The Tiguan has up to 1,500lbs of towing capacity. Many of the Volkswagen Tiguan models have the same engine options and similar other specs. The SE, S, and SE R-Line Black trims give you the choice of choosing the standard Turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive or with the optional 4MOTION® all-wheel drive. If you want the Tiguan SEL R-Line, be aware that the sole engine you can equip is the spunky 2.0-liter Turbocharged 4-cylinder paired with 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive, but they all create the same towing capacity.
The Volkswagen Tiguan standard horsepower is 184 HP. All models have the same amount of power at the wheel, just in different ways. The standard Tiguan setup uses front-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The optional 4MOTION® setup uses the same transmission, just with an all-wheel drivetrain.
The Tiguan has a 3,765-3,856 pound curb weight. The curb weight of the Volkswagen Tiguan will be impacted depending on the drive setup that’s used, not the model you have. Regardless of the model, equipping the FWD 2.0L powertrain results in a curb weight of 3,765lbs, and the optional all-wheel drive 4MOTION® 2.0L Turbocharged setup gives you a curb weight of 3,856 pounds.
The Tiguan has 7.4-7.6in of ground clearance. One more spec that’s impacted by the powertrain that’s chosen, so expect to see a slim difference in height due to this selection. A clearance of 7.4in should be expected if you choose the base version of the Tiguan. The available 4MOTION® trim levels of the Volkswagen Tiguan have a clearance of 7.6 inches for you to enjoy.
