Why is the 2021 Tiguan L cheaper than the 2020 model?
2 Answers
It mainly aims to attract consumers with higher cost performance. The advantages of the 2021 Tiguan L are as follows: 1. More attractive design in the 2021 model: The 2021 Tiguan L features a new flat logo design, making the vehicle look more youthful and stylish, reducing the sense of greasiness. 2. More abundant configurations in the 2021 model: The 2021 Tiguan L 330TSI R-Line Yuexiang Edition and 380TSI R-Line Yuexiang Edition 4Motion are equipped with a 10.3-inch digital instrument panel display, offering a brand-new digital visual experience.
I recently helped a relative choose between these two used cars, and the price drop for the 2021 Tiguan L is actually quite reasonable. You see, back in 2021, it coincided with the most severe chip shortage, and Volkswagen cut some features to maintain sales. The actual cars I've seen even removed the electric passenger seat, and the power tailgate became manual. Plus, the new models now use the MQB Evo platform, so older platform cars depreciate much faster. For example, there's a 2021 330TSI in our neighborhood—the owner lamented that it cost 250,000 yuan when new, but now used car dealers only offer 140,000. In contrast, the 2020 model has more features and holds its value better. If you're car shopping recently, I recommend checking whether the 2021 model's infotainment runs on Android—updating maps later can be a hassle.
