2022 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander: The Tiguan Charges Ahead

The Volkswagen Tiguan is the perfect compact SUV. It delivers a dynamic, sporty drive with plenty of horsepower and torque, and it is fitted with the best AWD system in the industry so you can take on the longest Canadian winters. Inside, it offers plenty of comfort with third-row seating, unparalleled technologies and commodities for the family and safety features you can count on.

This year, the Volkswagen Tiguan gets a series of styling and technological enhancements that put it at the forefront of the segment.

Here we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander.

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan provides more smiles at the wheel

Under the hood of the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan, you will find the powerful and reliable four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with an output of 184 horsepower and a whopping 221 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission that is efficient and precise.

This powertrain sends everything to Volkswagen’s standard 4MOTION AWD system that delivers superior traction and adaptability thanks to a complete series of drive modes suited for every type of road condition.

The Mitsubishi Outlander’s main engine is a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre unit that only outputs 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is much less engaging than the Tiguan’s 8-speed unit. Plus, the Outlander’s AWD system isn’t as advanced as the Tiguan’s 4MOTION system.

The Outlander also has a hybrid version, but it still offers less torque and driveability than the Tiguan.

The Tiguan gets better tech

Inside, the Tiguan is much more comfortable than the Outlander. Both vehicles offer third-row seating. However, not only is the Volkswagen Tiguan’s third row more comfortable for passengers, it also leaves more cargo space behind it than the Outlander.

Technology is also a priority with the Tiguan. In this sporty compact SUV, you will find top-of-the-line equipment such as the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, Car-Net services to control certain features of your Tiguan remotely, and much more. The Mitsubishi Outlander’s interior is much less advanced with an infotainment system that is years behind.
