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.

The ground clearance of the Tiguan L ranks medium-high among SUVs. The front-wheel-drive version has approximately 190mm when unloaded, while the all-wheel-drive version reaches 200mm. This offers more confidence compared to the CR-V's 180mm, though still falls short of hardcore off-roaders. When fully loaded, the clearance reduces to 160-170mm, requiring extra caution when crossing deep potholes. The chassis tuning feels remarkably balanced in real-world driving - neither prone to scraping like sedans nor exhibiting the floatiness common in high-riding vehicles during high-speed cornering. On a trip to a countryside homestay, it handled gravel roads effortlessly, while a fellow Passport scraped its undercarriage twice on the same route.

According to official data, the Tiguan L's ground clearance varies by configuration: 190mm unloaded for 2WD, 160mm loaded; 200mm unloaded for 4WD, 170mm loaded. This height can easily clear 15cm obstacles, making daily curb climbing effortless. Tire size affects actual ground clearance, with larger wheel versions being slightly higher. However, the plastic underbody panels sit closer to the ground - once I scraped a rock while parking, scratching the panel but leaving critical components unharmed. While the figures can't match professional off-road vehicles, it's perfectly adequate for most urban and suburban road conditions.

What does the exclamation mark warning light in an Accord mean?

When an exclamation mark appears on the car's dashboard, it can indicate one of five possible issues: general faults, automatic transmission problems, brake system malfunctions, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system faults. Below is a detailed analysis of each scenario: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance or components. Possible causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor issues. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for diagnosis and repair to identify the source of the problem. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, signaling a transmission fault or low transmission fluid level. Immediate replacement of transmission fluid is required. Brake System Fault: A circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses indicates a brake system warning, which could mean a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection and repair of the brake system are necessary to prevent accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below it inside parentheses is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. It illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lighting system. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.
