MY17/MQB Platform Tiguan Discussion Thread

OK colours stolen from the UK brochure but here's likely what we'll be getting at launch:

Pure White, Tungsten Silver, Indium Grey, Deep Black, Habanero Orange, Ruby Red, Caribbean Blue

[tigger73]

And word has it that the R-line will only be available in white, silver, grey and black - not any rainbow colours. Would have been hot to see one of these R-lines in the orange!!!

[Nealo]

So this is what the R-Line will look like?
These are the 20" wheels Oz will be getting?



I want the Tiguan in that picture!

[tigger73]

Yes the Trendline and Comfortline get 17" wheels, Highline gets 18's and the R-line gets the Suzuka 20's (same as above).

Are the 18's we're getting on the Highline the bottom red Tiggy with the 5 spoke rims (I like the look of those)?

[tigger73]

OK Alloys are as follows:

Trendline - Montana 17"




Comfortline - Tulsa 17"




Highline - Kingston 18"




R-line - Suzuka 20"

Are the 18's we're getting on the Highline the bottom red Tiggy with the 5 spoke rims (I like the look of those)?

To answer your question they're the top orange picture with the guy in the green jacket.

[andrew7]

Thanks Tigger, great intel. I'll be going for a pure white Highline, so will probably have the Kingston's painted gloss black for the old stormtooper look 😊

Pro's: The red looks more vibrant than teh weird burgundy in the Gen 1 and 2.

Con's: The orange is disgusting and the Blue looks like they have gone back to the Catalina Blue from the Gen 1 that they dropped because practically no one bought it.

The wheels look like remakes of other wheels.

Tulsa 17"s look like downsized Santiago 19"s from the Mk7 GTI PP.

Suzuka 20"s look like a metallic version of the Audi fin spoke 19"s from the A6 (2005-0

The orange is disgusting

If that's the orange in the photo with the bloke in the green jacket then I have to say I quite like it. I did nearly buy an S3 in Misano Red which looks similar in the sun.

I've been looking for a replacement for our Passat. My wife insists on 7 seats and I was hoping the CX-9 would come in at mid $50s for the sensible model. It looks like Mazda are being muppets again with options. "You would like a button to close the boot sir? It's very heavy and your wife can't close it. Certainly, that will be $10k thank you - it's part of an options pack bundled with a whole load of stuff you don't want! Oh you want all the safety features as well. That'll be another $10k - they are bundled with a whole load of fancy trim that you don't want either" $70+k I think not.

I'll wait and see what the 7 seat Tig and Skodiaq come out with...
