Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has updated the Tiguan Allspace with the IQ.Drive suite of driver assistance systems, which is standard on all three available variants: Life, Elegance and R-Line 4Motion.
With the addition of IQ.Drive, the Tiguan Allspace now comes with Front Assist (autonomous emergency braking), Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Assist (blind spot monitoring), Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Assist. The three-row SUV also now comes standard with a wireless phone charger.
Beyond these changes, the rest of the kit list remains unchanged from before. This also applies to the powertrains, with the Life and Elegance continuing to sport a 1.4 litre turbocharged four-cylinder TSI engine producing 150 PS (148 hp or 110 kW) and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Meanwhile, the R-Line 4Motion is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder TSI engine making 220 PS (217 hp or 162 kW) and 350 Nm. This is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission as well as a 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
VPCM also noted in its release that the Tiguan Allspace joins other IQ.Drive-equipped models, namely the Golf GTI and Arteon, in being eligible for the Volkswagen Assurance Package (VAP). This provides owners with a five-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty as well as a three-year, 45,000-km free maintenance package.
Depending on the selected model, VAP is valued from RM8,000 to RM10,000, the company said. Customers who opt out of VAP will receive a two-year, unlimited-mileage warranty instead – five years roadside assistance is provided regardless. In essence, if you choose not to take VAP, you’re trading a longer warranty period and free maintenance for a lower vehicle price.
On that note, the Tiguan Allspace now starts from RM166,590 on-the-road without insurance for the entry-level Life variant. This is followed by the Elegance that retails at RM195,590, while the range-topping R-Line 4Motion is priced at RM247,073.60.
Keep in mind that these figures are without VAP. If you want the extended warranty and free maintenance package, the asking prices of the Life and Elegance go up by RM8,000 to RM174,590 and RM203,590 respectively. As for the R-Line 4Motion, the VAP for the range-topper costs RM10,000, so it’ll be RM257,073.60.

WOW, VW car better than price than blood sucking UMW TOyota
The price of 1.4tsi Lite and 2.0tsi R-Line are okay, the Elegance is absolutely expensive with little upgrade from Lite.
Those who buy R-Line are likely having Benz and BMW at home and needed a sporty SUV. Meanwhile those who wanna enjoy Continental SUV can take the Lite version which only lose out leather seat with electronic adjustable. Honda CRV TCP 2WD is selling RM 165k while CX-5 2.5 High 2WD is RM 161k.
I own a VW till now and 5 years warranty. In 5 years time I faced following issue, 1 water pump replaced, fuel sensor changed (inaccurate reading), door rattling sound solved and centra locking noise (replace driver side controller). Engine and gearbox are good until now (2.0tsi with 6 speed wet clutch DSG).
Eh, these days the 1.4L TSI still problematic case for this car ah? (talking about engine and transmission)
Hello Tiguan! Now you are ready for OpenPilot. I like!
3 rows car/SUV with OpenPilot support is not many. Alphard (recond and blueekk), Odyssey (low EPS motor torque), Palisade (too expensive), CX-9 (expensive), x-trail (?? Not sure got LKAS),
