VW Tiguan II R 4MOTION DSG - Terrain

Is the VW Tiguan II R 4MOTION DSG also suitable for off-road use? Here often a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real rough terrain it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The VW Tiguan has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 201 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The VW Tiguan has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
