Volkswagen Australia Tiguan Model Year 2012 (MY12) Changes

Thanks for the info Maverick..
Does this mean that the current shipment that dealers have received for MY12 132kw tigs is 7speed DSG or the Pacific?
I beleive if it is DSG - they will be in demand and will sell like hot cakes...

I believe they will be Pacifics based on the following "We are currently not able to release the Tiguan 132TSI Pacific special models for ordering or the NADCON configurator. Due to this, the Tiguan 132TSI DSG and manual are now available to configure. Please keep this in mind that even though these vehicles are configured as 132TSI DSG & manuals, they will be produced from calendar week 45/2011 or later and will be built as 132TSI Pacific special models with the inclusion of additional features and the automatic gearbox."

It says, "Please keep this in mind that even though these vehicles are configured as 132TSI DSG & manuals, they will be produced from calendar week 45/2011 or later and will be built as 132TSI Pacific special models with the inclusion of additional features and the automatic gearbox"
Does this mean that will start taking new orders from week 45 which will be only Pacifics..

I have been waiting for a 132kw DSG for months.. convinced my wife to decide against the BMW X1.
I do not think Pacifics will be a popular option even though they come with added extras.

I really really hope the current dealer stock is 132kw DSG and they start new orders on Pacifics from Nov 2011 onwards.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

My guess is that we won't see the colour MFD until the Golf Mk VII is released and even then it may be only standard on GTI and R models. It may not even be released then, given VW has been reducing the number of options on the cars it's very unlikely it would be offered as an stand alone option like they do in Europe.

The market's moving fast - $20k Mitsu Lancer has colour MFD and bluetooth, not sure if this is 'premium' any more

How about the price? Same as MY11?

Yes, initial dealer stock of 132kw does have the DSG. Hope you can find what your looking for.

Hope this is right. Is what you're saying that initial shipments will be 132TSI DSG, then at some point DSG's are no longer available so the Pacific model with the tiptronic will be available until at some point mid 2012 they reintroduce the DSG? This seems at contrast with the details posted by Maverick

VW say any 132TSI's built from CW 45 will the pacific spec.

I sincerely hope this information is correct that dealers have 132kw DSGs.
Any info on release date and pricing..

Just spotted a heap of new Tiguans in the dock holding yard in Fremantle... Hope there are some 132TSI DSGs in there for you guys.

Are you sure they were new face lift models? Dealer previously told me that end November 2011 was earliest delivery date.

Positive they're facelifted ones... they look like every other current model VW with the horizontal grille lol

The current/old model is on runout with limited stock so they're not gonna be shipping in another load of them.

Wonder if we will get this R Line? Probably not, as VW don't want to offer stuff all options on the updated tig! would be nice though!
I'd buy one, anyone else too?

For what it's worth the facelift model is available from the dealers in NZ NOW.
