Volkswagen has showcased its SUV, the Volkswagen
Tiguan Allspace at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace bridges the gap
between compact Tiguan and the premium class Touareg. The 5+2 seater SUV gets
LED DRL and tail lights.
The front fascia is available in on-road and off-road
guise. The latter can be availed optionally via the “off-road package”, which
includes bumper and underbody protection and improves the vehicle’s approach
angle by 7 degrees. The SUV is 4,701 mm long, 1,839 mm wide without mirrors,
and 1,674 mm high. The vehicle offers 215 mm additional exterior length than
the Tiguan. At 2,787 mm, the wheelbase is 109 mm longer as well.
Moving inside, the SUV features Composition Colour
Media System together with the Connectivity Package (phone and USB interfaces),
a multifunction steering wheel, and a variable cargo floor as standard. The
top-of-the range Discover Pro system with its 9.2-inch display offers gesture
control for the first time in the segment. The cargo space stands at 700 litres
with the third-row seats folded down.
On the powertrain front, there are six engine
options with front wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The three turbocharged TSI
petrol engines develop 150 PS, 180 PS and 220 PS.
The three turbocharged TDI diesel engines are available with output levels of 150 PS, 190 PS and 240 PS. The entry-level petrol
and diesel variants get a front-wheel drive, while the diesel model has an
optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The rest of the petrol and diesel variants
get all-wheel drive as standard. Same applies to the DSG gearbox.
Coming to the safety department, highlights include
Adaptive Cruise Control; Emergency Assist; Traffic Jam Assist; Driver Alert
System and proactive occupant protection system. The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace
is available in three equipment lines- Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. The
price of the SUV starts at 30,000 Euros in Germany and is launching in Europe
this month.
VW is also displaying the Allspace R-Line variant
that comes with visual differences in the exterior and interior.
