It’s always SUV season here in Springfield, VA., But with the rise in SUV popularity, all sorts of models have emerged. So, how do you choose just one to be your next vehicle? That’s what we are here to tackle today. We’ll compare the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2019 VW Atlas. Both are sought after by our customers here at Sheehy VW of Springfield, and we are confident you’ll find your future SUV in one of them.
To begin, if you are looking for a smaller SUV, the Tiguan is probably going to tempt you more than the Atlas. While both models can seat up to 7 people, the Tiguan is more compact and easier to maneuver in tight spaces. However, that also means you will sacrifice some cargo space in favor of this maneuverability. The Tiguan has 12 cubic feet of cargo space behind the last row, which may not be enough for adventurers who need to use all 7 seats. In this case, you might want to go with the Atlas, which has 20.6 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the last row.
