The Volkswagen Tiguan is a sporty compact SUV that combines performance, style and technology in a vehicle that will make heads turn. It is very reliable and its AWD capabilities are superior in the segment. Its interior is very roomy, and it is also available with third-row seating. This year, the Volkswagen Tiguan gets a series of styling and technological enhancements that will please solo drivers, couples and families alike.
Here we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander.
The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan gives you better driving dynamics
Volkswagen has always made performance a priority. That’s why the Tiguan gets the best in terms of powertrain. It is powered by a powerful four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with an output of 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission that is as efficient as it is sporty.
This gearbox distributes the power to VW’s standard 4MOTION AWD that can be calibrated thanks to a complete series of drive modes suited for every type of surface or road condition.
With a smaller naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre unit that only outputs 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is much less about performance in its base variant. This engine is paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is much less engaging than the Tiguan’s 8-speed unit.
The Outlander also has a hybrid version, but it still offers less torque and driveability than the Tiguan.
A more stylish interior in the Tiguan
In terms of tech, the Tiguan is at the forefront of the segment thanks to the top-of-the-line equipment such as the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, Car-Net services to control certain features of your Tiguan remotely, and much more. The Mitsubishi Outlander’s interior is much less advanced. Its infotainment system is years behind, and it doesn’t offer the Tiguan’s stylish options and comfort.
Both vehicles offer third-row seating. However, not only is the Volkswagen Tiguan’s third row more comfortable for passengers, it also leaves more cargo space behind it than the Outlander.
