The rumor mill is churning in the Volkswagen world today. It’s no secret that the Tiguan is a hot-selling SUV for the German automaker. It’s also no secret that VW is keen to offer a broader range of performance machines for U.S. buyers. And lastly, it’s no secret that an amped-up Tiguan R is coming soon, possibly bringing upwards of 330 horsepower (246 kilowatts) to the table. It’s not clear whether it will be available for U.S. buyers, however, who are still cost-conscious when it comes to VW purchases.
Enter the rumor for a Tiguan GTI, as reported by CarBuzz. The news comes from a conversation with Hein Schafer, whose official title is senior vice president for product marketing and strategy for the company’s USA division. In short, he reportedly said the company was always looking to find new options for engine efficiency and more horsepower. As such, more Tiguan variants are expected and more power could be part of the package.
