Australian pricing has been released for the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan which will launch locally in September.

LOCAL PRICING FOR the new Volkswagen Tiguan has been announced with the Australian launch set for September. Although the new Tiguan moves from the compact SUV segment into the small SUV segment, Volkswagen claims it’ll actually be cheaper to buy “than the comparable entry level model of the first-generation Tiguan, which launched in 2008”.

“The all-new Tiguan range begins with the tech-laden 110TSI Trendline manual variant at $31,990; $2,000 more affordable than the comparable first generation entry model at the time of its launch,” Volkswagen said in a statement.

The extensive new engine range consists of three TSI petrol engines: a 110kW, a 132kW and a range-topping 162kW, and two TDI diesel engines: a 110kW, and a 140kW engine. These engines (with the exception of the 110kW TSI) combine with the latest generation 4MOTION all-wheel drive system.

Tiguan Trendline (110TSI manual and DSG) from $31,990+ORC. 110TSI manual and DSG transmission-equipped Tiguans offer Front Assist with City Emergency Brake, Lane Assist, 17-inch alloy wheels, Park Assist, RVC, low tyre pressure indicator, LED tail lights, an eight-inch Composition Media infotainment system with App-Connect USB interface, automatic headlights and rain-sensing windscreen wipers, cruise control and a leather multi-function steering wheel.

Tiguan Comfortline (110TSI DSG, 110TDI DSG and 132TSI DSG) from $36,990+ORC. The Comfortline offers driving profile selection with 4MOTION Active Control, 3-zone climate control air conditioning, satellite navigation, colour multi-function display, folding table on front seat backrests, front fog lights, carpet floor mats, extended roof storage console, luggage floor net, chrome roof rails, chrome window surrounds and painted bumper inserts and a storage drawer under the front seats.

Tiguan Highline (140TDI DSG and 162TSI DSG) from RRP $48,490+ORC. Highline gets LED headlights with dynamic cornering lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, Keyless Access, electronically-operated tailgate with Easy Open and Close, an 8-inch Discover Pro satellite navigation system, Vienna leather-appointed upholstery, heated comfort sport front seats, an electronically-adjustable driver’s seat, interior ambient lighting and LED reading lights, power folding door mirrors, steering wheel-mounted gearshift paddles, dark tinted rear side and rear windows, premium LED tail lights and a chrome strip in the front lower air intake.
