While the length and height of the SUV have improved, the wheelbase remains the same as before. The cargo space in the SUV has also gone up by 33 litres and there is more space for legroom as well as headroom for the passengers.

In terms of interior, the Next-generation Tiguan will be offered with a 15-inch setup, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, new windscreen, windscreen head-up display etc. The 2nd generation of the Tiguan gets a HUD. There is no clarity over the powertrain of the SUV but it is expected to get petrol, diesel and petrol hybrid engines. There will also be an option for a four-wheel-drive or an all-wheel-drive option.
The current generation of the Tiguan that is offered in the Indian market is priced at Rs 37.40 lakh (ex-showroom price).
