Currently reading: 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace confirmed for Detroit motor show

We’ve already driven a prototype but the final version of VW’s lengthened SUV will be shown for the first time next month

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace will make its world debut at the Detroit motor show next month, ahead of going on sale in the UK in May 2017.

The more practical Volkswagen Tiguan sits on a wheelbase that’s 11cm longer than the regular car and its body is 22cm longer. It features seven seats and is expected to be offered with the same 2.0 TDI diesel options and a choice of 1.4 and 2.0-litre petrols as the standard car.

The car’s design, which was all but completely revealed when Autocar drove a prototype earlier this month, sticks to the look of the regular car, however, enlarged dimensions of the cabin and the lengthier wheelbase give the Allspace less taught proportions.

Pricing for the Nissan X-Trail rival is yet to be revealed.

All space but not boot

What is it with 7 seaters that don't have space for luggage?

The standard tiguan cannot even fit a full set of golf clubs in a standard trolley bag and an electric trolley, and this looks to have no more boot space. Such a shame as I looked at it to replace my Octavia which could take 3 of us on a week golfing holiday with ALL of th golf gear hidden in the boot.
