There are several reasons to want to opt for a compact SUV. While some drivers enjoy their handling capabilities, others will enjoy their great fuel economy. The Volkswagen Tiguan has a lot to offer drivers and their families thanks to great driving dynamics, state-of-the-art technologies and plenty of space.
Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with the 2022 Mazda CX-5.
Better space and safety in the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan
Inside, the Volkswagen Tiguan offers the driver and passengers a home away from home. Although it is classified as a compact SUV, it can sit up to seven passengers thanks to an optional third row. The Mazda CX-5 unfortunately doesn’t have this type of option.
The Volkswagen offers a better standard safety package than the CX-5, as well as more space for cargo. When five passengers are sitting in the cabin, the Tiguan lets them store 1,065 litres of cargo behind the rear seats. When the rear seating is folded, you have up to 2,081 litres at your disposal. The Mazda CX-5 offers fewer possibilities, with only 875 litres when it is full of passengers and 1,687 when the rear seats are folded.
Enjoy true driving dynamics and superior AWD in the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan is powered by a 2.0-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder unit that deploys 184 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. This is much more torque than the CX-5’s base engine. This state-of-the-art powerplant is mated to an 8-speed transmission, which offers more precision than the Mazda CX-5’s old 6-speed unit.
Finally, the Tiguan’s 4MOTION AWD comes standard, and is much more advanced than the CX-5’s i-Activ system, letting drivers take advantage of more driving modes and better performance on Canada’s changing weather conditions.
In the end, the Tiguan is much more fun to drive, thanks to its carefully curated German driving dynamics.
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan also comes with more personalization options, namely with the R-Line package that offers numerous unique elements inside and out to give your compact SUV a touch of style the CX-5 will never be able to offer.
