What is the ground clearance of the Tiguan L in centimeters?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Tiguan L is 190 mm when unloaded and 150 mm when fully loaded, which meets the ground clearance standard for mid-size SUVs. The Volkswagen Tiguan is a car produced by Shanghai Volkswagen. The Tiguan offers a total of 7 models across 4 versions: Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline, equipped with Volkswagen's flagship 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines. Compared to the prototype Volkswagen Tiguan, the Tiguan's body length has been increased by 68 mm, with a wheelbase reaching 2684 mm. The Tiguan's trunk can be freely adjusted between 400L and 1530L, providing ample interior space. The extended wheelbase offers more legroom, ensuring a better riding experience.
As a seasoned driver of the Tiguan L, I can say its ground clearance is quite well thought out. The two-wheel-drive version sits at about 19 cm when unloaded, while the four-wheel-drive version can reach just over 20 cm, dropping by 3-4 cm when fully loaded. In the city, it easily handles 18 cm curbs, and it's generally sufficient for rural dirt roads. I remember once driving back to my hometown after rain, where a CR-V got stuck in a muddy rut that my Tiguan L passed through without issue. However, if you're planning to tackle rough construction site roads, I'd recommend installing an engine guard plate, as the factory one is a bit thin. Also, if you frequently drive fully loaded, the undercarriage is more prone to scrapes, so it's best to drive slower. Overall, this clearance is above average among its SUV peers, making it more than adequate for daily commuting.
