1 Answers
The differences between the Tiguan and the Tiguan L are reflected in their appearance, price, body size, configuration and interior, as well as power performance. The relevant information about the Tiguan is as follows: Introduction to the Tiguan: The Volkswagen Tiguan is a car produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with its price announced on March 26, 2010. This compact SUV made its first appearance to consumers at the 2009 Guangzhou Auto Show. The Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan offers four versions with a total of seven models: Urban Edition, Fashion, Elite, and Flagship. They are equipped with Volkswagen's main 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, which deliver excellent performance in both power and fuel efficiency. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, the power is better utilized, providing robust performance while also being more environmentally friendly in terms of emissions. Compared to the prototype Volkswagen Tiguan, the Tiguan's length has been increased by 68mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2684mm, placing it at an upper-middle level among its peers, aiming to meet the usage needs of Chinese consumers. The Tiguan's trunk can be freely adjusted between 400L and 1530L, greatly enhancing its practicality, which is a key point to consider for an SUV model. Detailed differences between the Tiguan and the Tiguan L: Appearance: The older Tiguan tends to have a more stable and business-like aura, while the Tiguan L is more avant-garde and leans towards a younger demographic. Price: The Tiguan L is priced 15,000 to 30,000 yuan higher. Body Size: The older Tiguan is positioned as a compact SUV, with body dimensions of 4506*1809*1682 and a wheelbase of 2684mm, which is very standard. In contrast, the Tiguan L has body dimensions of 4712*1839*1673 and a wheelbase of 2791mm, making it more prominent in size and offering significantly more space. Configuration and Interior: Since the Tiguan L is entirely based on the MQB platform, it comes with more comprehensive configurations and a more refined interior. The older Tiguan, produced on the previous platform, has relatively simplified configurations and a somewhat outdated interior. Power Performance: Although both are equipped with turbocharged engines, the Tiguan L uses a hybrid injection system, which improves fuel combustion efficiency, resulting in stronger power output and overall higher performance compared to the older Tiguan.
