Thanks I have secured one from Poland.

Waiting on my new Tiguan to be released which will be around the end of October.

End of October, really?? I thought this was expected in Europe, however here I have heard realistically December / January until delivery

Saw a red one just drive past my house yesterday!

Don't know how he scored that!

Definitely apart from the tail light and the front grille, everything looked exactly the same.

End of November if you have one on order now (you may also get a DSG). Apparently the official launch is towards the end of November this year, after which time you can order but not a DSG until mid next year.

We've got caught out as the 132TSI DSG we ordered a few months ago we can get before end of November doesn't have any of the extras we wanted. If we want those we need to get a "Pacific" model in April next year (automatic gearbox) or wait until June next year (DSG).

Here is the information I have

The first cars are in the country already although some are yet to clear customs

First cars are on a "fair share" mix determined by VWA. Your dealer has limited or no influence on this and this will be the case until April/May next year. The dealers now know what they are getting and you can call around to see if one is coming in that meets your criteria as there are a mixture of models, colours and options so pick what you want and hit the phones.

Model mix is about 10% 118 TSI m about 6% 103TDI m and about 20% TDI DSG. 7% are 132 m and 44% 132 auto (not sure how many DSG) and 13% are 155 DSG.

If you want Bi-xenon and the LED DRLs you will have to wait until much later as none are in first delivery. If you want the other options, Leather, sunroof, park assist, sat nav you should be able to find one to suit if you do the work

I have been quoted as early as mid October and as late as end November for delivery

It is clear that VWA are withholding further information while the runout of existing stock is on.

This information comes from a number of different discussions with a number of dealers and VWA

Hope it is useful

Why so arrogant VW? Having options that i cant get anyway till next year and not having the options at all that are available overseas for the Tiguan? Should have allowed people to at least pay down a deposit and order the new model a few months ago so the first shipment could have had cars people wanted!
Same with the Touareg when released, no info till very last minute!
Do VW think the are Apple or something and have the Market to themselves?

You should ask your dealer to see if they can do a stock swap to try and get closer to your wants or shop around yourself and if you find one get your deposit back and arrange it yourself. I think they took your order knowing they would have no say in what they get and no way of placing an order until much later so you have a strong case to get your deposit back if they won't try and help you.

I would take one now and try to get as much as what you want as possible. With worldwide demand and delays you could otherwise be waiting even longer than you are bring quoted for an order.
