[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] Volkswagen Korea announced on the 15th that it has launched the Tiguan Allspace equipped with a diesel engine. Previously, there was only a single gasoline model trim, but now two trims, 2.0 TDI Premium and 2.0 TDI Prestige, have been added.


The Tiguan Allspace is the long-wheelbase model of the Tiguan, which was the first imported SUV to surpass 60,000 cumulative sales in Korea. It can accommodate up to 7 passengers.


The company explained that this model has higher fuel efficiency compared to the previous model. The combined fuel efficiency is 14.6 km/ℓ (urban 13.3 km/ℓ, highway 16.7 km/ℓ), which is more efficient than the previous gasoline model's combined fuel efficiency of 10.1 km/ℓ.



The prices are 48,040,000 KRW for the 2.0 TDI Premium and 50,986,000 KRW for the 2.0 TDI Prestige.

Sasha Askijian, President of Volkswagen Korea, said, “Following last year's 7-seater Tiguan Allspace gasoline model, which received much love from domestic customers for its high product value and quiet driving performance, we are pleased to introduce this year a diesel model for customers who require not only high fuel efficiency but also strong torque.” He added, “We will continue to introduce 'accessible premium' SUV models that reflect customer needs as well as powertrains suited to various customer lifestyles.”
