As is evident from the comparison table above, the 2022 VW Tiguan is $3,295 more reasonable than the 2022 Kia Sorento. And although the latter has a higher displacement 2.5L engine that produces more power, the Tiguan’s 2.0L TSI® Turbo engine produces significantly higher torque, which makes it a preferable option for off-road driving and driving on snowy roads in New Hampshire during winter.
The Tiguan also comes with a more spacious cabin with 124 cubic feet of passenger space. That’s more than enough space to seat seven adults in comfort during your long weekend drives. Speaking of which, the 2022 VW Tiguan offers better highway gas mileage when compared to its rival with up to an EPA-estimated 30 MPG on the highway with the front-wheel-drive models and up to 28 mpg on models equipped with the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system.
The well-appointed interior of the Tiguan comes loaded with high-tech such as a Fender® Premium Audio System, VW Digital Cockpit Pro, Volkswagen Car-Net®, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™.
Above all, you also get semi-autonomous driver assistance from the Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE with intelligent driver-assist features such as Rear Traffic Alert, Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking, Dynamic Road Sign Display, Blind Spot Monitor (Side Assist), Park Assist, and more.
