2022 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2022 Nissan Rogue: Space and Drivability

The Volkswagen Tiguan has a lot to offer. It delivers a dynamic, sporty drive along with standard AWD which performs better than rivals during Canadian winters. Inside, it offers plenty of comfort with third-row seating, unparalleled technologies and commodities and safety features you can count on.

This year, the Volkswagen Tiguan is better than ever with more style, standard equipment and technologies that outrank its rivals.

Here we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with the 2022 Nissan Rogue.

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan delivers enhanced drivability

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan is powered by a tested-and-true four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with an output of 184 horsepower and a whopping 221 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. Every 2022 Tiguan features Volkswagen’s renowned 4MOTION AWD system as standard equipment. This system delivers superior traction and adaptability thanks to a complete series of drive modes suited for every type of road condition.

The Nissan Rogue’s main engine is a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre unit that only outputs 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is much less engaging than the Tiguan’s 8-speed unit. The Rogue offers FWD as standard and AWD as an option, which is an unfortunate disadvantage in Canada.

The Rogue also has a 1.5 L turbo as an option. It makes marginally more power than the Tiguan, but is much more expensive and its reliability has yet to be proven.

The Tiguan gets better tech and more space for passengers

Inside, the Tiguan is much more comfortable and roomy than the Rogue. The Tiguan also has a piece of equipment that growing families will love: a third row of seats. This allows Tiguan owners to comfortably sit seven passengers, which is great for families who need the space but don’t want to upgrade to a more expensive midsize SUV.

While the Nissan Rogue’s interior uses basic materials and finish, the Tiguan has been designed by the best. Plus, it is more advanced in terms of tech. Owners benefit from features like the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, Car-Net services to control certain features of your Tiguan remotely, and much more.

The 2022 Tiguan much more competent and fun to drive than the Nissan Rogue. Come see it today! You can also shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
