The Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace (facelift 2021) 2.0 TDI (150 Hp) represents a mid-cycle refresh of a popular compact SUV, primarily aimed at the European market. The Tiguan Allspace is a long-wheelbase version of the standard Tiguan, offering increased passenger and cargo space, particularly appealing to families. This facelift, introduced in May 2021 and continuing through November 2023, brought updated styling, enhanced technology, and refined engine options, including this 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel variant. While not officially sold in the United States in this specific configuration, the Tiguan is available in the US market, albeit with different engine choices and trim levels. The Allspace version caters to buyers needing more versatility than the standard Tiguan provides.
Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace: Overview
The Tiguan II Allspace, as part of the broader Tiguan lineup, occupies the compact SUV segment, competing with vehicles like the Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai Tucson, and Peugeot 3008 in Europe. The “Allspace” designation highlights its extended wheelbase, adding approximately 110mm (4.3 inches) to the overall length compared to the standard Tiguan. This translates to a more spacious cabin and a significantly larger cargo area. The 2021 facelift focused on modernizing the exterior design, upgrading the interior with improved technology, and ensuring the vehicle met the latest Euro 6d emission standards. The 2.0 TDI engine, producing 150 horsepower, was a key powertrain option, offering a balance of fuel efficiency and performance.
Engine & Performance
The Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TDI is powered by a 1968cc (120.09 cu. in.) inline-four cylinder diesel engine, designated the EA288 evo / DTSA. This engine utilizes a turbocharger and intercooler to deliver 150 horsepower (112 kW) and 340 Nm (250.77 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1600 and 3000 rpm. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The engine’s design incorporates a diesel commonrail fuel injection system and a DOHC valvetrain with four valves per cylinder. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 9.8 seconds, while 0-60 mph is achieved in approximately 9.3 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 200 km/h (124.27 mph). Fuel consumption figures, measured using the WLTP cycle, range from 4.5 l/100 km (52.3 US mpg) at high speed to 6.6 l/100 km (35.6 US mpg) at low speed, with a combined consumption of 5.3 l/100 km (44.4 US mpg). CO2 emissions are rated at 138 g/km (WLTP) and 123 g/km (NEDC). The engine also features a Start & Stop system and a particulate filter to reduce emissions.
Design & Features
The Tiguan II Allspace boasts a classic SUV body style with five doors and seating for five passengers. The 2021 facelift brought a revised front fascia with a more prominent grille, redesigned headlights (likely incorporating LED technology), and a new front bumper. The rear of the vehicle also received updated taillights and a revised bumper. Inside, the Allspace offers a spacious and practical cabin. The extended wheelbase provides ample legroom for rear passengers, and the adjustable rear seats enhance versatility. Trunk space is a key highlight, offering 760 liters (26.84 cu. ft.) with the rear seats up and expanding to 1920 liters (67.8 cu. ft.) when folded down. Standard features typically include air conditioning, an infotainment system with touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, and various driver-assistance systems such as ABS and electronic stability control. Safety features are prioritized, with multiple airbags and advanced driver-assistance systems available depending on the trim level.
