2017 Volkswagen Tiguan pricing and specifications
The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan will hit Australian showrooms in September priced from $31,990 plus on-road costs. The new point of entry is $3000 higher than the outgoing car's RRP, though the new-generation version is significantly larger and better-equipped.
Kicking off the new Volkswagen Tiguan range is the Trendline 110TSI with a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 110kW/250Nm, matched to six-speed manual or six-speed DSG transmissions, with a front-wheel drive layout.
The Trendline’s $31,990 entry price (or $34,490 with the DSG automatic) puts the Volkswagen above the Mazda CX-5 Maxx Sport, which is the second-from-base variant in the CX-5 line-up. It's also $2000 more than the $29,990 starting price announced for the all-new Renault Koleos last week.
Next in the chain is the mid-range Tiguan Comfortline priced from $36,990, available in 110TSI guise, as well as with larger 2.0-litre 132TSI petrol (132kW/320Nm) or 110TDI 2.0-litre diesel (110kW/340Nm) engines. All have 4Motion all-wheel drive and a DSG.
The pricing — $36,990 for the 110TSI, $41,490 for the 132TSI and $42,990 for the 110TDI — puts the Tiguan Comfortline in between the CX-5 Maxx Sport and GT variants.
Topping the range is the Tiguan Highline DSG 4Motion, with 162kW/350Nm 2.0-litre petrol (shared with the Golf GTI) or 140kW/400Nm diesel engine options. This version will kick off at $48,490, which puts it around the ballpark with the flagship CX-5 Akera variant.
The new-generation Tiguan is bigger between the wheels and much more spacious than before, with its 615L/1655L boot taking it from the bottom of the class to the upper echelon. It’s also billed as more premium and dynamic than before.
The MKII Tiguan will also offer “the most comprehensive package of standard safety technologies in the segment”. All models get low-speed autonomous brakes, lane assist, fatigue detection, an active bonnet, multi-collision braking, parking assist and a rear-view camera.
Volkswagen Australia has billed the new Tiguan as “one of its most significant launches in recent memory”, which should surprise nobody considering the market for this type of car is up 19 per cent in 2016, making it the second-biggest individual vehicle segment.
The new Volkswagen Tiguan launches on September 19, and we'll naturally bring you our first Australian review then. Read our overseas review in the meantime.
