The stream of bad news just keeps coming. After Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Kia, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia has also announced price hikes for the most important model in its line-up, the 7-seater Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.
The locally assembled (CKD) Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace is now more expensive by between RM 14k to RM 31k, depending on variant. If there’s any consolation, the impact of the increase in prices is soothed by an upgrade in active safety features, now including IQ.DRIVE.

IQ.DRIVE is VW’s suite of advanced driving aids (ADAS). For the Tiguan Allspace, standard features now include Front Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Assist.
Wireless charging for smartphones is also added on all variants.
The new prices, effective today are as follows:
- Tiguan Allspace Life 1.4 TSI: RM 174,590 (+RM 14,000)
- Tiguan Allspace Elegance 1.4 TSI: RM 203,590 (+RM 23,000)
- Tiguaan Allspace R-Line 2.0 TSI: RM 257,073 (+RM 31,000)
Prices quoted are on-the-road without insurance, for private registration in Peninsular Malaysia. It is inclusive of the now-optional VAP extended warranty and free service package.
VAP is short for Volkswagen Assurance Package. It includes 5 years / unlimited mileage extended warranty, 3 years free maintenance, and 5 years roadside assistance.
The optional VAP is valued at between RM 8,000 to RM 10,000, depending on variant. Buyers who choose to opt out can enjoy lower prices, but the standard warranty will be reduced to just 2 years, with 5 years roadside assistance. There is no free maintenance.
Essentially, VAP’s coverage is identical to what VW customers used to enjoy at no extra cost.
Without VAP, prices of the Tiguan Allspace will be reduced to:
- Tiguan Allspace Life 1.4 TSI: RM 166,590
- Tiguan Allspace Elegance 1.4 TSI: RM 195,590
- Tiguaan Allspace R-Line 2.0 TSI: RM 247,073
