Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance review

Best looking,best comfortable,best mileage,solid body, low maintenance expenses and a best car for family in proper budget .For a status symbol for family members Volkswagen is best.

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.
