Volkswagen unveils its Tiguan plug-in hybrid
01 Jan 2021|2,983 views
Volkswagen has launched the new Tiguan eHybrid. With an electric range of up to 50km, it allows most everyday trips to be covered without generating any local emissions.
In Hybrid mode, the electric motor supports the 1.4-litre turbocharged inline-four engine and acts like an additional booster. In this mode, the Tiguan eHybrid will temporarily also cover stretches fully electrically and thus without generating any local emissions, as so-called recuperation during braking recharges the battery.
Consequently, there is enough electrical energy on long journeys to switch off the combustion engine depending on the situation, or support it with additional drive output. There is also GTE mode, where the electric motor and TSI engine join forces, generating particularly dynamic results. In this mode, both drive units together generate a maximum system output of 242bhp and 400Nm of torque.
The Tiguan eHybrid can start in EV mode, provided the battery is sufficiently charged and its temperature is above -10 degrees Celsius. It can also cover up to 50km in electric mode - enough for most daily trips. Assuming it is consistently charged, the Tiguan eHybrid could be used as a fully-fledged electric vehicle for the majority of trips throughout the year.
The battery is arranged in the vehicle floor in front of the rear axle, and it uses a charger with a connector for conventional, domestic sockets, allowing a maximum charging speed of of 2.3kW, or with up to 3.6kW at a charging station or home charging station.
