A powerful turbocharged gasoline engine is being added to the range of engines available for the VW Tiguan, Tayron and Passat. It is connected to the 4Motion all-wheel drive system as standard.
VW Tayron
Volkswagen AG
The TSI engine with an output of 150 kW (204 PS) is available for the SUV models VW Tiguan and VW Tayron. The maximum torque of 320 Nm is already available from 1,400 rpm, and power is transmitted via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The intelligent 4Motion clutch on the rear axle detects whether front-wheel drive is sufficient and only engages the all-wheel drive when there is load or slippage. When the optional trailer coupling is attached, coupled trailers are detected and the "Trailer" driving profile is activated. The 4Motion clutch then distributes the power optimally between the front and rear axles. The Tiguan and Passat are designed for trailers weighing up to 2,200 kg, while the Tayron 2.0 TSI 4Motion is approved for towing loads of up to 2,500 kg (braked at 12 % incline in each case), depending on the equipment.
The Tiguan 2.0 TSI 4Motion is available with the weaker engine starting at €48,175, and the Tayron starting at €50,770. The sprint from 0–150 km/h takes 7.5 s, and the models are capable of speeds over 220 km/h. The 2.0 TSI is also available with 195 kW (265 PS) of power. The identical engine from the Golf GTI was tuned for the Tiguan, Tayron and Passat and now offers a higher torque of 400 Nm from 1,650 rpm. The powerful turbocharged gasoline engine is always coupled to the "R-Line" equipment. The VW Tiguan then starts at €57,995 (0–100 km/h: 5.9 s and 242 km/h top speed), the Tayron costs €59,755 (6.3 s and 240 km/h) and the Passat is available for €62,990 (5.8 s and 250 km/h).
