SPY PHOTOS obtained in the past week revealed the updated 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan in testing. These showed that the small SUV’s frontal treatment will reflect the brand’s newer styling direction.
As shown on our speculative rendering (above), the updated Tiguan will likely bear similar headlight styling to the Scirocco, Golf VI, Polo V and the 2011 Touareg, recently spied testing.
Seen through the test car’s camouflage, the cosmetic updates will be focused on the front end, with the profile and rear styling carrying over from the current model.
An updated engine range is likely, focusing on compliance with the strict new Euro V emissions laws.
The updated Tiguan is expected to appear in international markets from late 2010 for the 2011 model year.

I like the Tiguan but funnily enough the front end has always been a bit of a miss for me. Hopefully this update will get my nod of approval.
Tiguan needs a good makeover… RCD510 standard, the passat/125kw version of the engine, better road handling, better seat angles (back seats are too straight and flat and feel pretty cheap) and the hardest would probably be to increase interior room but that’d make me love it more…
Yep, the front looks better.
But you’re right paddy, the lack of interior space - especially in the cargo area - would be a deal breaker for me.
