大众在本届法兰克福车展除了发布新一代途观标准版之外，还发布了GTE插电混动概念版。该车搭载一台1.4升TSI引擎，功率156马力，另有一台电机和13千瓦时锂电池组，综合输出功率160千瓦/218马力。这台电机与六速双离合器变速器集成在一起，在纯电动模式下最长可行驶50公里。该车可以使用外部电源充电，也可以利用车顶设置的太阳能板充电，在理想条件下可使车辆行驶1公里。如果采用混动模式，该车百公里油耗仅为1.9升，每公里二氧化碳排放量42克。车辆百公里加速时间8.1秒，最高时速200公里，纯电动模式下最高时速130公里。目前还不清楚该车是否会投产。

 

Volkswagen Tiguan GTE plug-in hybrid concept breaks cover with 218 PS and 50 km electric range

Aside from introducing the conventionally-powered Tiguan, Volkswagen has also revealed a plug-in hybrid concept with the now familiar GTE suffix.

 

The Tiguan GTE is for now only a concept that marries a 156 PS 1.4 TSI engine with an electric motor and together these two generate a combined output of 218 PS (160 kW). The electric motor has been integrated the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox's housing while the 13 kWh lithium-ion battery pack has enough juice for a maximum range of 50 km (31 miles). It can be recharged either externally, but also through the roof-mounted solar panels which under ideal conditions can provide enough energy for up to 1,000 km (621 miles) of driving range annually.

 

When running in hybrid mode, the Tiguan GTE needs just 1.9 liters / 100 km (124 mpg US or 148.6 mpg UK) with corresponding CO2 emissions of only 42 g/km. Once you hit the GTE button which unlocks all the power, the hybrid crossover will need 8.1 seconds to get from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) and will top out at 124 mph (200 km/h) while in electric mode it will do 81 mph (130 km/h).

 

There's no word just yet about a production version, but maybe we will find out more about this as the concept will premiere in a few hours at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
