Last I checked next year. Of course salesman always talk bullshit so not sure. Last I asked Renault if Megane coming the salesman told me September. Now it seems like it is never coming.

Last mentioned is Q4 but duno will have delay or not. This Tiguan will sell at original price not like the current one so many discount lol

yes. Because it is brand new redesign with a lot of uparaded features. But even it is selling at original price, without discount, the price is still very cheap comparing to other brand.

Quite a good redesign that I can see from the review. Even Taiwan this month has this car launched.

I agree. The model looks a lot nicer than the current one with nicer interior and such. However not sure if the gearbox is ok. The current one is using the 6 speed wet like Gti. Later they cut cost and use 7 speed no one in Malaysia dare to buy

Likely not right because I believe it should be the same as Taiwan one. In fact, Taiwan new Tiguan the price is cheaper than Germany even after conversion.

And it is a 4 wheel drive.

The latest 7 speeder is just fine. I have been using mine for 2 years, absolutely love it.

Added real car photos

Looking forward for it to be launched in bolehland.

anyone is booking one now?

Tempting...

Extremely well price. It's actually cheaper than Europe OTR price. I'm looking for GTE version if they can bring that in here will be a deal for me.

Wonder if they will introduce the R-line 4motion for RM200k

150 horses? Puff ....puff...puff!

Puff?

It's capable to sprint.

That is provided the DSG have no problems.

yeah, i am suprised that the price is lower than the last gen. Thanks to the EEV status and CKD.

I am planning to make a booking.

A good alternative to the CX5, Xtrail and CRV

Hope Volkswagen can price their other models more competitively too for the good of Malaysians

good move by introduce wet clutch

any review?

well priced....but i will hold the booking until launching of crv turbo in bolehland

is that virtual cockpit like audi ?

Yes.

Official century sprint time is 8.9 S for the 1.4 version and with this timing, it's puffing and not sprinting!

very competitive price...

however the after sales service seriously need to improve

Who will be among the brave souls to take the plunge as early birdies?

Me. I waited this csr for very long Liao. The price is very cheap comparing to what I expected.

It is even cheaper price than CR-V after discount now.

Which one are you planning to get.HL or CL?

OK. Would appreciate it if you update and share with us all that you have gone through from test drive to placement of booking , to getting the car delivered, and the whole ownership experience, service experience, etc. Your testament will helped others and we would like you to hold no bars, tell us all the good , the bad and the ugly.

Deal?

HL, i like the extra spec. but i may see the real car first to decide.

ok. once the car is ready for display and test driving. i will be the first to go and experience it and share it.

Keep us posted! Hahah.

I'm also seriously considering this car, will do a test drive to see it's all good.

I've driven the Golf GTI for years and there was absolutely no problems with the car. With the inclusion of the wet clutch for the Tiguan I do not think there would be any problems as well.

The good thing is that they've up the manufacturers warranty to 5 years and also 15,000km or 1 year service is a decent effort by VW.

My only complaint is the service center (Glenmarie) being slow, sometimes long wait just to see the counter. At least it's only once a year!

tiguan this car has received very positive reviews in terms of "value for money", meaning the specs given against its price. such as the comprehensive auto parking features, it it is on other brand, the price will be much higher.

therefore, i have been looking forward to this car for quite some time liao.

CRV Turbo will be boring if mated with CVT, which is already on the new Civic.

2017 Honda CR-V will get 1.6L i-DTEC Turbo diesel engine, nine-speed automatic transmission

OK. Deal. Thread is tagged

#tiguan

I wonder why the camouflage, it's not like we haven't seen the photos already!

Maybe they want to launch with additional surprise

Booking mine today

Nice.

Nice car with abit lower spec . But i think their pricing is good. New launch with rm7k discount .

They try to push out to market before all new CRV and CX-5 arrive . Good move 😀

Somehow I can never make myself like the CRV or CX5

the new tiguan is good. overall very good combination of everything, so it is "value for money".

