Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace: 2017–2024 7-seater SUV, engines and trims
Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace – the longer version of the Tiguan with the option of a third row of seats. Produced from 2017–2024. We look at the differences from the standard Tiguan, engines, trims, and what to check when buying a used car.
Allspace in brief
Allspace – the stretched second-generation Tiguan with a larger wheelbase, more spacious boot, and the option to order seven seats. The technology and interior are essentially the same as the standard Tiguan.
This is the family car for those who need more space than the standard Tiguan. The third row of seats is better suited for children or short trips.
Which version to choose
The earliest cars (2017–2020) had traditional trims (Trendline, Comfortline, Highline), and after the 2020 update, Life, Elegance, and R-Line names appeared along with more modern multimedia.
The updated version has more driver assistance systems and newer technology, but the earlier cars are cheaper. The most important thing is a clear service history.
Engines and gearboxes
Offered are petrol TSI (e.g., 1.4 and 2.0) and diesel 2.0 TDI engines with varying power. The updated version also includes the plug-in hybrid eHybrid variant.
Most commonly, the gearbox is a DSG automatic, and in more powerful versions, there's also 4Motion all-wheel drive. A manual gearbox is less common.
What to check when buying a used Allspace
Test the DSG gearbox during acceleration and slow driving: judders or jolts can indicate a clutch or mechatronics issue. Ask if the oil has been changed.
In a diesel car, check the DPF, AdBlue system, and any software updates performed. With 4Motion, it's worth testing the gearbox on slippery surfaces.
Check the third-row seat mechanism if the car is a seven-seater, and the electronics and multimedia functionality.
