Volkswagen TiguanMATCH ETSI 1.5 [150] PETROL DSG AUTOMATIC

The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan eTSI Match is a notable addition to the compact SUV market, bringing a balance of performance, practicality, and tech-forward features that appeal to a wide range of drivers. As part of VW's hybrid range, the eTSI Match adds a mild-hybrid system to the Tiguan lineup, offering improved fuel efficiency without compromising too much on driving dynamics.

On the exterior, the Tiguan eTSI Match carries the recognizable, clean lines of the Tiguan family. It features a bold front grille with sharp, LED headlights and an overall athletic stance. The Match trim comes with distinctive alloy wheels and subtle detailing that gives it a polished, yet understated look. It's not overly flashy but fits the VW mold of modern, refined aesthetics.

The heart of the Tiguan eTSI Match is its 1.5-liter eTSI mild-hybrid engine. This turbocharged unit offers 150 horsepower, paired with a small electric motor that assists during acceleration, helping to smooth out power delivery and boost fuel economy. The mild-hybrid system also provides start-stop technology and energy recuperation, making urban driving more efficient.

While it's not designed to be a high-performance SUV, the Tiguan eTSI Match feels confident on the road. It handles daily commutes and highway drives comfortably, with responsive steering and solid suspension. The ride quality is more comfort-oriented, soaking up bumps with ease. However, those seeking thrilling acceleration or sporty handling may find the Tiguan eTSI's performance adequate but not exhilarating.

Inside, the Tiguan eTSI Match impresses with its spacious and well-built cabin. Volkswagen has maintained its tradition of quality materials and thoughtful ergonomics, with soft-touch surfaces, intuitive controls, and a clean dashboard design. The digital cockpit and central touchscreen infotainment system (which includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and navigation) are user-friendly and packed with features. The Match trim also includes keyless entry, adaptive cruise control, and parking sensors as standard, which makes it competitive in the tech department.

The seating arrangement is practical, with ample room for five passengers and generous cargo space, making the Tiguan an ideal family SUV. The rear seats are flexible, and there’s plenty of legroom in both rows, adding to its overall versatility.

One of the main selling points of the eTSI variant is its focus on improved fuel economy. The mild-hybrid system is particularly helpful in city driving, where it aids stop-start scenarios and improves overall fuel consumption. Volkswagen claims impressive fuel efficiency figures, making the Tiguan eTSI a smart choice for those who want to reduce fuel costs without going full electric or plug-in hybrid.

Volkswagen has equipped the Tiguan eTSI Match with a solid array of safety and driver-assistance systems. Standard features include front and rear parking sensors, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking. These features provide added peace of mind, whether you're navigating busy urban streets or cruising on the highway.
