The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan is a petrol SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 2 LCI generation. The 2.0 TSI R-Line FWD is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 2.0 TSI R-Line FWD version develops 184 hp and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.5 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 205 km/h (127 mph). Its power output is about 19% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 11% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 8.1 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 60.0 litres (15.9 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 185 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,509 mm (177.5 in) in length, 1,839 mm (72.4 in) in width, and 1,675 mm (65.9 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,678 mm (105.4 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 615 litres (21.7 cu ft), expanding to 1,655 litres (58.4 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,625 kg (3,583 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,587 kg (3,499 lb). That cargo volume is about 5% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 2.0 TSI R-Line FWD and 2.0 TSI SE R-Line 4MOTION. Across the range, the specifications span 184 hp and 8.2 s to 8.5 s, while listed starting prices run from $26,280-$28,545. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol SUV models from the same period, the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
