Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace: An Overview

The Tiguan II Allspace is a significant iteration of the Tiguan lineage, building upon the success of the original Tiguan. The “Allspace” designation highlights the vehicle’s key feature: increased interior space, particularly in the third row, making it a viable option for larger families. The 2.0 TDI variant, equipped with a 190 horsepower diesel engine and a 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system coupled with a dual-clutch DSG transmission, represents a popular configuration offering a balance of performance and efficiency.

Engine & Performance

The Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TDI is powered by a 1968 cc (120.09 cu. in.) inline-four cylinder diesel engine, designated the EA288 / DFHA. This engine produces 190 horsepower at 3500-4000 rpm and 400 Nm (295.02 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1900-3300 rpm. The turbocharger and intercooler contribute to enhanced power delivery and efficiency. The engine’s power-to-liter ratio is 96.5 hp/l. Power is delivered to all four wheels via Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, which utilizes an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch to distribute torque between the front and rear axles as needed. This system enhances traction and stability, particularly in adverse weather conditions. The seven-speed DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) automatic transmission provides quick and smooth gear changes, contributing to a responsive driving experience. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 8.2 seconds, while 0-60 mph is achieved in approximately 7.8 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 210 km/h (130.49 mph).
