Of course I was hoping that the 8" SatNav system will be available but you can't even get that in a Golf R at present, even though you can option it in a $25k Skoda Octavia. Sigh...
    Yes likewise I'm looking at changing in the not too distant future and don't see the current Tig as a real option. Fundamentally it's the same car.

    I'd only consider MQB platform so I've been searching around for any news/spy shots to see when it may be released.

    There's not really anything that ticks the boxes for me at the moment. Has to be AWD, nice interior and decent performance. Plus under $50k!!!

    The Tiguan facelift was released in February 2011, over 3 years ago - so the hope is there for something in the next 6 months...

    Sketches and some info is dribbling out on the new Passat which should be shown in some way soon too - but I guess that is even longer on sale than the Tiguan (initially shown March 2005, face lifted September 2009). I just can't see a face lifted Tiguan - it will be new when it does come out IMHO. Unless VW is mad of course !

    I think it depends on how long they want to keep this model going. If it's another couple of years then they may want a face-lift just so there's some differences from an exterior point of view. If the new model is around the corner they'll probably just do enough to keep the sales going until the new model arrives.

    I guess we'll have to wait for Aug/Sept to see what MY15 has to offer.

    This one looks interesting - it's the Skoda SUV due for release in 2016 based on the MQB platform.

    I spoke to the same dealer today who is saying that the next model will be mid. next year & on the MQB platform. He didn't inspire any confidence in me with some of the answers he was giving me, so I wouldn't take that info as gospel.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    Well, seems that it won't be a facelift and should indeed be MQB...

    VW could triple current SUV lineup, key CUV may be delayed - Autoblog

    Some more photos of the next gen Tig - these ones from autobild.de... perhaps closer to it

    Seeing how the other models design / curves / shapes look like, ie Passat, i think the all new Tiguan photos look realistically possible.

    Well there's run-out deals going on for MY14 Tiguan and they're clearing out stock for the new MY15 Tigs. Unfortunately there's no major changes in terms of platform/shape (this would be a very well-kept secret if there was).

    I noticed an interesting vehicle listed on the RVCS register though......





    Now this would be interesting a 130TDI R-line

    Fingers crossed they bring it in.

    Unfortunately that is a Diesel,one already offering in UK etc but not enough power And I bet if it reached here pricing will be starting with high 40K or low 50k In that case AUDI Q3 is a more sensible choice.
