The facelifted Volkswagen Tiguan is set to hit South African showrooms from the beginning of July and we now know how much its costs.
The new Volkswagen Tiguan will be available in four flavours, with the entry-level 1,4 TSI kicking things off at R521 000, and the DSG-equipped 1,4 TSI Life and R-Line models filling out the middle of the range at R587 200 and R644 500 respectively. Topping the line-up is a 2,0 TSI R-Line that retails for R710 000.
There isn’t much of a premium to pay for the facelift, with the base model costing just R5 000 more than the outgoing 1,4 TSI Trendline, while the 2,0 TSI R-Line is actually R1 000 cheaper than before.
For now buyers have just two turbopetrol engine choices in the form of a 1,4-litre unit that produces 110 kW and 250 N.m, and a 2,0-litre motor that’s good for 162 kW and 350 N.m. Interestingly there’s no mention of diesel models in the line-up announced this week, however VWSA did previously indicate that a 2,0 TDI option would form part of the line-up, offering 130 kW and 380 N.m.
In terms of standard features, the base Volkswagen Tiguan comes with an eight-speaker MIB3 touchscreen infotainment system as well as cruise control, a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, LED headlights and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The mid-spec Life spec grade adds automatic climate control to the mix, along with an electric tailgate, front and rear park assist, a cornering function for the headlights and 18-inch alloys.
The R-Line adds to the aforementioned tally with Vienna leather seats, digital instrument cluster, App Connect, ambient lighting (with 30 colour choices) and an R-Line exterior package that includes 19-inch alloys.
All Volkswagen Tiguan models are sold with a five-year or 90 000 km service plan and three-year or 120 000 km warranty.
