaliBandali]

Tell me how does it help to have extra lights on the dashboard or having full length tail lights end to end or even having lights on the logo ? Or having thousands of features which don’t even get used by the drivers and touch sensitive screens which are complicated to use especially navigating the menu’s to reach the targeted applications while driving . How are even all these allowed ! Are we driving cars or aeroplanes on the road ??

[stevieg]

Although I have a mk2 facelift Black Edition on order I prefer the mk2 R Line Tech, no Mk3 for me

[chrisgray]

They blew it with the front end, nice rear and interior but front is a deal breaker.

[StereotypedMe_]

Old one most definitely better. New one front and back bottom part look like forgot what to draw and just scrabble 😂

[Skyfll]

It looks kinda boring and bit like an id4

[MrRyuken]

The new one seems to be more Asian like in design. Seems to have lost the older design that differentiated it from its competitors. Old exterior was better. New interior seems better.

[toufiqbe]

Should i buy the old one or wait for the new 2024 one ??

[imahunter]

The front grills ❤❤❤ of old one is waoooo

[TheRealDeal]

How come The US version looks the same?

[sackeycharliejeremiah]

Old design was best new design looks ugly especially at back seems they run out ideas

[konsen]

IS This new VW Tiguan still using the
CRAPPY FRAGILE PLASTIC WATER PUMP or
CAST METAL DURABLE WATER PUMP??

[Ricky-momv]

I guess I am in the minority as I think the exterior and interior look significantly better. The old style wasn’t going to cut it anymore against the more modern styling that KIA, Hyundai, Mazda, and finally even Honda are offering. I do agree that the infotainment screen is a bit too much and intrusive. It could definitely be smaller and the top edge should be flush with the level of the dashboard.

[stevena]

Bull frog front intake, ‘Spider-Man eyes’ headlamps and bland sides and haunches - looks like an id.4! Total
Disappointment.

[theruleoffire]

Looks like a rav 4 with a kia soul. I hate it!!!

[TheLillipuss]

The old front grill looks better less plastic
