Volkswagen's Power Trio: Tiguan, Tayron, and Passat with All-Wheel Drive and Turbocharged Engines

Volkswagen has expanded its lineup with the Tiguan, Tayron, and Passat, now featuring all-wheel drive (AWD) and powerful turbocharged petrol engines. These upgrades enhance their driving dynamics, towing capabilities, and overall performance, making them more versatile for a variety of driving needs. With Volkswagen's 4MOTION AWD system, these models offer improved stability and traction, especially in challenging weather conditions like rain, snow, and mud.

Enhanced Performance and Towing Capabilities

The Volkswagen Tiguan and Volkswagen Tayron SUVs are available with two new turbocharged petrol engine options:

2.0 TSI 4MOTION with 150 kW (204 PS) and 320 Nm of torque
2.0 TSI 4MOTION with 195 kW (265 PS) and 400 Nm of torque

These engines deliver smooth acceleration and responsive power, ideal for both daily commutes and long highway drives. The Passat comes exclusively with the 195 kW (265 PS) 2.0 TSI 4MOTION engine, offering a powerful yet refined driving experience.

When it comes to towing, all three models boast an impressive towing capacity of up to 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs), making them perfect for trailers, boats, and heavy loads. Whether hauling a caravan for weekend trips or equipment for work, these vehicles offer the strength and stability required for the job.

Advanced 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive System

Volkswagen's 4MOTION AWD system continuously monitors driving conditions, adjusting power distribution between the front and rear wheels as needed. This technology enhances grip and handling, reducing wheel slip on wet, icy, or uneven terrain. The system also improves cornering stability, ensuring better control on winding roads.

Key benefits of the 4MOTION AWD system:

Improved traction on slippery surfaces
Enhanced safety in adverse weather conditions
Better stability when towing heavy loads
