Aesthetically, the facelifted Tiguan gets updated styling that is very much in line with the brand's current design language. It sports a slightly tweaked grille with LED Matrix headlights and LED DRLs giving a sleeker look upfront. Moreover, the front bumper has been revamped housing a triangular-shaped fog lamp. The rear section gets slimmer taillights to enhance the overall appeal of the SUV.
On the inside, the Tiguan facelift also gets a newly designed cabin featuring a virtual cockpit, Vienna leather upholstery, ambient lighting, illuminated scuff plates, panoramic sunroof, illuminated gear knob, touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, three-zone climate control, flat-bottom steering wheel with multi-functions, driver-side electric seat with memory function, and much more.
The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan facelift will get a 2.0-litre engine under its hood.
