Although Tanyue is positioned as a mid-size SUV on most car websites, its body size is only 4589*1860*1660, and there are not many compact SUVs that have reached this size, so Ranking Bao still puts it on the list as a compact SUV.
 
The Tanyue is the second "Tan" SUV released by FAW-Volkswagen after Tange, which is in competition with SAIC Volkswagen's "Tu" generation, and will continue to launch plug-in hybrid versions and coupe versions in the future. The chassis of the Tanyue uses the same MQB-A2 platform as the Tiguan L, but the lengthening is much less than that of the Tiguan L, the Tiguan L increased the wheelbase by 110 mm at the time, forcibly increasing the size to the mid-size SUV, while the Tanyue only increased by 50 mm.
 
In terms of design language, FAW-Volkswagen's "Tan" character generation also has its own characteristics, the honeycomb chain grille and annular LED daytime running lights on the front face are the same as those on Tange, and there are many more lines on the hood, and the side waistline is protruding in the front and rear wheel arches, and the middle part of the door sinks, although it is also a new nesting doll design, but it is still younger and more energetic than the Tiguan.
 
The Tanyue offers three powertrains, namely the EA211's 1.4T turbocharged engine mated to a DQ200 seven-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, and the EA888's 2.0T engine is divided into high and low power, paired with a DQ500 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The maximum horsepower of the 1.4T engine is 150 horsepower, the 2.0T low-power version is 186 horsepower, the high-power version is 220 horsepower, and the most popular is the 1.4T model or the 2.0T low-power version of the two-wheel drive version, yes, the 2.0T low-power version of the Tanyue is divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, and the high-power version is four-wheel drive.
 
1.4T this set of power can meet the needs of daily driving, the ride is still good, but the speed of gear change is not fast, mainly for the comfort of the compromise, in full load or high-speed driving, because the base displacement is relatively small, the speed pointer will be more lively, often at a higher speed to ensure that the power is sufficient.
 
The two versions of the 2.0T will be relatively much more powerful, but there will still be a slight turbo lag at low speeds, DQ500 This set of wet dual-clutch transmission is also the flagship gearbox of the Volkswagen Group, the shift logic is very clear, it can withstand 600N·m torque, the whole tuning is also biased towards moderation, the shift speed is not fast, and there is no crisp and neat feeling, low-speed driving will still be very occasional A little bit of breaking, in addition to this, there are not too many characteristics.
 
The four-wheel drive model of the Tanyue is equipped with BorgWarner's fifth-generation multi-plate clutch differential, but even when the Touareg is leaning on the road performance, the Tanyue is not born for off-road, because the dual-clutch gearbox is in the process of getting out of trouble, the power transmission itself is very non-linear, and most of the occasions when this four-wheel drive system can play a role are in the wet road conditions of rain and snow.
 
Tanyue's suspension tuning has nothing to do with being soft and thick, and it can even be said that it is stiff, and the bounce is still more obvious when passing through some potholes, and the passengers in the rear row can also clearly feel more fine vibrations, but this kind of tuning will be more supportive in corners, plus the steering that is more sensitive with angle gain, it can be regarded as a model that takes into account a certain driving pleasure in the road-like SUV.
 
The interior of the Tanyue is also the design language of the new generation of Volkswagen, although it is still a practical route, but this style is still more modern, as for the sense of science and technology, it all depends on which configuration you buy, the LCD instrument is only available in high-end models, and the central touch screen is also divided into three sizes, from the low configuration to the top configuration are 6.5 inches, 8 inches, 9.2 inches, and the top model will have a 9.2-inch touch screen. The materials used in the interior are not too sincere, except for the slush molding process on the top of the dashboard, many places are still hard plastic, which does not match its pricing, and the workmanship has maintained a high level, and the seams and the like are relatively neat.
 
The rear seat comfort of Tanyue is acceptable, the head and leg room are very sufficient, the backrest of the seat has a large adjustment angle, and the range of movement before and after is relatively large, the backrest of the seat has been designed, and the force of the middle depression is relatively uniform, but the rear central platform has become relatively high due to the four-wheel drive system, and the armrest in the center of the rear row is also more prominent, and the passengers sitting in the middle are not too comfortable.
 
There is very little storage space in the front, with very little storage space in front of the gear lever, with the exception of the door panels and the central armrest box. The trunk exceeds 500 liters under normal conditions, the rear seats can also be adjusted forward to release more storage space, the rear seats support one-key reclining, and the floor after folding down is fully flat, although it is not as good as the Tiguan L, but it is an excellent level in the same class.
