What Makes the Volkswagen Tiguan Stand Out from the Nissan Rogue?

The Volkswagen Tiguan and Nissan Rogue are two incredibly popular SUVs that people just can't seem to get enough of. Both vehicles offer excellent fuel economy, plenty of cargo space, and a range of advanced safety features. But how do they compare when it comes to performance, comfort, and value? Let’s take a closer look at these two vehicles to find out.


Performance & Comfort

The Volkswagen Tiguan is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth shifts and responsive acceleration. The Nissan Rogue has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, which only produces 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The Rogue is equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that provides decent power delivery but can be noisy under hard acceleration.


When it comes to ride comfort, the Tiguan offers both a smoother and more rewarding ride than the Rogue thanks to its superior suspension tuning and driving dynamics. Additionally, the Tiguan’s interior is more luxuriously appointed than that of the Rogue, offering soft-touch materials throughout as well as heated front seats for added comfort in cold weather climates.


Value & Features

The Volkswagen Tiguan offers more features than the Nissan Rogue, such as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, three-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry with push button start, Car-Net app, power adjustable driver's seat with memory settings, adaptive cruise control, panoramic sunroof, an 8” Touchscreen with Navigation, a premium audio system and, of course, standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive. In comparison, some of these features are not available on any trim level of the Nissan Rogue.


When it comes to value for money, both vehicles offer similar levels of standard equipment at similar price points; however, if you want more luxury amenities or added safety features, then you will likely want to opt for the higher trim levels of the Volkswagen Tiguan which offer more bang for your buck than comparable trim levels in the Nissan Rogue lineup. Furthermore, only the Tiguan offers a third-row seating option, adding even more value to the vehicle.


When choosing between these two SUVs, it really comes down to personal preference and budget; however, if you are looking for an SUV that offers great performance combined with luxurious amenities, then you may want to consider opting for one of the many trims in the Volkswagen Tiguan lineup as it offers more features at an attractive price point compared to competing SUVs such as the Nissan Rogue.
