The VW Tiguan in Malaysia: Everything You Need to Know

The new Tiguan is about to be launched in Malaysia in just a short time. A recent press preview indicated that it would have an extremely attractive starting price (around the RM149K-169K), be built in Malaysia, and come in 2 variants.

Without a doubt, this looks to be another handsome and extremely well-packaged option from the German automaker.

We drove it to Ipoh today to see just what it had to offer. Here are some of the highlights that were immediately apparent.
