MY18.5 or MY19 - Difference ? Should I Wait ?

[Ricka]

Congrats mate!

In my opinion Tungsten silver is hands down the best colour available!! We waited to see what the Wolfsburgs looked like before deciding and while they are nice, we still see the Tungsten as the best colour option

Thanks for that, obviously we agree.

We saw several Wolfsburgs this week at dealers as we shopped for our car. Personally I didn't see enough difference ie above a loaded Highline to justify buying one. It was mainly the dark wheels that differentiated them. Now if they had the 180kW engine, it would be quite a different equation.

The rumours are that the 180kW engine will be here at the end of 2019.

The Wolfy does look great but agreed it’s just a cosmetic makeover. It would be a dealbreaker for me if it had the 180kw (or better) engine.
Also +1 on the Tungsten Silver

Reports frpm German Forums that the Active display is going to be the same as the T ROC from week 48, the T Roc dispaly is two inches smaller Than the Tiguan but seems to do a whole lot more. You can bet that as this type of technology gets more mature it is going to be changed much more frequently.



Information from here 2019 model spec changes - Page 7 - VW Tiguan MK2 Forums

Super shmick

Does this mean the MY19 Tiguan Active Display is going from 12 inches to 10 inches ?

When is Week 48 ?

Is that Week 48 for Australia or some other country ?

This is an internet rumour and all internet rumours are always true.....I think not so let's see what happens. I do think that these new TFT screens will mean a single screen across a lot of cars with software differences and that has happened already so it is possible the T Roc screen could be used.

Agree that standardisation is the name of the game nowadays, but the market trend is for bigger LCD displays, and the current one is not all that big (we drove a current Golf GTI with the display in Germany in August).

That might be a T Roc and Polo-specific one

We picked up our MY19 Highline today, very happy.

Having read the manual - which is less than detailed re the Active Info Display, can I please ask:

How do I change the info displayed in the middle of the 2 round dials? All I see is fuel figures, I'd like to see current speed.

Thanks.

on the MY19 there is a "VIEW" button on the right hand side steering wheel controls

press once to bring up the options and use the UP/DOWN arrows to cycle. OK to select

this should cycle through the different dial options - you'll be after "Gear and Speed"

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try.

Yes all good, thanks for that.

Our dealer was clear by the way : no 1,500km service. Just run it in for that period, no full throttle and no lugging. I am using Sport mode most of the time, to keep it revving. Much less aggressive than S was on our Mk V GTI - which was manic in S.
