In the markets of many countries, they are already in full swing, but the German manufacturer continues to expand the range of model modifications. In early January, an extended version of the 2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace was shown at the Detroit Motor Show, featuring a more spacious interior and adapted to install a third row of seats. The prefix Allspace will appear in the designation of the European version of the seven-seater SUV, while in the United States market such a modification will be sold simply as Tiguan, because the implementation of some other types of the model is not provided here. Interestingly, the long-wheelbase Volkswagen Tiguan 2017-2018 has been available for purchase in China since mid-December last year. The Chinese version of the crossover has an L prefix and is offered at a price of 211.8 thousand yuan (approximately 1 million 860 thousand rubles).
In Europe, the new Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace will appear in the second half of 2017, the starting price in the native German market is 30,000 euros (1,930 thousand rubles). The appearance of the car in Russia is still in question, although this scenario is not excluded. In this review, we will talk in more detail about the configurations, equipment and technical characteristics of the new Volkswagen.
Minor appearance adjustments
The seven-seater crossover, like the original, is built on the new modular MQB platform, which forms the basis of a number of recently released models, for example, similar in format and. The increase in the wheelbase of the Allspace was 110 mm, so that the final center distance reached 2791 mm. In parallel, the overall length of the body has also increased, reaching an indicator of 4704 mm (+ 215 mm).

All external differences between the long wheelbase and standard versions can be seen when viewed from the side. Moreover, the focus should be primarily on the aft part, which is distinguished by larger rear doors, an elongated overhang and a different configuration of the last section of the side glazing. Of course, the increase in the actual length is easily detected by visual contact, especially conspicuous due to the extended roof line.
body design
There are no other tangible changes in the body design of the new Volkswagen Tiguan 2017-2018 performed by Allspace. The front part is still decorated in the company's simple style with laconic head optics blocks interconnected by chrome-plated false radiator trims. The front bumper is clean-lined with a neat air intake section and miniature foglights on the sides. The stern of the car is equipped with beautiful size shades with interesting graphics, a well-shaped trunk lid and a nice bumper with integrated exhaust pipe trapeziums. Both front and rear lighting equipment can be filled with LEDs. The lower perimeter of the body is prudently protected by plastic.
Spacious interior with spacious trunk
The Tiguan's interior with an extended wheelbase offers even more free space than the classic SUV options. In this case, it is not at all necessary to install a third row of seats, but you can simply take advantage of the increased volume of the luggage compartment. The trunk capacity of the five-seater Tiguan Allspace is 115 liters more than the cargo compartment capacity of a regular Tiguan. With the backs of the rear seats raised, it will be possible to transport up to 730 liters of cargo, with folded down - up to 1770 liters. Another advantage of the long-wheelbase layout is a larger supply of space in the knee area of second-row passengers. Compared to the standard configuration, the gain here is as much as 60 mm.
Salon crossover
Allspace's arsenal will include the entire list of equipment available to the short-wheelbase Tiguan. This includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, multimedia with a 5 or 8-inch screen (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink interfaces are available), Fender premium acoustics, a power fifth door with contactless opening, a panoramic sunroof. The range of electronic assistants will be unusually rich: adaptive cruise control, emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, cross traffic control, lane keeping, traffic jam assistant, automatic braking after collisions.

Whether this model will be sold in Russia is not yet known, but in Europe the new Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace will go on sale this summer at a price of 30,000 euros for the basic version with a 5-seater saloon (the third row is only available as an option).
The new Tiguan Alspace from the German company Volkswagen AG was also presented in January 2017 at the Detroit Auto Show in America. But the first to appreciate the high consumer performance of the Tiguan Allspace were Chinese buyers, since in the Celestial Empire a new seven-seater business class crossover has been on sale since December 2016, albeit under the name Volkswagen Tiguan XL. Thus, it becomes clear that the novelty is a global model.
The new Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace 2nd generation with a 7-seater saloon differs from the original model in body size, which has grown in length by 215 mm, and the wheelbase by 110 mm. The profile of the German crossover looks more solid and harmonious, there is more free space in the cabin (in the second row, the increase was 60 mm), and it was also possible to order two additional seats in the third row.

The dimensions of the rear overhang increased by 105 mm, the increase for the legs of passengers in the second row was 60 mm, the volume of the luggage compartment increased by 145 liters, and with the backrests of the second row folded down by 265 liters.
True, along with the dimensions, the price of a new crossover has also increased. If a regular Volkswagen Tiguan with a 150-horsepower 1.4 TSI petrol, 6 manual transmission and front-wheel drive costs 28,150 euros, then the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace in the basic configuration with exactly the same equipment costs 30,000 euros. In rubles, the difference in price is quite noticeable, for increased overall dimensions you will have to overpay 124,000 rubles. So before buying a new crossover, you need to think carefully. Moreover, the version with a 7-seater saloon has a scanty luggage compartment, only 230 liters. As for equipment, there are no differences between the ordinary Tiguan and the long version of the Allspace.
The novelty is traditionally offered in three trim levels (Trendline, Comfortline, Highline). As additional options, you can order a panoramic glass roof with a sunroof, an electric drive for the tailgate, a premium audio system from Fender, a multimedia system with different screen sizes (MirrorLink, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay), three-zone climate control and a lot of modern systems and electronic assistants. .
