The VW Tiguan vs. the Subaru Forester

The VW Tiguan and Subaru Forester have long been direct competitors in the crossover segment. And while the Subaru Forester does have a slight advantage with its standard all-wheel drive, it lags behind in a number of key categories of comparison, making the new Volkswagen Tiguan a better value proposition overall for Long Island drivers.

Luggage Space

Pop the rear hatch of the new Subaru Forester and you'll see that space behind the second row is somewhat cramped, making room for just 28.9 cubic-feet of cargo. Now, that'll be plenty of space for some, but why settle for less when you could opt for the new VW Tiguan with up to 37.6 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its second row, perfect for everything from full-size suitcases to beach gear and picnic supplies on your next family trip to the shore.

Superior Performance

While the new Subaru Forester is known for its capability off-road, it leaves a lot to be desired on the performance front. With just 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, the new Subaru Forester can feel sluggish when it comes to acceleration. By comparison, the 187 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque put out by the turbocharged engine of the new VW Tiguan give it a confident presence and direct acceleration on the open road.

Exceptional Standard Features

While a lot of critics may contend that the new Subaru Forester is a cost-effective car, it doesn't really give you much bang for your buck at the entry level trim. In fact, it's cabin amenities basically amount to automatic climate control, a four-speaker sound system, satellite radio, and a cramped 6.5-inch infotainment display. By comparison, the entry level trim to the VW Tiguan nets you an 8-inch digital instrumentation display, heated side mirrors, a six-speaker sound system, rear seat air vents, and a host of other amenities that you'd have to pay extra for on the new Subaru Forester.

The VW Tiguan vs. the Hyundai Tucson

Much like the Subaru Forester, the new Hyundai Tucson is lacking in many regards. Plus, the new Volkswagen Tiguan boasts versatility and capability that you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in the crossover segment.

Interior Versatility

Perhaps the best thing about choosing a new VW Tiguan is the fact that you can opt for two or three-row configurations, expanding its seating capacity up to seven for growing families in the greater Huntington, NY area. With the new Hyundai Tucson, a two-row crossover with room for five is all you'll get.

Superior Standard Safety Tech

Both the VW Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson boast a robust list of standard safety features. But while the new both offer standard forward collision mitigation, only the VW Tiguan comes standard with blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic warning.

Innovative Connectivity Features

Standard support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes it easy to stay connected on the go with both the VW Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson. However, with its available Car-Net Connected Services suite, you can even have onboard Wi-Fi in the new VW Tiguan, which you won't find as a standard amenity on the Hyundai Tucson.
