Stupid thing is they changed the front and not the back, the front was fine

I doubt we'll see the 90kW version being sold in Australia. The 125TSI should be retained, as it is a volume seller. The 147TSI may be replaced by the 155TSI though.

Tiguan take two

On March 1st, Volkswagen will be presenting the new Tiguan in a world debut at the 81st Geneva International Motor Show. Global demand for this Volkswagen has long been very high with 572 000 units delivered worldwide. The small brother of the Touareg is now poised to continue this success with a new look and further advanced technologies.

The Tiguan is still the only SUV in its class that can be ordered in two different versions: one for on-road use and one specially tuned for off-road driving – including the two top trim level models "Track & Style" and "Sport & Style".

New assistance systems such as fatigue detection, the camera-based main beam control systems Light Assist and Dynamic Light Assist, as well as the lane-keeping system Lane Assist will now expand the range of available options.

Also new in the Tiguan: the XDS electronic differential lock. In Europe, the perfected all-round vehicle will launch on the market in August. In Germany, it can already be purchased starting at an entry-level price of €24 175.

This Volkswagen SUV has become a global success, on the one hand due to its technical properties, but also thanks to its striking and timeless design. Volkswagen has further developed its lines, in particular by front and rear restyling that reflects Volkswagen's new design DNA.

The new Tiguan can once again be delivered in two versions with different angle of approach values. While the classic variant was designed more for the challenges of urban driving with an angle of 18 degrees, the Tiguan with the larger 28 degree angle of approach will appeal to those drivers who like to use their SUVs on rough terrain as well.

Three of the seven engines offered in Europe – all of them charged four-cylinder direct-injection engines – are new to the Tiguan engine line-up. The four petrol engines (TSI) produce between 90kW and 155kW. The three diesel engines (TDI) span a power range from 81kW to 125kW. The 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) is also available as an option in the new Tiguan.

All Tiguans with BlueMotion Technology (BMT) also have a Stop/Start system. They reduce fuel consumption by up to 0.7l/100km in the new SUV. Clearly, this Volkswagen – available in either a front-wheel drive or naturally an all-wheel drive (4MOTION) version – is one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in the world.

Dear suparockin...I'm of the opposite opinion...sorry...loved the rear 3/4 look, but wasn't particularly enamored of general/front end particular look. Love the new front end and may consider upgrade...(-:

Wondering too in the interior Pics it shows push button start (Volkswagen's KESSY). This is allready available in 2011 model in Europe/USA will Aus get this in the 2012 update?

Pictures from the Geneva Auto Show:















No changes to the interior.
Same shape tailights so if they are LED i may end up looking at a set for mine.

Not overly fussed on the facelift though, it seems more solid and agressive but it also lost character (our's and the Eos were the only VW's with droopy eye headlights)

[99Reza]

On the same boat with team_v. Not feeling the front end, very generic looking.

[Sharkie]

Taillight shapes are different. Will not be able to fit to current Tiguans without extensive bodywork requried.

I like the front and that would be a far easier retrofit. Bumper, grill, bonnet, lights and fenders L+R. Cost about $5K I think but certainly do-able.

[Maximus]

The interior shot above has features that are missing from the one below that was revealed a few days ago, namely the start/stop button.



I wonder what's up with such inconsistencies.

[99Reza]

Depending on the option?? The first photo is manual whereas the second one is DSG, the second photo also has Dynaudio logo if you look closely on the speaker grille.

Might have to wait for Mk3 I think.

I just realised the outer lights are different

The front end swap could be interesting though.

I know its early, but anyone thinking they "might" have uprated the towing ability?

I'd really like a Tig as our second car, but I want it to be able to tow our 1400kg camper trailer that has 150kg ball weight.
