Practicality sets these two apart right away. The Volkswagen Tiguan is longer than the Renault 4 E-Tech, has a bigger boot and can tow more. In the back, the Tiguan provides loads of space, whereas adults will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys in the Renault. Up front, you get lots of adjustment in the steering wheel and seats in both cars to help you find a comfortable driving position. Neither car feels particularly fun on twisty roads, but they differ on usability. The Renault 4 features an infotainment system that is quick to respond to your touch and easy to use, while the Tiguan's setup is not the easiest thing in the world to get used to.
