MY18.5 or MY19 - Difference ? Should I Wait ?

[jolv]

Got quoted with an order now and 3 months delivery wait time

MY19 Tiguan 162TSI Highline + Sound & Vision Package + Rline Package @ $58K DA

Just went to see my dealer and they wouldn't confirm MY19 details just yet.

And she says my delivery time frame is still sitting around Nov'18

I have confirmed that the Tiguan and Allspace specs for MY19 will be the same. I.e. same options packs with”Sound and Vision” having Dynaudio and Active Info Display (fancy dash). Adaptive Cruise being standard in Highline.

The sales manager will have the MY19 specs. This information may or may not have been filtered through to the sales staff (often not) as they want the sales guys selling the current stock and not future orders.

If you really want a MY19 spec I’d threaten to walk out if they don’t want to take your order. Or just go and find a dealer (or broker) who will.

My dealer advised that the first MY19s will land in November. Seems a long time to wait for your MY18.5 though?

not waiting for a MY18.5, the sales manager told me mine would be MY19 thus arriving only in November

OK for anyone wanting to know what the specs are for MY19 (and what is in each option pack), refer to the Allspace specs as a good guide. Though delete the 110TSI and diesel models.....

This info is just from the Allspace brochure on the VW Oz website

MY18.5 or MY19 - Difference ? Should I Wait ?

So does the MY19 Highline come with rear heated seats too, or is that just the Allspace?

LED headlights in the Comfortline would be good. Should have been like that from first release.

Thanks Tigger

It would be good if VW published a MY18.5 to MY19 'difference list'

That way people would know what are the exact changes between the versions

Not sure on finer details like this but assuming VW has lined up the specs of the Tiguan and Allspace they will.

But I haven’t seen the detailed spec compared side to side so can’t say 100% for sure.

Often there is an internal bulletin that just highlights the changes for all models in the range.

This MY change seems to be a bit all over the place with specs on each model getting released in bits and pieces.

They don't advertise the changes cause they want you to buy whats on the floor now not whats coming down the line - sales 101?

They don't want you to know at this stage - that's the point!

There's a chance that VW may not be quite as "generous" with the standard Tiguan as they are with Allspace, as the Allspace is the more expensive vehicle by a few grand or more.

It’s possible, however we’re not going to know for sure until the full specs are released. The Allspace model specs are about the closest thing we have to go by at this stage.

The largest changes are for the Highline with inclusion of Adaptive Cruise, however if the base model gets the upgraded LED headlights that would be worthwhile waiting for if you were looking at a 132TSI.

And of course if you wanted Dynaudio then best to order a MY19 with the option pack.

My dealer tells me MY19 builds commence from week 32-36...

Take that with a grain of salt
