Compare the Volkswagen Tiguan vs Volvo EX30
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Volkswagen Tiguan is longer than the Volvo EX30 and has a bigger boot. In both cars, plenty of adjustability in the seat and steering wheel makes finding a good driving position easy, and both provide light steering around town. Comfort also continues onto the motorway in each. Rear passenger space sets them apart. In the Tiguan, two six-footers can easily sit behind similarly sized front passengers with plenty of room for their knees, and a third passenger will be pretty comfortable. By contrast, kneeroom in the back of the EX30 is tight, leaving barely enough space for a six-footer behind another, and knee and shoulder room mean you will not want to carry three passengers there for too long.
