Off-Road Capabilities of Volkswagen Tiguen

Off-Road Capabilities of  Volkswagen Tiguen

Introducing the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, designed for families and individuals that gain enjoyment from the great outdoors. It features a longer wheelbase compared to the standard 2023 Tiguan and, thus, a roomier interior, providing its occupants with more comfort and greater utility. 


Additionally, the brand-new Tiguan Allspace has exceptional off-road performance, making it the best choice among the Tiguan lineup for off-road excursions. In this article, we will take a closer look at the class-leading off-road features of this premium German crossover.


All-Wheel Drive System


The first standout off-road feature in the 2023 VW Tiguan is its All-wheel drive system. This system provides improved traction and stability on off-road terrain. This advanced AWD system constantly monitors individual wheel traction in order to send power to the wheels with the most secure grip. This enhances handling, especially on slippery or uneven surfaces. 


The Allspace's All-wheel drive system also features a built-in traction control system that helps prevent wheelspin, thus, maintaining stability. This results in a vehicle that tackles a variety of off-road conditions with confidence, while providing a trustworthy and stable driving experience.


Increased Ground Clearance


Another aspect of the 2023 Allspace suiting it well to off-road driving is a ground clearance of 8.1 inches. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle’s body and the ground. A higher ground clearance allows for more efficient negotiation of rough terrain and obstacles without getting stuck or scraping the undercarriage. T


his is especially beneficial when you’re driving on uneven or treacherous terrain, where a low clearance would lead to damage or getting stuck. The Tiguan Allspace’s 8.1-inch ground clearance allows it to tackle challenging off-road conditions with ease,  making it a more capable off-road vehicle.


Off-road Mode


The new Tiguan Allspace also features an advanced dedicated off-road mode that optimizes the vehicle's systems for off-road adventures. When this system is activated, the dedicated off-road mode is capable of adjusting various systems like traction control and stability control to provide optimal performance on otherwise challenging road surfaces. 


This includes modulating the Tiguan’s throttle response, adjusting the All-Wheel Drive system, and providing increased aggressiveness and intervention from the stability control setup. These measures help your 2023 Tiguan Allspace tackle even the toughest off-road conditions with relative ease. This means you'll benefit from a safer and more grounded off-roading experience. 


By having a dedicated off-road mode, the Tiguan Allspace becomes a more capable and confident off-road vehicle, giving drivers the opportunity to tackle challenging terrain with increased ease.


Torque Vectoring


Another dedicated off-road feature found in your 2023 Tiguan Allspace is torque vectoring. This is a system that distributes torque to the wheels with the most grip, similar to the traction control system. This improves the overall traction and stability of the vehicle, especially over challenging off-road surfaces. 


The way the torque vectoring system works is that it constantly monitors the vehicle's traction and provides an adjusted distribution of power individually to each wheel, ensuring that the vehicle has the best possible grip and stability, even on uneven or slippery terrain. This results in a more confident and controlled driving experience, especially when navigating rough or challenging off-road conditions.


Hill Descent Control


The 2023 Allspace also comes standard with a capable hill descent control system that will help you maintain control when negotiating steep descents. This system automatically regulates the speed of your vehicle, resulting in a more controlled and stable downward journey, even if the terrain is fairly tricky. 


This is of particular benefit when driving on steep or rocky terrain, as it helps prevent the car from skidding and slipping. This system also works in tandem with traction control and torque vectoring to reduce the risk of getting stuck on your descent. This hill descent control system also helps to maintain stability and control, giving you even more confidence and peace of mind when negotiating tough off-road terrain.
