VW's Plug-in Hybrid Family SUV Tested
Volkswagen’s plug-in hybrid Tiguan offers up to 115km of electric range as PHEV sales rise 119% this year, the company said.
- Volkswagen has launched the Tiguan eHybrid in Australia, offering Elegance trim at $64,590 and R-Line at $74,550 before on-road costs.
- The launch capitalizes on surging plug-in hybrid demand, with sales up 119 percent this year and over 500 percent in April alone.
- Powering the vehicle is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 19.7kWh battery, delivering around 115km all-electric range on the WLTP cycle.
- The Tiguan eHybrid provides 490 litres of boot space with rear seats in place, expanding to 1486 litres when stowed for family use.
- Although Volkswagen provides an eight-year battery warranty, the standard five-year, unlimited-kilometre coverage trails competitors offering seven to 10-year warranties.
