The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace – a longer and larger variant of the Tiguan SUV – has been revealed at the Detroit motor show.

There is a 215mm addition to the overall length of the Tiguan, including 110mm added to the wheelbase which allows the interior to accommodate an extra row of two seats or an additional 115 litres of boot space, according to Volkswagen.

On the outside, it’s largely similar to the standard Tiguan, with only minor revisions to the bonnet and front grille. The car’s profile is also slightly altered due to the extra length.

Volkswagen is currently testing the standard Tiguan in India which is likely to be assembled at the VW Group plant in Aurangabad. For India, the Tiguan is bound to get the option of petrol and diesel engines. Transmission duties will be handled by a seven-speed dual-clutch unit, and the SUV will be available in both front-wheel-drive and 4MOTION all-wheel-drive guises. The standard wheelbase Tiguan is likely to come to India sometime this year.
