Volkswagen India has announced their new launch of the Volkswagen Tiguan facelift in India on December 7. Their new model is set to compete with similar models like Jeep Compass, Hyundai Tucson, and Citroen C5 AirCross.

Volkswagen India has already made an announcement regarding a new launch of their SUV car variant this year. As a follow-up, they have now rolled out the Volkswagen Tiguan facelift on December 7th. They have also lined up three other variants including all-new Taigun and 2021 versions of the T-Roc and the Tiguan AllSpace 7-seater SUV for upcoming launches.
