You may be wondering why we placed the starting MSRP of both vehicles side by side since they’re nearly identical — but wait, they aren’t. Sure, both starting MSRPs are about $50 off,1,2 but once you see how much more the base model of the new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan offers than the base model of the new 2023 Hyundai Tucson, you’ll understand better. First, only the Volkswagen Tiguan offers a turbocharged engine and heated washer nozzles. A similar engine doesn’t exist in the Hyundai Tucson, and heated washer nozzles aren’t listed anywhere on its specs list. Other standard features on the Volkswagen Tiguan — like roof rails and heated front seats — are only found on higher, more expensive trims of the Hyundai Tucson. And have you noticed the standard gauge cluster size difference yet? The Volkswagen Tiguan offers a standard eight-inch non-configurable digital instrument display while the Hyundai Tucson has a standard (and very tiny) 4.2-inch gauge. Yikes.
Plus, to top it all off, the Volkswagen Tiguan is the only one of the pair that has a third row, boosting its maximum seating to seven passengers total. Leave no friend behind in your new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan — come and see us for your test-drive today.
