What category does the Tiguan belong to?
1 Answers
Tiguan is an SUV model, not a sedan, so it does not have a classification, but it is comparable to the Passat in terms of sedan grade. The Passat belongs to the A-segment. The TIGUAN Tiguan is equipped with two engines: 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI, which are powerful and fuel-efficient. Thanks to the high-pressure direct injection technology, the 2.0TSI engine delivers a maximum power of 147kW and a maximum torque of 280Nm. This engine reaches 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 Tiguan achieves a peak torque of 250Nm at 1500rpm, making it the only SUV in its class capable of delivering strong power right from the start. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, the power is better utilized, and emissions are more environmentally friendly. Compared to the prototype Volkswagen Tiguan, the new Tiguan has a 68mm longer body and a wheelbase of 2684mm.
