2019 Volkswagen Atlas or 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan, which is right for you?

Volkswagen offers two high-quality SUVs to buyers in Alberta, but they are considerable different one from the other. On the other hand, if you can afford one, you can probably afford the other. The 2019 Volkswagen Atlas is a mid-sized SUV with three rows of seats standard while the Volkswagen Tiguan is a five-seat compact SUV. Being that Tiguan is one of the most spacious SUVs in its segment, it can actually compete with the Atlas in terms of versatility.

So, if you’re a current Tiguan owner and wondering what to buy next, or you’re new to Volkswagen and unsure which SUV is right for you, let’s take a closer look at both the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan.

Price

Of course, the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is more affordable than the 2019 Atlas. The Tiguan starts at $29,225 while the Volkswagen Atlas starts at $36,740. That’s a significant difference, but if you lease your next Volkswagen SUV the difference is roughly $150 a month between the two. In other words, the Atlas is more expensive, but not by a wide margin.

Interior space

Both the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Volkswagen Atlas are among the most spacious SUVs in their respective segments. The Tiguan has between 1,065 litres and 2,081 litres of total cargo space while the Atlas has 583 litres of cargo space with all seats in place and over 2,700 litres with every row folded flat. There’s no question that the Atlas is the more versatile option between the two. It’s more spacious up front, in the middle row and in the third row while also having more cargo space. You can comfortably sit 7 people in the Atlas with five adults and two kids, and all will be comfortable. The Tiguan is better for two adults and 3 teens or four adults. So, if you’re kids are growing faster than you can keep up with or are already in their teens and you tend to take long trips with a lot of stuff in the vehicle, the Atlas may be the better option.

The Atlas is also the better option if you need to tow with your SUV as it can tow up to 5,000 pounds, considerably more than the Tiguan. Of course, this means that the Atlas and its 3.6-liter V6 engine isn’t as fuel-efficient as the Tiguan.

And so, here’s how we would break it down. If you need space for five passengers and all of their stuff on a regular basis and you need to tow, get the Atlas. If you’re a younger family with young children, don’t really need to tow and want to focus on lowering cost of purchasing and cost of ownership, the Tiguan is the better option.
