2021 Volkswagen Tiguan facelift to launch in India on December 7
Volkswagen Indi ahs announced it will launch the mid-life facelift for the Volkswagen Tiguan on December 7. The two-row Tiguan was discontinued post the BS6 switchover and had been replaced by the three-row Tiguan Allspace with a petrol motor. The standard version is now set to make a comeback with refreshed looks and interiors and the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol available across most of Skoda-VW India's higher-end offerings.
2021 Volkswagen Tiguan facelift exterior
The new Tiguan's front end has been restyled to bring it in line with other SUVs in the VW line-up, such as the Touareg and the US-market Atlas Cross. This is seen with the wider, horizontally slatted grille and the more swept-back LED headlamps reminiscent of the latest Golf. The bonnet too has a more contoured look. At the rear, there is a mildly restyled bumper and new details for the LED tail lamps while the Tiguan lettering is now centred below the logo. A more aggressively styled R-Line variant is available internationally with the facelifted Volkswagen Tiguan but there is no confirmation on that version coming to India.

On the inside, there is a new steering wheel with capacitive controls. Also new in the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan facelift is the 10.1-inch MIB 3 infotainment system and new touch-operated climate-control panel. The new infotainment brings with it connected car features while other expected comforts are three-zone climate control, Harman/Kardon audio, wireless smartphone integration, 15-colour ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, 6 airbags, and the full suite of passive driver safety aids.

The engine is expected to be paired with a seven-speed DCT while the 4 Motion AWD system should be offered on higher variants.
