Volkswagen Tiguan vs. Nissan Rogue

The Volkswagen Tiguan can seat as many as seven passengers, while the Rogue seats a maximum of five people. Plus, you’ll find more overall room inside the VW model. That’s because it gives you 124 cubic feet of passenger volume, while the Rogue has a mere 105.4 cubic feet.

However, you’ll find plenty of amenities inside both automobiles. These include available comfort features like heated front seats and a heated steering wheel to keep you toasty warm on particularly chilly days.

Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control is another useful feature available in both SUVs. It lets you and your co-pilot individually adjust the climate controls to your preferred temperatures. If you need to cool down while the front-seat passenger wants to warm up, you can accomplish both and remain comfortable.

For example, the Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with smartphone integration features—Volkswagen Car-Net® and App-Connect. The Nissan Rogue offers a similar feature with NissanConnect®.

With this type of technology, you can listen to audiobooks, make phone calls, and more—all while keeping your focus on the road ahead.

The Volkswagen Tiguan is quite powerful. In fact, its 2.0L 4-cylinder engine delivers 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. These numbers make it great for any driving scenario.

Unfortunately, the Rogue doesn’t deliver quite as much power since its 2.5L 4-cylinder engine produces 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque.

Both models are available with all-wheel drive for when you need extra traction on the road. With 4MOTION® all-wheel drive in the VW Tiguan and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive in the Rogue, power is automatically sent to the wheels that need it the most. This results in the ability to stay in control on even the slickest surfaces.
