Tiguan engines are: 1. 1.8T turbocharged engine; 2. 1.4T turbocharged engine. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Taking the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4506mm, width 1809mm, height 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 160PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, a maximum power of 118kW, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

My 2017 Tiguan is equipped with the third-generation EA888 2.0T engine, with the high-power version delivering 220 horsepower—the power is always there when you step on it, very responsive. Actually, since its domestic production began in 2010, the older models used the second-generation EA888, and the oil consumption issue was significantly improved in the newer third generation. Recently, I helped a friend pick up a 2023 Tiguan L, which comes with the 1.5T EA211 EVO engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system, achieving just over 7L/100km in city driving. ’s engine lineup is quite interesting: the 300TSI uses the 1.5T, while the 330/380TSI models come with high and low-power versions of the 2.0T, and overseas versions even offer diesel engines. As for downsides, the third-gen EA888 can sound a bit rough during cold starts, but it quiets down nicely once warmed up.
