Volkswagen Australia has announced specifications for the long-awaited seven-seat 2018 Tiguan Allspace.
Set to go on sale in July the Tiguan Allspace is now bigger and better and is distinguished from its Tiguan counterparts by a wider rear door, raised bonnet above the radiator grille and a unique side window design rising above the C-pillar.

There's also a 110kW/340Nm turbo diesel paired with a seven-speed DSG and 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
Available with the Highline models are two sportier engines, the 162kW/350Nm turbocharged petrol and the 140kW/400Nm turbo diesel, both paired with a seven-speed DSG and 4MOTION AWD.
