According to car news from Volkswagen, the new VW Tiguan will get an all-new engine for the 2018 year model. Specifically, the 2018 VW Tiguan will come with a 2.0-liter TSI four-cylinder engine – the latest 3B version of EA888 unit.

The German automaker has confirmed that the most important parts of the engine have been upgraded, including the cast-iron block, the valve springs, the aluminum-alloy pistons and cylinder head.

The new TSI engine will run on VW’s unique Miller combustion cycle in order to facilitate the driving in all conditions. Another striking feature of this new engine is the modern valve timing system on the intake camshaft, which can lengthen the time of fuel load.
 

The 2.0L TSI engine can push out 184 hp at 4,400 rpm and 300 Nm of torque at 1,600 rpm. For now, it will be the only engine available in the new 2018 VW Tiguan and is expected to come with VW’s future models.
