The Volkswagen Tiguan is a five-seater premium midsize SUV and is the flagship model from the German carmaker in India. This generation of the Tiguan made its India debut back in 2017 with a diesel engine, but was pulled off the shelves during the transition to BS6 emissions norms. Post the introduction of the uprated emission standards, VW re-launched the Tiguan with a facelift and a turbo-petrol engine.

The Volkswagen Tiguan boasts an understated yet sophisticated design and is better known for its tight handling and solid build quality. It must also be noted that internationally, the next-gen Tiguan has been revealed with a new exterior design, an updated interior with even more tech and cleaner engine options.

The Volkswagen Tiguan is the German carmaker’s flagship SUV offering in the Indian market.

It’s also fun to drive, thanks to its potent 2-litre turbo-petrol engine. There is a new third-generation model available overseas, which is expected to come to India as well.
