- Volkswagen currently produces the Tiguan (segment C-SUV) at Wolfsburg for European and American markets (North and South), in Shanghai for the Chinese market and in Kaluga for the Russian market.

- The future Tiguan, available with 5 or 7 seats, will be produced in two additional plants:  Hannover (probably the 7 seater version, in order to discharge the Wolfsburg plant) and Puebla, Mexico for 5 and 7 seater versions, marketed in North and South American markets, as well as some South Asian countries.

- In 2014, the Puebla plant, which produced 475 000 vehicles (Volkswagen Jetta and Beetle to world markets except China) for a capacity of 525 000 units per year, is already close to saturation. The arrival of the Tiguan therefore requires further increase of its capabilities: this model has indeed found 25 000 customers in 2014 in the US, 10 000 in Canada and 5 000 in Mexico, 40 000 units in total. In addition, the 7-seater version added to the 5-seater means that the expected sales volume for this region largely exceed this figure of 40 000 units annually.

- The German carmaker Volkswagen has therefore announced that it will increase production capacity of its plant in Mexico to add the manufacturing of the future Tiguan. The carmaker expects an additional capacity of 100 000 units/year at the Curitiba plant Puebla.
