I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[aussietig]

That isn't an option here in NZ for us either. We don't have an R Line pack to add, we get one R Line model that only has the 162TSI engine and that is it, there is no TDI R Line option for us at all so we have even less options. We have a 110TDI or a 132TSI in the Comfort and Highline or you go to the 162TSI R Line.

Personally that is fine for me as I only wanted the 162TSI engine since I am coming from a Golf R and didn't want anything too much slower. A quick ECU upgrade and I can be similar power to what I current have if I want though I don't think I will do that straight away, maybe later down the track.

I can see how some people might want the styling of the R Line but prefer the cheaper engine options but since we are on the other side of the world I guess our options are a bit more limited. This may just be for the initial release and more options/variations maybe available down the track, were all options and variations available when the Gen1 was initially released?

Correction accepted and point taken on the R Line.

But my point is still valid ... no Highline in Oz for the 132TSI or 110TDI, but available everywhere else.


Yes ... I have no doubt VWA will give in if the coercion will actually hurt overall sales or profits.

I can confirm that dealerships are able to order the 162TSI on the NADCON system now. The sales manager at the dealership provided me with a commission number this afternoon.

Placed my order today - 162TSI Highline with DAP in Indium Grey. Jan/feb delivery. It'll be my first VW.

Nice and welcome to the VW family!

Our new Tiguan will be our 4th VW plus 2 audi's. Seems to be quite a few 162 owners on the forum. Welcome to the VW family.

I ordered 140TDI Highline on 1st Sept. They have told me mid to late Nov delivery. Coming from mk7 GTI, I hope I will not be too disappointed with performance. We had a GTD before the GTI and I loved the way that thing powered through the winding mountain roads, so I'm thinking the Tiggy should be ok.
Expecting it to be pretty special, because it was quite expensive.

Ahh, another former GTD owner! In the silliest move I ever made I sold my GTD and switched to an A200CDI. OK, but it sure doesn't drive like the GTD! I'll be moving to a 140TDI Tig at some point next year, and can barely wait!

Nice to have you agree that GTD was special. So disappointing that VW shelved them. I think that torque is far more important than an impressive PS figure at ridiculous revs------400nm sounds good to me. Lock it in 4th and it'll pull like a train between 50 and 120.

The 130TDI Tig drove really well so I'm expecting the 140TDI to be that little bit better again.

Specs on the gen1 130TDI Tig are 130kW/380Nm and 0-100 in 8.5sec. Compared to the specs on the gen2 140TDI Tig with 140kW/400Nm and 0-100 in 7.9sec.

And just for completeness the Mk6 GTD had 125kW/350Nm and 0-100 in 8.1sec. So hopefully the 140TDI Tig should have similar pull. I know when it's coupled to the7 speed DSG it works really well as the short-shifting works really well with the diesel engine.
