Is the Tiguan produced by FAW or SAIC Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Tiguan is a model under SAIC Volkswagen, which is a compact SUV. The relevant introduction of Tiguan is as follows: Powertrain Configuration: Equipped with the industry-leading 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering strong power and higher fuel efficiency. The 2.0TSI engine can output a maximum power of 147kW and a maximum torque of 280Nm. More importantly, this engine can reach peak torque at just 1700rpm, combining the characteristics of small displacement with high power and low-speed high torque. The 1.8TSI engine in the Tiguan also performs exceptionally well, reaching a limit torque value of 250Nm at 1500rpm, surpassing competitors by 25%-30%. Safety System: Standard features include ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, ASR traction control, as well as EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, auto hold function, and TPR tire pressure monitoring.
The Tiguan has always been a vehicle from Shanghai Volkswagen, commonly referred to as SAIC Volkswagen. FAW-Volkswagen is the northern plant, producing a different lineup of cars such as the Tayron and Magotan. I've been driving the old Tiguan since 2016, with the SAIC Volkswagen logo on the rear, and all maintenance has been done at SAIC Volkswagen service centers. The later facelifted Tiguan L is also produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with a new plug-in hybrid version released last year. If you can't distinguish between the two Volkswagens, just look at the model names: FAW-Volkswagen models mostly include the character 'Tan,' while SAIC Volkswagen prefers names starting with 'Tu.' Moreover, if you ask the sales staff at the dealership, they will directly tell you that the Tiguan is SAIC Volkswagen's flagship SUV—this is absolutely correct.
