Volkswagen Tiguan has been the automaker's best-selling model in their line up, and it looks like VW is considering to don the coveted GTI treatment on the Tiguan too.
According to a report by Carbuzz, the news comes from a conversation with Hein Schafer, Volkswagen USA senior vice president for product marketing and strategy. In short, he said VW is constantly looking at options for a more efficient engine with more horsepower.
Does that mean VW has pulled the trigger on a Tiguan GTI? Well, it is a rumour after all, and there have been pictures of a full-fledged Tiguan R model testing at Nürburgring lurking around on the net, so the possibilities are there. Plus, other German brands have a high performance version for all their SUVs, so it would only be logical for VW to think along those lines.
We have seen teaser by Volkswagen for the upcoming 2020 Tiguan facelift, along with the Tiguan R leaked spy shot. If the rumours are true, we could be seeing the GTI version make its global debut in 2022.
