Volkswagen Tiguan and Tiguan Allspace pricing and features 

Update, May 12: Volkswagen has taken the covers off its eagerly anticipated seven-seater Tiguan Allspace SUV.

Receiving a raft of updates that bring it into line with the regular Tiguan unveiled back in February (see below), the refreshed Allspace represents an important product for the German carmaker, as 55 per cent of all Tiguans sold globally are the longer wheelbase Allspace variant.

Thanks to a redesigned front end, the facelifted Allspace is 22mm longer than the car it replaces, now measuring 4723 mm. Other dimensions remain the same as its predecessor – 1839mm wide, 1667mm tall, and a wheelbase measuring 2790mm.

Powertrain options are thought to mimic the updated five-seater, which means a choice of a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, and a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine.

The latest SUV will also score the raft of new IQ.DRIVE safety features and Volkswagen’s Travel Assist system, which enables the car to brake, accelerate and centre itself on the highway at speeds up to 210km/h.

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace is expected to arrive in Australia in the first quarter of 2022, with pricing and further specs expected to be unveiled closer to the car’s local launch.

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace

February 8: The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan has received a raft of visual and tech upgrades as part of the medium-sized SUV’s mid-life update.

The changes should make the Tiguan a more appealing proposition in what is one of the most fiercely contested market segments in the automotive industry, with the VW going toe-to-toe with the likes of Mazda’s CX-5 and Toyota’s RAV4.

The high-riding five-door now comes equipped with the German marque’s IQ.DRIVE suite as standard across the range, which enables adaptive lane guidance and adaptive cruise control to provide a semi-autonomous driving experience.

Other standard features fitted to the updated Tiguan line-up include VW’s 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, Proactive Occupant Protection, haptic-touch climate control, and for mid and top-spec Elegance and R-Line variants, IQ Light Matrix LED Headlights.

Ticking the option box for the Sound and Vision Package gives the Elegance and R-Line models a head-up display, area view, and a Harman Kardon premium sound system.

Engines, transmission and fuel economy

Depending on the model variant, the Tiguan is available with three different engine choices – a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, and a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine.

The 1.4-litre turbo four-cylinder, called the 110TSI, produces 110kW and 250Nm and is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Fuel economy is rated 7.7L/100km on the combined cycle.

For the 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder, there are two states of tune available. The first is the 132TSI, which makes 132kW and 320Nm.

It sends its power through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and returns a combined fuel economy rating of 7.9L/100km.

The punchier 162TSI tune produces 162kW and 350Nm and is also coupled with the seven-speed dual-clutch auto.

The extra oomph does make for a slightly thirstier experience, with the most powerful petrol engine producing a combined fuel figure of 8.5L/100km.

The 147TDI 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel is only available in one state of tune, producing 147kW and 400Nm.

Like the 132TSI and 162TSI, the diesel donk utilises the seven-speed dual-clutch, and on the combined cycle, returns a combined fuel economy figure of 6.1L/100km.
