Compare the Hyundai Santa Fe vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Hyundai Santa Fe is longer than the Volkswagen Tiguan, and unlike the Tiguan, it can have a third row of seats. Up front in both cars, you get loads of adjustment in the steering wheel and seats to suit drivers of all sizes, while the rear seats slide and recline. When tackling twisty roads, neither car proves that enjoyable, as both feature light steering that gives little feedback. If engine choices matter, the Tiguan offers petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid units, whereas Hyundai does not offer a diesel in the Santa Fe.
