are there are real fuel consumption tests for the new Tiguan? I'm after the 130tdi and 155tsi comparison against published fuel consumption results.

Have a check on this thread for others fuel economy figures: Official Fuel Economy Thread (formerly Highway economy).

Although you may not achieve the published fuel economy figures as environmental conditions and driving style can have a large effect, the relative difference between the two cars should still be fairly valid.

The Motor Report did a comparison between the current models and had fuel economy figures. View the article here: 2015 VW Tiguan Review: 155TSI R-Line, 132TSI, 130TDI, 118TSI | The Motor Report

Except in the summary table they swapped around the 130TDI and 132TSI so it should have read:

Model Engine/Trans	Power/Torque	Fuel Claimed	Fuel Tested
118TSI 1.4 litre petrol, 2WD 6spd man / 7spd auto	118kW/280Nm	6.9 / 7.3 l/100km	10.7 (auto)
130TDI 2.0 diesel, AWD, 7spd auto	130kW/380Nm	6.2 l/100km	9.1
132TSI 2.0 petrol, AWD, 7spd auto	132kW/280Nm	8.8 l/100km	11.3
155TSI 2.0 petrol, AWD, 7spd auto	155kW/280Nm	8.8 l/100km	13.1

If you read the full article they say they were getting better than 10l/100km even when giving the 130TDI a good hiding. So the above is the corrected table.

Thanks for that Tigger, bit scared off by the 13l/100km for the 155 tsi, do you know what type of discount I should be expecting for a 155TSI R Line + sunroof or 130 TDI + sat nav + r line + sunroof + leather, both are $51k RRP, can't see much evidence on here on what people are picking them up for.

[tigger73]

I am guessing they were "testing out the performance" of the new 155TSI to get those sort of economy figures. I usually run around 10.5l/100km in city and 9.0l/100km for country trips in my stage 2 125TSI (~200kW). Though on spirited drives the fuel consumption does go up a bit.

I haven't seen any pricing recently. Check with VW as the company you work for may be eligible for corporate discount. If you could get 10% you'd be doing very well. Somewhere between 5-8% off full drive away price is probably more realistic.

ok thanks for that, will see how I go and post back! I think the 130TDI is the one to go for.

Is the 132TSI and 155TSI the same engine setup (as were the 125TSI and 147TSI models)? If so, I'm surprised at the above consumption figures for the 155TSI as I know with my 147TSI vRS Occy, my fuel consumption figures improved after I bluefinned so I would have thought the 155TSI figures would be as good if not better than the 132TSI (if they're the same engine).

The 132 and 155 are the same engine. The guy driving the 155TSI was probably just wringing its neck a bit more. The 132TSI has its power output/curve clamped so running higher into the rev range is not so much fun (effectively loses 23kW). So I'm guessing everyone gave the 155 a bit more of a "test" and hence the worse economy numbers.

OK I'll throw this one out there that apparently along with the 2016 Tiguan, there's also rumoured to be a Tiguan CC version coming out also...



Whether we see this or not is still in question.

[tigger73]

Another "artists impression" of the 2016 Tiguan.



According to insiders it's getting launched at the Frankfurt motor show in September, but we'll just have to wait and see.

VW let some journalists a sneak peak of the new Tiguan here's there impressions - VW turns up design so crossovers will hit right note in U.S.
