2022 Tiguan R

[OLI89G]

I’d imagine it would be similar but cheaper than the Ioniq 5 which is being quoted $70k-$80k for base and top of the range will likely top $100k…for a Kia or Hyundai…wowsers!

Not sure how accurate this is however i went on the VW UK website priced one up and full packaged it converted the price to AUS & came in at $97,000 fully optioned. Subject to same specs being available & so on.

That does not really give an accurate indication of the Australian pricing. What you need to do is seek a like for like version, such as the R-Line, take that price and see the difference between that and the R in the pre taxed amount. Whatever percentage it is then apply that to the price of the Australian R-Line.
You will find it equals in the low $70k before on road costs.

The lack of news from vw at the moment for the tiguan R is really killing me. Having already put an order down, I'm itching to get more detail on just how much this car will cost, and what will come as standard.
The other scary thing is that there obviously won't be a test drive prior to Pickup which means I miss out on the added fun of trying before buying

Agreed! My exact thoughts atm. Ive put down a deposit & waiting for Pricing and Specs but havent heard anything.
The Feb 22 date is a ETA could even be longer...(hope not)

When did you put your deposit down to get the Feb 22 date? And also, which state are you based in?
Lastly, do you have an idea what colour you're leaning towards? I was initially looking at the grey but now set on black

Start of September for a Feb 22 release.
Based in NSW.
Always going for the Lapiz Blue for the R. (standout colour)

Ouch ... at that price I would rather buy an electric car for $20k less that comes with a 0-100 km/h in 3 secs

It's not going to be 97k. I Think it'll be a bit of a stretch at 80k optioned out.

Here's hoping VW come out with an AWD Dual Motor Fully Electric Tiguan for ~$70K and I am ready to pre-order

I will be looking at the new Tesla Model Y AWD Dual Motor (maybe made in Tesla's German Giga Factory) when its released in Oz

With 0 - 100 km/h in 3.7 secs that is expected to cost ~ $70K
Model Y | Tesla Australia

I'd pre-order one of those electric tiguans too, but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks mate
really loved your video and it cleared my doubts

[OLI89G]

I bet the following 3 options will not arrive in Australia based on what the VW have sent the Asian market recently.

Very disappointing.

The Akrapovic titanium exhaust system will not be a factory option for Australia.

The sport bucket seats will not be available for Australia.

The black grill and side mirrors along with the roof lining and rear spoiler will not be available for Australia.

I might be wrong lets hope i am.

[mr gee]

You never know, might be saving them for a wolfie

[Vwcorrerog]

From what I've seen online, the au market won't have the opf filter so the stock exhaust should sound good. I was hoping for the akra as I imagine that will sound really good without the filter installed.

From what the dealer told me, the au market should come nearly fully loaded. They told me there might be one or 2 skus initially, but they weren't sure what they'd be.

And lastly, I'm not a big fan of the standard r seats, I think they make the car look cheap and would rather the leather option with electronically adjustable seats.

What are others thoughts on this?

Are you referring to the Bucket type looking seats with the Alcantara finish?
I really love the look of them, the full leather in black makes the interior look very bland and basic - i pay attention to alot of detail possibly over thinking it lol
