Volkswagen Tiguan - Exterior Updates
It wouldn't be wrong to say that the pre-facelift Volkswagen Tiguan was a boring looking car. The squarish-design theme combined with boxy proportions meant that it looked quite understated, if not dated. The new Tiguan looks much more contemporary and sharper. The front fascia has been completely revised for a sportier look. It gets new sleeker headlamps that tapers towards the end, and also features new LED matrix units. The grille is now wider than before and features new detailing. The front bumper has been completely changed with new triangular-shaped fog light clusters and slated air intakes. In profile, the Tiguan facelift continues with the straight-ruled and almost boxy silhouette of the outgoing model. However, the 18-inch alloy wheels boast of a new design and there's a new front fender plaque as well. At the rear, the Tiguan facelift does not look all that different from the outgoing model. Still, the LED tail lamps get a new detailing and the bumper too has slightly redesigned.

Volkswagen Tiguan - Interior Updates
At first glance, the interior of the Tiguan facelift may look largely similar to the outgoing model, and as such, to the Tiguan AllSpace as well. However, look closer and you will notice that the HVAC controls are now operated via a new touch-based screen instead of the buttons and dials on the outgoing model. The infotainment system, although similar in size, is new and features the latest VW software. Volkswagen has also updated the digital 'virtual cockpit' instrument cluster. Heck, it even gets a new steering wheel with Volkswagen's new 2D logo. Also, the facelifted model comes with 30-colour ambient lighting, instead of just the one white in the pre-facelift model.
