2024 Volkswagen Tiguan vs Kia Sorento
The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is an incredible compact SUV. It’s a reliable and comfortable option for the busy commuter, or the family on the go. But just how does the world-class German engineering of the Tiguan measure up to Kia’s impressive Sorento? The team here at Georgetown Volkswagen looks at the Tiguan up against the Kia Sorento to determine which one is the superior compact SUV.
Performance
The Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with a standard 2.0L TSI engine, generating a very respectable 184 horsepower. The Kia Sorento, by comparison, is equipped with a 2.5L 4 Cylinder GDI which generates a bit more horsepower, at 191 hp. The Tiguan’s 221 lb.-ft. of torque is significantly better than the 181 lb.-ft. of torque in the base trim of the Sorento, though, and that means more pavement gripping pulling power. When you factor in the Tiguan’s standard 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive, you end up with a compact SUV capable of towing up to 1.500 lbs. If it’s efficiency you’re concerned about, both the Tiguan and the Sorento have identical estimated combined fuel economies at 9.4L/100km.
Features
Both the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Kia Sorento are modern vehicles, featuring some of the latest technologies. Both are equipped for Canada, with standard heated front seats – though the Tiguan does edge out the Sorento with available three-zone automatic climate control, rather than just dual-zone. Both have available wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ and wireless device charging so you can leave the cords at home. Both feature optional panoramic sunroofs to help open up the cabin to the great outdoors. They also feature comparable safety and driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, and blind spot assistance.
