5-Seat Volkswagen Tiguan to be re-launched in India

According to a media report, Volkswagen is planning to re-introduce the 5-seat version of the Tiguan later this year. However, it could get delayed due to the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak.

Volkswagen is said to launch the facelift version of the Tiguan in the 5-seat configuration. According to leaked images, the updated Tiguan could get an updated front fascia with new twin-pod wraparound headlights and a redesigned grille with chrome inserts. The redesigned front bumper could get larger vents with C-shaped chrome inserts.

The report suggests that the 5-seat Tiguan could be offered with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 148 BHP. The engine could be mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. In India, VW might also offer the 48V hybrid variant in place of a diesel.

Earlier this year, VW had launched Tiguan Allspace (7-seater), which replaced the 5-seater Tiguan.
