High torque, efficient and innovative: New top engines can be ordered for the Tiguan now

  • New 2.0 TDI biturbo (176 kW / 240 PS) is the most powerful diesel in the segment
  • High-torque Golf GTI engine with 162 kW / 220 PS now also available for the Tiguan
  • Both engines come with 4Motion all-wheel drive and a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) as standard

The wait is over: the new Tiguan can now be ordered with two new top engines. The powerful 2.0 TSI engine with output of 162 kW / 220 PS familiar from the Golf GTI now gives the Tiguan an even sportier character. In addition, the new 2.0 TDI biturbo with 176 KW / 240 PS raises the bar even further and boasts extremely dynamic driving performance.

With the new biturbo, a four-cylinder turbodiesel direct-injection engine, Volkswagen offers the most powerful diesel in the segment. The way the Tiguan 2.0 TDI delivers its power is not only dynamic, but also efficient. For the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h the Tiguan biturbo needs no more than 6.5 seconds and it can reach a top speed of 228 km/h. Its maximum torque of 500 Newton metres, available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm, is transferred to the road via the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) and 4Motion all-wheel drive. The top TDI consumes an average of just 6.4 l / 100 km (corresponding CO2 emissions 167 g/km). Furthermore, the inner power of the Tiguan biturbo is reflected in the design. A clear distinguishing feature at the rear is the striking trapezoid tail pipes, which identify the Tiguan biturbo as the most powerful representative of its model series.

The 2.0 TSI engine with 162 kW / 220 PS also promises increased dynamic performance. Familiar from the Golf GTI, it now also gives the Tiguan a sporty character. With this engine the Tiguan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h. The maximum torque of 350 Nm is available between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. The 2.0 TSI will also be offered with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) and 4Motion all-wheel drive as standard. Both engines can be ordered in conjunction with the Highline equipment line. Prices start at €42,700 for the Tiguan biturbo and €39,625 for the Tiguan 2.0 TSI.

*Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4Motion BMT (176 kW/240 PS) fuel consumption in l/100 km: 6.4 (combined); CO2 emissions in g/km: 167 (combined). Efficiency class: C
Tiguan 2.0 TSI 4Motion BMT (162 kW/220 PS) fuel consumption in l/100km: 7.8 (combined); CO2 emissions in g/km: 180; efficiency class: D

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
