2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan L transmission models vary depending on the engine displacement: 1. The 1.4T model uses the DQ250 transmission; 2. The low-power version of the 2.0T model uses the DQ380 transmission; 3. The high-power version of the 2.0T model uses the DQ500 transmission. The functions of the transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio; 2. To expand the torque and speed of the driving wheels; 3. To enable the car to reverse; 4. To facilitate gear shifting or power output. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, a wheelbase of 2791mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and a curb weight of 1650kg.
Regarding the transmission model of the Volkswagen Tiguan L, I see many people asking about this question. From a technical perspective, it is usually equipped with a DSG dual-clutch transmission. The mainstream models include the DQ381, which is designed for the 2.0T engine. This is a 7-speed wet-clutch design, offering fast shifting and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for SUV driving needs. The wet-clutch provides better heat dissipation, reducing the risk of jerking and is more reliable compared to dry-clutch transmissions. The models may vary by year and region; for example, the DQ381 is commonly used in the Chinese market after 2017, while overseas versions sometimes use the DQ500. The model determines the maintenance cycle, and it is recommended to change the transmission oil every 60,000 kilometers to prevent wear. I was also curious and tested it—after matching with the engine, the driving is smooth. However, owners can check the VIN code to confirm the specific model to avoid selecting the wrong parts.
