The Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TSI (220 Hp) 4MOTION 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 marketed in Europe and other regions outside of North America, the Allspace aimed to provide a more versatile and spacious option within the popular compact SUV segment. It builds upon the success of the Tiguan, offering increased practicality without significantly compromising the driving experience. The “Allspace” designation highlights the vehicle’s focus on interior space and family-oriented functionality.
Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace: An Overview
The Tiguan II Allspace is part of Volkswagen’s broader strategy to cater to diverse customer needs within the SUV market. While the standard Tiguan is a five-seater, the Allspace provides an optional third row of seats, increasing passenger capacity to seven. This extended version is approximately 215 millimeters (8.5 inches) longer than the standard Tiguan, with the majority of the added length contributing to increased rear passenger space and cargo volume. The 2.0 TSI 4MOTION DSG variant, specifically, combines a powerful turbocharged gasoline engine with Volkswagen’s all-wheel-drive system and a dual-clutch transmission, offering a balance of performance, efficiency, and all-weather capability.
Engine & Performance
The Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TSI 4MOTION DSG is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, designated EA888 / DNJA. This engine produces 220 horsepower at 4500 rpm and 350 Nm (258.15 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1500 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection and an intercooler to enhance performance and efficiency. Power is delivered to all four wheels via Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, which utilizes a multi-plate clutch to distribute torque between the front and rear axles as needed. The transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG), known for its quick and smooth gear changes. This powertrain configuration allows the Tiguan Allspace to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 9.2 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 223 km/h (138.57 mph). The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is 7.6 kg/Hp, and the torque-to-weight ratio is 4.8 kg/Nm.
Design & Features
The Tiguan II Allspace maintains the contemporary SUV styling of the standard Tiguan, with a focus on clean lines and a robust appearance. The vehicle features a five-door body style and, as mentioned, offers optional seven-passenger seating. Key design elements include a prominent front grille, distinctive headlights, and sculpted body panels. Inside, the Allspace prioritizes practicality and comfort. The extended wheelbase translates to increased legroom for second-row passengers, and the optional third-row seats are suitable for occasional use. The interior is typically well-appointed, with quality materials and a user-friendly infotainment system. Standard and optional features include climate control, a touchscreen display, navigation, and various driver-assistance systems. Safety features, crucial for a family-oriented vehicle, include ABS, electronic stability control, and multiple airbags. The vehicle’s trunk space is highly versatile, ranging from 230 liters (8.12 cu. ft.) with all seats in place to 1775 liters (62.68 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down.
