Which is better Highlander or Tiguan, and which is better Highlander or Tiguan L

Highlander two-wheel drive this car, if you run in the city and is a family, it is the absolute first choice, the space is huge, but the power is generally running on mountain roads, I think it is still forgotten, this car can not run on mountain roads, and the iron sheet of this car is relatively thin, if we want to say it, it is good to thin skin and big stuffing!! The Tiguan 2WD has a smaller interior space, but it is completely adequate for families. The power is excellent (compared to Highlander), and it is absolutely no problem to run on mountain roads (this car is an SUV, not an off-road vehicle, so if you want to run a real mountain road, you don't try a serious road, I guess it is also suspended), and the safety factor of the vehicle is relatively high.

It's normal for the airbag to pop out when the tail is bumped up and the airbag doesn't pop out when there is an impact on the front end or both sides!!

In fact, it can be said that the ruler is short and long, and the Highlander space is very hanging, but the Tiguan is slightly better in terms of power, if you are a novice, it is recommended to buy the Tiguan, because the sheet metal of Japanese cars is very thin, and the sheet metal of German cars is super thick. The Highlander car is relatively large, and it is very clumsy to hold meetings in the city, but it is not flexible. Anyway, it depends on how you choose.

The Tiguan is actually quite good, as you said about the quality of the worries, in fact, if you also see the Highlander accident, maybe it is even more pitiful than the Tiguan you see. I will say the following from two aspects, the first is that you often run at home, there are fewer mountain roads, and the Tiguan has a slight advantage in terms of power and fuel consumption; In addition, the Highlander's model looks a little stingier than the Tiguan in appearance, and you should be able to tell it.

Highlander has been sold for so many years and has to increase the price to pick up the car, and the Tiguan L has only been on the market for about two years and has a discount of about 20,000, which car do you say is better? It must be Highlander, can it be bad to buy a car that has been bought at a higher price? Moreover, the value retention rate of Highlander is very high, and second-hand cars are basically rushed to get it, and Tiguan L does not have this kind of treatment.

I think Highlander should be a level higher than Tiguan L, although these two cars are medium-sized SUVs, but just look at the size of these two cars, Highlander is obviously much larger than Tiguan L, so it will be more domineering outside, Highlander's body length is close to 4.9 meters, the width is more than 1.9 meters, and the height is 1.72 meters, but the body length of Tiguan L is only a little more than 4.7 meters, and the width is only a little more than 1.8 meters, and the height is less than 1.7 meters. Looks a lap smaller than Highlander.

Highlander's model popularity and reputation should also be Tiguan L is not comparable, Volkswagen Tiguan's popularity is quite high, but Tiguan L is a new car that has been on the market for about two years, so there are many people who know Tiguan, but not many people know Tiguan L, but Highlander is completely different, speaking of medium-sized SUVs, who doesn't know Highlander? And it's no exaggeration to say that the Highlander is basically the benchmark for mid-size SUVs.

Compared with the Tiguan L, the comprehensive strength of the Highlander also has obvious advantages, and the Highlander is definitely better than the Volkswagen Tiguan L in terms of quality and durability, Toyota's biggest selling point is that the durability is good, basically there will be no problems if you drive for many years, but the gearbox of the Tiguan L is dual-clutch, not only there is a setback, but there will be abnormal noise after a long time.

Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Tiguan L are both medium-sized SUVs, but the difference between these two cars is still obvious, and the target group is also different, Highlander is a Japanese car, Tiguan L is a German car, and the characteristics of these two models are completely different, so it is difficult to say which one is better, after all, green vegetables and radishes have their own loves, it depends on the characteristics of which car you prefer.

If you want a seven-seat SUV, then you don't have to choose at all, you can only consider Highlander, because Tiguan L only has five seats, this is also more strange, Volkswagen Tiguan L's sibling brother Skoda Kodiak has a seven-seat model, Tiguan L has no plans to produce seven seats at all, and Highlander's main model is seven seats, although there are also five seats, but there is only one configuration of five seats, and it is the lowest configuration, so it will look more shabby.

If you want to choose a five-seat medium-sized SUV, then you must choose the Volkswagen Tiguan L, the Tiguan L model is much richer than the Highlander, and the wheelbase of the Tiguan L is longer than the Highlander, ** Tiguan L is more advantageous, the Highlander in many places has to increase the price, but the Tiguan L is preferential, the Tiguan L is all five-seater, if the configuration requirements are not high, then choose the low configuration can be, if the configuration requirements are high, then choose the high configuration can be.

In addition, the characteristics of Japanese cars are different from those of German cars, the power of the Highlander is mainly smooth, the power of the Tiguan L will be more explosive, and the sense of sportiness is stronger, and the Japanese cars are more durable, and the Volkswagen models may have a little more problems.

Highlander is better.

The second generation of the Highlander began to enter China, which is considered to be the pioneer of creating a mid-size SUV, and in 2015 ushered in the third generation of today's model.

The size of 4890x1925x1720mm ensures that there is enough space in the car to accommodate the 2+3+2 seat layout, but it is not stupidly large, in addition to the full flat floor, there is also a large **armrest box and easy access to storage space.

The most fundamental difference between the Tiguan L and the Highlander is that its mid-size positioning is not native, but is derived from the usual "upgrade" method: a longer wheelbase. But for Volkswagen, which has long been modular, the high degree of homogeneity has not brought any negative effects to the Tiguan L, which uses the MQB platform.

Both have their own characteristics, if it is a young group, it is more suitable for Tiguan L, and if it is a mature and stable person, it is more suitable for Highlander:

First, the appearance design of the two styles are different, but they are more atmospheric style, in the city to open in a variety of occasions are more suitable. If you have to distinguish carefully, the body of the Tiguan L looks more compact and capable, with a more sporty atmosphere, which should be more in line with the aesthetics of younger consumers; The Highlander will be relatively larger and more stable, and will be suitable for successful home users.

