Highlander killer? Let's take a look at the actual performance of Tiguan L
For the Chinese market, almost the most important SUV has ushered in its comprehensive replacement. However, after lengthening the wheelbase, Tiguan has upgraded from a compact SUV to a medium-sized SUV, and the name has changed to Tiguan L. Can it still win the favor of Chinese consumers like the previous generation models, and become the leader in the joint-venture brand SUV?

Analysis of the Chinese market: Despite the strength of many competitors, the brand image and technical strength of Tiguan L make it fully regaining leadership in the mid-level SUV.
In the past 2016, SAIC Volkswagen sold a total of 242,000 units of its fist product and profit source for many years. For the first time, it was surpassed by Buick Angkewei and ranked second in the sales of joint-venture brand SUVs. This indicates that the Tiguan since its inception in 2010 has reached a time when it must be updated.
In fact, at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, a new generation of Tiguan has already appeared. However, for the Chinese market, which is particularly focused on the interior space of the car, Volkswagen decided to put on the long-wheelbase version of the SAIC Volkswagen, so until now, Tiguan L officially took the stage.
How much is Tiguan L lengthened?
Compared with the imported road view that we have just tested before, the wheelbase of Tiguan L has been extended by 110 mm to 2791 mm, an increase of 107 mm compared with the previous generation. In fact, the interior space of the imported Tiguan can be described as ample, and the Tiguan L is undoubtedly more open.
In its rear row, even if the front seats are in a fairly rear position, the rear passengers will not feel cramped. The height inside the car is also sufficient, even when the body is sitting straight. But we don't have to waste this space, because in Volkswagen's plan, there will be a Tiguan L with three rows of seats, which will make the best use of them.
In addition to the spacious seating space, the luggage compartment has a volume of 495 liters, an increase of 95 liters over the previous generation. In the case of overturning the second row of seats, the luggage compartment can be expanded to as much as 1,780 liters.
In all corners of the cab, there are up to 34 storage spaces for easy storage of cards, change, glasses, mobile phones and beverage bottles.
What are the highlights of the appearance after lengthening?
The shape of the head of Tiguan L is not much different from that of the imported version. The raised bonnet of the engine compartment enhances the tough characteristics of the front, and the V-shaped characteristic line on it is dynamic and smooth. The horizontal grille is connected to the sharp headlights, and the grille trim strips are inserted into the headlights and integrated into one, which significantly expands the horizontal visual effect.
The design details of the air intake grille are quite rich, and the use of different materials makes it layered, refined and atmospheric. The trapezoidal lower grille has been carefully designed to create a dynamic angle. The thick three-dimensional shield and the horizontal polygonal fog lamps on both sides further highlight the wide visual effect of the front face and add fortitude to the front face.
The 33 LED lighting units form the headlights of the Tiguan L, while the L-shaped taillights are simple in shape and three-dimensional in design. The rear reflectors are cleverly blended into the chrome trim on the tail. At the same time, the off-road features of the silver-gray shield echoes the front face shield, and the delicate tail trims are embedded in it, enriching the tail level.
On the side of the most striking body, due to the lengthening of the wheelbase and the body, the characteristic line of the window rises up between the C-pillar and the D-pillar to maintain a compact sense of power. However, this design is still slightly inferior to the original Tiguan.
What is the quality of the process?
The excellent quality of the interior has always been the specialty that Volkswagen is proud of. We have already seen it again on the import road. The interior design of Tiguan L is consistent with the original model: its three-dimensional horizontal instrument panel adopts the “driver care†design concept, which is matched with the center console and the door panel to create a driver-centered atmosphere.
The center console design has a stronger layering, and the geometric design of the radio panel and air conditioning vents echoes the tough style of the appearance. Relative to the import Tiguan, Tiguan L's interior processing and assembly level is no different, but the material feel of some parts is cheaper.
Tiguan L is equipped with a panoramic skylight with an area of ​​1.17 square meters, of which 0.84 square meters can be opened. At the same time, the sunroof has a thermal insulation rate of 85%, and uses a three-layer sealing structure and a smart anti-pinch protection sensor.
Is the extended Tiguan L still open ?
The performance of the new generation of Tiguan highway is extremely outstanding, and the domestic Tiguan L is likely to be weakened in this respect. The increased length will inevitably lead to an increase in the weight of the car and a distribution of the front and rear axle loads, which will affect the flexibility of the body.
In the test drive process, it can be clearly felt that the suspension adjustment of the importing road view has been re-adjusted in the domestic process and has become quite soft. This may not be good news for motorists, but it is definitely worth cheering for most users, especially passengers. However, it is a pity that this is a test drive under ice and snow conditions. It is difficult to evaluate the performance of all the roads of Tiguan L.
This arrangement is presumably to show the four-wheel drive system of Tiguan: the new 4MoTIon full-time four-wheel drive system, capable of coupling at 400 rpm, achieving power distribution of 95:5 before and after, and capable of stepless adjustment of the output torque ratio .
This system allows Tiguan L to transfer 90% of the power to the rear wheels when the front wheels lose their grip, helping the vehicle to get out of trouble. And with only one wheel with grip, the 4MoTIon system can also work with ESP to help the vehicle get out of trouble.
Tiguan L's powertrain is still a combination of the third-generation EA888 engine and the DQ500 transmission, achieving an extremely high level of balance in power, ride and economy. In addition, the driving mode selection feature allows the driver to switch between 4 road modes and 3 off-road modes, demonstrating the full capabilities of an SUV.
Is there a surprise in the configuration?
Tiguan L is equipped with an extremely rich driver assistance system from adaptive cruise system, lane keeping system, pre-crash safety system to version 3.0 intelligent parking assist system, as well as top-quality audio, 8-inch navigation and multimedia display, head-up display, Intelligent tailgate, three-zone automatic air conditioning and other equipment.
However, the more popular full LCD instrument panel has not appeared in the configuration table of Tiguan L. After all, in the family of SAIC Volkswagen, there is a higher positioning Teramont coming soon.
Photovoltaic inverter (PV inverter or solar inverter) can convert the variable DC voltage generated by photovoltaic (PV) solar panels into an inverter of mains frequency alternating current (AC), which can be fed back to the commercial transmission system, or for off-grid Grid usage of the grid. The photovoltaic inverter is one of the important balance of system (BOS) in photovoltaic array system, which can be used with general AC power supply equipment. Solar inverters have special functions for photovoltaic arrays, such as maximum power point tracking and island effect protection. Photovoltaic inverters usually consist of the following main parts:
DC input: The photovoltaic inverter receives DC power input from solar panels.
Inverter module: The inverter module is the core part of the inverter, responsible for converting direct current into alternating current. It contains multiple electronic components and switching circuits, through precise control and adjustment, convert direct current into alternating current of specific frequency and voltage.
Controller: The controller monitors and controls the operation and performance of the inverter to ensure the stable operation of the inverter and make optimal adjustments when needed.
Output: The output of the inverter is alternating current, which can be connected to household appliances, industrial equipment or incorporated into the grid to supply electricity.
