Compare the Hyundai Kona vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
In both the Hyundai Kona and the Volkswagen Tiguan, you sit high for a commanding driving position, and forward visibility is pretty good. On twisty roads, both have light steering that knocks your confidence by not giving much feedback on how much grip your tyres have. When loading cargo, neither car has a lip to slide items over, but the Tiguan has a bigger boot and can tow more than the Kona. You can also fold the rear seats down from the boot in the Tiguan, whereas in the Kona you have to reach into the cabin because there is no release lever in the boot. Storage inside is practical in both, but the Tiguan features felt-lined door bins to stop items rattling around on the move, while the Kona misses out on felt lining.
