2012 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN

Volkswagen has revealed its facelifted 2012 Tiguan this week, following a run of spy photos over the past year that hinted at the small SUV's updated styling.

The Tiguan joins the recently-revealed 2011 Passat (expected in May) and Eos convertible (expected in June) as one of few Volkswagen models to be updated rather than replaced by an all-new model.

Bringing the Tiguan in line with the rest of the Volkswagen range is a new face and rear, with a sharp new headlight design, letterbox grille and slimmer tail-lights.

Inside, the Tiguan remains largely unchanged, gaining at least the new steering wheel featured across the VW range.

Mechanical details are expected to be revealed with the updated Tiguan's unveiling at next month's Geneva Motor Show.

In Australia, the Tiguan was most recently updated in September last year, when Volkswagen's DSG automatic transmission was added to all variants in the range.

Speaking with TMR today, Volkswagen Australia's Karl Gehling said that details for the new Tiguan's local debut are still to be confirmed, although a third quarter release is expected.
