Compare the Hyundai Tucson vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Hyundai Tucson and Volkswagen Tiguan place you in a high seating position for a good view of the road, and both provide light steering to help you pull off tight manoeuvres in town. Neither SUV offers much in the way of fun when you head down a twisty country road, however. How they cope with rough surfaces sets them apart: the Tiguan cossets you on bad roads, whereas the Tucson's suspension does not do a great job of absorbing bumps. Securing child seats highlights another difference, as fitting them into the Tiguan is easy-peasy, while the Tucson leaves you prodding and hoping because its mounting points are stuffed between the cushions.
