Volkswagen will unveil the new Tiguan Allspace – an independent variation of the best seller at the 2017 Geneva Motor show. A family car with a 109 mm longer wheelbase and 215 mm additional exterior length over the standard model. The optional 5+2-seat Tiguan Allspace has its European premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show (9 to 19 March).
The new Volkswagen SUV fills the space between the familiar “classic” Tiguan and the upper-range SUV Touareg. Therefore, the Tiguan Allspace, boasting up to 760 litres of luggage capacity, also appeals as an alternative to all those motorists and families that previously had to rely on a van because of the amount of space required. When the Tiguan Allspace is loaded to roof height up to the seatbacks of the first row, its storage capacity is an impressive 1,920 litres.

The bonnet and silhouette show deliberate parallels to another new Volkswagen SUV: the Atlas developed for the USA. At the front, there is also the newly designed radiator grille with its chrome trim strips, some of which extend into the headlights and suggest a visual bridge between the Tiguan Allspace and the Atlas. The upper chrome strip that stretches across the entire front end. Tiguan Allspace vehicles are also all equipped with granite grey underbody protection as standard.
Just like the “classic” Tiguan, the Tiguan Allspace is also available in on-road and off-road versions of the front section.The latter can be ordered with an optional “off-road package” together with special engine underbody protection that extends to the bumper for off-road driving.
