Volkswagen’s Tiguan is now lighter and sprightlier

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?
