Compare the Toyota Yaris Cross vs Volkswagen Tiguan
AI generated from our expert reviews
The longer Volkswagen Tiguan provides a bigger boot than the Toyota Yaris Cross, though neither car has a boot load lip, so you do not have to hoick items in. You will find plenty of adjustment to suit drivers of all shapes and sizes in both models. In the back, carrying three passengers at once in the Yaris Cross may lead to plenty of rubbed shoulders, whereas a third passenger will be pretty comfortable in the Tiguan. Fitting a child seat into the Yaris Cross is also a bit of a faff because the rear doors do not open very wide, while the Tiguan features wide-opening rear doors that make fitting and removing child seats easy-peasy.
