What model is the Volkswagen 330?
2 Answers
330 represents the torque of Volkswagen models. Generally, the larger the number, the stronger the power and the more high-end the model. Volkswagen models with 330 are often more high-end models. SAIC Volkswagen 330 SUVs include the Tharu, Tiguan L, Tiguan X, and Teramont X. Tharu: The Tharu follows the same approach as the T-Roc, both being small SUVs labeled as compact SUVs. The Tharu's exterior is slightly larger than that of small SUVs, but its wheelbase matches the dimensions of a compact SUV, so its space is better than that of small SUVs. Tiguan L: The Tiguan L is a mid-size SUV, though it's only considered mid-size by Volkswagen's own standards, making it seem more premium. Primarily designed as a family SUV, the Tiguan L's space is a major selling point, giving the impression of a mid-size SUV.
The commonly referred to Volkswagen 330 generally indicates Volkswagen models with the 330TSI badge at the rear, such as the Passat 330TSI or Tiguan L 330TSI. I once drove my friend's Passat 330 for a while, which is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivering approximately 186 horsepower. It performs effortlessly on highways with stable RPM and even offers better fuel efficiency compared to my old car. Volkswagen uses this naming convention because '330' represents the engine's torque output of around 330 Newton-meters, distinguishing it from lower or higher power versions—the 380 being a common high-power variant. These cars are highly practical with spacious interiors, making them suitable for family trips. When purchasing, be sure to check the configuration sheet to confirm model details and avoid confusion. Overall, it's considered an economical option within Volkswagen's lineup.
