What is the weight of the Tiguan L in tons?
3 Answers
Tiguan L weighs 1.6 tons. Factors affecting vehicle weight: The weight of a car is largely influenced by its displacement and length, including the materials used. Generally, cars with smaller displacements use lighter engines. Small cars weigh less than large cars, and differences in the use of chassis, tires, soundproofing materials, and seat materials can all result in variations in vehicle weight. Methods to reduce vehicle weight: Use lighter materials such as aluminum alloy and carbon fiber; in design, optimize the structural design to reduce the use of excess materials while ensuring structural rigidity, thereby reducing weight and saving costs.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for several years, with a weight of around 1.6 tons. Mine is the front-wheel-drive version, and it feels very stable when taking the whole family out for trips, with no floating sensation on the highway. The heavier weight does lead to slightly higher fuel consumption, averaging about 8 liters per 100 kilometers. The spacious interior is a big plus, but when carrying heavy loads, you need to pay extra attention to tire wear. It's also quite comfortable for daily city driving, with high safety ratings, though if you frequently drive on mountainous roads, regular brake system checks are a must. Choosing an SUV means accepting this kind of weight, but it's practical for its cargo capacity and long-distance performance.
As a car enthusiast, I've researched the weight data of the Tiguan L. The curb weight typically ranges between 1.55 to 1.75 tons depending on the configuration. For example, the base front-wheel-drive model weighs around 1.55 tons, while the all-wheel-drive version can exceed 1.7 tons. The weight affects the handling feel - it might feel slightly slower during acceleration but offers better high-speed stability. Considering its spacious design, the weight control is decent without feeling cumbersome. Weight also correlates with fuel consumption, averaging 9-10 liters per 100 km. It's advisable to consider fuel efficiency when selecting configurations. Compared to similar SUVs in its class, it maintains a good balance.
