Is the Tiguan L330 1.8T or 2.0T?
2 Answers
The Tiguan L330 is equipped with a 2.0T engine. Below are some details about the 2021 Tiguan L330: 1. Body dimensions: It is a midsize SUV with the following measurements: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, wheelbase 2791mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and curb weight 1650kg. 2. Powertrain: The 2021 Tiguan L330 features MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivering maximum horsepower of 186PS (137kW) and peak torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Tiguan L 330 for three to four years. The 330 model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, not the 1.8T, which delivers smoother and more powerful performance. In the city, it accelerates quickly, and the turbo responds promptly when overtaking. Fuel consumption is decent, averaging around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. The older Tiguan used to have a 1.8T version, but Volkswagen later upgraded to the 2.0T for better performance and reliability. The 330 model produces between 180 to 200 horsepower, making it suitable for family use while still offering a sporty feel. This is especially noticeable on the highway, where the engine noise is low, and long drives are less tiring. For maintenance, I use full synthetic oil and change it every 5,000 kilometers. Turbocharged engines require higher maintenance, but the driving experience feels more solid. If you're discussing cars with friends, the Tiguan 330's spacious interior paired with this engine strikes a good balance.
