Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has announced a few updates for its Tiguan model. Beginning March 2019, all Tiguan models sold will be fitted with the new 2019 Active Info Display (AID) and revised LED tail lights.
The AID is a high-resolution display which incorporates two- and three-dimensional graphics for navigation and various in-car functions. There’s now a three-view customisable screen with over 30 combinations options, and the dials can also be customised to show a multitude of data. A full 3D view of the map for GPS navigation can also be selected.
Outside, the tail lights are full LED, complete with new graphics that apparently enhance visibility in less-than-ideal driving conditions. No other changes have been mentioned, and that includes the price. The Tiguan Highline’s price of RM165,990 remains unchanged, as is the Tiguan JOIN‘s RM175,990 price.
To recap, the Tiguan is powered by a 1.4 litre TSI four-cylinder engine that makes 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque. It’s married to a six-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission that routes power to the front wheels. The 0-100 km/h sprint is done in 8.9 seconds. Each purchase of the Tiguan comes with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, as well as three-years free maintenance and five-years roadside assistance.

Where is Golf version?
Golf are more expensive than Tiguan!
What they doing man?
It’s ok. This game changing update with full LED tail light will bury the X70 for sure. Habisla X70!
You are right. Most of the time, VW does firesales. The Tiguan last year went down to RM125k even for a brand new unit.
So for RM125k, getting a Tiguan is really good value!
Volkswagen whole of last year sales only did 7,000. Proton X70 bookings up to date already reached 20,000. Habislah X70? That’s some strong weed you’re smoking.
The handsome car is more handsome now
Buy now, cry later, especially when you still have a balance of five years HP installments. LOL.
Be patient Ray! Golf will be fitted with ACtive Information Display “ACID” soon.
After 2 years, still waiting for VW Malaysia to bring in the 2.0 turbo awd wet clutch tiguan.
Be great, if it comes with adaptive cruise control as well.
How many u want to buy??? mother
Ohsum Tiguan got better spec than the Audi A2.
Audi A2? Wat a joke
How Long will it last? LCD display panel and plastic LED lights can withstand the intense heat under the sun 365 days?
Is this AID better or the previous version? I can see the screen size is smaller now.
Hmm very tempting between crv. Of course internal build qty will b better than crv. Cc wise almost negligible 1.5 & 1.4. Space goes to crv.. So only left with safety element to decide.. I guess.. Any comments folks…
Get Proton X70. It’s that simple.
What if he doesn’t want a China made car?
Try test drive and get the feel of the handling, then u will decide.
Get Camry better
Test drive both then decide ….but u might end up wt the veedub once u drove both the crv & tiguan back to back…strength of all conti, the way it drive/handling.
Refer from the SG car price… Tiguan(Comf) $142,900 Tiguan (High) 153,990 CRV (H) 132,999.00 The answer is obvious right?
Hey folks,
I went for a test drive and man ‘o man.. this is a smooth drive i’ve ever been on.
I did test drive X70 too, but it’s too short to do any comparison. I’m planning to book 1 this month, any issues that i should be worry about or should i give X70 a try?
I currently drive Preve and CRV i’m not too keen, frankly speaking it’s overrated in my opinion.
Yeap, if you test drive any vw you’ll be hooked, thats why the salesman’s strategy is to get u to test drive their cars….dont test drive if u dont want to end up with one.
With nice handling, thats a car who wish to have
x70 so much better than this
Just realised a tiguan in the uk costs rm150k. A250 is 5k more expensive but here it’s 100k more
Good car if it comes with yearly coupon for free tow car service.
Year 1 = 5 coupons
Year 2 = 6 coupons
etc
has to be incremental increase
Have u own a VW? Or just listen some talks and spread it without verify?
Was keen to know more about the updates until I was completely distracted by the tight fitting polo shirt wrapped in bow tie (???), shorts and red shoes (???).
Was in VW showroom yesterday, trying to check out the so call ‘full LED tail light’, is it really a LED? Or just still the normal bulb ?
Btw, the SA told there might be two version of Tiguan coming this year, the Tiguan R & Tiguan L 7 seaters, hopefully fitted 2.0 4WD and with the right pricing.
