All New VW Tiguan Allspace coming in 2018

Volkswagen is expanding its Tiguan range with the addition of the Tiguan Allspace – a seven seater version which will add more space, an extra two seats and even more luggage capacity.

The Tiguan is one of the most famous models in the VW range and has been mostly known for its all-round practicality. The latest second generation Tiguan launched last year in 2016.

What is the difference between Tiguan & the Tiguan Allspace?

The Tiguan Estate is basically the seven-seater brother of the Tiguan which made its official public debut at the recent 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

Once its released, the Tiguan Allspace will take on its main rivals in the market the: Nissan X-Trail, Skoda Kodiaq and the Discovery Sport.

Design:

With extra seats, the Tiguan Allspace is longer than the regular five seater Tiguan and its rear doors are a bit longer than the normal model. The bonnet is also raised at the front above the radiator grille to help adapt the proportions to the longer overall length.

The Tiguan Allspace is bigger by 215mm and has an increased wheelbase of 109mm. The boot has also increased in size, that means more luggage capacity of up to 760 litres which is 145 litres more than the standard Tiguan. It also includes the functionality of folding the rear seats down to increase space up to 1920 litres.
