The Volkswagen Tiguan Takes Home the GoldAgainst Mazda Competition in Williamsport
The right SUV for one person isn't always the right model for the next driver that walks through our doors, but the Volkswagen Tiguan checks all the right boxes for pretty much everyone looking for a new vehicle. Whether it's the turbocharged capability, the stylish exterior, or the well-equipped and cozy interior, there's something everyone can love. But how does it match up against popular competitors?
At Ciocca Volkswagen of Williamsport, we're happy to demonstrate why we would choose the new Volkswagen Tiguan over options like the Mazda CX-5 or Mazda CX-50. However, we don't want you to just take our word for it. Consider how they compare with our breakdown below, and let us know when you're ready to schedule a test drive.
Volkswagen Tiguan vs. Mazda CX-5
Looking under the hood of both models reveals similar engines but different performances. The Volkswagen Tiguan comes with a 2.0-liter TSI® turbocharged powertrain, delivering 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque - plenty of muscle to get you through your day. The Mazda CX-5's SKYACTIV®-G four-cylinder isn't turbocharged, and while it does provide slightly more horsepower than the Tiguan, the torque output pales in comparison at 185 pound-feet.
Seating space is at a premium with some lineups, where five seats is the standard. The Mazda CX-5 allows you to accommodate your significant other, friends, family, pets, or some extra cargo space if you need room for a weekend getaway. However, that's all you'll get - no more than five. The Volkswagen Tiguan won't have the same limitations, thanks to an optional third row that provides space for up to seven passengers. You'll bring the extended family along wherever you go!
Staying connected while tooling around Williamsport is easily achieved inside the Volkswagen Tiguan and Mazda CX-5. Both feature standard connected infotainment systems with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, keyless access with push-button start technology, and diverse driver assistance suites. However, the Volkswagen Tiguan uses the IQ.Drive system to safely guide drivers through tricky traffic situations with innovations like Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Blind Spot Monitor, and more. You'll also enjoy the option to connect multiple devices at once to the standard Wi-Fi hotspot. The Mazda CX-5 doesn't offer nearly as many features as standard.
Volkswagen Tiguan vs. Mazda CX-50
The Mazda CX-50 might have a few key differences from the CX-5, but the two SUVs do share something - the same standard powertrain under their hood. With 187 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque, you'll enjoy enough power to get you through the day. However, its engine capability doesn't quite match the Volkswagen Tiguan's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The Volkswagen SUV enjoys 184 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, getting you better acceleration from the get-go.
Whether heading out for an adventure with the family or going alone, you'll want plenty of storage space on top of your seating arrangements. The Mazda CX-50 seats five passengers in its snug interior, while the more spacious Volkswagen Tiguan can suit up to seven friends or family. If you prefer to maximize your cargo area, the Tiguan expands to 73.4 cubic feet of storage. The Mazda CX-50 will limit you to 56.3 cubic feet.
Whether it's the innovative Volkswagen Digital Cockpit display providing high-resolution vehicle information or the handy IQ.DRIVE system delivers peace of mind for your morning drive, many features come standard on your new Volkswagen Tiguan. The Mazda CX-50 has its own standard accompanying technologies, but you won't find the same standard options - paying more might be the only solution to unlock them.
