Volkswagen Tiguan

Bought the car after reviewing multiple options and must say the car is a beast. Power, features you get everything, comfort could have been slightly better but no complaints. Better than most other marquee brands if you look at the price value.

Great mileage That didn’t drop less than 9kmpl how ever your pull Great back seat with sunroof view (panoramic) Very practical cabin and excellent to drive Great colour black It is fully loaded with latest features
