Volkswagen Working on 7-Seater Version of Tiguan SUV?

While there’s no official word out yet, the latest issue of German car magazine “Autozeitung” features a computer generated image of a long-wheelbase version of the Tiguan SUV. The German’s support that the extra length will be used to add a third row of seats that will be able to fit two more passengers –apparently small adults or children. If it actually finds its way into production, the Tiguan LWB’s main market will be of course the USA with power coming from the existing engine line-up.

Volkswagen to Double Production of Tiguan SUV

In order to meet customer demand (more than 100,000 orders) and reduce the long waiting times (up to 10 months in some cases), Volkswagen is planning to double the output of its new Tiguan compact SUV that went into production this month at its Wolfsburg plant. Currently, the German carmaker is producing 220 Tiguans a day but according to plant manager Siegried Fiebig, this figure would be increased to between 400 and 450 a day to help reduce lead times for the car.
