2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Overview

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan vs 2022 Subaru Ascent comparison is an interesting one because these vehicles have many similarities but just as many differences and perhaps more. Consider that Tiguan is a compact crossover that is large for its class and offers a third row whereas the Ascent is a midsize crossover that is small for its class and features a third row. The 2022 Tiguan, which is now available at Ancira Volkswagen of San Antonio, also brings with it some exciting updates. These include a refresh of the exterior design, more standard and optional technologies and expanded availability of the driver-assistance features. The Ascent arrives with some notable updates as well. Subaru has dropped the Sport package for the Premium trim level and has introduced a new blacked-out Onyx Edition.

The Tiguan gives you a rather big choice when it comes to seating. In its standard configuration, this is a typical five-passenger crossover, but you can opt for a third row that increases that capacity to seven. It is worth noting that this is a permanent choice since the third row is not practical to remove as needed. The 2022 Subaru Ascent comes standard with three rows. In its default arrangement, it seats eight, but you can opt for bucket seats in the second row that reduce that capacity to seven. Although the Ascent is a larger vehicle, the headroom and legroom differences are not significant. In fact, the Tiguan actually affords a tad more second-row legroom, and the third row is deceptively roomy. The Ascent has more than 17 cubic feet of dedicated storage area. The three-row Tiguan provides 12 cubic feet, and the two-row Tiguan offers almost double the space of the Ascent at 33 cubic feet.