No bro , eventhough the price is cheaper , but not means this tiguan is lousier . No worry 😎

which spec you book?

Wah so early. Don't want to test drive first?

Booking fee only 500 and its refundable anyway.
When test drive available then test. If dont like just get refund

My wife is interested too but my eye is on the Passat 1.8CL.
Anyway we will wait until the all new CR-V or it could be earlier if VW can give "Durian Runtuh" price. lol

For anybody had seen it in person,is it really bigger than crv/x trail?

I see. Think I will book one white color one.

Always be the guinea pig for others

It's a good deed that is always well rewarded

haha checked it out today. decided to hold out till test drive available early-march before even thinking about it.

as with all vw, 7k discount likely can happen again soon. now is till tmr only, must place booking fee.

my question is how has the MK7 golf 1.4 TSI been on reliability given it is not twin charge? also it looks like it will be really underpowered given the 1.5+ton weight?

Paid booking fee but preferring the Passat 2.0

Rm7k discount is until tmr only meh?

I think rm7k rebate is till 30th April.

Passat 2.0?

Ic. Thanks.

May I know where to see this r 7k discount. Cannot see at their website.

The Tiguan felt cramped and the Indium Grey color is pathetic

Learn from AMD ryzen , hype train derailed

Pre orders disappointed with claimed performance

And you are referring to which model?

All brand new models boasting new engines , new gearboxes , a lot of new new new

Then Shit part comes when too much problems revise more generous warranties but not retrospective to earlier units

This post has been edited by rcracer: Mar 4 2017, 09:27 PM

My Mk7 1.4 TSI with ACT just reached 76000 km, had the 3rd oil change last week. No issues so far (can't speak for the gearbox as mine is manual).

Hey you running the car in Malaysia? That's good to hear.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Guess the guy lied to me then.

Nope. Running it in Germany. Still, the engine is holding up well despite the harsh weather conditions (we hit -20 this year...) and the super long servicing intervals (twice as long as the already long interval in Malaysia).

What I find interesting is that VW went with some old hardware for the new Tiguan. The 1.4 TSI with 150 hp was replaced by a new 1.5 TSI with 150 hp, first seen in the new Golf Mk 7.5. The HUs are also the old ones found in the Golf Mk 7, the 7.5 gets new ones. (Though to be honest I very much prefer the old ones over the new ones).

Interestingly the 2.0 with 180 hp and AWD has a 7 speed DSG... sounds like a dry clutch? Or do they have 7 speed wet clutch gearboxes?

I tried to spec a Tiguan as to Highline Malaysia specs (from what I can tell...), and got to 43135 Euro (RM 204106), with the leather seats being the most expensive option (2590 Euro). However there are a few confusing things. The steering wheel shown by PT clearly has markings that indicate cruise control with mode selection, but on the photo in the configurator the mode selection button just says ok or something like that. The only way I know to get that button is by ordering the driver assistance package (1490 Euro, and IMHO absolutely worth it, much more important than that silly leather), but there is no mention of any feature included in that package (blind spot monitoring, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assistant (no need to use the pedals or steering wheel in traffic jams), heads up display, cornering lights with always on high beam that blocks the light only where other cars is, so you can enjoy high beam without blinding anyone). Also, the camera on the windscreen is missing... the Malaysian Highline clearly only has the cheap mirror assembly.

There are also other goodies like birds eye view camera missing (400 Euro). Really I'd much rather get the car without leather, but with birds eye view camera and driver assistance package. Especially in Malaysia, considering the hot weather and all those traffic jams.

