Superior towing vehicles – Tiguan, Tayron and Passat with all-wheel drive and new powerful turbocharged petrol engines
It is the most powerful TSI engine in the Tiguan, Tayron and Passat: the TSI with 195 kW (265 PS).

The most powerful four-cylinder TSI of these three product lines is always coupled with the sportiest equipment specification: R-Line.
