AI generated from our expert reviews

Both cars give two six-foot adults plenty of space in the back seats. If you carry a third passenger in the rear, however, the Volkswagen Tiguan keeps them pretty comfortable with its flat bench and comparatively wide centre seat, whereas the Skoda Elroq is not really wide enough for three burly adults beyond short journeys. When dealing with big speed bumps, the Tiguan does not send a crash through the cabin and settles down quickly, while the Elroq leaves you rocking and jiggling about a bit. Out on twisty roads, both models feature light steering that lacks feedback.
