Volkswagen updated the Tiguan last fall, but only the smaller, European version. Now, the larger Allspace (the only version sold in the U.S.) is getting the same treatment.
A full 22 cm (8.6 inches) longer than the standard crossover, the Tiguan Allspace offers up to three rows of seats and 1,920 liters (68 cubic feet) of cargo space.
Volkswagen says the update will mean new control and assist systems, a wide range of online services, and improved infotainment software. Although it’s still hiding what the vehicle will look like, the automaker has admitted that the update will bring pretty much the same updates as it did with the short wheelbase Tiguan (below).

Facelifted version of the standard wheelbase VW Tiguan that’s not sold in the USA
As the teaser shows, the taillights have been updated. The facelift also brought new headlights with an LED light signature that look more like the Mk8 Golf’s. Restyled bumpers fore and aft joined a centrally located Tiguan badge and a new 4Motion badge also helped differentiate the new Tiguan from the old.
Inside, the updated short-wheelbase Tiguan got modest updates, too. A new steering wheel with touch-sensitive buttons came with new touch-sensitive buttons along the side of the infotainment screen. New natural voice controls, multi-phone pairings, and wireless app connect helped you connect to the car, while an 8- or 10.25-inch instrument cluster provided information.
The long-wheelbase Allspace will share the same dashboard as the standard facelifted Tiguan seen above
The Allspace is the more popular version of the Tiguan and is the only one sold in the U.S. The versions of the crossover sold in North and South America, as well as in Europe will be built in Puebla, Mexico. China’s Tiguan L will be built in Shanghai.
Volkswagen will unveil the new Tiguan Allspace on May 12 and pre-sales are set to begin in the coming weeks.
