North America's third-gen Tiguan isn't related to Europe's at all — it's nearly identical to the Chinese-market Volkswagen Tayron L, badge-swapped for American buyers.

The second-generation Tiguan grew longer, wider and roomier in every direction — yet it actually weighs about 50 kg less than the model it replaced.

Tiguan beat out Namib, Rockton, Samun and Nanuk — the name is a tiger/iguana mashup that won a readers' naming contest run by a German car magazine.
