Volkswagen has confirmed it will launch a seven-seat version of the Tiguan next year in Europe, China and North America.

Set to be revealed at next month’s Detroit motor show, the new model sits on a 110mm longer wheelbase bringing increased space as well as increased interior flexibility according to the brand.

In Europe it will be known as the ‘Tiguan Allspace’ while China and North American will just use the ‘Tiguan’ moniker.

No other details have been revealed but engine line-up is likely to replicate the Tiguan range, which includes 115hp and 150hp 2.0-litre TDI models.
