G’day guys now we’re up here on the central coast of New South Wales again this time we’re back at Central Coast Volkswagen to pick up the all-new Volkswagen at tiguan allspace now the all space is longer than the standard tiguan and it’s got two extra seats in the back so this is a true Volkswagen 7 seater SUV stay to the end of the video guys and you’ll hear my complete thoughts about this video but for now let’s take this little beauty for a drive okay folks welcome back to throttle down under where we upload weekly motoring news reviews and stories if you’re new to the channel welcome please hit subscribe tap the Bell make sure you stay in touch with all of our latest videos and enjoy this video today all right now sitting down in the cabin of the Volkswagen all space it’s not unlike any other Volkswagen that you’re jumping it’s comfortable you’ve got all of the typical quality Volkswagen features the ergonomics are fantastic everything is exactly where it should be it’s comfortable everything falls to hand perfectly now this one we’re in today is the High Line the Volkswagen Tiguan all space seven seater Highline so the Highline is the upper level of the all spaces that are available comes with leather seats a larger screen for your navigation and your sound systems nine point two inches this also comes with upgrades that include the digital dash display which is a very very cool feature of the Volkswagen Automotive Group I absolutely love it now this is the Volkswagen 7-speed DSG gearbox and we have access on the steering wheel with this model to have the paddle shifters so when it’s in manual selection we can actually select the gears that we want hold the gears and we can pump it a bit harder if we’re overtaking a vehicle or you’re tucking into a corner and you want to drop a gear this does it perfectly now this is also an all wheel drive so your stability and your traction and your steering is exceptional at all times now sitting down underneath the climate control here we’ve also got heated seats which seems to be something that a lot of cars are doing these days my wife loves it drives me crazy but each to their own underneath the climate control is your power outlets there’s a 12-volt power outlet there’s two USB outlet and there’s also an auxilary input as well so fully equipped for the modern day electronics there’s heaps of storage in the car as well the door pockets could fit a large bottle of water in there
with these plenty of space coming through the center console there’s a little sliding hatch here I just slide it back it exposes the spot for two coffee cups as well as a little bit of extra space there’s a small center console just underneath your armrest it’s not massive but you could fit your phone in there sunglasses maybe above here we actually have a drop-down for maybe two sets of sunglasses or telephones up there and a secondary drop-down possibly for the backseat people to be able to store things in the roof as well moving out of the backseat and this is where this car really comes into its own now this is the second row of three rows in this car and I’m five foot ten so I’m not tall but I’m a bit of a solid unit so I can take up a fair bit of space normally but I don’t know if you can see very well on the camera but I’ve got about 10 to 12 centimeters between my knees and the back of the driver seat you know the driver’s seat set up to where I would drive it from so there’s plenty of leg space and knee space in here headspace where I think you’ve got probably about five centimeters I know the camera didn’t pick it up there because of the way the cameras position but I’ve got about five centimeters above my head for head space another cool little feature there is a let’s call it a kid’s technology rack so obviously long drive the kids are got their iPads they’re watching YouTube then watching throttle down under on YouTube and they’re watching it all in comfort it can’t fall over anywhere very very cool feature also in the back row here down on the center console there is another 12 volt power outlet there’s another USB outlet there’s heated and cooling seat controls and rear vents for the climate control so this second row of seating she is super comfortable and very spacious in this car beautiful all right now this where it might get a bit tricky I’m gonna try and get over into the third row of seats now what clearly this car is primarily designed for the family in mind and like most seven seaters the back seats are primarily just for the little kids but I’m a big kid let’s see if I can get in there in fact looking at it now I don’t like my chances but let’s have a go I’m buggered but I’ve squeezed under the third row of the Volkswagen all space tiguan now as I said this is probably a car that will be designed to have little kids in the third row first row perfect second row exceptional for the passengers
