Volkswagen AG is launching its second-generation Tiguan in the United Kingdom in the spring. The vehicle was revealed at the 2016 Frankfurt motor show in September. It is to compete with similar offerings from Land Rover, and is longer, wider and lower than the car it replaces, and also has a longer wheelbase.

The model will be available with 114bhp 1.6-litre diesel engine and trio of 2.0-litre units with outputs of 148bhp, 178bhp and 217bhp are also available. Petrol options include a variety of 1.4-litre and 2.0-litre turbocharged engines.
