Volkswagen Tiguan vs Volkswagen Beetle

Can the Tiguan still muster its SUV credentials and come out on top as Godspeed did? Only one way to find out.

The recently launched Volkswagen Beetle is not your regular car. It’s an icon and is a celebration of the original Beetle which was on sale for more than six decades. It’s the crown jewel in Volkswagen’s history and is a car which gave the German giant recognition worldwide. Originally known as the people’s car, thanks to its reasonable price and low running costs, the new one though is anything but affordable. Priced at Rs 28.7lakh , the new car is more of an expensive accessory which is something you don’t need but rather something you want. At this price you can get many cars which are more practical and are better to drive, but these are not the reasons you buy a car like the Beetle anyway. It is a type of vehicle you will want for its retro appeal and the one which makes you feel special. So does the new Beetle feel special enough to justify its exorbitant price?

It is that time of the year again. That time of the year when we look forward to getting our cars and ourselves dirty. So, welcome to the fourth instalment of the mega Carwale Off-Road Day where we round up our favourite 4x4 and AWD SUVs on one big playground and test them under our unique testing parameters.
