Compare the Ford Kuga vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Ford Kuga and the Volkswagen Tiguan provide plenty of adjustment in the driver's seat and steering wheel to help you settle into a comfortable driving position, and both feature rear seats that slide and recline. When tackling large speed bumps, each car manages comfortably without sending a crash through the cabin. Head onto country lanes or twisty roads, however, and the Kuga inspires confidence with minimal body lean and a surprising amount of steering feel, whereas the Tiguan has quite light steering that does not give a lot of feedback, which knocks your confidence. Inside, the Tiguan offers excellent material quality throughout with soft-touch plastics and solid build quality, while the feel of many plastics lower down in the Kuga is disappointing.
