MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER VS VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

This comparison pits the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander against the Volkswagen Tiguan, highlighting their unique positions as compact SUVs offering optional or standard third-row seating. The Outlander is praised for its significantly improved interior, which won an award for its design and quietness, and its overall cargo capacity. While the Tiguan offers a more engaging, European driving feel with a turbocharged engine providing better torque for city driving, the Outlander provides a smoother, more comfortable ride. The Outlander's continuously variable transmission (CVT) is noted as a potential drawback for some, contrasting with the Tiguan's conventional 8-speed automatic. The Outlander also boasts a higher towing capacity and better fuel economy. The review suggests the upcoming Outlander PHEV could be a strong contender, especially with its larger battery capacity. Ultimately, the Outlander is presented as offering more value, particularly in its standard seven-passenger configuration and superior interior quality, making it a compelling choice for families prioritizing comfort and space.
