A 7-seater with superior handling, advanced safety and leading-edge technology, the new Tiguan Allspace is is an adventure in itself.
Cue the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, which gets an extra shot of steroids to give it that fully grown-up touch. In total, 215mm has been added between the front and rear wheels of the standard Tiguan to help accommodate seven seats, while adding some extra boot space when the third row is folded.
Practicality. Considering it doesn't look much bigger than the standard Tiguan, the Allspace packs a lot of space in and offers almost as much room as the Kodiaq. Its rearmost pair of seats flip up from the boot floor when you need them, and the seats themselves are only big enough for kids.
The new 2018 Tiguan is about 11 inches longer than its predecessor, and both wider and taller, too. If you value cargo room more than people room, opting for a model without the third row bumps your total cargo capacity up to 73.5 cubic feet, a full 30 percent more than the old Tiguan.
