Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid

Plug-in hybrid SUV

The Tiguan eHybrid is the plug-in hybrid version of Volkswagen's mid-size SUV, presented on the UK site under a line asking whether buyers want electric or petrol, with the answer being both. The Tiguan range as a whole offers plug-in hybrid, diesel and petrol engines with outputs from 130 to 272 PS, though the page does not say which figure belongs to the eHybrid.

What the page does not state

The UK model page does not publish the eHybrid's electric range, battery capacity, charging speed or starting price. Those details sit on a separate technical data page, which was not read for this profile, so no numbers for them are given here rather than estimating. Buyers wanting those figures should open the technical data link from the model page or ask a retailer for the current sheet before comparing it with other plug-in hybrids.

Trims and equipment

Tiguan trims are Life, Match, Style, R-Line and Black Edition. The page lists several driver assistance systems for the Tiguan range: Lane Assist, Travel Assist, Emergency Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Area View and a rear-view camera. The Black Edition adds Park Assist Pro with Remote Park Assist. The page does not confirm which of these are fitted to the eHybrid specifically, so buyers should check the configuration of the chosen trim with a retailer.
