While we do have a photo of the etrailer Hitch # e43ZR on a Volkswagen Tiguan, we only have that photo of a 2018 model. We unfortunately do not have a photo specifically on a 2022 model. I went ahead and attached 2 photos of the hitch installed to this answer.

As far as cutting, I am pleased to say that the hitch does not require any cutting whatsoever on your 2022 model. The installation is super easy and can be done in about 30 minutes.

I also attached a photo of the full step-by-step instructions of the hitch installation for your convenience. There is also a video that walks you through the process as well. The video is virtually identical to the process you need to do on your 2022 model.
