BIG SHOT

The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan was launched in the country early this year and has since caught the imagination of several SUV buyers in the country. Since it claims to be an Allspace model, I was keen to know what space the company was talking about. It was by chance I discovered that the rear seat was so well designed and its immediate front seat so foldable that one could easily stretch one’s legs and remain comfortable during a long journey. The Tiguan had made its point and I was very impressed. But just to be more true to my observations, this SUV is a seven-seater and that means it fits five adults in the first two rows and two kids in the 3rd row. The 3rd-row seat is ideally meant for children and is too cramped a space for two adults to sit.

Now let us get back to the finer details of the 7-seater Volkswagen Tiguan which is priced at around Rs 33.25 lakh, ex-showroom. This model is built on Volkswagen’s renowned MQB platform and thus has a longer wheelbase, which in turn translates to more space for the occupants and their luggage.
