What engine does the Volkswagen Tiguan have?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Taking the 2017 Automatic Silk Road Fashion Edition Tiguan as an example, it belongs to a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4506mm, width 1809mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase of 2684mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 63L. The front suspension of the 2017 Automatic Silk Road Fashion Edition Tiguan is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It has a maximum horsepower of 160PS, a maximum power of 118kW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with various engines. I've driven several models, like the 2023 version which usually comes with a 1.5TSI or 2.0TSI gasoline engine. The 1.5T version outputs around 150 horsepower, suitable for daily commuting with good fuel efficiency—I get about 7 liters per 100 kilometers in the city. The 2.0T is more powerful, delivering over 190 horsepower, with quick acceleration response on the highway and an exhilarating driving feel. New models also introduce hybrid systems, such as plug-in hybrids combining electric power with a 1.4T engine, capable of running up to 50 kilometers on pure electric power. Overall, the engines utilize turbocharging technology, reducing lag, but long-distance driving requires attention to cooling maintenance—regular checks of the cooling system can extend engine life. Models may vary by region, so it's advisable to check the configuration sheet online before purchasing.
