Volkswagen South Africa has announced the launch of its new Tiguan Allspace – aimed at closing the the gap between the compact Tiguan and the premium class Touareg.

Volkswagen said that the vehicle’s 215 mm additional external length creates capacity for a standard third row of seats, which turns the longer wheelbase Tiguan into a 7-seater.

It will also feature a increased boot space of 115 litres, while a new 132kW TSI engine is being added to the range for the first time.

“However the Allspace doesn’t just stand out through its longer wheelbase,” said Volkswagen. “It also sets itself apart from the more compact Tiguan through design modifications in the front and an expanded range of standard equipment.”

Trim lines

The Allspace is available in three trim lines – Trendline, Comfortline and Highline.

However, all of them include expanded standard features; highlighting its positioning between the NWB Tiguan and the flagship Touareg.

Tiguan Allspace Trendline

Available with the 1.4 TSI 110 kW engine, the Tiguan Allspace Trendline is entry level only in terms of price, said Volkswagen.

Compared to the NWB, the Tiguan Allspace Trendline has the following extras:

• LED daytime running lights
• Light and Visibility Package (Auto dimming mirror, rain sensor and auto headlight control and High Beam Assist)
• Chrome trapezoidal panels for exhaust system tailpipes
• Front underbody protection in granite grey
• Privacy glass on rear and side windows

Tiguan Allspace Comfortline

Compared to the Allspace Trendline it is available in 2.0 TSI 132kW 4MOTION or 2.0 TDI 110kW 4MOTION variation.

In addition to the features of the Comfortline (NWB) and Tiguan Allspace Trendline, this version offers the following:

• Electrically opening and closing tailgate

Tiguan Allspace Highline

The top-of-the-range model is the Tiguan Allspace Highline. The Allspace Highline is exclusively configured with the powerful 2.0 TSI 162 kW engine with 4MOTION.

Over and above this, the Tiguan Allspace Highline has further features added:
