No prices revealed, though.
Volkswagen has publicised some salient details about its upcoming “5+2” crossover, the Tiguan Allspace. The Allspace is an elongated version of the standard 5-seater Tiguan, and offers greater versatility and practicality for those who need those extra two rearmost jumpseats.
The Tiguan Allspace will be available in Comfortline and Highline guises, with 110TSI (110kW/250Nm), 132TSI (132kW/320Nm), 110TDI (110kW/340Nm), 140TDI (140kW/400Nm), and 162TSI (162kW/350Nm) powertrain options. The base 110TSI model gets front-wheel drive and a six-speed DSG automatic, while the rest of the range benefits from 4Motion all-wheel drive and a seven-speed DSG automatic.
Comfortline trim will get a choice between 110TSI, 132TSI, and 110TDI. Highline cars get either a 140TDI or 162TSI powerplant.
While Comfortline might be the entry trim, it’s hardly spartan in spec. You can find AEB (city-speeds only, though), all-round parking sensors, semi-autonomous parking assistant, rear-view camera, electric-tailgate and keyless entry all lobbed on as standard. Further exterior bits and bobs include LED headlights with LED daytime running lights (automatic too), electric mirrors, and automatic windscreen wipers.
You also get 18-inch alloy wheels included in the price.
Cabin appointments include an 8.0-inch infotainment system with smartphone mirroring, tri-zone climate control, and three USB ports.
Step up to a Highline model and you get smart cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and an adaptive suspension setup. There are also heated seats for the front seats and the second row, with the former two chairs getting electric adjustment as well. You’ll find a 9.2-inch glass-fronted infotainment system with smartphone mirroring as well, though there’s also a native GPS navigation system, too.
You’ll find 19-inch alloys on the outside too, as well as LED taillights.
There’s a selection of cost options available (though prices for these too were not revealed). There’s a ‘Driver Assistance Package’ for Comfortline cars, adding the smart-cruise, blind-spot monitoring, and ‘dynamic’ LED headlights to the kit list. There’s also a ‘Luxury Package’ which throws in leather upholstery and electric front seats (like the Highline), as well as a panoramic sunroof (which even the Highline doesn’t get).
Further, there’s a ‘Sound & Vision Package’ which adds a fully-digitised driver instrument display, 360º camera system, as well as “premium audio.” And if you want more aggression with your Tiguan Allspace Highline, you can go for the ‘R-Line Package’ which throws in 20-inch alloys, a bodykit, a black rear spoiler, R-Line-unique leather upholstery, stainless-steel pedals and kickplates, as well as a unique steering wheel.
The Tiguan Allspace is due to land in Australia in July, though we’ll bring you prices and further details far sooner than that. Stay tuned to CarShowroom as we bring you more updates as they come.
