The Automobile And American Life: October 2020

The most powerful 125 kW / 170 PS Tiguan TDI, which always comes with all-wheel drive, has a combined fuel consumption of 6.0 l/100 km (equivalent to 158 g/km CO2); this is also 0.3 litres less than on the previous model. Its combined fuel consumption is 8.6 l/100 km (199 g/km CO2); after just 7.3 seconds (!), the DSG version is moving at 100 km/h. Despite its high power output, the TSI is also fuel-efficient: in the 180-PS TSI, for example, combined fuel consumption is 8.5 l/100 km (equivalent to 199 g/km CO2) with a manual 6-speed gearbox. In this case, its combined fuel consumption is 8.6 litres (also at 199 g/km CO2). The small, innovative “Minmot” (working title) gasoline engine with minimal consumption and extremely low pollutant emissions was conceived as an intelligent alternative to expensive hybrid drives, and was based on the long experience of corporate research into gasoline engine technology. The 103 kW / 140 PS (at 4,200 rpm) VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI with 4MOTION all-wheel drive was already associated with low fuel consumption. Also expected to be in very high demand is the new Tiguan 2.0 TDI as a 140 PS version with all-wheel drive and BlueMotion Technology: with a manual gearbox, it consumes a low 5.8 l/100 km and with a DSG transmission 6.0 l/100 km.


All versions of the 140 PS TDI are characterised by a very high maximum torque of 320 Newton metres between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. Between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm the engine develops a maximum torque of 350 Newton metres - enough power and force to accelerate the Volkswagen Tiguan to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds with a top speed of 201 km/h. This causes the engine to shut off momentarily. This engine is ideal for customers who put a high priority on maximum fuel economy. This factor partly contributes to the high prices that you have to pay in order to experience an Airport limo Atlanta. With the recent news of a new Kia K900 luxury sedan similar to that of the Quaris sold overseas, the Cadenza soon will have a tag team partner in Kia's luxury movement. In addition, there will once again be a 140 PS Tiguan 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Technology with front-wheel drive (as "Trend & Fun" or "Sport & Style"). This TDI may be combined with the "Trend & Fun" and "Sport & Style" equipment lines. This TSI may be combined with any of the equipment lines.


This TSI will be available in combination with the "Track & Style" and "Sport & Style" equipment lines. It produces 155 kW / 210 PS (between 5,300 and 6,200 rpm) and replaces the 147 kW / 200 PS TSI of the now discontinued previous Tiguan model. Its maximum torque of 280 Newton metres is constantly available from 1,700 to 5,300 rpm. This contrasts with a hefty maximum torque of 280 Newton metres (between 1,750 and 3,000 rpm). The entry-level engine of the Tiguan diesel line-up is the 81 kW / 110 PS (at 2,750 to 4,200 rpm). It produces its maximum power at 4,200 rpm. ’s just a quiet, refined shot of power. Sophisticated electronics provide for safety: if the vehicle begins to roll the engine is immediately started to ensure power assistance for the brakes and steering. Unlike vehicles without the Stop/Start system, the BlueMotion Technology models have an extra battery data module (for acquiring momentary battery charge status), a heavy-duty engine starter, a DC/DC converter (guarantees voltage stability in the vehicle's electrical system) and an exceptionally durable deep-cycle glass mat battery on board.


During coasting and braking phases of the Tiguan - i.e. whenever the driver releases the accelerator pedal or brakes - the system elevates the voltage of the alternator (generator), and this electricity is used to bulk charge the vehicle's battery. The driver approaches a red light, brakes the Tiguan to a stop, shifts into neutral and takes the foot off the clutch (with DSG it is sufficient to press the brake pedal). As soon as the traffic light turns green again, the driver depresses the clutch (or with DSG simply releases the brake), and the engine starts, the "Start (A) Stop" text is cleared, the driver engages a gear and resumes driving. The 210 PS engine takes the vehicle to a top speed of 215 km/h; this Tiguan accelerates to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. The manual gearbox version has a top speed of 186 km/h, while the DSG version can go to 188 km/h. The top speed of the DSG version is slightly lower at 202 km/h, but its 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time is better at 7.9 seconds.
