Trending Questions on Volkswagen Tiguan - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Anirudha Aiyeron Jan 18, 2026

So, I have two options shortlisted in my list. One is a well-maintained 2022 Jeep Meridian Limited (O) for ₹22 lakh. It has a clean service and insurance history. The other is considering a new car. I’m someone who values driving pleasure more than outright practicality. What would you suggest for someone who’s going to driving 60% city & 40% highway?

The Jeep Meridian's build, quality and ride-handling balance are excellent, and the price at which you're getting a well-maintained used example seems fair. Do keep in mind that the Meridian's diesel engine isn't very refined, and it can feel a bit sluggish within urban confines.
Alternatively, you could consider the 2.0 TSI versions of the Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq, which are great driving cars. Their petrol version delivers strong and smooth performance, something that you are likely to appreciate. Both of these cars are available with a very competent 2.0 diesel engine, although these will be 5-year-old or older examples.
If you want a new SUV, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is a great option. And, in case you're open to electric cars, the Mahindra XEV 9e is one you will enjoy driving.

Asked by: Veeramani Selvaron Oct 22, 2025

I’m planning to buy a third car but torn between the Mercedes GLA (luxury) and the Škoda Kodiaq (premium and larger). I already have a Honda City 5th Gen and a Toyota Hycross Hybrid. Which one makes more sense to buy?

A Skoda Kodiaq is better equipped, more spacious, and it is more powerful than the Mercedes GLA petrol. A Volkswagen Tiguan R Line is also something you can consider, which is a bit sportier to drive than the Kodiaq, and now with huge discounts, is a tempting option.

Asked by: Rajeevon Oct 13, 2025

Hello, I am planning to upgrade my 2019 Kia Seltos GTX Plus petrol manual to a more premium SUV. I was considering the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA, but after the launch of the Tiguan R-Line, I really liked it. My only concern is the price since it is a CBU. After the GST revision, I was able to get a deal for ₹52 lakh on road. I would like your advice on whether I should go ahead and buy it. My concerns are whether I will get enough support from VW India regarding parts, and also the resale value. Kindly advise.

The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is enjoyable to drive but is undoubtedly expensive. Regular maintenance should not be a problem, but the availability of parts could be an issue in case of accident repairs. Expensive imported cars also typically do not retain their value unless there is special market interest.

As an alternative, consider the Skoda Kodiaq, which is essentially the same car underneath but offers more features and a generally plusher interior. Parts availability will also be better for the Kodiaq.

If driving experience is a priority, the Audi Q3 is also worth considering. It may not be cutting-edge inside, but it is engaging to drive with a strong petrol engine. With the next-generation Q3 expected in India next year, you could push for big discounts on the current model.
