Volkswagen Australia has confirmed local pricing and specifications for its seven-seat Tiguan Allspace, a key model in the German car maker’s SUV expansion plans.

While it shares a name and is developed alongside VW’s popular Tiguan mid-size SUV, the Tiguan Allspace is a bigger, more premium offering with its 215mm extra length resulting in a cavernous 760-litre rear cargo compartment that can be used to add two more seats.

Powertrains match the smaller Tiguan’s range, with a choice of three turbocharged petrol and two turbo diesel engines.

Allspace Comfortline is divided into 110TSI front-wheel-drive with six-speed DSG transmission, 132TSI turbocharged petrol, and 110TDI turbo diesel all-wheel-drive variants, with seven-speed DSG.

Moving up to the Highline spec, priced from $52,990, brings more powerful engines including the Golf GTI-derived 162TSI (162kW/350Nm) turbocharged petrol engine and the 140 TDI turbo diesel – each of have the seven-speed DSG sending power to all four wheels.
