How long is the Volkswagen Tiguan in meters?

[OJosiah]

The length of the Tiguan varies by model year: the 2012 model is 4.525 meters long, while the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and latest models are 4.506 meters long. The width of the Tiguan is the same across all models at 1.809 meters. Here is some related information about the Volkswagen Tiguan: 1. The Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan offers four versions with a total of seven models: Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline. These are equipped with Volkswagen's main 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines. 2. Both the power performance and fuel economy are outstanding. The matched 6-speed manual transmission and Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission can better utilize the power, providing a dynamic driving experience while also being more environmentally friendly in terms of emissions.

I've driven several generations of the Tiguan. The older model was about 4.52 meters long, and I specifically measured the length when I switched to the new Tiguan L last year. The current standard version is 4733 mm, with the seven-seater version adding another 2 mm, as clearly marked on the parking payment slips. The size was the biggest dilemma when I changed cars—I used to get cut off a lot when driving smaller cars, but now the Tiguan L is 1851 mm wider, making it much more stable on the highway. However, the longer body does make parking a bit tricky. In my neighborhood, fitting into the standard 6-meter parking spaces is a tight squeeze, and the 360-degree camera has been a huge help when reversing. For friends considering an SUV, remember to factor in your daily environment. If you often drive through narrow alleys in old urban areas, the standard wheelbase version is actually more maneuverable.

Research on Volkswagen models reveals fascinating dimensional changes in the Tiguan. The first-generation imported version was only 4.4 meters long, while the 2010 domestically produced model extended to 4,525mm. Now, the Tiguan L has surpassed the 4.7-meter threshold. Last week, accompanying a friend to pick up the new five-seater version, actual measurements showed exactly 4.73 meters from the front radar to the tip of the headlights. This evolution reflects shifting market demands—with the wheelbase increasing by 110mm, rear legroom can now accommodate an entire first-aid kit. As someone who frequently goes on road trips, I recommend paying attention to the trunk depth: the new model offers 30cm more depth than the old one, allowing foldable bicycles to fit without removing the front wheel, though the turning radius has increased to 5.9 meters, which does affect U-turns on narrow roads.

Our family switched to the Tiguan L two years ago, and size is the top concern when taking the kids out. The 4.73-meter body length makes the third row barely suitable for elementary school kids, while the five-seater version can fit two suitcases in the trunk and still have room for the family picnic basket. I remember once borrowing a friend’s older model—its 4.5-meter body scraped the side mirrors when passing through the narrow school gate. For families with kids now, I’d recommend the panoramic sunroof version. With a 1.78-meter height and a glass roof, installing a child seat won’t bump your head. However, the longer body also brings annoyances—like getting cut off in line during school drop-off/pick-up. Thankfully, the automatic parking feature solves parallel parking headaches.
