With the rise of the SUV department in the country, we were expecting a facelifted Volkswagen Tiguan 5-seater, however, the launch for this one has now shifted to June of this year. Earlier, the Citroen C5 Aircross rival was expected to launch in the first half of May, however, due to the Pandemic situation in India, the German carmaker has decided to shift its launch date.
We believe with the launch of the Volkswagen Tiguan, the sales of the 5-seater SUV will help the carmaker. The older model was priced at an expensive price and it did not satisfy the need of the buyers. However, this all-new facelifted Tiguan will surely be a treat because it packs an all-new petrol unit, updated features and a new design.
Sharing the details on the engine front then it now receives a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol motor which generates as much as 190 PS of power with 320 Nm of peak torque. This engine is the same as the Tiguan Allspace. One only gets a 7-speed DSG gearbox with it which thus increases the performance as well as helps in returning a good fuel economy.

Feature-wise, the new Tiguan now comes with three-zone climate control, connected car technology which helps you control some features of your car via your smartphone. Other features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, electrically adjustable driver's seat, virtual cockpit system are present in the Tiguan facelift.
Safety features include tyre pressure monitoring system, front and rear parking sensors, all-wheel disc brakes, hill hold control, traction control, electronic stability control, multiple airbags, antilock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution and among others.
Sharing the design outlook then at the front it gets reworked bumper along with a new chrome grille. One also gets the all-new LED headlight design which also gets integrated LED daytime running lights. The side profile continues with the sharp cuts and the chrome treatment is visible on the window beltline and above the black cladding. The new 18-inch Frankfurt alloy wheels are also noticeable.

The rear profile continues with LED lights and the chrome treatment with reflector is observed above the body cladding. Don't get fooled by those exhaust tips because they are fake. Both the front and rear profile gets faux skid plates which give the Tiguan a sporty appeal.
