Comparison Specifications

If You Want a Third Row, Choose the 2023 Tiguan

We start by looking at versatility, which is usually one of the top criteria for consumers when choosing their next SUV. Although both the Tiguan and the Rogue give you over 1000 L of cargo space and a welcoming second row, the Volkswagen compact SUV is the only model in its segment to offer an available third row. If you want to have the opportunity to bring seven passengers with you, only the Tiguan can deliver.

More Standard Features in the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan

The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan gives you a long list of standard features that are quite rare in this segment. Examples include standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a standard digital instrument cluster, and even a standard heated steering wheel. These features are all available on the new Rogue, but you will have to pay more to get them. Moreover, the 2023 Tiguan comes standard with 4Motion all-wheel drive, while the base Rogue is front-wheel-drive only.

Significantly More Performance in the Tiguan

The Volkswagen Tiguan features a standard 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 184 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque. This engine is the most powerful base powertrain you can get in the segment and compared to the 181 hp and 181 pound-feet of torque of the Rogue, it gives you quite a bit more performance and confidence on the road. It accelerates with less hesitation and passes with smooth and efficient power delivery that you will love. It also provides sharper handling and a better balance of comfort and sportiness compared to the Nissan Rogue.

The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan and 2023 Nissan Rogue have a lot to offer, but if value, performance, and a third row sound good to you, the Volkswagen compact SUV is the better option.
