Volkswagen discontinues Tiguan AllSpace 7-seater SUV in India
What's the story
German automaker Volkswagen has discontinued its Tiguan AllSpace SUV in India. To recall, it was introduced here last year.
As for the highlights, the car has a simple look and a spacious 7-seater cabin with several features. It draws power from a BS6-compliant 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine linked to a 7-speed DCT gearbox for handling transmission duties.
Here are more details.
Context
Why does it matter?
The Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace was brought to India as a completely built unit (CBU). It will be replaced with the 5-seater Tiguan (facelift) on December 7. Unlike AllSpace, it will be a locally assembled model.
Meanwhile, the facelifted AllSpace has debuted in Europe. If the car arrives here, it will take on rivals like SKODA KODIAQ and Toyota Fortuner.
Exteriors
The car flaunts a chrome-finished grille and 18-inch wheels
The Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace has a muscular bonnet, a chromed grille with slats, a wide air vent, and LED headlights with DRLs.
On the sides, it is flanked by roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, ORVMs, and 18-inch designer alloy wheels.
A shark-fin antenna, a window wiper, a raked windscreen, and wraparound LED taillights are available on the rear end of the vehicle.
Information
It runs on a 187hp, 2.0-liter engine
The Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace is fueled by a BS6-compliant 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that generates a maximum power of 187.4hp. The motor is mated to a 7-speed DCT gearbox for handling transmission duties.
Interiors
The SUV has a flat-bottom steering wheel and seven airbags
The Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace has a spacious 7-seater cabin, featuring a panoramic sunroof, a dual-tone dashboard, a powered driver's seat, and a flat-bottom multifunctional steering wheel with cruise control.
It houses a digital driver's display and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment console with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Seven airbags, ABS, a parking camera, EBD, and electronic stability control ensure the passengers' safety.
