Volkswagen has showcased its SUV, the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace bridges the gap between compact Tiguan and the premium class Touareg. The 5+2 seater SUV gets LED DRL and tail lights. The front fascia is available in on-road and off-road guise. The latter can be availed optionally via the “off-road package”, which includes bumper and underbody protection and improves the vehicle’s approach angle by 7 degrees. The SUV is 4,701 mm long, 1,839 mm wide without mirrors, and 1,674 mm high. The vehicle offers 215 mm additional exterior length than the Tiguan. At 2,787 mm, the wheelbase is 109 mm longer as well.
