Volkswagen is spicing up its European portfolio by giving three of its sensible cars the heart of a hot hatchback. From now on, the Tiguan and Tayron SUVs and the Passat wagon can be ordered with the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the Golf GTI. The 2.0-liter unit is the VW Group's fourth-generation "EA888" dialed to an identical 261 hp.
