Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you want a high-up driving position for a commanding view of the road ahead, the Volkswagen Tiguan provides it, whereas you should go elsewhere if you want that from the Cupra Formentor, where the seat can be set pretty low. On a good country road, the Formentor comes into its own, whereas the Tiguan makes sacrifices when it comes to having fun on a twisty road. Inside, a third passenger will be pretty comfortable in the rear of the Tiguan on its flat bench and comparatively wide centre seat, but the Formentor has a narrow, hard centre rear seat you will not want to squeeze an adult onto unless you have to. The Tiguan also gives you a bigger boot. As for similarities, both models feature proper buttons on the steering wheel, and both contend with road noise on the motorway.
