    Tiguan Allspace

    If you are interested at all, the Tiguan Allspace is already available and on the roads over here in NZ. You can see all the specs for what we get here (will probably be slightly different to the Aussie specs) on the VW NZ website: Volkswagen New Zealand - Tiguan Allspace

    You can also see prices for ones for sale along with real life photos here: TradeMe.co.nz - tiguan allspace for sale, New Zealand

        I think it will add a good level or practicality to the Tiguan. Even if not using the two rear seats, the luggage room will be greatly expanded.

        I wouldn't go for it because the room in the standard Tiguan is enough for my family. The sliding seats are great. Had use for them twice now when something was just a bit too long. Rear passengers sacrifice some legroom.

          Sorry about that but yes I am really glad I got the Dynaudio upgrade in mine. I chose it over getting the sunroof and after having a standard Tiguan loan car realised just how much better it was especially the bass!!

              A few unhappy people with the Allspace quality control. There are instance of bad welding of the hood bows, a lot of complaints about the transmission which is not DSG but an Asian 8 speed torque converter and the back seat which is basically unusable being the main ones.

                Surely there is no chance that the Aussie-spec Allspace has a non-DSG transmission.

                  It does not have a DSG and is sourced from the Mexican production line that supplies the US, it is a specific US model being sold globally. The US does not get the SWB version sourced from Europe.

                    The US MQB Tiguan is going to be built out of the VW factory in Mexico.

                    I believe the Allspace that we will be getting is RHD version from the factory in Germany.

                      Here is the UK brochure.


                      ...and the NZ brochure.


                      They both get a DSG... so my guess is we’ll get one in Oz too.
                      No idea why North American market gets an old slush box torque converter... perhaps the risk of Class Actions in the US is a deterrent for DSG...

                      As far as the back seats go, think kids only. I assume there will be 4 places for child’s car seat - 2 in the middle row and 2 in the back row with tether points. For me, chances are the back row will be folded up once in a blue moon when the Grandparents come to visit and we all go out for Sunday brunch - 4 adults, 2 kids. The rest of the time, it’ll be folded flat with a boot liner, pile of pushchairs and scooters on top

                        From other sources such as autogefuhl, the Allspace is to be made in Mexico- Puebla, for export to some euro markets.

                        according to rvcs, the proposed VINS registered for each model/engine, indicate the Puebla plant

                        eg: Road Vehicle Descriptor (RVD1)

                        vin guide: VW VIN Codes - Club VeeDub

                        In short, letter M, digit 11 is Puebla.

                        also the US market is different to Europe, and aus/nz. take US drivetrains as a grain of salt for comparison

                        btw I do wish it came from Germany as I'd be more inclined to buy. Mexico doesn't have the high level of quality control Germany does

                          Good work. The typical VIN for the Allspace WVGZZZ5NZ#M123456 as per RVCS site is definitely indicating that these cars will be built in Mexico plant. If it was Wolfsburg it would have a W (which is where the standard Tiguan we get is built).

                            I was watching a review video on the Tiguan (not allspace) from an amateur USA youtuber.

                            He noted and showed the viewers the armrest has no position-adjusting ratchet system. I nearly was considering not buying a Tiguan until I realised the Australian version does. I alway use my armrests, main reason we got a comfortline Polo.

                            Be interesting to know what other differences the USA one has.

                              Dropped in and chatted with the gent I purchased my Tig from during the 1st service and was able to get a bit of info on the Allspace.

                              As others have said it's in either Comfortline or Highline guise, all current Tig engines available the sound and vision pack includes DynAudio

                              R-line can be added to any of the colours, there was 6 from memory including a new white which he demo'd on a Golf R, blue which was called blue silk and grey which was different to the Indium. This is on top of the current black, red and pure white.

                              They're getting training on the models in May or June from memory and may start seeing them in late July, but he wasn't to sure?

                              They're able to take orders for them now.

                              We're actually considering one as I love my Tig and the wife does as well, the 7 seats is perfect for us as it'd be replacing a Pathfinder which is big and cumbersome, we want something more agile and the occasional 7 seat use is a bonus. Plus she's familiar and likes all the tech and the smaller size.

                              The included features are a lot more than my MY17, including the elusive TJA and not sure if the 17.5 has it but Dynamic lights were on the lists I saw, there was also a Rechargable torch in the boot. Foldable mirrors our now on the highline as std

                              The packs composition are vastly different, eg sound and vision is 3D cameras, AID and Dynaudio. The others to add to a Highline are Sunroof and R-line and that's it. So seems to have much more included as std.

                              I asked him where they being made and he was fairly certain Germany but was going to check and get back to me. He was surprised when I asked if it was Mexico.

                              Anyway he's going to feed some more info when he can share it.
