SPOTLIGHT ON TSI

THE CABIN LOOKED FAMILIAR, EXCEPT for the digital instrument cluster staring me in the face. A small change, but it goes a long way in elevating the cabin experience. The DSG gearbox selector in neutral, I jabbed at the accelerator pedal. The revs rose and fell with an enthusiasm that the older Tiguan lacked. This new Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace had a different vibe to it. Maybe it was the bright orange paint on our test car — something unheard of on the sombre-looking Tiguan. Maybe it had to do with that new TSI engine under the hood. I spent the whole day with it, and managed to confirm my initial impression. The TSI engine at the heart of the Tiguan Allspace had really transformed the SUV and how it felt on the road. This shift, however, was a long time coming.

While we were all at home during the lockdown, the much talked about date to switch from BS4 to BS6 passed us by. The shift on April 1 was a momentous time for the automotive industry, and though it was overshadowed by the covid-19 situation, the country is now on par or better than the rest of the world when it comes to tailpipe emissions from automobiles.
