2017 VW Tiguan (2nd Generation)

As much as I dislike VW, that sounds pretty reasonable. At the end of 2019 when I started looking for my current car I test drove a 1.4t at Haval in Malmesbury. The car as a 2014 but with close to 150,000km on the clock - they told me they had just done the clutch which would otherwise cost whomever was buying it about R20k.

That's just how things are with manuals that sit in traffic.

I don't know about that, my wife's up is currently at 140k + km's sitting in really crap traffic daily without issues, even my old passat got traded in at 164k km with no clutch issues, and the dsg was known to have issues. This car must have had some serious abuse. Unless the kilometers is very high, they don't mention that.

If by serious abuse you refer to riding the clutch, then yes, I see people doing that quiet a lot these days.

Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace 2022 UK review

Should I buy one?

While the regular five-seat Tiguan does offer one, there’s no plug-in hybrid powertrain on offer in the seven-seat Tiguan Allspace for those seeking to make an efficiency saving; but if you're looking for versatile, real-world fuel-efficient, reasonably priced family transport, you could do a great deal worse than to stick with this entry-level diesel version of the car.

It’s smart, simple, solid, functional, straightforward and easy to use: VW doing what it has always done well, in other words.

Local Specification for Volkswagen Golf R and Tiguan R Announced

South Africans have been very patient with Volkswagen South Africa as we are still waiting for the highly-anticipated new Golf 8 R and the first ever Tiguan R.

You will not have to wait too much longer as VWSA has now revealed that the SUV will launch in October this year while the hot hatch Golf R will only see a local launch in 2023.

Since the Golf R’s launch in South Africa in 2007, the powerful hatch has sold close to 6 000 units. The new Volkswagen Golf R reigns supreme as the model range’s most powerful hatch to date. More powerful, more dynamic, more efficient, more closely integrated, more digital; these are the characteristics of the new Golf R, the dynamic flagship of the eighth Golf generation.

 
Golf R will touch down in South Africa in early October

Along with Volkswagen’s venerable Golf R hot hatch, the larger Tiguan R that shares a similar platform will also be welcomed to Mzanzi in little more than two months’ time.

Volkswagen South Africa confirmed that the anticipated fifth generation Golf R, using the eighth generation of the Golf platform, will land in South Africa by early October along with the Tiguan R. Both models make use of similar tech and powertrains.

Same tech and powertrain just with a little bit less power than other markets

The EA888 2,0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder motor will find use in both models, although South African specifications will differ slightly from the rest of the international market. Steffen Knapp, Brand Director Volkswagen South Africa, cited poorer quality fuels as the 20 N.m detune from the models sold overseas.

Nonetheless, the all-wheel drive and highly acclaimed hot-hatch from Wolfsburg will put out 235 kW and 400 N.m which help propel it to a 250 km/h top speed. Its larger sibling includes the same top speed and performance although it will only sprint to 100 km/h in 5,1 seconds as opposed to 4,8 seconds.

 
VW Tiguan R for SA (2022) Specs & Pricing

Volkswagen is preparing to launch its most potent Tiguan to date on local soil. The VW Tiguan R is coming…

The VW Tiguan is one of the most popular family SUVs on sale in South Africa and the local range will soon be bolstered with the arrival of the potent Tiguan R.

Volkswagen has confirmed that the Tiguan R will be available in local showrooms as of October 2022.

How much will the VW Tiguan R cost in South Africa?

Volkswagen South Africa will confirm exact pricing closer to launch in October 2022.

Current pricing for the Tiguan starts at R558 900 for the 110 kW Tiguan 1.4TSI and goes up to R761 300 for the 162 kW Tiguan 2.0TSI 4Motion R-Line, before options.

You can therefore expect the Tiguan R to be priced north of R800k before you start ticking off options.

 
2024 Volkswagen Tiguan gains friendlier face in design refresh

Prototype of the new SUV is spied testing with a completely new front end featuring sharper headlights

The Volkswagen Tiguan will receive a significant style overhaul next year, bringing the popular SUV in line with the design language of the smaller Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Polo.

Expected to launch in 2024, a prototype of the new Tiguan showed a completely new front end with sharper headlights, a much larger front grille and a redesigned front splitter.

Indicators have also been added to the Tiguan’s wing mirrors, while the SUV retains its distinctive three-spoke chrome detailing at the nose.

The rear end, meanwhile, largely resembles the existing Tiguan, save for bulkier bodywork.

The prototype was largely camouflaged with a black, line-obscuring livery, but it’s clear to see the new Tiguan will feature a wheelbase larger than the current car but still smaller than the seven-seater Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.

A visible exhaust muffler and rear quad exhaust decoys show that the Tiguan will retain internal-combustion power for this generation, before its inevitable switch to an electric powertrain.
