The body shape is more Q5/Macan/Forester, as the article says like a mini Touareg

Anyone tested the new MY16 Tiguan R-Line's Discovery Media system yet?
Looking at the Tig as a possible second car.

I believe the first MY16 cars will only land in Australia in August.

My local dealer isn't expecting to get hold of any of the new Tiguans until end of next year - like Nov/Dec 2016. Even then VW choose what models, colours, and accessories they ship out to the dealers in the first batch, and if you don't like what's offered and want to order your own spec, then it'll more likely be 1Q 2017 before you get one!

So, if you're willing to wait 18 months ok, but I decided to order one of the current ones instead. It may not have the most up to date styling, or all the bells & whistles some of the newer competitors have, but after exhaustively test driving about everything in the class over the last few months I still think the current Tig is the best drive of the bunch.

Yes, I've also got an MY16 on order which will be arriving in November. But that's the last facelift of the 'old' Tiguan using the PQ35 platform, launched in 2007, not to be confused with the completely new model model based on the MQB platform, which is widely expected to be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, but won't be arriving in the Australian dealers until the end of next year (Dec 2016).

I think we might have to change the title of the thread. Possibly a little hopeful that we were going to get the new Tig a bit sooner but looks like it will be MY17 now before we see it here....

Still yet to see any photos/images of it. Either the spy photographers aren't really interested in it or VW is doing a good job of keeping it under wraps.

Forget rounded wheel arches and a few mm of extra length, read somewhere that the new Tig will have an internet-linked infotainment system - now that'll be interesting!
