New Dubber
Hi everyone!
First offical post, so here goes. Went in to the local VW dealership to have a look at the new 7.5 Golf GTIs, and whilst I was there I got introduced to this MY18 model Tiguan.
Interestingly it was badged Adventure, it had LED headlights (not the dynamic ones on Highline), and had the offroad styling body kit (check the side sills). Also had ergo comfort seats, and while it had the DA pack - couldn't have a go in it to see if it had TJA or Emergency Assist. Can confirm the gloss trims though on the fog lights and so on.
Dealer guy didn't know of any of the updates mentioned, or if he did he wasn't telling me. He just said that the changes he knew of were the different infotainment, wheels, and gloss bits.

Hi there got this txt from my mate who works for Vw dealership today.
All MY18 models have all of the new assistant systems. Confirmed with Volkswagen Australia. Models that are part 17/18 may not have these features available even if they have a button to select for adaptive lane guidance. It needs to have all the new features for traffic jam to work.
I know some of the last My17 of production had Active Lane guidance on them ,but no TJA option.

What does part 17/18 mean? I thought they would be one or the other?

This is really interesting. Does that mean there's a new "Adventure" package? Adds roof racks, DAP, etc.
Also the front lights - they're different to the old crappy lights on the non-highline MY17 models, and look way better.
Wonder if the new lights are for the "Adventure" badge only or also for the Comfortline MY18 model.

He told me yours did. Does your ping pong from one side to the other?
Or stays in the middle?
