The Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TDI (150 Hp) SCR 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.
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, directly benefits rear passenger legroom and boot space. The 2.0 TDI SCR variant, equipped with a 150 horsepower diesel engine and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology for emissions control, was a popular choice in Europe due to its balance of fuel efficiency and performance. This model was not officially sold in the United States, where Volkswagen focused on the standard Tiguan.
Engine & Performance
The Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TDI SCR is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine, designated DBGC. This engine produces 150 horsepower at 3500-4000 rpm and 340 Nm (250.77 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1750 and 3000 rpm. The engine utilizes a turbocharger with an intercooler to enhance power output and efficiency. Fuel is delivered via a Diesel Commonrail injection system, ensuring precise fuel metering for optimal combustion. The engine’s 16.2:1 compression ratio is typical for diesel engines, contributing to their inherent efficiency.
Performance figures include a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 9.7 seconds and a 0-60 mph time of 9.2 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 202 km/h (125.52 mph). The front-wheel-drive configuration, coupled with a six-speed manual transmission, contributes to a weight-to-power ratio of 10.7 kg/Hp and a weight-to-torque ratio of 4.7 kg/Nm. The inclusion of a Start & Stop system further enhances fuel economy in urban driving conditions. The engine meets Euro 6d-TEMP-EVAP-ISC emission standards, demonstrating Volkswagen’s commitment to reducing harmful emissions.
Design & Features
The Tiguan II Allspace maintains the contemporary SUV styling of the standard Tiguan II, with a focus on practicality and a refined aesthetic. Its body style is a five-door SUV, offering seating for up to seven passengers depending on the configuration. The extended wheelbase is the most significant visual difference, providing a more elongated profile. 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.
Key features include a spacious interior, a flexible seating arrangement, and a generous cargo capacity. The trunk space ranges from a minimum of 230 liters (8.12 cu. ft.) with all seats in use to a maximum of 1775 liters (62.68 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down. Standard safety features include ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and a robust braking system with ventilated discs at the front and discs at the rear. The vehicle also incorporates electric power steering for ease of maneuverability. The Allspace offers a comfortable ride, aided by a wheelbase of 2787 mm (109.72 in) and a ride height of 191 mm (7.52 in).
