Pre-owned Volkswagen Tiguan vs used Kia Sportage – More space and more power in the Volkswagen used SUV

December 20 2022 Bramgate Volkswagen

The impressive pre-owned Volkswagen Tiguan stands out for multiple reasons including performance and interior space, and of course it has also established its reputation in terms of luxury and refinement as well in the mainstream SUV segment. Moreover, the Tiguan was redesigned a few years ago and now offers one of the most spacious interiors in the segment. This allows it to stand out on the pre-owned market against models like a used Kia Sportage. Here we look at the 2020 VW Tiguan and the 2020 Kia Sportage, although this comparison would also apply to other model years.

More space in a pre-owned VW Tiguan

In terms of space, the Volkswagen Tiguan provides a more welcoming interior overall than the Kia Sportage, although both models are among the more versatile luxury compact SUVs. The Tiguan provides over 1,000 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats which is impressive, but it also gives your passengers impressive headroom and legroom. If you want a pre-owned sport utility vehicle that stands out in terms of the interior space and cargo capacity, the Volkswagen Tiguan has the slight upper hand over the Kia Sportage. Let’s take a closer look.

Interior Space

The Volkswagen Tiguan gives you more space for your passengers as well. This means that both passengers in front and passengers in the back will be a lot more comfortable in the Tiguan. The table below showcases the main differences in interior space between the Volkswagen and the Kia Sportage.

Rear Shoulder Room	1,400 mm	1,420 mm
Rear legroom	970 mm	983 mm
Rear headroom	960 mm	988 mm

The interior space in the Tiguan really stands out, and it is so vast that VW can even fit a third row in the back, which is quite unique in this segment. This is also a testament to how much space there is in the Tiguan.

Cargo Capacity

The pre-owned Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the most spacious compact pre-owned SUVs in its segment and you can see that when you lift the trunk and see the vast cargo area. This cargo area gives you roughly 1,000 L more space than the Kia Sportage.

Performance

The Volkswagen Tiguan gives you an impressive blend of performance, efficiency, and capability. Moreover, used Tiguan models provide the added benefits of turbocharging right out the gate. If you want a quick SUV, the Tiguan gives you the advantage at a stoplight or when passing over the Sportage with its enhanced power, especially on the pre-owned market. As a matter of fact, a pre-owned Volkswagen Tiguan will deliver more performance than just about any SUV in this segment.
