New Elegance and R Line now on the configurator. All DSG for now and R line with updated 200ps diesel. Some new colours and different wheels. Elegance largely follows SEL plus rear view camera, KESSY and multi colour interior lighting as well as the IQ Leds. R Line loses the pan roof (though it's a cheaper option tha it uised to be)
Not impressed with the configurator myself, I think anyone wanting a new Tiguan should be rushing out to buy the old model
Theirs lots I don't understand one is why does the Elegance a sunroof but not a Rline?
Another is the space saver is an option now while the spacesaver is the same price as a full size wheel.
Then why have they dropped Tungsten silver.
Strangely, Elegance doesn't seem to have an option of leather seats whereas the RLine and Life do, albeit only if further extras are selected which bumps the cost up to £2k+ on the Life model.
Also, fog lights don't seem to be standard or an option on any of the models. Maybe with the IQ.LIGHTS they are felt not to be necessary.
I'm pretty sure we'll see some changes to the options going forward, but from what I've seen I'm in no hurry to 'upgrade' to the facelift model, all the time I feel it would be a downgrade from what I have at the moment.
Are you sure? Even selecting black it seems to be saying 'Seat trim covers in ArtVelours', plus it doesn't pop up an 'add to the cost' box like it does with the R-Line.
Some strange changes to what's standard and what's optional... as noted, the loss of the sunroof on the R-Line is odd when it's still standard on the Elegance and I can't quite tell whether the R-Line still has Area View as standard- it seems to appear in the options list but without a price???
Lack of a spare wheel is a particularly mean cost saving measure too.
I wouldn't be in any rush to switch, but I will be keeping an eye out for the eHybrid model when that launches over here in the UK. I wonder how the pricing will work out compared to the id4...

Only petrol I see is the 1.5?
4Motion was never offered on that lump. probably due to emissions and WLTP economy
my 1,4 4Motion was pretty poor on economy unless on a long run.
Underwhelmed I'm afraid, all DSG and dull colours. I thought this might be the case having looked at the configurator on the German site. Decided to swap my current machine for an Audi Q3 S-lne 1.5 manual which is now on order for March when my current PCH ends.
Whenever a new model comes out they initially produce only the most popular versions, with engines and models added as production builds up. Give it a few months and a lot more variations will be available.
Elegance does look to be favourite and Oh I like the way "Elimination of nameplate for engine designation on luggage compartment lid" is shown as Standard Equipment! :lol:
THat dolphin gray must be the worst color on a car ever. Lots of people gonna choose it cause of the "in" factor and in a couple of years they will look at their car and realise how badly it aged.

the new climate controls are awful. trying to change those on the move is going to be dangerous, as far as I am concerned.
if the 2022 Tiguan is like that I will be off to BMW x3.
