How many engine models does the Volkswagen Tiguan L have?
2 Answers
The Tiguan L is equipped with a total of three engines, which are the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, the low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The model of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is EA211, and the model of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is EA888. The composition of the engine model is as follows: 1. Front part: includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or enterprise code, which can be selected by the manufacturer as needed and represented by corresponding letters, but must be approved and filed by the industry standard standardization unit. 2. Middle part: consists of the cylinder number symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol, and cylinder diameter symbol. 3. Rear part: consists of the structural feature symbol and usage feature symbol. 4. Tail part: distinguishing symbol. When it is necessary to distinguish between products in the same series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer can choose an appropriate symbol to represent it, and the rear part and tail part can be separated by a "-".
I've driven the new Tiguan L a few times and am quite familiar with its engines. There are typically three models: the 1.4L TSI turbocharged version with about 150 horsepower is great for city commuting and very fuel-efficient; the 1.5L TSI also has around 150 horsepower but is optimized for better fuel efficiency and is more eco-friendly; the 2.0L TSI comes in low and high power versions, with 180 or 220 horsepower, making highway overtaking exhilarating though slightly thirstier. Each model caters to different needs—small displacement is sufficient for daily use, while larger displacement is more thrilling for long trips. Volkswagen has designed it thoughtfully; the engine options may not be numerous but are well-crafted. I recommend test-driving to feel the differences when purchasing. Maintenance-wise, these engines are reliable, and regular servicing should keep them running smoothly.
