Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) announced that it has ramped up production of the locally-assembled (CKD) Tiguan to meet the demands of Malaysian customers. In conjunction with that, the company also introduced a new exterior body colour for the Tiguan – Crimson Red – which is now available for booking. The second-generation model was launched in April, with two trim levels on offer – Comfortline and Highline.
The new colour joins the existing five colours (Pure White, Deep Black, Atlantic Blue, Tungsten Silver and Indium Grey) that were listed at launch. Additionally, for a limited time only, VPCM is offering the App Connect function as complimentary in the Highline (normal price RM1,099).
Pricing for the Tiguan remains unchanged, with the Comfortline retailing at RM148,990, while the Highline is priced at RM168,990 (on the road without insurance). Each purchase comes inclusive of a five-year factory warranty with five years of free roadside assistance. For detailed specs and figures of the Tiguan, head on over to CarBase.my.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Though I usually bamboo VW, I have to admit one thing, this car is worth its value.
This Tiguan is the poor man’s ticket to owning the Porsche Macan or the Audi Q5. Though the platform is different, lets face facts, this Tiguan is more or less the same car as the Porsche Macan or the Audi Q5.
Instead of spending RM500k on a junk Macan, might as well buy this RM140k Tiguan. Same DNA. Same everything. Even 90% of the parts are the SAME.
I have driven the Macan and the Tiguan. Both cars feel the SAME. Porsche pondan fanboys will get angry with my statement but they are just sore losers spending RM500k on their junk Macan when you can get more of less the same car for RM140k.
Macan de-glorified.
One things for sure, the anaCONda, when you grab it at 130k, later standby to vomit out blood whenever parts changed/repair at authorized service center, where inspected one part defective correlated others part to be defect, can’t believe it just spreading like canser infection, same to service cost from 1k-2k-10k+ … who can know isn’t all parts defective …?
totally agreed. is like cancer, one part leads to another, your vomit blood dealing with them, by the way my Tiguan is in the workshop exactly 2 months, they telling its cost 12k to overhaul the engine which is not related during the first diagnosis.
Din see any on the road yet. Same for Passat. Not many ppl willing to lose 50% in first year.
Meanwhile ur toyota is dying…
Only UMW Toyota at bolehland is dying, then why …? Now SOHAI wake-up already, sohai now know kena CON of price no reduced after EEV incentives tax break… most ridiculous, you can see the Toyota Altis price not reduce but increased …
Really? Look at what ur CEO says paultan.org/2017/05/15/toyota-president-worried-over-falling-profits-report/
This article is about Toyota kah? Stupid basher
Macan and Q5 are actually same segment as Touareg..
Tiguan is same segment as Q3, CRV, CX-5
Macan and Tiguan the same….hahahhahahahahahah…
“I have driven the Macan and the Tiguan. Both cars feel the SAME.”
Smallest engine for Macan available in Malaysia: 2.0, 252PS, 370Nm
Only engine option for Tiguan available in Malaysia: 1.4, 150PS, 250Nm
So 252PS and 370Nm “feel the SAME” for you as 150PS and 250Nm? :D
Why would anyone buy a Japanese junk when you can get a German continental car for the same price?
Malaysians should take advantage of the fact that VW’s name sangat busuk in Malaysia. That is why the Tiguan is reasonably priced.
If VW did not have their busuk name, VW would have priced this at RM250k. Just like how they have priced their Toureg at nearly RM500k.
Even better, as you know, VW is the KING of DEPRECIATION. Wait one year and buy this Tiguan for RM80k. Every used car dealer will be begging you to take it.
Side advert, 2015 VW Beetle rm76K dropped 60%.
Hmm…it’s Tuesday. To pam petrol or not to pam? Choices, choices, choices….
Global crude prices went up but im sure bashers says ini salah Gov, right?
“Even better, as you know, VW is the KING of DEPRECIATION. Wait one year and buy this Tiguan for RM80k.”
Everybody knows that Japs are very slow (110km/h max.), thus they need the double time (in years) to cover the same distance.
Rush to produce to meet sales target = quality suffer
My kids dun give a damn to the big screen in the front nor the VW badge nor the auto air cond, nor the LCD dash meter display. They only want a huge playground when the third row seat being folded down flat.
Sack the designer!
Free moving kids in car during driving is bad news, bro
Are you sure? Bad traffic jam everyday, cannot even reach 50km/h!
U only need a hard fender bender to slam ur kids to the backs of front seats. Why risk children like that?
Jaguh kampung betui
Like those dino aged overpriced toyota
Only national car can jaguh kampung
Emmm how about same engine and gearbox for gens? That’s more jaguh kampung!
Never knew this was selling well
Price & package. Good or not, have to wait 1 or 2 yrs or the n-th service then only know.
App connect complimentary for all highline booking or new booking?
ramped up production…careful this also means worse qc
Bring in the 2 liter!
Wahh where all the vw bash comments went..??
No more allowance to bash VW, all pegi bash P1 instead.
Booked the car when launched in April, dealer said have to wait till Nov. only can get car.
look at the front view….freaking ugly box car
enough of VW. damn expensive repair bills. DAMN!
In Malaysia which car brand don’t offer cut throat price during service? Which car don’t have hidden servicing cost? For conti cars, VW offer the cheapest service. As long as given 5 yrs warranty, don’t think to sell your car in next year and don’t complain to overhaul your engine at service center n suffer taking bus to work. Come on, paying a RM1xxk and you need to take bus? Who willing to do it?
The article only says production ramped up but did not say how many booked or sold. Basher will NOT believe until & unless there are many Tiguan on the road. Can VPCM backup its claim?!
Judging by its look, the Tiguan top spec does look better & value for $$$ than most Japanese/Korean SUV(same segment) especially the front LED lighting that comes with 5-year factory warranty.
Front headlamps are boring, same design as last generation.
*yawn*
VPCM need to launch the 1.8 and 2.0 version here
