Trunk comparison: VW Tiguan vs VW Tiguan Allspace

Key Differences

The VW Tiguan Allspace offers a 9.4 in (27%) longer trunk with the front seats upright than the VW Tiguan. Conversely, the VW Tiguan has a 16.1 in (87%) larger trunk with all seats fully upright compared to the Allspace.

Additionally: When all seats are folded down, the Allspace is 7.1 in (10%) longer than the Tiguan. All other dimensional differences (trunk opening height +0.8 in, trunk depth +0.4 in, loading edge +1.2 in, narrowest width +0.4 in, opening width +2 in) are minor and each well below 10%.

Implications for Usability

For transporting long items with the front row occupied, the Allspace is advantageous due to its significantly greater cargo length; it is better suited if you want to carry longer loads behind the front seats.

However, if all seats are used upright (e.g., full occupancy), the Tiguan offers considerably more trunk space — making it more practical when passengers and luggage need to be accommodated simultaneously.

With all seats folded down, the Allspace has a slight length advantage (10%), which favors loading large items, but this difference is less pronounced than the two situations highlighted above.

The smaller differences in opening height, loading edge height, and width have little impact on daily usability: a 1.2 in higher loading edge in the Allspace can slightly complicate lifting heavy items, while the slightly larger opening width of the Allspace (+2 in) makes loading wider cargo easier.
