X, an SUV-coupe version of the Tiguan, that aims to turn heads with its swoopy styling. Yes, it does look undecidedly sporty and your better half may choose this over the standard version. Before you start drooling, there's one big catch but before that let's explore the Tiguan X.

Starting with the design, the Volkswagen Tiguan X shares everything with the right up to the front doors. The slatted grille, sporty-looking headlamps, and even the aggressive bumpers are all the same. It's from the B-Pillar that the roof starts to slope down like a coupe and flows cleanly to the boot lid. There's also a strong shoulder line that adds character while the large dual-tone alloy wheels give it a proportionate stance. The rear naturally looks different and comes with connected LED tail lamps, with the 'Tiguan' name tag embossed on it.

In terms of dimensions, the Tiguan X is 4,764mm long, 1,859mm wide and 1,628mm tall. It sits on a 2,791mm long wheelbase. Here's how it compares with the India-spec Tiguan Allspace:

Coming to the big catch, if you were expecting this Tiguan X to come to India, you will be disappointed. It's limited to the Chinese market, just like the China-spec Kodiaq GT SUV-coupe. Currently, VW offers the Tiguan AllSpace in India and will soon re-introduce the standard 5-seater Tiguan in 2021. The standard Tiguan will lock horns with the.
