Volkswagen Tiguan Performance

The impressive Volkswagen Tiguan mpg ratings are made possible by a powerful engine that resides under the hood. You get a powerful 2.0L turbo engine that comes standard with all trims except the SEL Premium R-Line, which comes equipped with an AWD-capable 4MOTION® 2.0L Turbo engine. Here are the performance specs of each available engine:

2.0L Turbo Engine:

  • 8-speed automatic transmission
  • 184 hp
  • 221 lb-ft of torque
  • 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway*
  • FWD

4MOTION® 2.0L Turbo Engine:

  • 8-speed automatic transmission
  • 184 hp
  • 221 lb-ft of torque
  • 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway
  • AWD

The only major difference between the two engine options is that the 4MOTION® will allow for AWD capability on the Webster roads but will slightly reduce the Volkswagen Tiguan gas mileage. Experience the towing power and other capabilities of this SUV for yourself by setting up a test drive at Suntrup Volkswagen and stepping inside the Volkswagen Tiguan. You can even apply for financing online to save time at the dealership.
