Saw a Tiguan 2.0TSI - MY11?

[Spook]

The MY11 Tiguan is now on the official VW website. Brochure has been updated also.

I see the colour palette has changed slightly - there is now a Night Blue metallic, and a Pepper Grey metallic.

Nice to see the better fuel economy and speed to 100km jump for the petrol engines. 1.1 sec faster for the 125kw and 1.3ltr better ltr/100km.

...1.1 sec faster for the 125kw and 1.3ltr better ltr/100km.

That's substantial! Without going to the website to investigate, would these figures relate to the new auto gearbox or diesel models only? What about factory TSI gains in that department?

Updated Tiguan Brochure

Finally decided to get off their @$$. Here's a copy:

Would've been nice to have seen something like this, before committing blindly to an order and a 4-5 month wait.

Not happy about the reason for the holdup ... had to wait for Wally to photoshop some NSW Euro plates into the pics.
But Wally, the front & rear plates don't match! So is this suppose to be a pic of a stolen Tig just before it was used to run down a few ATMs?


Anyhow thank God he didn't try to redo the white Tig in the distance. That would've been another month's wait.

After reading the spec on the 147 TSI, I'm really happy to see that it is faster and uses less fuel. Glad I waited for mine.

Finally faster (on paper) than a 125TSI manual.

Likewise. O-100Km in 7.4s.. It's worth the wait...

Not a real fan of that dark blue colour.

And can someone please explain to me how the 125TSI Manual can be faster in the 0-100km/hr when the 2011 engine is outputting the same power as the 2010 125TSI Manual?

The My11 advert was on tv just before.

Drive away $39,XXX

I paid 37k so those are some bloody expensive badges and steering wheel upgrade.....
I also got pearl paint and floor mats thrown in so it makes the disparity even more apparent.

Had a look at a MY10 at the dealer and it appears to have the same HVAC controls as the MY11, and boy, does it feel cheap!! Esp the two control knobs, felt loose and horrible......

Good on you for paying 37K for yours, I guess so does everyone else here were able to some discount too, no one pays full RRP price for a new car, what you see on TV advertised is VW's RRP driveaway price, the FACT is the MY11 gets the DSG and new nicer steering wheel upgrade for the same price as the MY10 car. Basically's it's a FREE upgrade and NOT a bloody expensive upgrade.
Just because your MY10 car does not have all the NEW gears, stop trash talk it.

The RRP is for the base model and as such does not include the new DSG box costs.
How on earth a new steering wheel (that is already used in the mk6 golf, thus reducing costs due to mass production) and a 4Motion badge ($2 worth at most) can amount to an approx 2.5k increase in base price makes no sense.

With the AU dollar going upwards, i don't see how they can increase the RRP when they haven't value added to the base model.

It isn't a free upgrade as you are paying 2.5k more than the RRP for a MY10 car and you get no extra functionality or value.
(Note that the RRP for the MY10 base spec tiguan was $36,990)

I dont know where you getting your sources from mate, I have just rang VW to check up the delivery date of mine MY11 car. I also asked them if the prices had been increased for the whole ranges of the Tiguan from MY10 to MY11, the answer is NO, no price increase, Basically the DSG replaced the 6 Speed AUTO and a NEW steering wheel added for free, I say new because it have never been fitted to a Tiguan before, and it's **** load better looking and feel than the old one. I dont care they took it off a Gold MK VI and fitted to the Tiguan, I only care cause it a improvment and better than the old one.

My sources are the TV adverts for the MY10 and MY11 Tiguan base spec (manual 125TSI).
I would believe the tv advertised RRP prices over the word of a salesman who in most cases knew less about the car than i did.

The new steering wheel had to be added as the MK5 is no longer in production, thus the MY11 cars get the in production MK6 steering wheel.
