Volkswagen will debut the seven-seat Tiguan Allspace at the upcoming Detroit motor show in January, 2017. The Nissan X-Trail rival will then go on sale in international markets in May 2017.
The more practical Tiguan Allspace sits on a wheelbase that’s 11cm longer than the regular Tiguan and its body is 22cm longer. The car’s design was recently all but completely revealed in the form of a thinly disguised prototype. While the SUV’s design sticks to the look of the regular Tiguan, enlarged dimensions of the cabin and the longer wheelbase give the Allspace less taut proportions.
The Tiguan Allspace is expected to be offered with the same 2.0-litre TDI diesel options and a choice of 1.4- and 2.0-litre petrol engines as the standard car in international markets.
Volkswagen plans to bring the standard Tiguan to India sometime in mid-2017 and is expected to be assembled locally at the carmaker’s Aurangabad plant. The mainstay engine, a 2.0-litre diesel, will come with a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox and an optional all-wheel drive.
