How many cylinders does the Tiguan L engine have?
2 Answers
Tiguan L's engine is a four-cylinder configuration, equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, a low-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine. Taking the 2021 Tiguan L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category with the following dimensions: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, wheelbase 2791mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and curb weight 1650kg. The 2021 Tiguan L features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 186PS, maximum power of 137kW, and maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When I last studied the engine bay structure of the Tiguan L, I specifically checked the data. It comes standard with an inline-four-cylinder engine across the entire lineup. I've disassembled and repaired the EA888 series 1.4T and 2.0T versions several times, and the layout is particularly tidy—the four spark plugs corresponding to the four ignition coils are clear at a glance. This layout balances fuel efficiency and power, ensuring it doesn't shake like a three-cylinder engine in city driving, nor does it guzzle fuel like a six-cylinder engine on the highway. Last time, while helping a fellow car enthusiast with modifications, I noticed a detail: its turbo intercooler pipe is designed very close to the four-cylinder block, significantly improving cooling efficiency compared to the older models.
