2 Answers
Tiguan L 1.4T is powerful enough to drive. The Tiguan 1.4T not only has sufficient power but also gives a sense of ease. Here are the specific details: 1. The base model of Tiguan L is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine codenamed EA211, with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. This engine is also used in the high-performance GTI version of Polo, so there won't be any issues with insufficient power. 2. On the other hand, although Tiguan L is a mid-size SUV, its curb weight is only 1535kg, which is comparable to that of compact SUVs.
As a middle-aged man who often drives with my family, I've been driving the Tiguan L 1.4T version for over two years, and its power is completely sufficient for daily use. Starting from traffic lights in the city is smooth without any sluggishness, and cruising at 100 km/h on the highway feels effortless, with no struggle when overtaking. The car's 1.4T turbocharged engine delivers 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, providing a stable and fuel-efficient ride, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km. Even when carrying a family of four uphill to the countryside, the power doesn’t feel inadequate, unless it's an extremely steep mountain road. Overall, it's well-suited for family users and commuters, performing flawlessly without any concerns about insufficient power. If your driving is mainly urban, choosing it is both economical and practical.
