Volkswagen started assembling the VW Tiguan in India in March and will launch the new model in the market next month. A report from Autocar India says that the company will offer the compact SUV in two trim levels.

The VW Tiguan buyers will get to choose between Comfortline and Highline trim levels. Panoramic sunroof, LED headlights, virtual release pedal, faux leather upholstery and 18-inch wheels are the features revealed so far. The report says that the Highline trim level will get the 18-inch wheels, while the Comfortline trim level will likely settle for 17-inch wheels.


Volkswagen India will offer the VW Tiguan in only one engine model. Under the hood, rests the 2.0-litre TDI turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine that is linked to the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. An all-wheel drive system is included in the specification list. India gets only the standard-wheelbase version with a 5-seat seating configuration.

The Volkswagen Tiguan’s bookings have reportedly commenced in India for a minimum price of INR 1 lakh. The compact SUV’s on-road prices are expected to fall in the INR 25-30 lakh bracket (ex-showroom) when it goes on sale in the first week of May.
