Not sure if you guys have seen this page but it list the colours that are available with renderings of each colour to give you an idea what they look like: https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/volksw...ide-and-prices
It is a UK site so not sure if all colours are available in Aus/NZ.

This Italian review of the R-line has a nice walk-around of the Indium Grey Metallic. Looks very classy with the 20" Suzuka wheels.

Hey guy's, I have a question regarding the Active Info Display. All the online videos that I have watched have shown the Active Info Display
with Red/Orange Tacho & Speedo needles. If you watch this video below on this particular R Line's AID, which was the vehicle VW NZ used to go round all the dealerships recently has white Tacho/Speedo needles. Does this mean that the colour can be changed somewhere in the vehicle settings? Video link below

Not sure, if you look at the Italian review above at the start it shows the AID with white needles as well. Obviously since it is a LCD display it can be easily customised so it is possible the R-Line has it programed in the white (to make it look sportier) and the standard models have it programmed in the orange.

What I am curious about is whether the NZ versions of the Discover Pro 8" coming in the Tiguans have the DAB radio.

[IrishKiwi08]

I have a Discover Pro 8" on my current Golf and it does not have DAB but I believe it has been updated since then, so maybe the new Tiguan will have this. Regarding the white Tacho & Speedo needles I stopped by the dealer this afternoon and there was a black fwd Tiguan with the exact same Active Info Display in white. The salesman is going to send an email to VW NZ on Monday to see if he can get an answer to my question

[NZ_GolfR]

Interesting. Do you know if that Tiguan was a Highline or Comfortline? Could be the Comfortline has the orange and the Highline (which the R-Line is built on as in Europe it is an option pack) has the White??

It was a Highline 2WD which has the Active Info Display as an optional extra here in NZ. Rechecked Video's on You Tube and they all had Orange needles (highline models) with exception to the Italian review that you pointed out to me. So really is a mystery as far as I am concerned.

[NZ_GolfR]

It is all very confusing with the different VW models in the different countries. Looking at the models available in Aus the only 2WD options is in their Trendline and their Highlines are all 4WD yet we don't have a Trendline. Plus they get a manual option in the 2WD Trendline that we don't have at all.

The R-Line reviews I quickly looked back at on You Tube all seemed to show white needles on them.
