Therefore, this kind of borrowing means that Volkswagen Tiguan L can only belong to the derivative model of the main model, which is just the opposite of Audi A4L and other Audi A4 series models, resulting in that Tiguan L can't be a "nice gentleman" and can't please more consumers. Distinguished advantages and disadvantages will give consumers who like Tiguan one more choice.
Advantages: In fact, there is only one, and the space is relatively large. Thanks to the increase of body length from 4506mm in Tiguan to 47 12mm in Tiguan L, the wheelbase has also increased by 107mm, reaching 279 1mm, which has exceeded the wheelbase of Toyota Highlander. In addition, the width is increased by 30mm, but the height is reduced by 12mm, and the whole vehicle is more slender. In fact, this conductor can also row seven cars. Kodiak on the same platform is a good example, but because of the difference, Tiguan L is still a five-seat car, so the legroom in the back seat can be described as spacious, and it can already be "Ge You Lie".
However, the four-wheel drive version has a low car height and a general head space, so it is necessary to prevent the transmission shaft, which leads to a high bulge in the middle of the rear row and also affects the riding experience of the middle passengers. The trunk space is also very impressive, from 400L in Tiguan to 495L in normal state. After the rear seat is put down, this data reaches 1780L, but the use space is not very flat, which is a pity.
Disadvantages: If the appearance is pulled up because of the size, the sense of movement will barely increase by a few points; The interior can only be described as mediocre, but it also conforms to the practical and durable home positioning. In terms of power, as the current Tiguan will continue to sell the 1.4T model, Tiguan L has introduced two displacements of 1.8T and 2.0T Both engines are third-generation EA888 series products, matching the 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. Therefore, compared with 1.8T and 2.0T of Tiguan L, the same displacement power and horsepower of Tiguan L are slightly improved. Generally speaking, it can only be matched, and there is no way to form a qualitative change.
Judging from the price that everyone cares about, the price increase experienced by Tiguan may not reappear on Tiguan L. From the first price increase, to the later concessions, and now to the continuous expansion of the preferential margin, it shows that the manufacturer's pricing of 223,800-359,800 is difficult for consumers to accept. However, if the price drops to the range of 200,000, as a unique "sub-intermediate" SUV, coupled with Tiguan's reputation and popularity accumulated over the years, its competitiveness still exists.
