Read more2021 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2021 Nissan Rogue: More Technology, More Power
The Volkswagen Tiguan lineup receives a few additions for 2021, keeping it extremely stylish, powerful and affordable while further strengthening its reputation of being an incredible value proposition in the segment. The Tiguan also stands out of the segment thanks to its technologies and option packages that cater to a wide variety of needs.
Here, we compare it to the 2021 Nissan Rogue.
More power and torque in the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan
Power and torque are very important when shopping for a compact SUV. The Nissan Rogue’s four-cylinder, 2.5-litre powerplant puts out 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The Tiguan’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine does more, with 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, the Volkswagen Tiguan not only provides better accelerations thanks to this greater torque rating, it also pairs this superior output with finely calibrated dynamics.
This advantage in terms of dynamics is made possible thanks to the advanced calibration and engineering behind the Tiguan’s chassis, but also because it is paired with a state-of-the-art 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic technology that provides linear accelerations and a sportier driving feel. The Rogue’s continuously variable transmission (CVT) cannot provide this level of excitement.
The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is more versatile
If you’re shopping for a compact SUV, you probably need space for the family, and the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan delivers. With a total available cargo space of 2081 litres when the seats are folded and 1065 litres behind the second row, the Tiguan can bring along anything your family needs.
But it also has something the Nissan Rogue doesn’t offer: an optional third row of passengers. The Tiguan gives you the best of both worlds; you can have comfortable seating for up to seven passengers without having to upgrade to a bigger SUV.
The 2021 Tiguan also sports a modern, European design that aesthetically surpasses the Rogue’s lines and more basic body features. Owners can further enhance this look with the R-Line package. This includes the R-Line exterior design complemented by 19” Trenton alloy wheels, aluminum door sills with “R-Line” logo, brushed stainless steel pedals in aluminum look and the unique R-Line leather-wrapped multifunction heated sport steering wheel. The Nissan Rogue doesn’t offer this level of style.
