2024 Volkswagen Tiguan vs 2024 Hyundai Tucson
The Tiguan is Volkswagen's most popular model and it's not hard to see why. It's a compact crossover with an abundance of space, an available third row and an extensive list of appealing features. It's enjoyable to drive with accurate steering and a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The Hyundai Tucson is another compact SUV that might also be on your shopping list. Here's a comparison of the new VW Tiguan and the Hyundai Tucson to illustrate why you'll be better off with a new VW Tiguan from Hoy Volkswagen of El Paso in El Paso, TX.
A comparison of engines and performance
The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan runs with a 184-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 221 pound-feet of torque, compared with the Tucson that gives you only 178 pound-feet of torque. The Tiguan has slightly less horsepower but it can reach 60 mph more quickly than the Tucson. That helps you feel safer when you need to pass a slower-moving vehicle on Alamogordo, NM highways. Both vehicles are available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive so you can get the level of traction and control you feel most comfortable with.
While both vehicles offer an all-wheel drive option, the Tiguan provides much more variety when it comes to drive modes. Your options in the new Tiguan would include settings like Snow, On-Road, Off-Road, and Off-Road Custom.

| Fuel Capacity | 15.9 gal. | 14.3 gal. |
| Driving Range (city/hwy) | 350 / 461 miles | 329 / 400 miles |
A comparison of interiors
The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is available with three rows of seating and that's an option that's not available in the Tucson or almost any other compact crossover. Having those extra seats makes the Tiguan a more versatile transportation option, allowing you room for up to seven passengers instead of only five in the Tucson. In addition, the Tiguan comes with standard heated front seats while the 2024 Tucson requires you to pay extra to get the same feature.
As you'd expect, both vehicles provide more upscale features as you move up higher in trim levels. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel and ventilated seats can help keep you comfortable as you drive your new Tiguan around Mountain Park NM. A leatherette-wrapped steering wheel comes standard along with heated front seats in the Tiguan, but those are only available in higher trim levels with the Tucson. That means you'd have to come up with more money to access these more desirable amenities in the Hyundai Tucson.
A comparison of safety features
Both the new VW Tiguan and the Hyundai Tucson have a number of reassuring standard safety features. For example, the new 2024 Tiguan includes Travel Assist, a semi-automated hands-on driving assist system that's not available in the 2024 Hyundai Tucson. Travel Assist is a feature that helps reduce driver fatigue and helps increase your confidence levels as you drive around Fabens, TX.
Another safety advantage in the Tiguan is the standard Automatic Post-Collision Braking System that can stop your vehicle from moving dangerously ahead in the event of a collision. This safety feature simply isn't available in the Tucson. What's more, the Tiguan's standard IQ.DRIVE system includes Emergency Assist and Active Blind-Spot Monitoring, two comforting safety features that you'd have to pay extra for in the Hyundai Tucson.
A comparison of technology
Both SUVs come with a standard six-speaker stereo system but the new VW Tiguan offers more in its upgraded audio than the 2024 Hyundai Tucson. If you want a more concert-style experience, you'll appreciate the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan. Both SUVs come with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration so they give you easy access to your favorite apps and entertainment options.
