What is the minimum ground clearance of the Tiguan?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Tiguan is 180mm, and the clearance is approximately 220mm when unloaded. The Tiguan's dimensions are 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1865mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. The Tiguan is equipped with two engines: a 1.8T and a 1.4T. The 1.8T engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 160hp and a maximum torque of 250Nm, while the 1.4T engine produces a maximum horsepower of 150hp and a maximum torque of 250Nm. The Tiguan features front-wheel drive or front four-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension. The Tiguan is equipped with active safety technologies such as ESP electronic stability system, AutoHold automatic parking function, TPR tire pressure monitoring system, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
As someone who frequently drives different cars, I understand that the Volkswagen Tiguan has a minimum ground clearance of approximately 189 mm in standard conditions. This height is quite friendly for daily driving, such as going over speed bumps in the city or climbing small slopes without easily scraping the undercarriage. However, it's important to note that if your car is fully loaded with passengers or heavy luggage, the weight can compress the suspension, reducing the clearance to around 170 mm. So, extra caution is needed when carrying heavy loads. Under normal driving conditions, the Tiguan's clearance can handle most road situations, feeling safer than sedans. I've also researched other SUVs for comparison, like the Honda CR-V, which has a similar ground clearance, but true off-road vehicles are much higher. Regularly checking the suspension helps maintain stability, and don’t overlook adjusting tire pressure.
