Additional allocation + official reduction! What do you think of the Tiguan L PHEV?

It is no exaggeration to say that the love between the people of the north and the south has never stopped. From the early Jetta Santana to the Magotan Laopa, and now the SUV matrix game, the two have never been fighting for a moment. However, it has become more and more popular in recent years. Beijing Volkswagen simply put out the advertising slogan "I have it, XX Volkswagen doesn't have it". It is very exciting and consumers can't stop watching it.

Last month, the author introduced FAW-Volkswagen’s latest model Tanyue GTE, with a guide price starting from 249,800 + fuel consumption of 3 per 100 kilometers in hybrid mode, which attracted the attention of consumers. The author also asserted at the time that the emergence of the Tanyue GTE would definitely dilute the sales of its sibling model, the SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L PHEV. It could beat the Tiguan L PHEV with its high configuration and affordable price. However, recently, SAIC Volkswagen also Made a "response", the 2020 Tiguan L PHEV is on the market. Compared with the 2019 model, the new car has increased configurations, but more importantly, its guide price has been lowered. 289,800-299,800 yuan has become 265,800-275,800 yuan. Although it is still higher than the highest configuration model of Tanyue GTE (249,800-259,800 yuan), it has 0 interest rate for 2 years, the deposit has increased by 50 times, and six gifts worth 27,000 yuan, etc. The multiple gifts are also very sincere. Let’s taste this latest 2020 Tiguan L PHEV Premium Edition to see if it can compete with others after being rebuilt.

The appearance is still popular, but xenon headlights have been criticized

As an annual facelift model, the 2020 Tiguan L PHEV continues the appearance design of the 19th model, and overall it is still "Volkswagen" ". As a plug-in hybrid version, the Tiguan L PHEV is very different from the fuel version of the Tiguan L. Although there is no exclusive new energy design, SAIC Volkswagen has also put a lot of effort into the details. The front face still has three chrome strips. The decorated air intake grille and the headlights on both sides are integrated with it. However, what is unfair is that the low-end premium version of the Tiguan L PHEV uses xenon headlights, which are different from the Tanyue that comes standard with LED high and low beams. It’s up to you to decide which GTE is better than the other, but there is one thing to say. The detailed design of the front face of the Tiguan L PHEV adds a lot of points to its appearance, especially the blade-like imitation air intake design on both sides of the lower front face. , very eye-catching, no less than Volkswagen's R-line sports package, and the daytime driving design on it is very creative, and it is highly recognizable when driving at night.

On the side of the car body, the Tiguan L PHEV is similar to the traditional version of the Tiguan L. It still adopts a classic design. The waistline extends from the front door to the taillight, giving a sense of power. The chrome-plated car below The side skirts have a touch of fashion elements, but it is really difficult to distinguish Tiguan L and Tiguan L PHEV from the side. They can only be distinguished from the decorative plates on the fenders. In terms of wheels, Tiguan L PHEV is relatively stingy. The whole series is still equipped with 215/65 R17 wheels as standard. Compared with the 235/55 R18 wheels of the Tanyue GTE, the visual experience is much worse. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Tiguan L PHEV are 4720* 1839*1673mm, wheelbase 2791mm, it is an upper-middle level among mid-sized SUVs.

There is nothing to say about the rear of the car. The taillights and bilateral single-outlet exhaust are all conventional Volkswagen designs. However, the text of Tiguan L PHEV 430 PHEV will cause consumers to misunderstand. After all, the rear of the car next door The suffix is ??GTE only.

The interior is slightly mediocre, and the configuration is still not as good as that of its brothers.

In terms of interior and configuration, the Tiguan L PHEV pales in comparison to the Tanyue GTE, and it does not have the latest Volkswagen It has a unique design style and no more comfortable and intelligent configurations. It is no exaggeration to say that as a 2020 Volkswagen new energy model, almost everything you can find on the Tiguan L PHEV is from two years ago. The first-generation multi-function steering wheel, cheap center console, and even the upgraded 8-inch touch center control screen all look very old-fashioned and make people sigh. In terms of configuration, the new Tiguan L PHEV only adds a new one. The 10.2-inch LCD screen also has an automatic parking function, but it still lacks a bit of sincerity. The whole series comes standard with front and rear parking sensors, reflection, panoramic sunroof, keyless entry + start, main and auxiliary electric adjustment, front row heating, automatic After all, it is not as good as Tanyue GTE in terms of air conditioning.

The power is quite satisfactory and is not a big problem for home use.

In terms of power, the Tiguan L PHEV is still equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.4T turbocharged engine + electric motor. It is matched with a DQ400e 6-speed DSG gearbox, which is exactly the same as the 2019 Tiguan L PHEV. The fuel engine and motor can bring a maximum power of 210 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, and the 0-1 acceleration reaches 8.2S; In terms of cruising range, the official cruising range of the Tiguan L PHEV in pure electric mode is 52km, which is the same as the Tanyue GTE. Admittedly, such a power combination and cruising range are not outstanding, but in terms of fuel consumption, it is still very gratifying and can be used daily. Not a big problem for home use.

It is accepted that the starting price of 265,800 is even higher than the top-end price of Tanyue GTE, but it does not have practical active braking system, ACC adaptive cruise, seat ventilation and other configurations, which is really unsatisfactory. It seems that Tiguan L There is a long way to go for PHEV to make a comeback, and those consumers who like the Tiguan L PHEV can only look forward to the mid-term facelift model.
