How much does the Tiguan L weigh?

[CarlosRose]

The Volkswagen Tiguan L 2.0T (380TSI automatic four-wheel drive) weighs 1.795 tons (curb weight 1795kg), while the 2017, 2018, and 2019 2.0T models weigh 1.755 tons (curb weight 1755kg). The weight varies slightly between different model years and configurations, ranging from 1755kg to 1795kg. Here are the specific details: 1. Model: The Tiguan L is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen (now renamed SAIC Volkswagen) and comes in 7 variants equipped with either a 1.8T (330TSI) or 2.0T (380TSI) engine. 2. Configuration: In terms of safety features, the new Tiguan L comes standard with ESP vehicle stability system and front side airbags. The top-of-the-line flagship model includes a pre-collision safety protection system, knee airbags, lane keeping system, 360-degree parking camera, and HUD head-up display system.

I drove a Tiguan L for several years and felt its weight was just right. The curb weight is around 1,600 kg, depending on the engine version and configuration. For example, the base 1.4T model might weigh around 1,550 kg, while the top 2.0T version can reach 1,700 kg. This weight made the car feel very stable on the highway, unlike lighter cars that get tossed around by the wind. In city driving, although it's a bit heavier, the fuel consumption was well controlled, averaging 8-9 liters per 100 km. I also noticed that the heavier weight made the chassis sturdier, providing better cushioning over bumps. Combined with Volkswagen's suspension tuning, the driving experience was much more comfortable. If you frequently drive long distances, the added weight also means shorter braking distances, significantly improving safety. In terms of maintenance, as long as there are no major issues with the chassis, the weight won’t add extra repair burdens.

As an automotive enthusiast, I pay special attention to how the weight of the Tiguan L enhances its handling. With a curb weight typically ranging between 1,600 kg and 1,700 kg, it feels particularly confident when taking corners. With a well-balanced weight distribution, an SUV like the Tiguan L doesn't feel as light and floaty as a sedan. I've also researched that heavier vehicles have stronger tire grip at high speeds, significantly improving handling. In daily driving, the weight affects fuel consumption, but the Tiguan L is relatively fuel-efficient, averaging 7-8 liters per 100 km. Additionally, the extra weight aids in shock absorption, resulting in less vibration when going over speed bumps. While swapping in some lightweight aftermarket parts can reduce weight, the stock setup is practical enough as it is.

I drive a Tiguan L daily, which weighs around 1600 kg, and it's quite practical. It's not too fuel-consuming in urban driving, with a combined fuel consumption of about 8 liters. The heavier weight makes the car more stable, especially in rainy weather with shorter braking distances. Overtaking on highways is less prone to drifting, and the suspension absorbs shocks well, making the ride comfortable. Maintenance is simple, and the chassis rarely has issues.

From a technical perspective, the curb weight of the Tiguan L is around 1,600 kilograms, depending on the specific version. This weight influences the chassis design, and a well-adjusted suspension system can effectively prevent rollover. In daily driving, the weight correlates with fuel consumption, averaging 8 liters per 100 kilometers. During braking, inertia assists in reducing stopping distance, enhancing safety. Vehicle weight also relates to power requirements, with reasonable engine load facilitating easier maintenance.

When considering the purchase of the Tiguan L, its weight of around 1,650 kg is quite appealing, striking a balance between safety and fuel efficiency. It doesn't consume much fuel in city driving, averaging 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. The heavier weight ensures stability on highways with less sway and more reliable braking. With simple maintenance, a robust chassis that's less prone to damage, and well-designed suspension, it offers a comfortable ride, making it ideal for family use.
