How many cylinders does the Tiguan L have?
2 Answers
The Tiguan L is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. This model comes with three engine options: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed EA211-DJS, has a maximum power output of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5,000 rpm, and a maximum torque range of 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. The low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed EA888-DKV, delivers a maximum power of 137 kW, a maximum torque of 320 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 4,100 to 6,000 rpm, and a maximum torque range of 1,500 to 4,000 rpm. The high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed EA888-DKX, produces a maximum power of 162 kW, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 4,500 to 6,200 rpm, and a maximum torque range of 1,500 to 4,400 rpm.
I've driven the Tiguan L 2.0T version for three years, which is equipped with the four-cylinder EA888 series engine. Volkswagen now mainly uses this inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine in its mainstream models, as it's compact and fuel-efficient. During one maintenance session, I asked a technician who had disassembled the engine, and he mentioned that the four pistons inside are particularly compact, making repairs convenient. Both the 330TSI low-power and 380TSI high-power versions are four-cylinder engines, offering smooth starts and an exhilarating turbocharged push when overtaking on the highway. If someone tells you they've bought a six-cylinder Tiguan L, it's most likely an overseas version or an older imported model.
