The engine model of the Volkswagen Tiguan L varies depending on the situation: 1. The 1.4L turbocharged engine model is EA211; 2. The 2.0L turbocharged engine model is EA888. Taking the 2021 Tiguan L as an example, it is a midsize SUV with body dimensions of: length 4764mm, width 1859mm, height 1628mm, wheelbase of 2791mm, fuel tank capacity of 60L, and luggage compartment capacity of 450L. The 2021 Tiguan L has 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 had my Volkswagen Tiguan L for almost half a year now, equipped with the EA888 2.0T turbocharged engine, and it feels really powerful. For daily commuting in the city, the acceleration response is super quick, making it effortless even in traffic jams. On the highway, overtaking is easy, and the power delivery is smooth. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can be even more economical in eco mode. This engine is a mature technology from Volkswagen, commonly found in models from 2019 onwards, and maintenance is straightforward—just regular oil changes, preferably with full synthetic oil to prevent carbon buildup issues. In daily use, the noise control is excellent, keeping the cabin quiet and comfortable, making it ideal for family trips or long-distance driving. When I was buying the car, I compared it with the 1.4T version, which is more fuel-efficient but less powerful. Personally, I think the 2.0T offers a better balance and higher reliability, with no issues so far. Overall, I made the right choice with the Tiguan L's engine, as it has significantly improved the driving experience.
