The Allspace lives up to its name, because it’s bigger than the standard Tiguan model – almost 22 centimetres longer and just shy of 11 centimetres wider. Fitted with five seats as standard, the vehicle sees an increase in legroom for second-row occupants. Boot volume has expanded too, from the smaller Tiguan’s 615 litres to 760 litres. Owners can use the extra room to include an optional third row of seats, which makes the vehicle particularly suitable for larger families. These additional seats, when folded, are absorbed within the luggage compartment. In seven-seat mode, cargo capacity ranges from 230 litres to 700 litres (third row folded). With all but the front seats flipped, there’s 1,920 litres of load space to play with.

Protecting You and Your Family
The standard Tiguan model has already been awarded Euro NCAP’s maximum five-star crash test rating, which bodes well for the Allspace. An array of driver aids and passive safety features come as standard with this larger sibling. Included is Automatic Emergency Braking, which significantly reduces the chances of rear-end collision at low speeds. Lane-keeping Assist features too, monitoring the progress of the vehicle and alerting the driver if it ever starts to move out of your intended lane. The usual stability and traction control systems are included, as are passive safety features such as multiple airbags.

Technically Speaking
All models feature an eight-inch infotainment screen, which is located on the centre console, and at a level that makes it very easy for the driver to view and operate. The car’s sound system comes with DAB radio as standard, providing a wide range of stations in crystal clear sound quality. Bluetooth connectivity features too, enabling audio streaming from compatible media devices, and allowing the driver to make and receive hands-free calls. Smartphone mirroring comes in the form of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy for the driver to safely access apps, phone contacts and much more.
Higher spec variants also feature Volkswagen’s Active Info Display (AID), which is positioned behind the steering wheel. AID takes the place of old-fashioned dials, while also providing, among other things, satellite navigation data.
HIGH QUALITY
Say hello to the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace
The Volkswagen Tiguan, a well-regarded compact crossover, is now joined by its larger counterpart, the Tiguan Allspace. This new addition to the range is ideal for anyone who requires something a little larger than a typical family car but doesn’t want to opt for an MPV. This stylish, well-built SUV is exceedingly practical, and provides the option to transport seven travellers. The standard Tiguan has already been widely commended for its well-crafted interior, and the Allspace certainly doesn’t disappoint in this regard. The cabin is constructed with high-quality materials and has a distinctly solid look and feel. It’s well laid-out too and provides an extremely comfortable automotive environment.
Practically Perfect
At first sight, the Allspace doesn’t appear to look any bigger than its smaller sibling. This is a good thing, of course, because it means that the car is compact enough to easily navigate busy towns and cities, where space is a premium. The vehicle features a redesigned bonnet line, which allows for the subtle increase in dimensions, an expansive chrome-trimmed radiator grille, and smart new headlights. The car possesses a raised ride height, comes with newly designed side window apertures and features a gently tapering roofline that culminates in a discreet rear spoiler. A five-door body-style ensures that access to the Allspace’s enlarged interior is simple for all concerned; especially since the rear doors are wider than those of the standard Tiguan model.
An Efficient Performer
Three petrol and three diesel engine options are available for the Tiguan Allspace, with outputs of 146bhp, 184bhp, 214bhp and 234bhp. All but 146bhp petrol and diesel units come with the option of all-wheel drive and a direct-shift gearbox. It’s expected that the 2.0-litre 148bhp diesel unit will be the most popular choice. This features seven-speed DSG transmission and four-wheel drive, making it ideal for drivers who enjoy a range of motoring scenarios, including long-distance journeys. The same engine delivers 340Nm of torque and 0-60mph in close to 10 seconds, while managing up to over 47mpg and a 153g/km CO2 emission figure.
