2020 Volkswagen Tiguan vs 2020 Mazda CX-5

The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV with a roomy interior, responsive performance, premium drive modes and many safety and security features. Together, these add up to a family vehicle you can drive with confidence and with a peace of mind. Trims such as the IQ Drive expand on Canada’s favourite equipment. When compared to other SUVs in its class, the Tiguan establishes itself as a true competitor. Here, we compare it to the Mazda CX-5.

The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan makes an impact with torque

The Tiguan trim line features a turbocharged 2.0 four-cylinder that generates 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque that begins at 1,600 rpm. This torque provides the Tiguan with a great response that helps you navigate traffic with confidence.

The CX-5 offers a 2.5L four-cylinder that produces 186 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. The reduction of torque pulls the Tiguan ahead. The CX-5 offers a more powerful engine, but it’s only available in the premium model at a premium cost.

The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan features unique safety and security

Safety and security are a major focus of the Tiguan, and models like the IQ.Drive feature many advancements. You also won’t find some of this equipment on the CX-5. Features include: Adaptive Cruise Control to adjust follow space; Lane Assist to prevent drifting; Light Assist, which increases visibility in dark conditions; Lane Assist, which combines a blind spot monitoring system and rear traffic alert; and Front Assist with Autonomous Emergency Braking.

Virtually absent on the CX-5, the Tiguan also includes five drive modes that add safety and excitement to any trip. Important in Canada’s winters, Snow Mode adjusts the Tiguan to perform at a lower rpm range so the wheels have less risk of spinning. On-Road, Off-Road, and Off-Road Custom modes help you create the optimum driving settings for your adventure.

The Tiguan also includes other features you won’t find in the CX-5. This includes nearly 400 litres of additional cargo volume behind the front seats. The difference alone is more than the volume of many sedan trunks. With more front head room and rear shoulder room and seating for up to seven passengers, the Tiguan also offers passenger comfort.
