The Volkswagen Tiguan is scheduled to get a mid-life facelift next year and the German carmaker has teased the SUV ahead of its unveil. Now we still don't have all the details about the upcoming SUV but the teaser image gives a fair idea of the design changes that have been made to its face. The new front is in-line with Volkswagen's new family face drawing design cues from the Jetta and Atlas Cross Sport.

First up are the new headlamps which look sleeker than the ones on the current model and then the grille too has slimmer slats giving it a more aggressive look. The front bumper has been revised with sharper lower air intake and the curtains around the fog lamp housing have been tweaked as well. The changes will not only be limited to its exterior, but also there will be substantial changes on the inside as well.

The Volkswagen Tiguan 5 seater SUV was launched in India in 2017

Under the hood of the Tiguan Facelift will be a 2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine that will pump out 181 bhp and about 300 Nm of peak torque and will be mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It will continue to get the 4Motion all-wheel drive (AWD) system and expect it to get all-terrain kits and modes as well. Since the Tiguan has been replaced with the Tiguan All-Space seven-seater in India, expect the updates to follow in the All-Space as well at a later date.
