The Allspace model offers increased interior space and optional seven-passenger seating, differentiating it from the standard Tiguan. The 2.0 TSI designation indicates the vehicle is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection gasoline engine producing 190 horsepower, coupled with a dual-clutch DSG transmission and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system. This model year, spanning from May 2021 to August 2024, focused on refining the existing platform with updated technology and styling.

Volkswagen Tiguan II Allspace: An Overview

The Tiguan Allspace, and specifically this 2021 facelift, caters to buyers needing more space than the standard Tiguan offers. It’s positioned as a practical family vehicle, competing with other compact SUVs like the Skoda Kodiaq (also a Volkswagen Group product), Nissan X-Trail, and Peugeot 5008 in the European market. Unlike many SUVs sold in the United States, the Tiguan Allspace prioritizes fuel efficiency and a more manageable size for European roads and city driving. The facelift brought styling updates, improved technology, and refinements to the powertrain for enhanced performance and reduced emissions.

Engine & Performance

At the heart of the Tiguan II Allspace 2.0 TSI 4MOTION DSG lies Volkswagen’s EA888 evo4 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. This engine produces 190 horsepower (Hp) and 320 Newton-meters (236.02 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1500 and 4100 rpm. The direct injection system and turbocharging contribute to both power output and fuel 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. This system enhances traction and stability, particularly in adverse weather conditions. The seven-speed dual-clutch DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) transmission provides quick and smooth gear changes, contributing to a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 7.7 seconds. The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is 8.7 kg/Hp, and the torque-to-weight ratio is 5.2 kg/Nm, indicating a responsive driving experience. Maximum speed is electronically limited to 213 km/h (132.35 mph).

Design & Features

The Tiguan II Allspace is a five-door SUV with a body length of 4728 mm (186.14 in). The facelifted model features revised front and rear styling, including updated headlights and taillights, a redesigned grille, and a new front bumper. The interior is characterized by a modern and functional design, with a focus on practicality and comfort. Standard features typically include a touchscreen infotainment system, climate control, and a range of driver-assistance systems. The Allspace model’s extended wheelbase provides ample legroom for passengers in both the first and second rows, and the optional third-row seating increases passenger capacity to seven. Trunk space is a significant advantage, offering 760 liters (26.84 cu. ft.) with the rear seats up and 1920 liters (67.8 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down.
