Volkswagen introduces the Tiguan Allspace
The new Allspace closes the gap between the compact Tiguan and the premium class Touareg.
MOTORPRESS
Volkswagen is expanding the model range of the best-selling Tiguan SUV to include a newly designed seven-seater model – the even bigger, particularly elegant and versatile Tiguan Allspace.
The new SUV's longer wheelbase makes it a true space giant. The Tiguan Allspace also marks the continuation of a Volkswagen SUV offensive.
Digitised, automated, perfected - the new Tiguan Allspace and its shorter sister model perfectly reflect the new Volkswagen brand strategy: “We make the future real.”
EXTERIOR DESIGN
The Tiguan Allspace doesn't just stand out through its longer wheelbase. It also sets itself apart from the more compact Tiguan through design modifications in the front and an expanded range of standard equipment.
The Tiguan Allspace is easily recognisable from the front through the slightly altered design of the hood and radiator grille. The front of the hood has a different contour and it is also built higher.
The newly designed radiator grille is immediately recognisable with its chrome trim strips, some of which extend into the headlights. Particularly striking: the upper chrome strip that stretches across the entire front end.
Tiguan Allspace vehicles are also all equipped with granite grey under-body protection as standard. The roof itself has also been redesigned: striking structural lines are being used for the first time instead of a smooth roof surface – in homage to classic SUVs.
The Tiguan Allspace is also available in on-road and off-road versions. Both the Tiguan NWB and the Tiguan Allspace can be ordered with an optional "off-road package" together with special engine under-body protection that extends to the bumper for off-road driving. The off-road front section improves the vehicle's ramp angle by seven degrees.
More room in the back
The increase in wheelbase and total vehicle length makes the Tiguan Allspace a supremely spacious car that offers an extra 60 mm of knee room for rear passengers and an additional 115 litres of cargo volume. This clever concept has enlarged the interior to an extent that enables the installation of a third row of seats. This third row transforms the Tiguan into an extremely versatile seven-seater. When not in use, the third row of seats can be folded down and integrated in the cargo floor.
Thanks to it great flexibility, the new Allspace can be used in many varied ways. There’s a 230 litre boot behind the third row. Fold the third row seats flat and the boot space increases to 700 litres, fold the second row flat and you have 1 775 litres of boot space. The cargo space length is then 1 921 mm – enough space even for surfboards.
Digitised and connected
The new Tiguan Allspace offers not only a great deal of space, but cutting-edge configuration and connectivity as well. The Volkswagen can, for instance, be ordered with an Active Info Display (fully digital instruments) and a Head-up Display. In addition to that, three different infotainment systems are available. As standard, Trendline and Comfortline models are fitted with the Composition Colour infotainment system. The Composition Media system is available as an option (standard on Highline). In addition, Volkswagen is also offering the Discover Pro navigation system.
With innovative driver assistance systems such as ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) with Front Assist (including City Emergency Braking function), the NWB Tiguan and Tiguan Allspace offer semi-automated driving features that improve comfort and safety.
Engines
The 2.0 TDI with 110kW power output is the only engine of the diesel range. The four-cylinder diesel engine has 340 Nm of torque that is available between 1750 and 3000rpm. The combined fuel consumption is 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres and can be paired with a seven-speed DSG transmission.
The TSI engines are fitted with BlueMotion Technology which include a Start/Stop and brake energy recuperation system to enhance fuel economy.
The 1.4 TSI with 110 kW power output is the base engine of the petrol range. It has 250 Nm of torque that is available from 1500 up to 3500 rpm. The classic 0-100km/h sprint is achieved in 9.5 seconds and has top speed of 200km/h. The combined fuel consumption is 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres. The 110kW engine is only available with a 6-speed DSG transmission.
The next engine in the petrol range and new for the Tiguan is the 2.0 TSI with 132kW power output. The four cylinder petrol engine has 320 Nm of torque that is delivered from 1500 to 3940 rpm. It sprints from 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds and its top speed is at 208km/h. The combined fuel consumption is 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres. The 132kW engine is mated to a seven-speed DSG transmission.
The range topping 162 kW 2.0 TSI engine has a maximum torque of 350 Nm available from a low 1500 rpm. The 0-100 km/h sprint is achieved in 6.8 seconds and it has a top speed of 223 km/h. It is available with 7-speed DSG transmission. The combined fuel economy is a respectable 8.1 litres per 100 kilometres.
