Notes
- Volkswagen said in September 2023 that the third generation would roll off the line in Wolfsburg from fall 2023 and reach the market in the first quarter of 2024; Wikipedia gives production from 2024. European pre-sales opened in November 2023 (Volkswagen).
- North America: the 2025 'Tiguan' sold in the US and Canada is a long-wheelbase car that Wikipedia describes as nearly identical to the Chinese-market Tayron L rather than the European Tiguan, with two rows of seats only. It is kept in this generation with its own dimensions record. No separate model code or North American press release is cited, and North American model years are not recorded.
- China: the third generation is sold as the long-wheelbase Tiguan L Pro, alongside the previous Tiguan L.
- European powertrain figures are from Volkswagen's German-market releases; market recorded as EU.
- Dimensions conflict: English Wikipedia gives 4,551 mm length, 1,842 mm width, 1,640 mm height and 2,681 mm wheelbase for the European model; German Wikipedia gives 4,539 mm length, 1,842–1,859 mm width, 1,656–1,658 mm height and 2,677–2,680 mm wheelbase. Volkswagen's releases cited give no absolute figures (only 'around three centimetres' longer than before). The German Wikipedia figure is recorded; Volkswagen's published dimensions are not recorded here yet.
