据德国《汽车画报》杂志报道，大众将进一步扩展途观车型阵容，2018年将增加一款途观轿跑车。预计该车造型风格将取自CrossCoupeGTE概念车，其顶级款R版本将搭载一台2.0升四缸涡轮增压引擎，功率224千瓦/300马力，扭矩380牛米。该杂志称，大众认为，由于近期推出了可选装第三排座椅的更大尺寸途观，因此这款轿跑车版本有足够的存在空间。由于轿跑车不再需要更多空间，因此车身可以设计成更顺滑的造型。车厢内将采用更高端内装，后排将用两个更豪华座椅替代目前的长排座椅。

VW Allegedly Preparing Tiguan Coupe For 2018

Rumors once against hint that Volkswagen might expand the Tiguan range by adding a trendy coupe variant to the crossover lineup. Germany's Auto Bild claims the vehicle could debut as soon as sometime in 2018.

The styling would have taken cues from the Cross Coupe GTE concept. A range-topping R variant would have offered an estimated 300 horsepower (224 kilowatts) and 280 pound-feet (380 Newton-meters) of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. According to Auto Bild, VW sees room for the chic version because of the recent introduction of a larger Tiguan with an optional third-row seat. For folks that don't need the extra space, they could sacrifice the room for sleeker styling. The interior would also be less utilitarian by fitting more premium-appearing trim and replacing the rear bench with a pair of more luxurious seats.
