Volkswagen France announces the return of the special MATCH series on two of its flagship models, the Golf and the Tiguan.
For 40 years, the MATCH special series has been Volkswagen’s promise of well-equipped models with an enhanced standard equipment package and a significant customer benefit. Basically, a low-end engine with high-end features. Simple and brilliant, like all good ideas. It has never lost popularity, and successive series have been released up to the current eighth generation of the Golf. Because the Golf is the model that originally launched the MATCH special series. Volkswagen France has therefore taken the initiative to revive this iconic label.
Volkswagen in the MATCH
This new special series, available from today in France, on the Golf and Tiguan, offers an extensive list of features comparable to the highest-end definitions. Among other features for both models: ‘Discover Media’ navigation and infotainment system, panoramic sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, a wide range of driver assistance systems, light alloy wheels, and keyless entry and start. The benefits are quantified at €1,150 for the Golf and €1,530 for the Tiguan.
Nostalgia on and under the bodywork
Regarding powertrains, nostalgia is also played with a 100% thermal offer! From the 1.0 TSI 110 hp paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a DSG7, to the 1.5 eTSI 130 hp and 2.0 TDI 116 hp with DSG7 for the Golf. As for the Tiguan, it starts with the 1.5 TSI 130 hp paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, then moves to the 1.5 TSI 150 hp and 2.0 TDI 150 hp with DSG7.
Prices start at €33,595 for the Golf 1.0 TSI with manual transmission and €42,300 for the Tiguan 1.5 TSI 130 hp with manual transmission.
This offer will surely appeal to brand loyalists still fond of all-thermal engines and the H grille, but these special features are now very close to the base offers of new market players such as MG. Let’s hope the next MATCH lineup will be largely electrified!
