Three things the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan does better than the 2021 Ford Escape

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2021 Ford Escape are two very popular compact sport utility vehicles and if you are in the market for an SUV, chances are that you have had your eye on either the Tiguan or the Escape. Both have a lot to offer, but the Volkswagen Tiguan has the advantage in terms of interior versatility and overall performance.

What we have to understand about these two SUVs is that they have different personalities. The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is essentially what you expect from a sport utility vehicle in terms of its size and driving position, but being designed in Germany it also has impressive handling and overall driving dynamics. The Ford Escape was redesigned recently and it actually got a bit shorter in the sense that it doesn't drive very high off the ground. It kind of feels more like a tall wagon than an actual sport utility vehicle. Here are some other differences between the  2021 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2021 Ford Escape.

It has more space

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is considerably more spacious than the 2021 Ford Escape. It has over 1,000 litres of total cargo space in the back while the Ford Escape has 869 litresl. Even if you lower the rear seats, you get about  200 more litres of cargo space in the Tiguan.

It drives better

As mentioned previously, the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan feels like an SUV, but an SUV with impressive performance and great handling. You have great visibility because you sit fairly high off the ground and even the overall look of the Tiguan is just more rugged. When you are sitting in the Escape, you're going to feel very close to the ground and if you wanted an SUV for its distinctive driving dynamics, you won't feel like you're getting that in the Escape.

It has more power

The major difference between the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2021 Ford Escape is that the Tiguan has a lot more power.  As a matter of fact, the Volkswagen Tiguan has the most powerful base engine in the segment with 184 horsepower and 220 lb of torque. The 2021 Ford Escape actually has a 3 cylinder base engine that only has 180 horsepower and 190 pound feet of torque.
