Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace 132TSI Life is one of the most popular 7 seat SUVs out there. Now with an additional $2,000 factory bonus on MY23 stock bringing the price down to $49,990 drive away (MY24 stock is $51,990).
This is the 4th price reduction this year on this model which was just over $56k at the start of the year. You can find all the price reductions for each state here
Not sure why you got downvoted. I had an old model. All you said resonate with my experience. If the size hasn’t changed, I too believe it’s too small to be a 7 seater. My old model had so many issues such as burning engine oil (need to top up 1L every 2 months)and broken spark coils (costly to replace almost $2k to replace). Very expensive to maintain when out of warranty.
Have 2 Tiguans in the family (2018 model and a 2020 model). Both have been great with no issues at all. I do agree that it's not a 7 seater, though.
5 seater tiguans are made in Germany
7 seater tiguans are made in Mexico
Different countries of manufacture
German or Mexican or Chinese made, doesn't make that much difference these modern day. Back in the day Yes. People just have that mindset.
@kml22: Hard disagree.
Mind you, the reason is not the country itself.
Flagship models have additional focus and attention - and are usually kept close to HQ. As such, expect that overall German built VW vehicles are considered more important, and thus should have better build quality.
Edit: My experience from automotive industry employment
@kml22: They actually do. Just look at Tesla for Eg. People in U.S complain about poor build (uneven panel gaps, panels straight up falling off).
Tesla's in U.S are made in Mexico, other regions in China. China's giga factory has been in operation longer and makes better built cars.
@krisspy: Everything said by Krisspy is wrong or wildly exaggerated.
The US Teslas do not have poor quality, they are just not as brilliant and perfect visually as the China vehicles but even that has been reduced.
The first and oldest Tesla factory is in California not China.
No Teslas are made in Mexico, that Mexico factory has not even been built yet. When it is built it will be the most highly automated automotive factory in the world.
$2k off for a 1 year old model isn’t really a deal. This is standard, if not for a higher discount.
$2k will be about the difference compared to a 2024 model when you trade in.

It's a decent price, but not great value in the current climate of EV's and hybrids.
The Allspace Adventure special editions were better for trying to get people to buy combustion engines. Stick in the 162TSi engine that isn't so special anymore, remove the useless back row and you can fit 2 adult and two kids mountain bikes inside a gigantic boot. No point in competing with true 7 seaters…it's a 5 seater utility max.
One thing about the VW, they are very good to drive compared to the Kia/Hyundai/Mazda, the DSG is good and it's like driving a car.
DSG is a cursed, so many problem once your warranty run out. Google VW DSG and you'll sees. Maybe you got lucky with your.
Who doesn't like a free grenade with their car?
Anyone else a bit surprised how much MY23 stock is around?
Renault and Citroen fair enough, but Nissan and especially VW seems surprising especially given the so called shortage of stock.
Not surprised at all. Nissan makes sub par car these days. VW was never great to begin with.
Just stop oil please
Lol
I had a 2018 allspace, it’s a 5+2 rather than true 7 seater for sure. Had amazing boot space for the road trip etc but was good to have 7 seat option if required. Was worth the extra for the 162kw engine though.
Nice design but a big pain in reliability. Their after sales parts makes the most because of the reliability issues.
Hyundai Sante Fe also has a $2000 factory bonus on 2023 models, probably a better option if you are really looking for 7 seats.
I love my 2020 Allspace, the 3rd-row seats are handy for kids on short trips but definitely not for adults. The boot is massive and perfect when you're not using the third row. I recommend getting the 162kw engine over the 132. The car drives nice and looks good. The common fault for any 2017+ model is the "mechatronics" issue but VW has been fixing those well outside of warranty as goodwill.
If you're looking for a part-time 7-seater like I was, this is one of the best cars in the market.
i agreed. If anyone want a proper 7 seater they should be buying something like a multivan. I absolutely love the tiguan and i cant find a better car for value for that price range with extra 2 seats. 132 isnt really ideal for 5 people as its lack of power but if you are not a petrol head like im then that wont be an issue.
Why anyone would buy a VW after Dieselgate is absolutely insane to me
If anyone seen it in person, the 3rd row, barely fit any toddler, calling it a 7 seaters is a no no. Better off getting a CX9 if you want 7 seaters. VW car are extremely unreliable, steer clear of VW cars, and avoid headaches down the line.
