VW Tiguan spied

Volkswagen's baby-off roader is getting a fresh new face! Judging by these shots, the German firm will be hoping to bring the Tiguan into line with the rest of the VW range with a host of styling updates and revisions. 

Hiding underneath the heavy camouflage will be the latest Volkswagen family face, including a cleaner grille and more angular headlights. 

Meanwhile, at the rear the revisions will be harder to spot with only a slight re-design due for the tail-lights.

Engines will mostly mimic the current lineup and should include the turbo- and supercharged 1.4-litre TSI engine, as well as 1.6 and 2.0 TDI variants. All engines can be mated to a traditional six-speed manual gearbox or, as an option, to Volkswagen's semi-automatic DSG gearbox.

Expect to see the facelift revealed at the Paris Motor Show in October this year, with new models going on sale early next year.
