VW’s upcoming Tiguan Coupe variant has been in the news since March, with the moniker Tiguan X being thrown around very early on.
Fast forward to last week, and we saw several undisguised images of a Tiguan X (name uncomfirmed), which will make its official debut in China later this year. The Tiguan X is reportedly based on the longer-wheelbase Allspace variant, also known as the Tiguan L in China.
The first prototype we saw happened to be fully camouflaged, so aside from its overall shape and a few front fascia features, there wasn’t much else to discern.

Still, that didn’t stop Kolesa from publishing their take on the Tiguan X, which at the time seemed somewhat accurate, at least as far as its design language was concerned. The thing is, that was May and this is July, and thanks to last week’s leak, we have a pretty good idea what VW’s new SUV Coupe is going to look like.
This particular render has the same origins as the first one, yet is based on the leak and also adds the “R” trim, which gives it a sportier appearance. The biggest change is at the rear, which now presents a full-width light unit and production-ready graphics, as per the leak.
Tasked with building the Tiguan X is SAIC Volkswagen, who will reportedly offer the crossover with two different turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engines. The entry-level unit will put out 184 HP (186 PS), whereas the more potent one should offer 217 HP (220 PS).
