Volkswagen is set to launch its premium, sporty SUV, the Tiguan, in India on April 14, 2025. The third-generation Tiguan will arrive as a completely built unit (CBU) import and will come with the fully-loaded R-Line trim, which is a first for India. While the price is still under wraps, insiders suggest it will start at around ₹50 lakh (ex-showroom, India) or more, making it a significantly more expensive offering compared to its predecessor, which was discontinued at ₹38.17 lakh.
The new Tiguan is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 201 bhp and 320 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It also features Dynamic Chassis Control Pro, allowing drivers to adjust the damping to suit their preferred driving style, from comfort to sport.
Inside, the new Tiguan boasts a wealth of features, including a 15-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 10.25-inch virtual instrument cluster, wireless chargers, a head-up display, massaging seats, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof. Safety features include 9 airbags, a hill start assist, hill descent control, all four disc brakes, and 21 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features.
The third-generation Tiguan marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor, with a more powerful engine, modernized features, and premium touches. With its highly anticipated launch just around the corner, car enthusiasts in India are eagerly awaiting the price reveal and the opportunity to get behind the wheel of this exciting new SUV.
