Volkswagen announces new trims for the Tiguan and T-Cross

Volkswagen has announced that it has launched new Black Edition trims for the T-Cross and Tiguan, which will be available for order at its U.K. retailers from 12 December 2024.

Both trims feature black exterior styling elements including York alloys, with 18-inch wheels for the T-Cross and 20-inch wheels for the Tiguan. They also sport IQ.LIGHT matrix headlamps and LED rear taillights with dynamic turn signals. A driver assistance package including safety-first features is also available for the Tiguan Black Edition.

The Tiguan is built on the latest version of Volkswagen's highly successful modular transverse matrix platform, MQB-evo

The T-Cross Black Edition offers a choice of two petrol engines: a 1.5-litre TSI 113bhp unit paired with either a manual or dual-clutch transmission, or a 1.5-litre TSI unit that produces 148bhp paired with a dual-clutch transmission.

The Tiguan Black Edition also can be had with a choice of two 2.0 TSI engines allied to DSG and 4Motion all-wheel drive: A 261bhp version and a 201bhp power plant completely new to Volkswagen's U.K. Tiguan lineup. These engines will also be added to the Tiguan R-Line trim.
