An updated version of this popular and versatile family-hauler has been confirmed to arrive in Australia very soon, filling a gap in the line-up.
2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.
Volkswagen has updated the seven-seat version of its versatile Tiguan family SUV.
The Tiguan Allspace bridges the gap between the smaller five-seat Tiguan and the larger and much more expensive Touareg.
Prices start at $44,590 (before on-road costs) and rise to $61,690.
Due to arrive in showrooms from May, the Allspace is available in six model grades with the choice of four engines: three petrol and one diesel.
Base Life grades get two engine choices: a familiar 110kW/250Nm 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine – also found in the popular Golf small car – and a 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit making 132kW/320Nm.
The Allspace has seven seats.
The 1.4-litre engine is paired with a six-speed dual-clutch auto and front-wheel drive.
All other variants in the range get all-wheel drive and a dual-clutch auto with seven ratios.
Life versions score 18-inch alloy wheels, LED head and tail lights and an electric tailgate.
Inside there’s an eight-inch central display and a 10.25-inch digital instrument display. Also standard is Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a wireless device charging pad.
Buyers of the mid-tier Elegance grade can choose between a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine making 162kW/350Nm and a 2.0-litre turbodiesel producing 147kW/400Nm.
R-Line versions get a steering wheel with haptic feedback buttons.
The front seats are heated and ventilated and the rear window seats also have a heating function.
A bigger 9.2-inch central touchscreen, ambient lighting and 19-inch alloy wheels add to the vehicle’s appeal.
Top-spec R-Line versions have the same engine options as the Elegance grade but have 20-inch alloy wheels, lots of unique R-Line exterior styling tweaks, stainless steel pedals and a R-Line steering wheel with haptic feedback buttons.
Prices start at a little over $50,000 drive-away.
All versions come with a wide range of active driver aids including auto emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert.
