Tiguan MY18 Updates / Spec Changes

[AEROBERGERKLOPS]

My18 might be this called Tiguan allspace introducing a third row and overall larger. If so then I'm not much of a fan.

The Tiguan Allspace/ Tiguan XL will just be an extended wheelbase variant that will be available along side the current mk2 Tiguan. Looks pretty plain, but so does the current ones. I would like to see one in R-Line guise!

In regards to the my18 upgrades, they should be pretty similar to the golf 7.5 ones. I wonder if the Tiguan will get the cascading turn signals

Unfortunately there are still quite a number of unknowns:

When will the MY18 spec be announced?
When will it be available for order in Australia?
What delivery month will that correspond with?

I have been quoted approx August delivery for my order although of course no build date yet so it's a bit of a guess. Maybe I will automatically receive an MY18.

when did you place your order?

Is there any official news on this? Seems like all speculation at the moment.

Yep all speculation at the moment and for the next couple of months until the MY18 specs are released. Dealers don't want people holding off on purchases so VW won't release the specs until closer to the time.

The good thing about buying a January built car is that it will hold it's value a little better at resale time. Good thing about buying a June built car is that it has the updated spec which can sometimes help in resale if people are chasing particular options.

However there's never a good time to buy a car as it's always a bad investment.

So you should make your purchasing decision based on enjoyment and what makes you and your family happy

Haha true fair enough.

Cheers, mine was 2nd March, we'll know more in the coming month or so I guess.

Definitely will do. My dealer mentioned I might be able to reorder when the new spec comes out. I guess the original would turn into a dealer order or maybe they could reassign it to someone who doesn't want to wait.

I might have to cancel my order and wait for this..

It's an interesting proposition, I would have thought once the production lines change over to the new model that's it. So if our builds land after the change over we'll get the updated model. A re-order would come into play if the build was going to be a before the cut over you'd think?

This came out this morning from the 2017 Golf 7.5 update

"Comfortline and Highline models can be optioned with the Infotainment Package, which includes the 12.3-inch Active Info digital instrument display, Discover Pro 9.2-inch satellite navigation system with gesture control and voice control (pictured above), along with a 400W Dynaudio Excite audio system with 10-channel digital amplifier and subwoofer."

Is it safe to say that the MY18 Tiguan will follow suit?

Interesting - Dynaudio finally making a comeback in Australia..

That would mean a new option on top of the highline adding dynaudio and discover pro. Adding further to the cost. I was hoping discover pro would be included into the highline by default at least. Well let's see..

Tiguan MY18 release date / updates

Just sent a message to my sales rep questioning that article and possibility for the Tiguan. Will update when he replies. Although he did say initially there had been no updates about MY18 for the Tiguan just yet but he'll look into it.

Discover Pro is included in the highline by default.
