2011 tiguan Facelift!

[Sanman]

I can just imagine what the people who say the boot is too small NOW will be saying with two extra people stuffed in there !! I find it pretty hard to believe frankly, imo even a vehicle the Touareg's size is pushed with seven seats !! Why would you bother, if you've got that many people to move get a people mover not a small suv !!

All compact 7 seater SUVs (look at the US 7-seater RAV4 for a close comparison) are 200mm or more longer than the Tiguan. So the Chinese version (have you seen the Chinese market version of the Passat?! Awful) would be a local stretch. I can't see VW spending engineering $ to fill a market need that they closed the door on when they first designed the Tiguan.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I thought it better than starting a new one.

I have heard today that a new configured Tiguan could be at the earliest October 2010. Given that I am now wondering how long I might need to wait to get the 2011. Has anyone heard anything more definite about release, specs etc?

Nothing been released at Geneva Motor Show as yet re Tig facelift but if goes ahead you think it would be a MY11 model which would start production around June/July this year.

Apparently the new tiguan model isn't due until 2015.
There was a press release on vortex that i found earlier that showed future VAG models.

The facelift will only come when demand for the current models drops, otherwise, why bother with the facelift.
There is still a 5-6 month delay for the tiguan to be built and delivers and last month sales for VWAus the Tiguan outsold the Golf so why fix what isn't broken is their idea i reckon.

If it does happen, it won't be until midway through 2011 at the very least.
There haven't been any concept pictures or spy shots of an actual facelifted model that i have found.
You would think Geneva motorshow would be the place to show off your new model as well as it is the biggest motorshow of the year along with Frankfurt.

So you think it unlikely they will introduce a Track and Field option, or a wolfsburg or the R?

We may get the track and field but that isn't a facelift per se, its just a modified front end already available in most other countries.

We won't get the Wolfsburg or the R-Line as they only get them in Euro/North America.

Damnit, this is exactly what I was afriad of! I'm going to start a new thread - "Tigs are no damn good"!

or maybe "Hyundia rules, Tigs are crap"

Hate to tell you but the R-Line has been in NZ for months, must just be Ausi who've decided not to get any !!

Whoops,
Forgot about NZ

But you guys get the scirocco and the Golf R already so your market is dramatically different to ours.

[phaeton]

Facelift will be here in a year or two

Yep, had the Sirocco for a long time and Golf R is on my dealers floor now !!
