2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace Adventure price and specs

The facelifted 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace range will be available with a new Adventure special edition, designed to balance on-road dynamics and rough-road capability.

Due in August from $51,990 plus on-road costs, the Tiguan Allspace Adventure gains a number of features aimed at camping or light off-roading – led by the deletion of the third row, increasing boot space to 760 litres (up 60L), the highest of any Tiguan ever offered.

Volkswagen Australia has added an upgraded battery and 180-amp alternator to accomodate "the use of camping accessories for a longer period of time" – both seemingly borrowed from versions of the Tiguan sold to police and ambulance services in Australia and Europe.

The Adventure swaps the 18 to 20-inch wheels of standard grades for 17-inch alloys, and also gains heated front seats, an underbody guard, tinted windows, "progressive" steering and a sports suspension tune.

Powering the Adventure model is the Tiguan Allspace's flagship 162kW/350Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

The Adventure is the cheapest ticket into a 162TSI Tiguan, and is $5000 cheaper than an Allspace 162TSI Elegance – albeit the expense of fewer standard features, including a larger 9.2-inch touchscreen, matrix LED headlights, ventilated seats or adaptive suspension.

Tiguan Allspace Adventure buyers can choose from one of three accessory packages at no additional cost, which add features such as snow chains, all-weather floor mats, sun blinds or boot liners.

These packs are detailed at the bottom of this story, along with a full standard feature list. Metallic paint is the only optional extra, costing $900.

"With the largest boot volume ever offered on a Tiguan, among the most power in the segment plus tough underbody changes, the Allspace Adventure caters to on and off road thrill seekers," said Brand Director of Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles, Michal Szaniecki.

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace Adventure is due in showrooms in August, following the standard Tiguan Allspace range that's due in June (a delay from its initially-planned May arrival).
