What's bigger than a Rabbit and smaller than a Touareg?
A Tiguan, of course!
And our photos are the very first images that anyone outside of Volkswagen will see.
Codenamed VW416, the Tiguan is riding on a PL/PQ48 platform a combination of the Golf/Rabbit and Passat platforms one which will eventually be shared with Audis A4, A5 and Q5.
This small SUV will likely roll off the assembly line in Wolfsburg in the end of 2007, or possibly the first quarter of 2008, likely making it a 2009 model here in the States.
As for the name That was chosen by readers of Germany's Auto Bild magazine. Only time will tell if that name is going to stick.
