The main differences between the Tiguan diesel/gasoline and the ID.3, ID.4 series

Volkswagen is one of the most popular car manufacturers in the world, with many different models and variants. Today, we will compare what’s better to choose between a petrol/diesel version of the Tiguan and a new generation electric car, ID.3 & ID.4. 

The Tiguan 

The VW Tiguan is a luxury SUV family car. The best part about this luxury SUV is that it can hold third-row seating. This makes it a distinction in its class, making it very convenient for extended trips or large groups. It also has sufficient space for holding cargo. 

The Tiguan performs above par in severe winter conditions. Its advantage in the snow is its stability control system; when it senses the car is about to lose control, it applies brakes and reduces the engine power to keep the vehicle from sliding.

Engine

Let’s consider the nitty gritty about which engine suits you best. The Diesel/gas Tiguan car averages 44 mpg. The Tiguan’s 148 bhp 2.0-liter engine is the most practical in terms of car size. This engine outperformed the heavier 187 bhp diesel engine, which shows that speed or performance will not be an issue. 

The Tiguan R will also be equipped with the 2.0-litre petrol turbo engine, increasing power to 316 bhp. The 2.0-litre petrol engine gives one the option of four-wheel drive, making it an even more appealing car. 

The 2022 Tiguan has a standard 2.0-litre engine, giving 184 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque. The latest Tiguan will meet your speed needs, considering that it is a family-style SUV car at the end of the day. On the performance level, both the diesel and petrol engines are smooth and quiet, making the diesel and petrol engines a comparatively economical purchase option. 

ID.3 and ID.4 engines

Compared to Tiguan engines, the electric engines offer a smoother transition. The electric engine goes from 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. The output is 242 bhp combined with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The ID.4 is equipped with two-capacity batteries. 

How Charging benefits you

With direct current, the ID.3 provides quick charging and driving 259 miles on a full charge. The ID.4 electric engine also means portable charging, including your home. While 259 miles may seem a lesser range than the diesel/gasoline Tiguan, a full charge makes up for it, as one does not have to worry about getting the gas first thing in the morning. 

Conclusion

Electric cars mean less fret about engine maintenance since they won’t break down as often. The battery replacement might be expensive, but for the most part, it is cost-sufficient. The Tiguan diesel/gasoline engine means more maintenance over time. One has to weigh the initial cost of investing in the electric versus the long-term maintenance and fuel costs of the diesel/gasoline option.
