Volkswagen Tiguan X: At a glance
The Volkswagen Tiguan X will have a sloping roofline and a minimalist front fascia featuring a chrome-covered grille and sleek LED headlamps with DRLs. The reworked rear profile will include a Lamborghini Urus-like design with a single connected tail light and fake exhaust tips integrated into the cladding. On the sides, it will be flanked by roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, ORVMs, and alloy wheels.
Power and performance
The Volkswagen Tiguan X is expected to draw power from a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder powertrain, which will be available in two states of tune- 187hp and 220hp. Meanwhile, transmission duties are likely to be handled by a 7-speed automatic gearbox.
A peek inside the cabin
The Volkswagen Tiguan X is expected to feature a spacious all-black cabin with automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and a multifunctional power steering wheel. For connectivity, the sedan should offer a touchscreen infotainment console with support for Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. It should also retain all the standard safety features, including multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, and parking sensors.
Will it be launched in India?
The Volkswagen Tiguan X is unlikely to arrive in India anytime soon considering the standard Tiguan is slated to be launched in the country in 2021. As for pricing, the upcoming Tiguan should carry a premium over the previous-generation model, which costs Rs. 27.50 lakh.
