Electric Technology Car News: With its drab interior and inflated price, can the Volkswagen Tiguan still reach the heights of its predecessor, the Tiguan L?

Whether in the minds of consumers or in the monthly SUV sales rankings, the Volkswagen Tiguan L has a very eye-catching performance. As a legendary car of the generation, it ushered in a real generation change last year, and domestic joint venture products and imported products appeared in the market at the same time.

People always joke that Volkswagen stretched and flattened the Golf and came up with all kinds of new cars. Jokes aside, the concept of Volkswagen style does exist. At first glance, it didn't give me much sense of novelty. After thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a word to describe it, so let's just call it Volkswagen style.

One of the highlights of the imported Tiguan is the R-line package for high-end models. Unfortunately, the 280TSI model does not have it, so the styling is relatively thin. If you want to distinguish the new Tiguan from the Tiguan L by the front face, you can easily identify it by the two details in the picture. The Tiguan L has added chrome trim here.

After all, full LED headlights are standard across the range, showing great sincerity. However, compared to high-end models, they lack dynamic lighting functions, and the daytime running lights are also integrated with the headlights. The 18-inch double five-spoke petal rims are the same as the 330TSI four-wheel drive Creator model, and the tires are matched with Continental CSC5 tires with a size of 235/55 R18. The tail design lines highlight the sense of layering, and this part is also the most eye-catching part of the new Tiguan. The exhaust is a single-sided two-outlet style, which is a bit low-end.

The interior design is still familiar. The 280TSI model has not removed anything from the interior style, and it still has the same flavor. The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel has returned to the same type as the Golf, which is far less exciting than the sports steering wheel of the high-end model.

The central control LCD screen is only 8 inches, the size has not changed, but it does not have a GPS navigation module, nor does it have a car networking system, only supporting CarPlay. There is no reversing image function, but the virtual image function is still there, which is enough for daily use. The fabric seats and manual seat adjustment are a bit cheap. After all, it is an imported car worth more than 200,000 yuan, and it looks a bit shabby.

In terms of power, this car is equipped with an EA211 1.4 turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 150 horsepower/5000-6000rpm and a peak torque of 250 Nm/1500-3500rpm.

The overall performance of this car is still good, but the only thing that bothers me is its slightly higher price. At the same price, you can buy the 330TSI model of Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan L. This is a matter of opinion. Every car owner has different ideas. The psychological comfort brought by the imported quality and complete safety system is enough to offset the price difference.
