Volkswagen has added two new trim levels and a range-topping 230PS 2.0 TSI petrol engine to its Tiguan and Tiguan Allspace SUV ranges.

Match trim replaces the existing SE and SE Nav equipment grades, but also adds a rear view camers, park assist, keyless entry and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Tiguan Match starts from £26,750 on the road with a 1.5 TSI EVO 130PS engine, two wheel drive and manual gearbox, rising to £34,770 with the 190PS 2.0 TDI with 4Motion all-wheel drive and a DSG gearbox.

Match costs £200 more than the outgoing SE Nav trim level, but Volkswagen says the total value of the additional equipment is £1,330.

R-Line Tech replaces R-Tech, and now includes a £1,485 package of options comprising area view, park assist, keyless entry and full electric operation. It is £200 more than the outgoing trim level.

Prices start at £33,150 for the 150 1.5 TSI EVO variant with a DSG gearbox, to £38,335 for the version fitted with a new 2.0 TSI 230PS petrol engine.

The 230 PS engine is offered in both R-Line Tech and SEL Tiguans, and as standard gets both 4Motion all-wheel drive, and a seven-speed DSG gearbox.

This range-topping petrol Tiguan achieves a WLTP-approved 36.7mpg on a combined cycle, with CO2 emissions of 175 g/km.

Deliveries are expected to start later this month, for both Tiguan and Tiguan Allspace variants, in both Match and R-Line Tech trims.
