And the prospective pep in the stylish compact SUV's step will come by way of update and advancement from Volkswagen’s EA888 turbocharged, direct-injection four-cylinder engine, which made its debut in the mid-size 2009 Volkswagen CC.
Set to use an innovative four-stroke cycle mod, 2018 Tiguan's powerplant promises a winning combination of energetic drive, fuel efficiency and response. A downsized design looks to improve the effectiveness of the 1.8-liter EA888 Gen 3 engine currently proudly showcased in Volkswagen Passat, Jetta, Beetle, and Golf family models, but it'll nonetheless offer the kind of power often found in larger-displacement engines.
So how did Volkswagen engineers accomplish this feat? They experimented with the range of common, everyday driving most VW enthusiasts do, and introduced a modified Miller engine combustion cycle, called the Budack-cycle, unique to Volkswagen. This curio allows VW's 2.0-liter TSI to close its intake valves earlier, resulting in combustion that lasts longer and air flow that remains fast for the gases, and this makes the most of your Tiguan's fuel and air mix. That means a reduction in fuel consumption over 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan as well as a long-sought-after corresponding torque increase -- up to 20 percent maximum– of up to 221 pound-feet.
And Volkswagen plans to make the magic happen with predecessor-evinced chain-driven double overhead camshafts and twin balance shafts that help quash internal engine forces while enabling your 2018 Tiguan to optimize its oil use and allow its crankcase to "breathe." This is in tandem with operational marvels like a four-core-processor-equipped engine management system, lower brake mean effective pressure at full load to reduce engine friction, and more.
