I tried two different VW dealers yesterday to see what new Tiguans they had in stock, so that I could take a look and possibly arrange a test drive. Heritage Gloucester said that they have an ICE R-Line in the showroom (unfortunately in red) but no dates on when they will have any others or any demonstrators. Inchcape Cheltenham had no Tiguans in the showroom at all (which seems daft) and only a Life model in their fleet. The sales guy said that it would be unlikely that they would register any more until the plate change in September. It seems as though Volkswagen, or at least the dealers in Gloucestershire, aren’t bothered about selling any new Tiguans any time soon! Apparently, the PHEV versions have only just opened for ordering and he anticipates a 4 month lead time, although those of us who have been subjected to VW lead time issues previously will know that’s probably on the optimistic side!
