Volkswagen Tiguan Model Year (MY12) 2012 Changes

[Nakrob]

Just spotted a heap of new Tiguans in the dock holding yard in Fremantle... Hope there are some 132TSI DSGs in there for you guys.

Are you sure they were new face lift models? Dealer previously told me that end November 2011 was earliest delivery date.

Positive they're facelifted ones... they look like every other current model VW with the horizontal grille lol

The current/old model is on runout with limited stock so they're not gonna be shipping in another load of them.

Wonder if we will get this R Line? Probably not, as VW don't want to offer stuff all options on the updated tig! would be nice though!
I'd buy one, anyone else too?

For what it's worth the facelift model is available from the dealers in NZ NOW.

Anybody know if the new facelift tiguan will come with the keyless start entry system / push button start/stop as an option?

This option should seriously become standard on the 155 or atleast offered as an option, Mitsubibishi and hyundai have got this as standard for crying out loud!

+1 If we dont get the keyless start, we most definately get the R range lol

It's not on the option list.

So? Buy a Mitsubishi or a Hyundai if you really want the feature that much.

Have the tiguan on order mate, thought I'd clarify on the option as I was receiving different info from diff people, Although I was really keen on the option I wont trade a tiguan in for any mitsu or hyundai. My point was the tiguan is a great car an imo a luxury range car so having this as an option should have been incorporated into the options list rather than leaving it out for the aus market. Alot of cars these days have this as an option. That was the point I was trying to make

I agree with what you're saying, if you're going to wait for cars that you've ordered we should get all the options, although some are not practical due to having to be complied and keeping a holding of parts there is no reason why others are not available. But it seems that VW are reducing the number of options available across the board, which would be fine if they kept more stock to lesson the wait time but it seems there are still the same delays and problems with getting a car that suits your requirements either in stock or on the way.
