The stylish on-road front end of the Tiguan S, SE, Sport and R Line with an 18° angle of approach gives a dynamic air, even when standing still, while the addition of the gleaming chrome radiator grille surround and louvres radiate
elegance and sportiness. Meanwhile, the off-road design with a 28° angle of approach and sturdy underbody
protection ensures the Tiguan Escape takes obstacles in its stride, while its powerful front end gives it a rugged look. Sleek black roof rails complete the spirited on- and off-road design of the Tiguan S and Escape perfectly, while chrome-plated roof rails are subtle yet stylish on SE, Sport and R Line models. The rounded in-set headlights,
innovative design and confident lines give even greater elegance to its appearance. The Sport, R Line and Escape’s front fog lights not only improve safety in the event of poor visibility, but also provide a sporty finish, enhancing the Tiguan’s overall image, while its stylish rear light clusters enhance the rear body lines and ensure the Tiguan leaves you with a lasting impression.

If you’re the kind of person that likes to be spontaneous, the Tiguan is a dream come true. Because whatever you want to do, it has the flexibility to provide exactly the seating or stowage arrangements you require. The amazingly adaptable interior is fitted with sliding and reclining rear seats that split 60:40, enabling either
side to be moved backwards or forwards independently of each other. This gives you the option of either increasing boot capacity or providing your rear seat passengers with more legroom. The backs of the rear seats can also be folded down, as can the back of the front passenger seat on SE models and above, giving you valuable extra stowage space, useful for carrying longer items. Combined with the variable boot capacity, this gives you a massive loading volume of up to 1,510 litres. And it goes without saying that smaller items can be stowed without any problem, because the ergonomically designed storage areas offer plenty of extra space. All of which means there’s very little you won’t find room for in this exceptional SUV. And showing, once again, how everything about the Tiguan has been painstakingly designed to work as effortlessly as possible.
