As a new VW dealer serving Austin, TX, we pride ourselves on understanding the ins and outs of all our latest VW vehicles. And of all the new Volkswagen SUVs in our portfolio, the new 2023 VW Tiguan is perhaps the most popular among them, and that attracts a lot of attention from rivals. In particular, the new 2023 VW Tiguan has always been compared closely with models like the new 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Both these midsize crossovers are formidable in their own right, but the new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan has a definite edge if you look closely. Take a look at our competitive comparison to learn more about how the new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan excels.
Engine
From an engine standpoint, there's little difference between our new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson. Both offer a little over 180 standard horsepower, which is more than enough for most day-to-day commuting around the greater Austin, TX area.
Performance
While the new Hyundai Tucson might have a little bit more standard horsepower, it lags behind the new VW Tiguan on overall ride quality. Thanks to its longer wheelbase and finely tuned suspension system, the new Volkswagen Tiguan is much more comfortable on rough roads when compared to its rival. Of course, both models can be had with available all-wheel drive to tackle travel in inclement weather with confidence.
Interior
One major advantage to choosing the new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan over the new 2023 Hyundai Tucson is the fact the passenger capacity that both models offer. Both come standard with five passenger capacity with two rows of seating. However, if you're in need of more space for your growing family, the new 2023 VW Tiguan offers an available third row that boosts its seating capacity to seven.
Technology
From a tech standpoint, the new Volkswagen Tiguan brings much more to the table than its Hyundai rival. Both models come standard with support for apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but only the new Volkswagen Tiguan can be had with standard Wi-Fi access on the go via the available VW Car-Net® app. On top of that, if you're going on a road trip with family, you'll note that the cabin of the 2023 VW Tiguan has more USB ports that that of the new Hyundai Tucson, making it easy to keep your devices charged on the go.
Safety
Both the new 2023 VW Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson are relatively well-equipped on the safety front. Both come standard with safety technology suites that include forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, and much more.
