MY17/MQB Platform Tiguan Discussion Thread

[nickows]

Saw three Gen 2 Tiguans this morning (2 white, 1 blue). They were being driven (not on a transport truck) and heading west over the Blue Mountains. Press cars maybe, or on their way to country dealers in western NSW?

You should go and sell Volkswagen's mate

With regard to the Dynaudio system, i have found this on YouTube which to may find interesting. Also interesting review on the Tiguan as well. The Dynaudio starts around 7:26.

Funny you should mention that, just found out today that one of my customers was thinking about getting an R Line so I gave him my dealers contact details and apparently he was really happy with them and is putting and order through for a white one with sunroof. Now if only I could get commission....

Only downside is now one of my customers is going to have the same looking car, minus the sunroof. At least I know mine will sound better.

Thanks for the video, had already watched it which helped peak my interest in the Dynaudio system going by what he said about it.

Saw them tonight at a launch party. Pretty decent. I was surprised to see folding mirrors on both comfortline variants. One thing I did notice is that with the sunroof optioned you don't get any roof storage at all. Not even a sunglasses compartment. Also they are rather big looking. I'm all for room but I've always been a hot hatch kinda guy so this is a difference to me. It's bigger then the old model but not as big as the toureg. I wouldn't go near a comfortline as they just look way to basic. Want to wait for the R Line. Neither of them had DRLs.

The pics aren't great Coz it was dark

I think it's the DAP that adds the foldng mirrors

According to the pre-launch brochure which I've got, the powered side mirrors come with both the luxury or drivers assistance packs for Comfortline.

Yes folding mirrors are in both option packs. Though if you order both packs you'll get a $250 discount as you won't need the folding mirrors twice

Is that dealer dependent or an automatic system discount? Because I added both to my 132 comfortline and it came up as $5k + $2,250

I do realise that the Highline's DAP was priced at a reduced $2k probably because of the mirrors being part of the highline trim, but didn't think about this saving being extended to the Comfortline combo.

Yes there's a different option code for the DAP for Comfortline vs DAP for Highline because the Highline already has the folding mirrors. I'm guessing that when you option up the Luxury pack on the Comfortline and then add the DAP, the dealer should use the model code for the Highline DAP ($2,000 option) as you'll already have folding mirrors with the Lux pack.

Otherwise get the dealer to check on the system and see how the cars are actually configured that have both packs from the factory. I suspect they're optioned this way. You don't want to pay for the same option twice as it sure isn't going to come with a spare set of mirrors... though that probably wouldn't be a bad thing to get a couple of spare mirror caps.

Here are some pics of the R Line from the launch party last night at Tristram European. Man they really went all out, free food, alcohol (beer, wine, bubbly, rum cocktails), Olympic medal winners that had just returned from Rio, professional dancers and an acrobat that came up out of the sunroof when the car was revealed!! The place was packed so a bit hard to get decent photos plus the lighting wasn't great.

Do the front seats have the R-Line logo on them?

Yes they do. Sorry didn't manage to get a photo of them (too many people wanting to sit in it). Pretty sure they looked just like this:

Thanks mate... Do you also know if they are the bucket seats like the Golf GTI and R? Or are they the same shape as the comfortline?

They aren't as bucket as what is in my current MK6 Golf R which is a pity but guess it is a different type of car. I think they are very similar as what is in the Comfortline just leather.

That's a shame - I'll miss the seats on my MK6 GTI

Glad I ordered an R-Line after seeing those picks
