VW - new control and assist system6 May 2021 08:59
Some interesting words used:
" new advanced technical features, the latter of which includes new control and assist systems,"
"partly automated driving within a speed range from zero to 210 km/h"
"utilising the adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist functions."
Volkswagen has announced that it will introduce the facelifted Tiguan Allspace on May 12, with pre-sales set to begin in the weeks after. The long-wheelbase SUV will receive a refresh just under a year after its standard-wheelbase sibling got its update in July 2020.
According to the German automaker, the Tiguan Allspace will see some changes to the exterior and gain new advanced technical features, the latter of which includes new control and assist systems, as well as a wider range of online-based services and functions thanks to the latest Modular Infotainment Matrix (MIB3) system.
Of course, these updates will mimic those of the regular Tiguan, with the company clearly stating the Tiguan Allspace “received the same treatment” as the standard-wheelbase model. As such, expect a similar front-end that features a larger grille, new LED headlamps with DRLs that are reminiscent of the Golf Mk8, plus a revised tailgate with a redesigned light signature for the taillights.
Inside, expect a similar dashboard as before, save for the addition of touch-based controls on the steering wheel and climate control system. As mentioned earlier, the latest MIB3 system will also be present, likely offered with different screen sizes and joined by the Volkswagen Digital ****pit.
Other new items that made its way into the normal Tiguan include Travel Assist, which allows for partly automated driving within a speed range from zero to 210 km/h, utilising the adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist functions. Engine options should also be similar, although it isn’t known if there will be a performance-focused R variant for European markets.
