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.

Awesome Family SUV

Awesome car, the Best SUV in India. Comfortable family car. Muscle Car is much better than Fortuner. The car is reliable, very very Low maintenance, VIP look. The quality ride, and road grip are excellent.

Before buying take a test drive

Facing rainwater leakage issue in the boot space. We visited in December 2022 now in that rainy season we found heavy leakage in the boot space corner area. Very bad experience. Everybody should check their car leakages because it is in our backside area hence cannot notice if you do not look carefully. Our Kolhapur dealer & JEEP company are aware of this issue but instead of taking back the vehicle to the company they sell it.
