INSANE: Vw electric crossover spied hiding underneath tiguan test mule | Rare Historical Photos

What may seem like a Volkswagen Tiguan in "poverty spec" with unpainted bumpers is actually something else. You can easily see the beefy side skirts flanking what is surely a battery pack housed within a stretched wheelbase of the already longer Tiguan Allspace. The extra thickness of the B-pillars reveals the vehicle is longer than the combustion-engined crossover, presumably to fit more batteries between the axles.

The absence of an exhaust system is also a telltale sign that there is no internal combustion engine underneath the hood. In addition, VW chose to use the body of the Tiguan Allspace before its facelift, so clearly, this is something else than what the peeps from Wolfsburg want us to believe. The dashboard appears to have a more upright design compared to the ICE-powered crossover, further suggesting the exterior appearance is misleading.