third row we’re talking maybe 12 years and under in here I am squeezy squeezy but it’s not completely uncomfortable there are cupholders back here and I’m just touching the roof if I sit up straight but I do feel like a gorilla in a monkey’s enclosure so anyway awesome for versatility for family with small kids not great to fit normal-sized humans in the third row now the SUV market is one of the hottest markets out there especially in Australia these days I want to know what would be the ultimate SUV in your opinion in the comments below drop me a comment let me know your favorite SUV what do you own or what do you want to own let me know in the comment below and and I’d love to hear your opinions about what your favorite SUV look everything is really quite comfortable in the cabin to be completely honest everything falls to hand as I said earlier it’s just everything that you’d expect from Volkswagen it’s a stereotypical modern day comfortable affordable luxury Volkswagen now we’re only in an urban area at the moment 60 kilometer an hour zone and the acceleration is more than adequate for the urban areas I will take it out on a on an open road and give it a bit more of a go remembering this is an all-wheel drive as well this is so we’ve got power running to all four wheels when needed the visibility out of the cabin is exceptional the a-pillars are relatively thin so there’s not much of a blind spot behind the a-pillars and your peripheral vision that takes you around just to your shoulders you can’t even see your b-pillars in your peripheral vision so there’s plenty of park a really good visibility in this car there’s a really good gap of visibility over your right shoulder and look at cars in the blind spot from the mirror and in fact plenty of space there to have a really good look the rear window is large but it’s a long way back now this is a bit longer than this than the traditional tee tiguans so the window is a long way back but the mirror fills the window really quite nicely and visibility is good wing mirrors they’re a nice shape and and certainly allow you to see all the way to the back of the car which is fantastic the cabins are really quiet and comfortable space to be the audio system is exceptional at loud volume as well as at soft volume really nice ambience in within the cabin and the road noise is very low there’s two levels in the Volkswagen Tiguan all space it comes in the comfort line and it
comes in the Highline the comfort line is the entry level it has a 2-liter engine that is 132 kilo watts and 320 Newton meters of torque and the Highline the upgraded version has a slightly bigger 2 liter petrol engine and it comes in at a hundred and sixty two kilowatts and 350 Newton meters of torque now we’re in the Highline today so it means we do have a little bit more power than what the comfort line would offer we also do have the added luxuries that the Highline comes with as well now if you’re interested in this car you’re interested in because you’ve probably got a small family as you saw earlier me squeezing into the third row and it’s not ideal you wouldn’t really ever be putting adults in there about small kids it’s a great little spot for them we have 270 liters of boot space in here with the rear seats folded down and that gives us 700 litres of boot space now if you’re in the market for a 7 seater like this the other cars you’re probably looking at the Kia Sorento the Skoda Kodiaq and the Hyundai Santa Fe and probably even the Peugeot 5008 now I can’t make too many strong comparisons between the others and this because I haven’t I simply haven’t been in them at all but from the point of view of this Volkswagen it really puts a smile on my face now I don’t have a family I don’t have a small family with kids but this is certain to be one of the cars that I would seriously consider buying with a family of three or four kids my final opinions on the tiquan all space well what is there not to like it’s a really good looking SUV it’s got everything you come to expect from Volkswagen from its luxuries from its safety and from us conveniences as well coming down the side of the car I just remember front seats beautiful and comfortable luxurious like is sitting in your couch second row plenty of space plenty of space and heaps of amenities in there as well second row you could easily fit three big humans in there like me third row kids only please don’t expect that you’re going to get adults in that third row comfortably or safely it’s not going to happen it’s purely for kids only in the third row but still very cool to be able to get two extra kids in the back of this now if you’re wanting a 7-seater to move seven adults or even teenagers that are bigger than little kids then look at the Volkswagen people movers they’ve got plenty of options that the tiguan allspace might not be suitable to you if you’re
trying to move seven adults but moving a family with a couple of little kids perfect there’s plenty of space for little kids in the back tiguan allspace big thumbs up from throttle down under and I think it’s an absolute winner it’s a great car thanks for watching another video folks I’ve got a question for you what is your favorite SUV and why in the comments sections below let me know the SUV that you like the most it’s available on the market these days let me know why you love it and drop it in the comments below and let’s start a conversation about the suvs available today and in particular in australia now if you’ve enjoyed today’s video guys give me a thumbs up if you didn’t give me a thumbs down that’s totally cool in the comment section below let me know why you loved it or why you hated it let’s have a conversation and until next time subscribe share like and thanks again we’ll see you on the next video ciao
