    I've started looking at replacement options for the other half's Passat. She is insisting on 7 seats again even though she never used them when she had them! So the new Mazda CX-9 will get a look in again along with the Kia and Hyundai 7 seaters.

    While I'm not opposed to another Mazda, I suspect their 2.5 petrol turbo will suck only slightly less 91 RON than the 3.5 V6 did - 24 l/100kph around town thank you. 10 on highway. I don't want a diesel as her miles are going to be 95% stop start short trips. A hybrid would be excellent.

    Does anyone know how big the Tiguan 7-seater will be? Is it a SKodiaq re-skinned in terms of size? Are we expecting a hybrid Tiguan?

    I gather the Skodiaq will be here end of this year but 7 seat Tiguan mid 2017?
    Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.
    Current:- Amarok V6 Sportline; Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD
    Previous - Mk 6 R manual; Mk 7 R manual; Passat 130 TDi Wagon. Mk 7.5 Wolfsburg Wagon.

    All I can say is despite apparently being only slightly bigger than the current gen Tiguan, the new model looks bigger on the road to me. Interior wise it feels LOTS bigger.

    Confirms my suspicion that overall it's a good design but it's weakest angle by far in the rear three quarter - especially the tails.

    Obviously a picture only goes so far but the boot looks bigger.. that contributed to the current gen being scrubbed off our list at the time.

    Yeah the boot is tonnes bigger and front on the car looks like a beast. No R specs on the floor sadly (it was a very small regional dealer. I was actually surprised to even see one at all out here!)

    Nicely spotted mattaus!

    I have just returned from 5 weeks in Europe with 3 of those weeks in or near Germany and did not see a single new Tig! Lots of other VWs, in fact by far the most common car on the road ...... I even stopped at a VW dealer in Fussen in Bavaria (near Neuschwanstein Castle) to have a look at whats on the floor.

    EDIT: I did see a V6 TDI prototype Amarok though ..... go figure .... and a whole 3 weeks before they were officially announced!

    Yeah we were walking through Munich and a new Tig with advertising plastered all over it drove right past us so I figured if I saw a dealer on our road trip I'd pop in. Had a good laugh with the salesman (once I found one who spoke English) about how he wouldn't be getting a sale out of me ha-ha.

    Australian specs are out for the 2017 Tiguan: 2017 Tiguan - Road Vehicle Descriptor

    Looks like the initial specs are showing 110TSI and 132TSI engines only (no diesel at this stage). I suspect VW aren't going to release a diesel until they clear out all the MY15 130TDI's that are caught up in the dieselgate saga.

    Also there's no 162TSI either, though there are wheel options from 17 x 7 up to 20 x 8.5

    2017 Tiguan Sportline - Tigger73's 162TSI Sportline

    2016 Scirocco R, stage 1, 205kwaw (sold) - Tigger73's Scirocco R Build
    2013 Tiguan 155TSI, stage 1, 144kwaw (sold) - Tigger73's 155TSI Build
    2011 Tiguan 125TSI, Stage 2+, 152kwaw (sold)
    - Tigger73's 125TSI Build

    You can also download the latest brochure (PDF) from VW UK. I did that yesterday. It has all the models except the 162TSI in there. Also has details of the 176kw BiTDI ....

    Heads-up display and digital dash looks awesome.

    This is still #1 pick for my wife's car replacement next year, though the timing may interfere with the arrival of my Mustang ......
