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

[Ricka]

Interesting - I don’t see any suggestion on the equipment lists for front passenger electric seat nor heated outer rear seats - something everyone was expecting in the MY19 update to reflect what was on the Allspace. Thoughts?

I saw the dealer presentation pack on the MY19 during the week, and it lists the electric passenger seat.

Pretty sure the rear seats are not heated though.

The VW Australia website has just updated the online configurator with the MY19 models - I just noticed there seems to be a new colour/design for the rear bumper / diffuser on the R-Line models changing from black to silver. I hope they stick to black for the Wolfsburg edition otherwise the silver is going to look a bit out of place!

Finally, good to see the MY19 there. However they no longer provide drive away pricing, just "Contact a Dealer".

Loaded petrol Highline totals $58,090. Does anyone know what the ORCs would be in Vic?

I believe ORC is usually $6,000. But ofcourse there is room for bargaining there.

VW suggests the MY19 Tiguan has an easy entry function for the driver, does anyone know what it is and whether the MY18s had it?

This can be enabled on the MY17 and later just a coding change, I had it turned on in mine for a while but found it a bit pointless.

What it does is when you turn the car off it slides the drivers seat all the way back then when you get back in and start the car it returns the seat to the saved position. Would probably be more beneficial if you were shorter and sat close to the steering wheel but I’m 6 foot and have the seat pretty far back so didn’t make much difference. I also found it didn’t always return the seat forward so I would have to push the button on the side of the seat for it to return, when I looked at the diags to see why it looks like it the battery voltage drops too low when car if off then this doesn’t automatically work.

I resisted temptation to enable it because I didn’t want my kids getting trapped or bunched up behind my seat. 🤣

Came across this in my travels. Didn't see the pages for the regular Tiguan but I assume it'll be similar.

MY19 Tiguan specs now up on the VW Australia website.

Now that we have folks collecting their Wolfsburg, does anyone know when they are collecting their MY19 Tiguans?

my dealer told me sometime late Oct to early Nov, but wouldnt provide me with VIN etc etc. Should I press for more details?

my MY19 tiguan is on a boat landing in Sydney on October 23rd. I envisage another 5-10 days to clear customs and get to dealer so looking at early Nov pickup (fingers crossed no later. Baby otw mid Dec and want to play with the car before then!)

Vessel name is Asian Vision

I'd be surprised if the recent Wolfy delivery didnt include some MY19 Tigs as well? can anyone confirm?

you can definitely press the dealer for the VIN and/or vessel name
