 "Volkswagen Tiguan")
Even before I drove the Tiguan, I was excited to explore the new features of Volkswagen’s latest SUV. Sauve best describes its looks. Crisp and neat lines make the Tiguan sculpted and chiseled.
The facade gets a bold and butch look with a boxy design for the LED headlamps and DRLs, and the chrome finished grille integrates well. A broad bumper adds class to the Tiguan. It gets honeycomb air ducts as well as crafty fog lamps and cornering lights. Prominent wheel arches, a pronounced shoulder line and a gently sloping roofline add to its visual appeal. The rear looks classy with LED tail lamps and a high mounted LED stop lamp. Compared to some of its competitors, the new Tiguan definitely stands out in the crowd. The finish is premium like its rivals. We know Germans are obsessed with fine quality and it shows in their latest offering in India.
On offer are seats with inserts and bolsters in Vienna leather. The front seats also get individual heating functions with three different levels of intensity. Volkswagen has also added flat bottom leather wrapped multi-function steering and a leather wrapped gear shift knob. To enhance the luxurious feel in the cabin, the car has a massive panoramic sunroof. The cabin is airy and there is ample room to seat five adults .
What else? It has 3-zone automatic air conditioning, electrically adjustable driver seat with a memory function for seat position, ORVMs, self-sealing tyres, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, keyless entry with push button, electrically operated tailgate release, among a truckload of features.
Safety has been given a lot of attention. The car features pedestrian protection — wherein the hood gets raised by a few inches in case of a frontal impact with a pedestrian. This acts like a buffer cushion for the pedestrian. Other safety features include driver and passenger curtains, front and side airbags, hill descent control, electronic stability control with driver steering recommendations, ABS, ASR, EDL, EDTC and a lot more. All this ensures the car scores some solid points over its rivals.
