2022 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2022 Kia Sportage: The Tiguan is More Advanced
October 26 2021,
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan is the compact SUV that offers the best balance between driving dynamics, space, technologies and versatility in a value-packed vehicle that delivers tremendous amounts of style. For 2022, the Tiguan gets a few exterior changes and equipment.
Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with the 2022 Kia Sportage.
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan offers more space and more style
In the Kia Sportage’s basic, uninspiring interior that uses budget-oriented textures and materials with limited comfort, you will find a maximum cargo space of only 1,703 litres. When it is full of passengers, the cargo space drops to 868 litres. The Tiguan, on the other hand, multiplies the possibilities thanks to a total of 2,081 litres of total cargo space and 1,065 litres when it has five passengers in place.
Larger families will love the Tiguan, because it offers optional third row seating that adds a pair of extra seats for a total of seven passengers. The Kia Sportage only offers seating for five passengers.
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan offers standard AWD and great handling
The 2022 Tiguan is powered by 2.0-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops 184 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. The Kia Sportage’s main engine is a 2.4-litre, naturally aspirated four-cylinder unit with 181 horsepower and only 175 lb-ft of torque. The advantage in torque gives the Tiguan the upper hand in terms of accelerations and overall enjoyment at the wheel. The Sportage has a more powerful engine in a single model, but the price hike is not worth it considering the limited power increase.
Every Tiguan is equipped with VW’s advanced 4MOTION AWD system which offers a selection of precisely calibrated drive modes that will help you conquer the worst road conditions. The Sportage comes standard with FWD and owners have to pay a premium for AWD.
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan also adds a few twists that Sportage will never have, like the Fender audio system, or the R-Line package, which adds signature wheels, a sporty front bumper, body-colour lower panels and unique R-Line touches inside and outside for that distinctive look.