Nice comparison.
BTW do you know where to get upgrades/parts like the Active Info Display and the 8inch Display?
Toying with the idea of getting the Passat 1.8CL and fitting those in later

There are specialist shops in Germany selling kits to upgrade your VW with original parts. I believe there are such shops in the UK as well. No idea if the features you'd like to have are possible, or if they are, it is possible that many things need to be replaced. The bigger GPS unit should be easiest to replace, however there might be some coding work to be done, and some of those may only be done by VW workshops that have the right computer access. You're probably best of in the VW club section here, and in international (UK centric probably) VW forums. They should be able to tell you more. Just keep in mind it's not neccessarily trivial, and it sure as hell isn't going to be cheap (on my Golf that 8" GPS unit was a RM 12k option from factory).

IIRC the active info display is a 2500 option...

Kufatec.de is one of those shops...

was at 1u yesterday. plenty of interest for this car. definitely a step up from CRV

Err , it's boring for me when my 1st sight view it at 1U .

I not sure hows the aerodynamic driving experience of it , but it really bored inside out .

Found this video on youtube . Have a look . New tiguan vs old crv and current rav4 in UK.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jzORrmt4ogI

Looks tempting. Interior dimensions are bigger than crv.. Pity no authorise dealer in kelantan.

Waiting for your review.

how is the new Tiguan vs new CX-5?

without having sat in either, pictures wise, CX5 interior is hands down winner , no contest

if you take the diesel, Tiguan will suffer to keep up

Just now went outing to ipoh town... suddenly saw 3 new tiguan carried plat no. VW XXXX. Wondering where did they goes?? And how come they managed to get VW plat no on new tiguan which is not officially launch yet.

should be dealer's display/test drive car.

is it open for test drive yet?

The SA are having training sessions starting today.
So expect sometime next week for test drive i think

I test-drove the new Tiguan Comfortline at VW Ipoh. Highline was also on display. There was a preview+testdrive event there.
didn't testdrive but have seen the new CX-5 Skyactiv-D XD L-package inside-out in Japan at Mazda showroom just a couple of weeks ago.
Personally I drive a 2012 Jetta.
The new Tiguan drives and feels like a more affordable Q3 1.4 TFSI. Engine response and gear change is similar and smooth, also similar to the A3 1.4 TFSI, and I assume the Golf Mk7 and Jetta facelift. The Q3's interior is dated to me, so the Tiguan is a more modern interior. Tyre noise is abit on the high side, but overall comfort is normal VW conti-feel, and that's on the 17" Falken Ziex 914 Eco Run tyres. The highline's 18" Hankook S1 evo2's tyres should be noisier.
with the 7k discount, it's about 142k for the Comfortline and 162k for the Highline.
Personally, I think the pricing is on the high side, and you would be buying this for the TSI/DSG drivetrain and conti feeling above anything else.
Design wise it's more mature, but doesn't tickle my fancy. The highline's leather quality is quite nice though.

Having testdrove the current-gen CX-5 diesel, I would take the more-frugal Skyactiv-D + 6-speed AT over the Tiguan anytime. I believe 2016 stocks can be had for under 150k. For the new 2017 CX-5, the exterior and interior design and ergonomics are better, and feels more premium than the Tiguan. Due to the design of the CX-5 rear seats, the Tiguan is more comfy if there are 3 rear passengers though, and leg room is slightly better. I prefer the CX-5 soft retractable tonneau cover over the hard parcel shelf cover of the Tiguan. Tiguan's headunit and sound quality should be nicer than the non-Bose CX-5 though.

personally I'm in the market for a SUV for the wife. She definitely is waiting for the CX-5 to arrive in KL, and Tiguan is not on her list. Also waiting to see what the Malaysian CR-V will be like...interesting times ahead. It's a buyer's market in this economic climate.

Thanks for sharing.. Interesting times ahead indeed. Hopefully the CX-5 & CR-V will be competitively priced lower and released with full active safety suites. CKD build quality at least matching Japanese standards..

