Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has
introduced a ‘Wild’ styling package for the Tiguan Comfortline. The pack
includes aluminium sports pedals, a chrome trunk garnish, a chrome load lip
protector, chrome exhaust trim, scuff plates with the Tiguan logo, and “VW
Tint” window film. The Wild package retails for RM 5,099.
The Wild package is a local effort to visually boost
the Comfortline, the entry of the two Tiguan trim levels in Malaysia, the other
being the Highline. The CKD locally assembled Tiguan Comfortline is priced at
RM 149,578, or RM 154,677 with the Wild package. The Highline is priced at
RM 169,578, all on-the-road excluding insurance.
Recently, VPCM quietly rolled out an MIB
infotainment system update for the Tiguan Comfortline and Highline. The
Highline now has an eight-inch Discover Media system while the Comfortline gets
a similarly sized Composition Media system. The latter loses out on Discover’s
GPS navigation and a reverse camera.
The second-generation Tiguan, launched here exactly
a year ago, is powered by a 1.4 litre TSI engine with 150 PS and 250 Nm of
torque available from 1,500 to 3,500 rpm. The single turbo engine is mated to a
six-speed DSG wet dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The official claimed fuel
consumption is 6.7 litres per 100 km (14.9 km/l) in the European cycle. 0-100
km/h in done in 8.9 seconds.
