Volkswagen has announced that the new long-range Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid is now available to order in Europe, with prices starting at €48,655 Euros on the road. Volkswagen has now started pre-orders of this new model and other new models in the Tiguan range.
The plug-in hybrid drives of the Tiguan have been completely newly designed by Volkswagen and deliver a system power of 150 kW (204 PS) and 200 kW (272 PS). Thanks to a battery that now offers a capacity of 19.7 kWh (net), the electric range has practically doubled compared with the predecessor. With electric ranges of up to approx. 120 km on a single battery charge, the Tiguan eHybrid models practically become electric cars in everyday life. With the combination of an 85 kW electric drive motor and the new 1.5-litre TSI engine (110 kW or 130 kW), the hybrid model is also impressive on long journeys with low consumption values and combined ranges of more than 900 km. The battery of both models can be charged with up to 11 kW (previously 3.6 kW) at a domestic socket or wall box and with up to 50 kW at DC quick-charging stations when out and about.
Enhanced Electric Range and Efficiency
The new Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid stands out with its significantly enhanced electric range and efficiency. The previous model’s electric range has been nearly doubled, allowing drivers to cover up to 120 km on a single battery charge. This improvement makes the Tiguan eHybrid a viable option for daily commutes and short trips without relying on the combustion engine. The increased battery capacity of 19.7 kWh (net) plays a crucial role in this enhancement, providing more energy storage for extended electric driving.
Moreover, the hybrid system’s combination of an 85 kW electric motor and a new 1.5-litre TSI engine (available in 110 kW or 130 kW variants) ensures that the vehicle remains efficient even on longer journeys. The hybrid setup allows for a combined range of over 900 km, making it suitable for both city driving and long-distance travel. This dual capability addresses the common concern of range anxiety associated with electric vehicles, offering a practical solution for various driving needs.
Advanced Charging Capabilities
Charging the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid has also been made more convenient and faster. The vehicle’s battery can now be charged with up to 11 kW at a domestic socket or wall box, a significant improvement from the previous 3.6 kW. This enhancement reduces the charging time, allowing drivers to quickly recharge their vehicles at home or at public charging stations.
For those on the go, the Tiguan eHybrid supports DC quick-charging with up to 50 kW. This feature is particularly beneficial for long trips, as it enables rapid charging at compatible stations, minimizing downtime and ensuring that the vehicle is ready for the next leg of the journey in a short amount of time. The combination of faster home charging and quick-charging capabilities makes the Tiguan eHybrid a versatile and user-friendly option for modern drivers.
