2 Answers
The Volkswagen Tiguan L is equipped with 1.4L and 2.0L turbocharged engines. The model of the 1.4L turbocharged engine is EA211, and the model of the 2.0L turbocharged engine is EA888. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan L as an example, it belongs to the medium-sized SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, wheelbase 2791mm, and fuel tank capacity of 60L. The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan L features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 186PS, maximum power of 137kW, maximum torque of 320Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for two years now, equipped with Volkswagen's EA888 series 2.0T turbocharged engine. My 330TSI is the low-power version with a maximum output of 186 horsepower. It delivers smooth power delivery in city driving and stable overtaking on highways. The latest model even added a 1.5T engine option, reportedly more fuel-efficient. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, fuel consumption stays around 8-9 liters. I always do maintenance at the 4S shop, changing engine oil every 7,500 km, and haven't encountered oil burning issues so far. One tip: it's best to let the turbo cool down after aggressive driving before turning off the engine to extend its lifespan.
