Let us know when you've placed your order and the model/options you're getting.

Just an update on the all-new (MQB) Tiguan which is rumoured to be launched at the Paris motor show in October.

According to the motoring.com.au report "Volkswagen Group Australia managing director John White told motoring.com.au recently that an all-new Tiguan was due on sale globally next year, but it's unlikely to go on sale in Australia until 2016."

That's a good timing for me. Our Tig will be +6years old and I don't like to buy a car in its first or second year of production. But, when the time comes, as always, I will watch the offerings from the other brands as well.

Good timing for me too if I consider buying an another Tig. But not a fan of that new look though...

The photo in the article is actually not the new Tiguan - it's the mini SUV based on the Up!

I'm also hanging out for the new Tiguan as I may be able to hold off until then before changing over vehicles.

Ok! Yeah I now see only two doors in that mini concept SUV Yeah I think it is a good idea to hold off till new MBQ Tiguan model get released if you have finalized the decision buying one. It is not far away according to the news and you don't want to end up with old generation engine and model just after a year when new version is released. Probably any savings buying a run out model will be depreciated with the new model in the market.

I still think that if you're looking for a car now the MY15 with R-line is not a bad choice. These are getting loaded up with a lot of standard equipment so you can pretty much get a fully loaded car for base model prices.

But agree that if you can wait then the new engines and slightly larger vehicle is the way to go (for me at least anyway).

And also by that stage (2016) we may have the Skoda mid-size SUV to compare as well....

Well the first spy shots of the new MQB Tig have surfaced:








This is a test mule with the current model body, however it's on the road and getting driven. More photos and further details here: autoevolution - Spyshots: All-New 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan Will Be Wider


There's also proof of further testing getting done:

So looks like development of the new Tiguan is well under way.

Ha! They somehow found an old wide wheel arch extension kit for Tig test mule Looks like highest power model still going to be in GTI range, 220 hp. But turbo upgrade kits will be more cheaper and common too considering they all going to be TSI Gen 3 engines.

Also will be interesting to see how hybrid turbo electric engines going to look like. Then we can tune both engine and the electric motor to kill some super cars
