AI generated from our expert reviews

Around town, both the BYD Atto 2 and the Volkswagen Tiguan seat you high with good visibility, and both have light steering. The Atto 2 dispatches potholes with ease, whereas the Tiguan has a slightly firm edge that makes sharper edges such as potholes more noticeable. Both cars allow you to fold the rear seats completely flat, but the longer Tiguan provides a bigger boot than the Atto 2.
