MY17/MQB Platform Tiguan Discussion Thread

and no bi-xenons ?? .... boohoo

For the 132TSI/130TDI the R-line option will include: 18" alloys, sport suspension, gearshift paddles, R-line exterior trim (body kit), R-line cloth interior.

The Passat 130TDI Highline currently runs the same motor.

Spoke to my local dealer today and MY15 stock has been allocated out to dealers. Cars are due to hit the wharves in early Sept with "official" launch in mid-late Sept.

Though given dealers are running short on Golf and Polo I'm sure they'll be keen to get their hands on anything they can sell.

If you can't find a My15 in the colour/options you're after then these can be ordered with delivery in Jan 2015.

First cab off the rank is an update for the Tiguan compact SUV that arrives in September, which should see the company through until the all-new model lands in 2016.

“Right now we still have two more years to go of the current generation Tiguan,” Mr White said.

“We’re going to be announcing in September fairly significant changes to the Tiguan for the 2015 model year and the first thing that we’re doing is upgrading it.”

This will include a rear-view camera, rear parking sensors and colour touch-screen as standard, and Mr White said the Tiguan’s diesel variant will also gain more power.

“We’re going to be significantly upgrading the diesel variant with a 130kW TDI engine, which is going to bring us to leadership in that class,” he said.

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel in the current Tiguan makes 103kW and 320Nm and the new oil-burner is likely to be a similar engine to the 130kW/380Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo unit from the 130TDI Passat.

The new Tiguan

I had a test drive of the 130KW diesel Tiguan on Monday ,It was pretty good plenty of power came with a few extra accessories like a reverse camera and chrome roof rails , of cause the price has increased its now $44990 on road but they will negotiate I got them done to $42,900 but they only offered me $12,000 for my Golf GT so ill have to wait till I sell mine on carsales ,

Did you see the new 155 R-line too?

You'll always do a better deal when you have cash in your hand rather than a trade-in... and also when they have a bit more stock and they can't play funny buggers about not having many cars = being able to charge full RRP.

[mr gee]

Thought you had this in mind

[onyertod]

Ian, Thanks for this. My missus has one coming on a lease but is a bit short on detail re the updates.

Does it come with sat-nav or is that even more $$$?

thanks,

Max

[tigger73]

The 155 Rline comes standard with sat nav (RNS510). All the others have the RCD510 with Reverse camera (RVC).

The 132tsi and 130tdi get sports seats with tray tables, chrome trims on the windows and roof rails plus what used to be called the comfort pack with rain sensing wipers and dual zone climate control.

So basically, if you want a manual, you have to go the 1.4 twincharged FWD model...........

Yes manual is limited to the entry level FWD 118TSI to keep pricing in the sub $30k bracket. Everything else is DSG.

VWA has also taken out park assist as standard and won't be offering front sensors as an option by the looks of things either.

Also on the omissions list is adaptive cruise control too

However the R-line package is a good option as it sets the Tiguan apart from a lot of other SUVs with grey plastics.

155TSI now really loaded for the price. Looks like a steal really, and if you add a corp discount to that, low $40K driveaway is doable and such a bargain. Totally new model must be close .......

New model won't be released until late 2015 in my opinion.
If you want one not in the first batch (usually fully loaded with options to bump up the price) you will have to wait until March/April 2016 i would guess.

[tigger73]

I pick up the New upgrade model on Tuesday 130KW diesel white was trading the Golf in but only offered $12,000 plus a cash price drive away deal total price of $30,000 decided to sell my car privately .

Ok sold the Golf for $15,000 stepped up to the Pepper grey metallic cash adjustment of $28,000 so the extra saving of nearly $3,000
Pick it up Tuesday free mats and a full tank of Diesel

Yes the only thing you can option on the 155TSI is a sunroof - apart from metallic paint of course. Everything else comes as standard.

And the other nice thing is that all the R-line models now come with DSG paddle shifters on the steering wheel (finally!!!). Though it is a fairly expensive option if all you want is paddle shifters.

MY15 Tiguans are at dealer showrooms now, however the VW website still has the MY14 specs up. Runout special on the MY14 Tiguan is on until the end of the month at which time any of the remaining MY14 cars will likely end up as demos.

So if you want front sensors/Park Assist 2 or you like the 16" San Diego alloys then you'll need to get one of the remaining MY14 AWD models.

Here's a picture of the new 132TSI/130TDI wheel option (Philadelphia 17”):
