Performance: The Tiguan comes with a 2.0L, 184-hp turbocharged engine with forwarding AWD and 8-speed automatic transmission. Multiple drive modes make your driving experience easy and memorable. The CX-5 offers a slightly higher engine power at 250 hp and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. AWD is common in both.
Technology: Tiguan comes with all the standard Volkswagen tech features like the digital cockpit, Beats Audio system, advanced Drive-Assist features, and more. Remote features let you access your Tiguan from your phone. This feature is also available with CX-5 using the MyMazda app. Bose sound system is standard on the CX-5 with a 10.25-inch display to access the various features.
Design: Spacious and smartly built is what defines the design of the new Tiguan. Sharp features with spacious legroom make every ride memorable and comfortable. With 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space, it is ready for every adventure. Mazda’s unique Kodo design is the idea behind CX-5, which has won hearts as a stylish SUV with great performance. Genuine layered wood trim, Caturra Brown Nappa leather-trimmed seats, premium stitching, and more combine to create opulence and indulge your senses.
Overall, there is not much difference between the 2021 Tiguan and CX-5 when it comes to technology and design while the performance is slightly different as is the cargo space. Visit Karen Radley Volkswagen for a test drive of the Tiguan and your credit pre-approval.
