What Kind of Engine Will We See in the Upcoming 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan?

2018 VW Tiguan New Engine Specs

The good news about the newly redesigned 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan just keeps coming! We have already talked about the increased dimensions and how much the vehicle will cost, but we have another bit of information that you will definitely want to know about. That bit of information concerns the engine, which is the beating heart of the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan.

As far as the sizing is concerned, the engine of the 2018 edition of the Volkswagen Tiguan remains the same at 2.0 liters and with four cylinders. But don’t let that fool you! The world-renowned engineers at Volkswagen took the engine back to the drawing board and gave it some adjustments (like added TSI mechanisms) to create a different power combination. This combination includes 184 horsepower and 221 lb.-ft. of torque (previous models had a 200 horsepower / 207 lb.-ft. torque power combination).

What is the Towing Capacity of the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan?

The new engine allows the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan to pull up to 1,500 pounds, which is enough for a trailer loaded with the family’s kayaks or supplies for that home renovation project.

What is the 2018 VW Tiguan Model’s Fuel Economy?

One major change that occurred with the new engine was an improved fuel economy, which is estimated to be 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway (20 mpg-city / 24 mpg-highway for previous models), though there may be a slight decrease when you have the 4MOTION all-wheel drive added. And with the help of a 15.3-gallon fuel tank (15.9 for 4MOTION models), you will definitely go farther with fewer fill-ups along the way!
