See what we mean? The new 2023 Mazda CX-5 may have a few desirable features, but it can’t hold its own against the new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan. To start, the Mazda CX-5 can only seat five total passengers because it doesn’t offer a third row. While there is a five-seater version of the Volkswagen Tiguan, you can also equip this model with a third row if you choose, bringing its overall capacity to seven passengers. When it comes to cargo room, even the five-seater Volkswagen Tiguan offers far more capacity than the Mazda CX-5 (14.1 additional cubic feet of cargo volume, to be exact).1,2 That’s a couple of extra suitcases, grocery bags, camping necessities or home improvement supplies. But we could go on forever about the spaciousness of the Volkswagen Tiguan. Both SUVs offer an available power liftgate, but only the Volkswagen Tiguan has standard roof rails, LED Daytime Running Lights and heated front seats on its base model. These features will cost you extra if you choose the Mazda CX-5. And speaking of the base model of the Mazda CX-5, you may have to squint to see vital vehicle information on the 4.6-inch Multi-Information Display. Meanwhile, drivers of the Volkswagen Tiguan will enjoy the 8-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit as they take on the open road.
