The Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TDI (150 Hp) SCR DSG is a compact SUV produced by the German manufacturer Volkswagen from 2019 to 2020. This model represents an extended-wheelbase version of the standard Tiguan II, offering optional seven-passenger seating. Primarily sold in the European market, the Allspace aimed to provide a more practical and spacious option within the popular compact SUV segment, competing with vehicles like the Nissan X-Trail and Peugeot 5008. The “Allspace” designation highlights the increased interior volume and cargo capacity compared to the standard Tiguan. This version was not officially sold in the United States, where the standard Tiguan was offered.
Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace: An Overview
The Tiguan II Allspace is part of Volkswagen’s broader strategy to cater to diverse family needs. The extended wheelbase, adding approximately 110mm (4.3 inches) to the standard Tiguan, primarily benefits rear passengers and increases luggage space. The 2.0 TDI variant, equipped with a turbo-diesel engine and a dual-clutch gearbox (DSG), was a popular choice in Europe due to its balance of fuel efficiency and performance. The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system was implemented to meet stringent Euro 6 emissions standards.
Engine & Performance
The Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TDI is powered by a 1968 cc (120.09 cu. in.) inline-four cylinder diesel engine. This engine produces 150 horsepower (Hp) at 3500-4000 rpm and 340 Nm (250.77 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1750 and 3000 rpm. The turbocharger and intercooler enhance engine performance, providing a responsive driving experience. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) automatic transmission. This transmission is known for its quick and smooth gear changes. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 9.7 seconds, while 0-60 mph is achieved in 9.2 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 200 km/h (124.27 mph). Fuel economy is a strong point, with combined figures ranging from 4.8 to 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers (49 to 45.2 US mpg). The engine also incorporates a Start & Stop system and a particulate filter to reduce emissions.
Design & Features
The Tiguan II Allspace maintains the contemporary SUV styling of the standard Tiguan, with a focus on practicality and a relatively understated aesthetic. The body style is a five-door SUV, with the key differentiator being the elongated rear section to accommodate the optional third-row seating. The interior is designed with family use in mind, offering comfortable seating and a flexible cargo area. The Allspace boasts a trunk volume ranging from 230 liters (8.12 cu. ft.) with all seats up to 1775 liters (62.68 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down. Standard features typically included air conditioning, an infotainment system with touchscreen display, and various driver-assistance systems. Safety features, crucial for a family vehicle, included ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), and multiple airbags. The vehicle’s dimensions are 4701 mm (185.08 in.) in length, 1839 mm (72.4 in.) in width, and 1674 mm (65.91 in.) in height. The wheelbase is 2787 mm (109.72 in.).