Bro do u want to wait for 2017 CX-5 should look better than 2016 ..good thing about Tiguan Highline is auto parking 3.0

The current CX-5 diesel has blind spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking. Not exactly the full suite of i-activsense as compared to a fully-loaded Mazda 3 or 6, but I would prefer the AEB over parking assist on a VW as the Tiguan is quite maneuvarable and visibility is good. Rear camera is only available on the Highline though, so Comfortline Tiguans would need to go to external VW specialist accessory shops to have it added, whereas CX-5s have rear camera as standard. Edited my post above to reflect that the more premium interior and exterior design was referring to the 2017 CX-5, not the current 2012-2016 one. IMHO, from my short showroom experience with the 2017 CX-5 fixes nearly all the things I don't like about the 2012-2016 CX-5, hence why I am holding off on buying the 2016 clearance stocks. Just waiting for the MY launch to know the price and lineup. From a "driving feel" perspective, I have a feeling that the new CX-5 will not beat the Tiguan in terms of perceived "solidness", as the Tiguan felt really good in that sense from my testdrive.

True about the auto-parking.. However it's not high on my list. Waiting for the 2017 CX-5. IMO, looks and should drive better than the outgoing model...GVC, better NVH, etc... Though for those who prefer the outgoing model, better to hold out till the new one comes in, potentially more discounts..

We are in very similar boats... It's almost uncanny..

CX5 rear seat not as spacious as tiguan..in tiguan u can seat like a boss

This post has been edited by leftist: Mar 29 2017, 09:01 AM

Correct, as the Tiguan's rear seats can slide fore-and-aft with trays on the rear of the front seats for your makan or devices.
however, I don't need to sit like a boss in the rear, just drive like one in the front, and that's where the 2017 CX-5 is really great.

DSF has a good article that sums up the features of the Tiguan (mostly highline) in a very good list form without fluff
www.dsf.my/2017/03/the-vw-tiguan-in-malaysia-everything-you-need-to-know/

I had an incident where I wasn't paying attention and hit someone at very slow speeds. Something which AEB would have prevented, especially after I experienced AEB at the Ioniq launch event, I'm sold.

price is cheap for tiguan current gen, as last time high spec is rm169k, while last gen, high spec is rm200k. now with discount, even cheaper, rm162k.

This is what's making it a prospective buy on my list.. But when I think of VW's track record in Malaysia...

Hmmm.. Very true.. Sure one has to pay full attention while behind the wheel at all times, It's nice to know that in such infrequent circumstances, the CX-5 will react proactively.

Globally they are in deep trouble , their scandal just widened with the so-called internal investigator of newly elected CEO being exposed that he was one of the very few who was involved in the implementation of defeat device for diesel cars

Eventually with so much turmoil it will boil over

this car has good reviews worldwide, so in terms of reliability, i think it should be quite safe that most should not need to visit the service center very often.

the spec is impressive given its price.

The Skyactiv diesel has so much torque, over 400nm if I'm not wrong. The power band is wider than other turbo diesel too, almost 1000rpm more. The max torque on other diesel engines just bleeps for a while then you have to change gear already, the Skyactiv engine can hold it much longer. I don't think the 1.4tsi on the Tiguan can match it.

The twin turbo is key

two-stage turbo on the skyactiv-d isn't a twin turbo.

Hyundai is also bringing in the 1.6 turbo-petrol with DCT, and later the CRDI. buyers gonna be spoiled for choice in this segment.

Meh, semantics, there are times when both turbos are boosting

Yeah.. Changing the average consumer's perception of a brand is very difficult. Personally, haven't used a VW machine before and so forced to decide based on "I heard/read".. So far, even on their official Malaysian FB page... Lots of posts complaining about very poor after sales service. Folks' vehicles held for weeks and with no replacement vehicle. That must be hard on households with only one vehicle and poor public transportation areas.

As for it boiling over... Well, it's entirely up to the global and local VW management.. It can be done.. Just time.

Giving it a couple months to see how...

Mind to share what is the best deal beside 7K rebate? E.g Additional gift? voucher or even better additional % rebate?
