2024 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. MAZDA CX-5

If you’re shopping for a new compact SUV, the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan should be at the top of your list. Since we know there will be other crossovers on that list, let’s take a moment to compare it to the 2024 Mazda CX-5. This guide and a quick visit to Casey Volkswagen will help you understand why the Volkswagen model is the better choice.

How They Perform

The Volkswagen SUV offers one engine and two drivelines; the Mazda SUV has two engines and one driveline. The Volkswagen engine provides 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque; that’s better than the Mazda model’s base engine, a naturally aspirated unit that delivers 186 horsepower but only 187 lb-ft of torque. While you can get a turbocharged engine in the Mazda SUV, it’s a costly upgrade.

Space and Seating

With a longer distance between the bumpers and a longer wheelbase, it’s no surprise that the Volkswagen Tiguan wins for cargo room and seating options. The front wheel drive version seats up to seven with three rows of seats. With the third row folded, it has 33 cubic feet of space, while the two-row Mazda SUV has 30.8 cubic feet. The 4MOTION® AWD Volkswagen model seats five, with two rows of seats, and ranges between 37.6 and a maximum of 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
