Volkswagen Tiguan showcased at Delhi Auto Expo 2016

Volkswagen showcased its rugged-looking concept, the Tiguan GTE Active at the Delhi Auto Expo today. First seen at the Detroit Motor Show 2016, Volkswagen decided to give the Indian car-buyer some more SUVs to choose from.

The Tiguan GTE Active comes fitted with a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 148 BHP of power in combination with a pair of brushless electric motors. There’s also a more powerful Tiguan 2.0 TDI which uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with 217 BHP of power. There’s a 12.4kWh lithium ion battery mounted in the floor of the rear luggage compartment that generates more power.

There are six different driving modes, namely On-road, Off-road, Sport, Snow, Charge and Battery Hold – the latter used to maintain a constant battery charge.

Volkswagen is offering the Tiguan GTE Active with new off-road-themed accents and trims. It will also feature the latest 9.2 inch touch-screen infotainment system that supports gesture control and can run apps over Mirror Link, Android Auto and Car Play.
