Apart from the powertrain improvements and the growth spurt, the other aspect of the next Tiguan that is most different is the new 4Motion and Active Control System. From a mechanical standpoint, the focal point is the fifth-generation Haldex AWD system, shared with the VW Golf R, which features on electro-hydraulic clutch that couples and uncouples the rear axle. Under normal dry-weather conditions, the Tiguan functions as a front-wheel drive vehicle; when conditions become more challenging, the predictive system redirects, theoretically, up to 100 per cent of the torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of driver involvement, the Active Control System allows for the choice of four different modes (normal, snow, off-road and individual), similar to the system used on various Land Rovers. During a quick tour of off-road obstacles at a BMX track called Mellowpark, the Tiguan showed a willingness to clamber up hills that easily exceeded the old version’s capabilities.
The 2018 Tiguan is bigger, tougher and more capable than ever. While prices will be announced much closer to the official on-sale date, interested parties can expect to shell out more for what is, effectively, a completely different crossover.
