VW’s stretch Tiguan

Volkswagen will launch an extended-wheelbase version of the Tiguan called the Allspace later this year.

Set to compete with the Nissan X-Trail and the forthcoming Skoda Kodiaq, the newcomer is expected to come as standard with five seats, although a two-seat third row will be an optional extra.

The Allspace, which was announced at the Detroit motor show, will use the same MQB platform as the standard Tiguan, albeit stretched to offer greater capacity.
