Superior Utility
The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan has a few things that the 2020 Subaru Forester doesn’t. For instance, the Tiguan has three-row seating, bumping the seating capacity up to seven. The Forester maxes out at five. Cargo space is also better. With the third row down, the 2020 Tiguan has 37.6 cu-ft behind the second row. The 2020 Forester only has 31.1 cu-ft behind its second row.
Impressive Safety Features
The 2020 Tiguan has a lot of integrated tech. When it comes to safety, the 2020 Tiguan has adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, high beam control, a lane keeping system, forward collision warning with front assist, autonomous emergency braking, and a rearview camera. It also has an intelligent crash response system that, if airbags deploy, will turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights. This couples well with the automatic post-collision braking system that brings the vehicle to a stop after a collision, mitigating damage and the possibility of additional impacts.
