Pre-Owned Volkswagen Tiguan vs. Pre-Owned Kia Sportage: The Tiguan gives you more
December 19 2022,
The 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, but ever since the current generation was introduced four years ago, the Tiguan has always stood out not just for its unique styling and impressive performance, but also for its refinement and luxury. That’s why the Tiguan stands out so well against a range of models on the pre-owned SUV market including the Sportage.
The 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 even as a used model 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 Volkswagen Tiguan offers standard AWD and great handling
For the last couple of years, the Tiguan has been powered by 2.0-litre, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops 184 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the main engine found in most used Kia Sportage models 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.
Most of the pre-owned Tiguan models you will find on the market are 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 had to pay a premium for AWD. That means that although you will find AWD Sportage models on the market, they will cost the same or close to what you are paying for a used Tiguan.
