What’s new?
Volkswagen has given the Tiguan Allspace something of a mid-life make-over. There are styling tweaks so subtle you’ll need to have the old and new models parked side by side to spot them, along with uprated driver assistance systems.
These include Travel Assist, which allows the car to brake, accelerate and steer for itself, under the driver’s supervision. The VW also comes with IQ.LIGHT headlights, which provide multiple modes (not just dipped and high-beam) to suit a range of different driving conditions.
As before, the VW is available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, and in both two-and four-wheel-drive guises. It’s the 2.0 TDI 150 4Motion Elegance DSG that we’re testing here, with an on-the-road price of £41,995.
