New Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace pricing and specs

Volkswagen Australia has revealed local pricing and specification details for its upgraded 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, with the price of entry to the seven-seat mid-size SUV climbing $3600 to now start from $44,590 plus on-road costs.

Due in showrooms from May, the 2022 Tiguan Allspace line-up will comprise three model grades at launch – Life, Elegance and R-Line – that replace the outgoing Comfortline and Highline trim levels, while four powertrain options continue: three turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines (110TSI, 132TSI and 162TSI) and a turbo-diesel (147TDI).

While each engine variant in the outgoing range was only available in a single grade, the new-look Tiguan Allspace range offers the more powerful 162TSI 2.0-litre petrol (162kW/350Nm) and 147TDI  2.0-litre diesel (147kW/400Nm) in both Elegance and R-Line trim.

Both have a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system fitted standard.

The diesel adds $1500 in each case, while the 162TSI Elegance starts a long way upstream of the entry-level front-wheel drive 110TSI Life by starting at $56,990 plus ORCs.

Opting for the top-spec R-Line adds a further $3200 over the Elegance and pushes the asking price beyond $60K.

At the bottom end, the Life can be had with either the 110TSI 1.4-litre engine (110kW/250Nm) with six-speed DCT, or the 132TSI 2.0-litre (132kW/320Nm), the latter adding $4000 with the extra oomph and the seven-speed DCT and AWD.

See our full price list below.

Regardless of powertrain, Tiguan Allspace Life models come standard with a high level of equipment including 18-inch alloy wheels, an 8.0-inch Discover Media navigation system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, digital radio, wireless App-Connect, wireless phone charging, Digital Cockpit Pro, tri-zone climate control, automatic LED headlights, LED tail-lights, rain-sensing wipers, a reversing camera and powered tailgate.

On the safety front, Volkswagen’s ID. Drive suite comprises travel assist, front assist, lane assist, emergency assist, adaptive cruise control, side assist, rear cross traffic alert, park assist, front and rear parking sensors, driver fatigue detection and 360-degree occupant protection.

Metallic paint costs between $900 and $1100 depending on the colour, while those after a bit more opulence can order their car with the $5500 Luxury Package which adds Vienna leather-appointed upholstery, electrically-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, heated and ventilated front seats and a panoramic electric glass sunroof.

Building on the Life’s standard kit, the Elegance model grade adds bigger 19-inch alloy wheels, ventilated front seats, heated front-row and outer second-row seats, adaptive dampers, Matrix LED headlights with dynamic indicators, a 9.2-inch Discover Pro navigation interface, tinted rear windows, 30-colour ambient interior lighting and some extra chrome and silver styling elements to help underline the connotations of its nameplate.

Like the base models, the Elegance twins are available with metallic paint as well as a panoramic sunroof ($2100) and an exclusive Sound and Vision package ($2600) which adds a head-up display, 360-degree camera and Harman Kardon premium sound system.

As the name suggests, the R-Line amps up the Tiguan Allspace’s sense of athleticism with cosmetic touches including an R-Line body kit, R-Line badging, higher-grade LED tail-lights and 20-inch alloy wheels.

The sporty theme is continued within the cabin too, primarily by the black headliner and Vienna leather-appointed upholstery, along with sports pedals and an R-Line steering wheel – with haptic buttons – to match the unique progressive steering system.

All of the Elegance options are available on the R-Line too.

Boot space in all variants is rated at 230 litres with all three rows of seating in place, a figure that expands to 700L when the third row is stowed.

Compared to the NWB (normal wheelbase) five-seater Volkswagen Tiguan, the Allspace measures 4700mm long (+220mm) and has a much longer rear overhang (+106mm) that allows for the third row.

When those two rearmost seats are not in use, the 700L of available space is 85L more than in the five-seater version, while dropping the second row liberates 1775L in the longer-wheelbase version (+110L).

110TSI Life – $44,590
132TSI Life – $48,590
