Volkswagen wants to expand its production in North America beyond the current Passat, Jetta and Beetle models. According to Wirtschafts Woche, VW will build their upcoming Tiguan model at either the Chattanooga plant or the Pueblo plant in Mexico, where the Jetta and Beetle are assembled.

Meanwhile, the German carmaker will also be looking at cutting down on production costs too. If VW pulls the trigger on North American production for the Tiguan, it would likely start in 2013.


Since its launch in 2007, the compact SUV Tiguan has sold more than 700,000 cars world wide. The facelift was provided this February and next generation is expected by 2013.
