VW Tiguan

Exterior Typical VW design language, Slightly agile and upmarket.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Impressive.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Disappointing Performance inspite of 340 NM Torque , Circa 15 KM / L , Impressive Gearbox.

Ride Quality & Handling Good Pick -up, Impressive on high speed turning.

Final Words Was expecting better pricing and powerful engine from the VW Stable. The Cost is at par with Ford Endavour and Toyota Fortunar, however lacks significantly in engine, power, dimentions. Indeed Hyundai Tuscon has a more powerful engine with 20% lesser cost, resale value and brand value in Indian Automobile fraternity.

Areas of improvement Must Come - up with Manual Transmission for Enthusiasts, Reduce the price, Reduce running cost by increasing more on localizing the same, More engine options, Should introduce a concept similar to Maruti's true Value to Re - Energize the VW brand in India as it has lost oits ground in most of the catogories, be it Polo, Vento, Jetta, Beetle. Only saving grace for VW is the Ameo, which has a tough competition with Aspire, Xcent and now the hot selling Dezire ( which has already crossed 40 K booking in 10 days of launch).

Brand Value and Service NetworkExpensive , Power to Weight Ratio is disappointing , No Manual Option , High Running Cost
