  • MY17/MQB Platform Tiguan Discussion Thread

    Currently we have in South Africa what is known as the "facelift" Tiguan. It wears the new corporate VW grille , slightly different real light cluster and a DSG 'box in place of the Tiptronic.

    In view of recent events ( http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...pie-80393.html ) I now have to order a new car...

    Do I buy a used Tiguan and wait it out (the new release) or is that too far into the future?

    What say those in the know?

    First I have to be clear and say I have no inside knowledge.

    However given that the facelift has only been out for a year (in Aus at least), I'm giving it a good year or 2 before something new arrives - 2014-2015.

    They will probably have a "refresh" sometime this year (mid-model) and then do some "run-out" deals towards the end.

    That's just the formula I see being used in the car industry as a general rule - no knowledge specifically where development about the new, bigger, improved Tiguan.

    I actually suspect VW will bring out a car slightly smaller than current Tig and then release the "new" Tig to fit right between the little Taigun concept and the Toureg.

    That's just what I see happening from an outsider perspective.

          Just thought I'd dig up this thread and start some discussion about the 2015 Tiguan as it's getting a little closer. One thing is definite that it will be based on the new MQB platform and share some of the same motors. AWD models will have the same Gen5 Haldex as the Mk7 Golf R. Only clues regarding exterior styling is from some recent concept cars.

          This may or may not be how the new 2015 Tig looks like:

            Quite liking the solid looks of the top one.. and there seems to be some modern Porsche elements in the interior concept (no bad thing).

            Could be after one of these around 2018-19.

                I haven't seen anything/concepts mentioned at all so i would hazard a guess at 2016 for release later that year.
                This is purely based on the fact the Mk 1 was released in 2008 and the facelift in 2012 so another 4 years would bring us to the model update in theory.

                  +1 this. There have been some spy shots with Tiguan Mk II mechanicals with a Touran body stuck on it floating around so definitely under development though slated for 2015 in Europe which will probably mean 2016 here in Aus.

                  I am hoping that with the growth in the small/medium SUV market that they'll give it some real attention and make it the must have smaller SUV like it was when it was launched back in 2008.

                    I'd read 2015 somewhere as well, based on the above sounds about right.

                    Based on the number of smaller SUVs coming out of Europe these days I am guessing their market is travelling like ours. It is still definitely the must have if you're an enthusiast and wish to do any number of things to it as per this forum, but in other areas it no longer is and as you know that pushed me in a different direction when I required one seven months ago (as I had zero intention of modding it - I know when I was testing the Tig I was already thinking about what I might do lol).

                          Just for reference that is the Touran (people mover) not the Tiguan body.

                            Yes it's a Touran body with the next gen Tig running gear.

                              Well discussions with my local dealer today is that there will be another refresh of the Tig for MY15 due around September this year. There's no MQB Tig on the horizon.... possibly due in 2 years / 2016
