Pre-sales begin for Volkswagen Tiguan PHEV SUV in Europe
Volkswagen’s plug-in hybrid version of its Tiguan SUV the Tiguan eHybrid
(earlier post) is now available to configure and order in Europe; the starting price in Germany is €42,413.11 (US$51,500).
The Tiguan eHybrid has an all-electric range (WLTP) of up to 50 km (31 miles). In Hybrid mode, the electric motor supports the 1.4-liter TSI 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 recuperation during braking recharges the battery. Consequently, there is enough electrical energy on long journeys to switch off the TSI engine depending on the situation, or support it with additional drive output.
