Volkswagen Tiguan battery size (UK)
Every Tiguan 2016-2025 model engine (Mar 2016 to Apr 2025) is listed with stop-start, so it needs an EFB or AGM battery - most often a 096 AGM (096 EFB or 115 AGM on some engines). Match the size code and type on the battery you are replacing; every engine is in the tables below.
Key takeaways
- Tiguan 2016-2025 model: stop-start on every engine - EFB or AGM, most often 096 AGM.
- UK size codes (063, 096, 027...) are printed on the battery label - match yours, including AGM or EFB.
