Volkswagen Tiguan Features And Overview

The Volkswagen Tiguan is sold in India in one version, the Tiguan R-Line, at ₹47.11 Lakh ex-showroom. It is a five seat SUV with the sporty R-Line look, 19 inch alloys and a long standard equipment list, so there are no trims to choose between.

It shares the 1984 cc 2.0 TSI with the Tayron: 204 PS, 320 Nm, a seven speed DSG with paddle shifters and 4MOTION four wheel drive. Volkswagen prints 12.58 km/l, a figure taken from the EU type approval certificate rather than an Indian test.

Safety covers nine airbags, 21 Level 2 ADAS features and a five star Euro NCAP rating. For comfort you get a panoramic sunroof, three zone climate control, a head-up display and heated front seats with a massage function.

Two details are worth knowing before you visit a showroom. The front seats are adjusted by hand, and they are trimmed in Greyson velour rather than leather. Every other item is listed on the Tiguan R-Line feature sheet.

The five seat Tayron Life costs ₹5.12 Lakh less and has a bigger boot and electric, ventilated front seats. The Tiguan answers with a head-up display, matrix headlamps, adaptive DCC Pro suspension and a larger screen. Road tax adds several lakh, so find the Tiguan on-road cost for your state.
