Compare the Volkswagen Tiguan vs Audi Q3
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi Q3 offer quiet motorway cruising, though on either car the largest alloy wheels can spoil the ride over bumps and potholes. Finding a comfortable driving position is easy in both models thanks to generous adjustment for the front seats and steering wheel. Each comes with a rear bench that slides and reclines, as well as wide-opening rear doors that make installing child seats straightforward. When carrying three across the back, however, the two diverge. The Tiguan accommodates a third rear passenger comfortably thanks to its wide centre seat and flat bench. By contrast, the Q3 is best suited to carrying two people in the rear because of its hard middle base and large floor hump.
