Volkswagen’s Tiguan is now lighter and sprightlier
The Hindu
Apart from a thirsty engine, the Tiguan is a luxurious, refined, spacious and decent SUV to drive
It was back in 2017 when VW brought the current-generation Tiguan to India. The diesel-only, 5-seat premium SUV was assembled locally and touted as a cheaper alternative to compact luxury SUVs like the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. Fast forward to 2020 and VW pulled the plug on the Tiguan, replacing it with the larger petrol-only Tiguan Allspace.
Now the 5-seat Tiguan is back but with two big changes over the 2017 model — it has received a facelift and the diesel mill has made way for the 2.0-litre TSI petrol unit from the Allspace. So, what is it like?

This overestimated our collective response capacity while underestimating our psychological tendency to normalise, says Rachit Dubey, assistant professor at the department of communication, University of California.
