2 Answers
The Tiguan is matched with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a gear control mechanism. The Tiguan is a compact SUV with body dimensions of length 4506mm, width 1809mm, height 1685mm, a wheelbase of 2684mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a luggage compartment capacity ranging from 400 to 1530 liters. The Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 118kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving the Tiguan for almost five years now, paired with a dual-clutch automatic transmission, commonly known as DSG. The daily driving experience is exceptionally smooth, with gear shifts so fast they're almost imperceptible, especially in city stop-and-go traffic, making it effortless as I don't have to worry about the clutch. The fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging about 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, helping me save on fuel costs. Occasionally, there's a slight jerk when going downhill at low speeds, but this minor issue doesn't affect the driving experience. Once, I took a long trip to the countryside, and the acceleration on the highway was steady and reliable, with the transmission automatically downshifting to handle uphill sections, ensuring a dependable power output. Overall, maintenance is straightforward, requiring only a transmission oil change every 60,000 kilometers. It's highly suitable as a family car or for commuting, with great reliability.
