2022 VW Tiguan / 2022 Hyundai Tucson Comparison

2022 VW Tiguan vs. 2022 Hyundai Tucson
As the most popular Volkswagen model today, the 2022 VW Tiguan is the quality compact SUV that has won mid-Michigan drivers over with its reliable powertrain and extensively equipped interior. Add on the dependability that modern Volkswagen vehicles are known for, and discerning customers will find that they are behind the wheel of a capable functional vehicle that everyone in the family will love riding around in. Competition such as the 2022 Hyundai Tucson attempt to offer a similar ride to the Tiguan. However, the overall class and charisma that has made the Tiguan a standout option in the compact SUV market over the past couple of years is not present in the Tucson.
Performance
With its energetic turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan gets around town or the highway with effortless poise and excitement for the driver. Zipping across the road with 184 horsepower, the response from the pressing of the gas pedal is a satisfying one in the compact SUV field. Coupled with the Tiptronic® eight-speed automatic transmission, the ride is as smooth as it is invigorating. The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is equipped with a larger 2.5L four-cylinder engine. While it offers 187 horsepower, the lack of a turbocharger leaves much to be desired. The Hyundai is equipped with a SHIFTRONIC® eight-speed automatic transmission. Both vehicles have standard FWD and available AWD on select trim levels.
Interior Features
With 124 cubic feet of total passenger space, the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan goes away from the conventional idea of what a compact SUV should feel like. Compared to the 108.2 total cubic feet of passenger space in the Tucson, passengers will immediately notice the extra personal space they have available to them. This makes the Tiguan the premier choice as a quality family hauler in mid-Michigan. Additionally, the Tiguan comes with standard heated functionality in its front seats which is normally an upgrade option in other brands. For example, the Tucson has to be upgraded to get this welcome comfort feature added. Other standard components that the Tiguan comes equipped with as standard implements include an integrated Wi-Fi® hotspot through VW Car-Net® services. The Tucson lacks this convenient and interactive feature.
Safety Features
Driver-assistive technology that comes standard in the 2022 VW Tiguan is not standard in the 2022 Hyundai Tucson. This includes Blind Spot Monitoring which helps drivers safely merge between lanes without worrying about colliding with approaching rear traffic. Similarly, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert provides additional protection and monitoring against such potential accidents. Both vehicles are equipped with standard Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking systems to give the driver plenty of protection when it comes to preventing frontal collisions. Handling capabilities in both compact SUVs are amplified through the combination of Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control for everyday Michigan driving needs.
