Volkswagen SUVs are known for their premium build quality, innovative features, and reliable performance. Two standout options in the lineup are the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Volkswagen Atlas. Both offer unique strengths, but which is the right choice for you? At Colonial Volkswagen, we’re here to help drivers in Feasterville-Trevose, PA, as well as Allentown and Willow Grove, find their perfect SUV.

Let’s break down the key differences between the Tiguan and Atlas to help you make an informed decision.

Size and Space

Volkswagen Tiguan

The Tiguan is a compact SUV with a versatile interior. It offers:

• Seating for up to seven with the optional third row (on front-wheel-drive models).
• Up to 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
• A smaller footprint, making it ideal for city driving and tight parking spaces.

Volkswagen Atlas

The Atlas, as a midsize SUV, is designed for families and those who need extra room. It features:

• Three rows of seating with room for up to seven passengers.
• A spacious 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space when the second and third rows are folded.
• More legroom for second- and third-row passengers, ensuring comfort on long trips.

Performance and Capability

Tiguan

The Tiguan is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivering 184 horsepower and excellent fuel efficiency. It’s perfect for daily commutes and weekend getaways. Available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive provides added confidence on slippery roads.

Atlas

The Atlas offers two engine options:

• A 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with 235 horsepower (with premium fuel).
• A more robust 3.6L V6 engine, producing 276 horsepower, perfect for towing up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

For families needing a bit more power and capability, the Atlas is the better choice.

Shared Features

• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
• Advanced safety features with IQ.DRIVE, including adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and forward collision warning.
