MY17/MQB Platform Tiguan Discussion Thread

Or this, a R turbo for the GTI and possibly new Tiguan engines ..... APR - High Performance Development for Audi, VW and Porsche Vehicles.

287kw .....

I think 287kw should be sufficient for a low 4's 0-100 time...

Brochure for the German release is up at:

http://www.volkswagen.de/content/medialib/vwd4/de/dialog/pdf/tiguan0/tiguan_katalog/_jcr_content/renditions/rendition.download_attachment.file/tiguan_katalog.pdf

Looks like they have:

- 132 TSI 4MOTION
- 110 TDI FWD
- 110 TDI 4MOTION

Be interesting to see what variants we get here in Oz.

Looks good, 20's as a factory option too - hope we get a 165TSI option though...

[tigger73]

Good news is the 132TSI is a 2.0 litre and not the 1.8. Fingers crossed its just a detuned version of the 162TSI.

Sounds nice.
I can dump the S3 turbo into Tiguan and the s3 can get stage3 kit.
Not wasting the parts. 280kw Tiguan and 380+kW s3. Haha dreaming

Sounds like a plan!

Sorry of this has been covered elsewhere in this thread, but are details regarding internal and external dimensions available yet? I'm hoping the new Tiguan sits in between the Golf and the Touareg in terms of size, rather than just being a taller Golf like the current model is.

Page 25 of the German spec/pricelist has illustrations of the FWD and 4MOTION variants with the dimensions...

The link earlier in the thread wasn't working for me. Not sure if there was another link posted but it doesn't matter now. Thanks!

There's a couple of reviews of the new Tiguan on snow:

Volkswagen Tiguan 2016 Review - motoring.com.au

First look: 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan

Model line-up and engines are still TBA, however my guess is we get the AWD 132kW and 162kW petrols and 140TDI with 176TDI to come later (perhaps).

As far as a FWD entry level model I'm not sure whether VW will bring a manual only 1.4l 92kW petrol engine in. I'm sure they would prefer a DSG option as well but according to the article this looks like it's only available in an AWD 110kW variant.

I guess we'll still have to wait and see what unfolds.

Would love to see the 140TDI, I would have thought they would bring the 110TDI to match the Golf (but would be happy to be proved wrong!)

The current was not really just a taller Golf. It was a car with a bigger interior than the Golf with the 4Motion drivetrain of a Golf R. Sort of a taller Golf R with a detuned engine and more space really.

New 1 looks awesome ....

They get the bi-turbo diesel... but only a 132kW 2.0TSI.
