2021 VW Tiguan Allspace R-Line gets tech updates; some amazing deals also on offer

KUALA LUMPUR: As a seven-seater version of the standard Tiguan, the VW Tiguan Allspace touched the Malaysian shores in August 2020 for the first time. The SUV is on offer in two variants - base Highline and top-spec R-Line, priced at RM 165,000 and RM 209,575, respectively. Well, it now gets some updates for the 2021 model year as part of Volkswagen’s continuous efforts to enhance the ownership experience of its customers. So what’s new?

The 2021 VW Tiguan Allspace received subtle technological updates, including 

• USB-C data and charging ports
• A new radio update
• Wireless App-Connect for Apple CarPlay connectivity

But, one important thing to be noted here is that these updates are limited to the range-topping Allspace R-Line only.

Other than these, all the variant-specific features continue to be the same. These include R-Line styling elements, LED lighting all around, powered taillight, reverse camera, 12.3-inch digital instrument display, eight speakers, triple-zone climate control, keyless entry, 12-way power-adjustable front seats with memory, leather upholstery, and push-button start.

Powering the Tiguan Allspace R-Line is the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine that generates a maximum output of 220 PS and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The engine is mated to a 7-speed DSG wet dual-clutch gearbox and 4Motion AWD. 

Besides, updating the Tiguan Allspace R-Line, VPCM has also come up with a new aftersales Raya campaign for its customers. The deal offers a 20% off on Volkswagen genuine engine oil to those customers who send their cars for service from now till June 13.
