Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has
announced a few updates for its Tiguan model. Beginning March 2019, all Tiguan
models sold will be fitted with the new 2019 Active Info Display (AID) and
revised LED tail lights.
The AID is a high-resolution display which
incorporates two- and three-dimensional graphics for navigation and various
in-car functions. There’s now a three-view customisable screen with over 30
combinations options, and the dials can also be customised to show a multitude
of data. A full 3D view of the map for GPS navigation can also be selected.
Outside, the tail lights are full LED, complete with
new graphics that apparently enhance visibility in less-than-ideal driving
conditions. No other changes have been mentioned, and that includes the price.
The Tiguan Highline’s price of RM 165,990 remains unchanged, as is the Tiguan
JOIN‘s RM 175,990 price.
To recap, the Tiguan is powered by a 1.4 litre TSI
four-cylinder engine that makes 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque. It’s married to a
six-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission that routes power to the front wheels.
The 0-100 km/h sprint is done in 8.9 seconds. Each purchase of the Tiguan comes
with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, as well as three-years free
maintenance and five-years roadside assistance
