    Tiguan 2020 Mid-Life Update

    I know this is getting in early but there's a few pictures floating around of the mid-life update that will be coming out for the Tiguan (likely) in 2020.

    GTE concept with new front end:

    And some spy shot of a new front end for the standard Tiguan:

    You would anticipate the GTE concept might be something resembling an R-Line front bar. They definitely need to clean up that overly 'heavy' design and that looks like a solid improvement.

    Although your "standard" spy shot has Mk7 Golf R/R-Line overtones to it's shape/design.

    I think you could be right here. On closer inspection there is a cover over the lower section of the upper grille (between the number plate and the badge). The wheels/car also does look heavier too.

    I like the GTE design front bar. I'd have it on my car. I agree that the current R-line is a bit heavy on the styling and doesn't necessarily balance/blend well with the rest of the car.

    That blue GTE would be spot on - right front bar, right colour and right wheels eh.

    Far sportier/better looking than existing R-Line set-up. I absolutely suspect they will fix that issue on the FL.
