Saw a Tiguan 2.0TSI - MY11?

[Sharkie]

The R would be nice but it seems stock is even more scarce than the Tigs. It's probably stretching my budget a little as well.

What I presume Arctra meant is .... the TSI Tiguans have the best of both worlds ... its got the engine of the GTI Golf and the AWD system of the Golf R .... add a single subtle mod being the APR chip and its as quick as the Golf R, yet still with the versatility of a small SUV ....

Is it also meant to have LED brake lights?

The MY11 DSG model I saw didn't look like it had LED's. Would be nice though.

I haven't seen anything (other than speculation !!) suggesting that the Tig is getting LEDs, rear OR front !!

Can anyone actually post pics inside from the passenger seat?

As usual, I have to give myself the "happy ending".

In this case, with the help of YouTube:

Anyhow confirmation of these definitely does it for me and justifies my wait:
- 4motion badge at rear
- chrome trim around buttons
- new air con dials
- new steering wheel
- new shifter knob with 7 speed DSG

The new steering wheel is much better than the old one. I'm disappointed that it didnt have a new grill.

I am the opposite, i actually dislike the new steering wheel, it looks too cluttered and the 4-way direction pad just seems clunky.
At least with the older 4 button controls you knew what button you were pressing.


The new grill will probably come with a 2012 facelift and it likely to mirror the Toureg grill imho.

I guess they will leave that for any facelift...

Just so you know, I have a MY10 Tig and I am pretty sure it has the new climate control. It still has the old steering wheel though.

AFAIK, the lower models in the US don't get the full blown version of this new steering wheel. Only on the 147TSI.
Otherwise, yours is just one of those first batch MY11 147TSI, but unfortunately with all the QC guys on RDO during the changeover.


Anyhow, would've also liked both the smart key keyless entry and push-start/stop ignition button on the Tig.
Both featured on this clip of a MY11 Golf GTI:

Having driven Golfs without the steering wheel control, I find the MFD much easier to operate with the pauper-pack alternative - stalk buttons (same as the cruise control but on the RHS stalk). Of course I'd never give up the radio volume control and mute buttons on the steering wheel
