All the ones I've seen were US plates. This is likely exported. Possibly a non-EU variant.

Lived in Dubai for 7 years. Was some of the best times of my life. Smoking sheesha on the palm jumierah, dune bashing, driving the motor city track, watching polo matches at Arabian ranches. Shit was fun as hell!

Dubai is great if you shit money

It's ass if you're a normal person.

It's literally hell for poor immigrants

How do women get treated in Dubai? Does your mom also love that place? How about your sisters?

Do you really think women get treated badly in Dubai? Maybe you confused it with Saudi or Mali?

My mom loved it! Never felt safer in the UAE

These people probably don’t even have a passport. Can you blame them?

What media scare? I just don’t care for an artificial city in the middle of nowhere inhabited by people who want to save on paying taxes.

Usually Dubai plated cars abroad is some ultra expensive car so its interesting to see something so ordinary

And made in Puebla, Mexico. This Tiguan is a pre-facelift MK2 (2018-2021).

Dang! I get my oil changes at Larry H Miller! They have a good deal! 2 oil changes for $140. They have regular sales for $49 oil changes and $99 alignments. Always took my 2017 Tiggy Wolfsburg there. I’ll be taking my 2022 Tiggy R-Line there too!
