Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace 2016–2020 car dimensions: 4701 mm long, 1839 mm wide and 1674 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,570 kg. Braked towing is 2,500 kg.
The cabin offers an 8-inch touchscreen as standard with App-Connect for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all models. Three-zone Climatronic climate control is fitted across the range. Adaptive cruise control and Front Assist with automatic emergency braking are standard, as is Lane Assist. Front and rear parking sensors come standard. Blind spot monitoring with rear traffic alert and a reversing camera are available depending on trim or as options. The interior feels spacious with flexible second-row seating and optional third row for family use.
Boot space measures 700 litres with the third row folded and second row in place, expanding to 1775 litres with the second row folded flat. With all seven seats up, space behind the third row is limited to around 230 litres. The longer body provides useful extra volume over the standard Tiguan for family loads.
Braked towing capacity reaches 2500 kg on 4MOTION models and up to 2000 kg or 1800 kg on front-wheel-drive versions depending on engine. Unbraked towing is 750 kg across the range. An optional off-road package includes underbody protection for light work use. Payload varies by engine and equipment but supports everyday family and light commercial duties.
The cabin offers a solid, quality feel with soft-touch surfaces and good space for five adults plus occasional third-row use. Front comfort or sport seats provide height and lumbar support, with power multi-way adjustment and memory on higher grades plus optional massage. Three-zone climate control keeps all rows comfortable. An optional panoramic sliding roof floods the interior with light. Storage is practical with drawers, armrests and roof compartments. The overall impression is refined and practical for family use.
Petrol and diesel engines available with combined fuel use from roughly 4.5 to 8.1 L/100 km depending on variant.
Service choice of fixed (oil change yearly or 10,000 miles) or flexible (up to 18,600 miles or 24 months).
Five-star Euro NCAP rating shared with the standard Tiguan, covering adult, child and assist scores.
Standard safety includes multiple airbags, ESC, AEB with pedestrian detection, lane keep and fatigue alert on most grades.
ISOFIX points on second-row outer seats and proactive occupant protection.
Fuel economy varies by engine and drivetrain. Petrol TSI units and diesel TDI options with SCR and AdBlue cover a wide range. Official combined figures sit between the mid-4s and low-8s L/100 km. Real-world use depends on load, driving style and whether 4MOTION is fitted. Tank size is around 58-60 litres.
Servicing follows Volkswagen’s fixed or flexible regimes. Fixed means oil and filter every 12 months or 10,000 miles. Flexible uses sensors and can stretch oil changes to nearly 19,000 miles or two years. Brake fluid changes every two years after the first three. DSG fluid intervals appear at higher mileages. Warranty is typically three years with optional extensions.
Safety is strong. The Allspace carries the five-star Euro NCAP result of the regular Tiguan with high adult and child scores. Kit includes front, side and curtain airbags (plus knee on some), electronic stability, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise, lane assist and driver fatigue detection. Higher grades add blind-spot monitoring and area-view cameras. ISOFIX and seat-belt reminders cover all rows.
Living with the car is straightforward. The longer body and sliding second row make family duties easy. Electric tailgate and optional park assist help in tight spaces. Regular oil and filter changes plus AdBlue top-ups on diesels keep it running cleanly. Soft-touch cabin materials wear well and the three-zone climate holds temperature steadily on long trips.
