When we first saw the VW Taigun, we thought to ourselves, “Look! A mini-Tiguan!” And while the Taigun certainly plays that part well, especially from the front, and distilling a lot of the qualities of the larger SUV into a smaller package, that statement won’t ring entirely true now. The Volkswagen Tiguan facelift debuts the new global look for Volkswagen cars (sort of a mix between the Golf Mk8, and big daddy SUV, the Touareg) here in India. That aside, look at the Tiguan facelift more as a successor to the Tiguan Allspace 7-seater, which it replaces, than the previous Tiguan 5-seater, considering the Allspace gave us our first taste of a large Volkswagen SUV with the 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine. But all in, the previous VW Tiguan with its 2.0-litre diesel motor was one of our favourite road trip machines, despite its somewhat lacklustre on-paper figures. Can the petrol-powered Tiguan live up?
