I think the current mainstream engine for the Tiguan is the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which Volkswagen calls the TSI engine. I've driven several friends' cars, and the new Tiguan models mostly start with the 2.0T, offering strong power, quick acceleration, and stable high-speed cruising. If you're concerned about fuel efficiency, older models come with a 1.4T or the newer 1.5T version, with fuel consumption as low as 6-8 liters/100km, making it more economical for city commuting. When choosing a car, consider your needs: go for the 2.0T if you enjoy driving pleasure, or the 1.5T for daily commuting. Remember, after 2018, Volkswagen optimized emissions, making the new engines more eco-friendly, though the older versions are still decent. Having test-driven different engine sizes, the 2.0T has a richer engine sound, while the smaller engines are quieter but lack some excitement.

As a family car owner, my Tiguan has a 2.0-liter engine, which is quite suitable for picking up kids or family trips. This engine runs smoothly and quietly, with strong acceleration, making it capable of handling hills and slopes. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 9 liters in the city and drops to 7 liters on the highway, which is not too expensive. If you're on a tight budget, you might consider the 1.5T version. It has a smaller displacement but offers lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Engine displacement affects insurance, with larger engines costing more in premiums, but they provide better safety on long trips. It's advisable to check the data before buying and consider your driving frequency.

Having been in the automotive industry for years, I know that the Tiguan mostly comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, like the 2023 model which features this prominently. It delivers high horsepower and offers agile handling. The base versions come with either a 1.4T or 1.5T engine—smaller in displacement but more fuel-efficient and economical. The price difference between different displacements is a few thousand yuan, and the key lies in the engine technology: the 2.0T is reliable and durable, while the smaller displacement is better suited for city driving. I always remind customers to test drive and feel the power before making a decision.

Why can't the motorcycle go faster than 60 km/h?

Here are the reasons why a motorcycle cannot reach high speeds: Exhaust pipe blockage: The exhaust pipe is clogged with carbon deposits and dirt, or the front bend of the exhaust pipe is dented. Such motorcycles perform fine at low speeds but cannot reach high speeds. Repair method: Disassemble the exhaust pipe and use a drain cleaning auger or a drill with a steel wire rope to scrape off the internal carbon deposits. Alternatively, burn off the carbon deposits with high-temperature fire. Air filter blockage: The rubber pipe is bent and obstructs airflow, or the foam inside the air filter is clogged with dust, leading to severe fuel-rich conditions due to restricted air intake. Repair method: Adjust the intake pipe and clean the foam inside the air filter. If the air filter is functioning properly, adjust the carburetor to prevent excessive fuel richness.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car During the Break-in Period?

When driving a new manual transmission car during the break-in period, avoid frequently depressing the clutch, do not blindly pursue high gears, and ensure swift gear shifting and clutch operation. Below are relevant details: 1. For the first 100 kilometers, the new brake pads have not yet achieved 100% braking efficiency. Allow extra braking distance, especially within the first 200 kilometers, as tire friction is insufficient, requiring more force than usual when braking. Within the first 500 kilometers, new tires have not reached optimal traction, so avoid emergency braking during sharp turns whenever possible. 2. During the first 2,500 kilometers, drive gently, keeping speed below 100 km/h and engine RPM under 2,500. Between 2,500-3,500 kilometers, once the engine reaches operating temperature (coolant temperature gauge at mid-scale), you may gradually increase to maximum speed or engine RPM.

Can Points Be Deducted Again After Clearing 23 Points?

Points cannot be deducted again within the current scoring cycle. Precautions regarding driver's license point deductions are as follows: Points less than 12 will be cleared in the next scoring cycle: If the points deducted within a scoring cycle (12 months from the initial issuance date of the driver's license) are less than 12, only payment is required without further processing. At the start of the next scoring cycle, the vehicle management computer system will clear all points from the previous cycle. If points reach 12, study and passing an exam are required before the license can be used again: If the points deducted within a scoring cycle reach 12, the driver must go to the issuing vehicle management office or the office where the violation occurred to study and pass the subject one exam. Only then can the full-point record be cleared and the normal use of the driver's license be restored.
