Electric Technology Car News: As a once leading model but now in decline, Tiguan L can still crush its rivals with its performance and space

Tiguan, once the leading model of joint venture SUV brands, has been a benchmark in all aspects. With the arrival of the new generation model, Tiguan L, two generations are fighting together. The lower-priced Tiguan faces the compact SUV market, while the larger and more expensive Tiguan L enters the mid-size SUV market. In fact, everyone wants to know how Tiguan L can regain its former king's seat.

In terms of appearance, the strong family atmosphere makes everyone feel that Tiguan L is a Volkswagen model at first glance. The square appearance and straight lines make it look tougher than the old models. The headlights are connected to the air intake grille, making the entire front face look wide. In terms of configuration, the 1.8T top-end model and the 2.0T model are equipped with LED headlights and daytime running lights, while other models are equipped with xenon headlights.

The 18-inch two-tone wheels are nice, but the multi-spoke design is undoubtedly a nightmare for car washers. In addition, the tires are 235/55 R18, which takes into account both visual effects and vibration absorption. Above the front fender is the four-wheel drive logo. The full-time four-wheel drive system of the Tiguan L is only available on the 2.0T model. The rear of this car has clear layers, and the indirect design is also the styling style that Volkswagen has always had.

After talking about the exterior, let's talk about the interior. There is not much to say about the interior design of Tiguan L. The typical family style does not arouse people's interest, which is also a problem that Volkswagen's current models need to solve. Of course, there is nothing to say about the materials and workmanship, which are excellent in the same level of models.

The multimedia system is still the familiar second-generation MIB, which is rich in functions, responsive and easy to operate. In addition, when your finger approaches the virtual button below the screen, the larger button area also makes the operation easier, which is very considerate.

In terms of power, Tiguan L offers two power combinations: 1.8T+7DSG and 2.0T+7DSG, but the full-time four-wheel drive system is only available on the 2.0T model and is standard. This makes it difficult for customers who only want to buy the 1.8T and want the four-wheel drive system to choose.

In general, my first encounter with the Tiguan L was quite pleasant. The grand and tough appearance is more in line with the preferences of a male consumer like me. The layout of the various functional areas of the interior is also very reasonable. Coupled with the familiar family-style design, there is almost no need to find buttons on the center console, and it is easy to use. In addition, it has all the configurations that a long-term test car should have, and it can even be said to be redundant, which can provide good comfort and convenience.