Second, both of them use a headlight design with far and low beam separation, both with LED daytime running lights, and Tiguan L is a full LED light source, and with adaptive follow-up steering function. The Highlander is a halogen light source, compared to the Tiguan L, which has a higher configuration.

Third, the front face design is very atmospheric, Tiguan L highlights the horizontal neat and uniform lines, which looks more concise; The Highlander is more eye-catching with a trapezoidal grille.

Fourth, in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Highlander are larger than the Tiguan L, only the wheelbase is shorter by 1mm, both the visual effect and the space experience can reflect that the Highlander is indeed larger.

5. In terms of tire configuration, both cars use 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and the Tiguan L is equipped with Continental MaxContact MC6 tires, focusing on sports handling performance and high mileage characteristics, and the width reaches 255mm, and the wider tread can generally provide better grip.

The Highlander uses Hankook's Danap DynaPro HP2 all-season tires, which can cope with road surfaces in different seasons, especially focusing on wet performance, low rolling resistance and low noise, and theoretically better fuel saving performance. It is worth mentioning that the tire grade of Tiguan L supports a maximum speed of 240km h, while the Highlander tire supports 190km h, but the Highlander tire has a higher load mass, which shows the difference in orientation between the two.

Highlander is better.

1. Appearance contrast.

Both the Volkswagen Tiguan L and the Toyota Highlander are very aesthetically pleasing to the public, and consumers from at least 20 to 50 years old have a high degree of acceptance of these two cars.

However, due to the size, Toyota Highlander's exterior ** is more atmospheric, after all, the length of Highlander reaches 4890mm, while the length of Volkswagen Tiguan L is only 4712mm, but the wheelbase of Volkswagen Tiguan L is 2791mm, and the wheelbase of Highlander is only 2790mm.

Due to design factors, the interior space of the Volkswagen Tiguan L feels much larger than that of the Toyota Highlander, whether it is the cockpit or the second row of seats, the Volkswagen Tiguan L has a good advantage in terms of actual passenger space. As for the third row, the third row of both cars is just for emergency use. However, for consumers who are more concerned about space, the Volkswagen Tiguan L is still more worth considering.

2. Comparison of interior design.

The interior design of the Volkswagen Tiguan L is more in line with the aesthetics of today's young consumers, although the Toyota Highlander is a little old, but it is not annoying, and even very attractive, this classic design still has merit. As for the performance in terms of luxury, the Tiguan L and Highlander are not much different.

3. Configuration comparison.

The performance of Highlander and Volkswagen Tiguan L is based on home use, and more attention is paid to active and passive safety configuration, high-tech configuration, etc., and Volkswagen Tiguan L may have more advantages.

Of course, one point that has to be mentioned here is the cost performance, because there are too many models, so to summarize briefly, entry-level models or two-wheel drive models, Volkswagen Tiguan L is more cost-effective, and if you want to choose a four-wheel drive model or a 7-seater model, in fact, strictly speaking, Toyota Highlander is more cost-effective.

4. Performance comparison.

Considering the models or attributes of the two cars, I personally recommend considering the four-wheel drive model, about the driving experience of the four-wheel drive model. In terms of power, both cars use engines, with a maximum horsepower of 220ps, but in the actual driving experience, it will be found that the Volkswagen Tiguan L has a better performance in the initial stage, and the Highlander pays more attention to smoothness in the initial stage.

The acceleration in the middle and late sections, in fact, the Highlander and the Tiguan L can be said to be almost the same. In terms of chassis, both cars belong to the category of urban SUVs, both of which are based on comfort, and the compactness of the chassis is outstanding, even if it is on some bumpy roads, it still has a good car experience.

In fact, just from the brand aspect, I think Volkswagen is much better than Toyota, Volkswagen is a German car, Toyota is a Japanese car, the driving texture and workmanship of German cars are better than Japanese cars, Tiguan L will not lose to Highlander at all, in addition to being a little smaller in terms of appearance size, Tiguan L's wheelbase and space performance are actually not worse than Highlander, Tiguan L's wheelbase is 2791mm, Highlander is only 2790mm.

Pictured above is the interior of the Volkswagen Tiguan L).

There will be no comparison in terms of appearance, after all, everyone's aesthetics are different, some people think that Highlander is more domineering, and some people think that Tiguan L is better-looking, this is a matter of benevolence and wisdom, but in terms of interior, Tiguan L is really much more advanced than Highlander, not only more beautiful in terms of shape, but also more scientific and technological in terms of configuration.

The picture above shows the interior of the Toyota Highlander).

The interior styling of the Tiguan L is very simple and fashionable, and the interior of the Highlander is still the kind of design that was many years ago, the Japanese car seems to be a little unenterprising in terms of interior, completely out of the pace of the times, and in terms of technology configuration, Tiguan L supports the Internet of Vehicles and voice recognition system, and supports CarPlay, but Highlander is much behind, not only does it not have the Internet of Vehicles, but even CarPlay is not supported, and it feels like it is still a model of the last century.

Pictured above is the Volkswagen Tiguan L engine).

In terms of power and driving experience, the Tiguan L is also much better than the Highlander, although both cars are turbocharged engines, and the maximum horsepower is 220 horsepower, but the Tiguan L uses a 6-speed manual automatic transmission, and the Tiguan L uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, so in terms of the logic of shifting, the Tiguan L is better than the Highlander, and the downshift will be faster, so the power output of the Tiguan L is also better than the Highlander, and the acceleration feeling will be better, and the Highlander will feel that the power is insufficient.

In contrast, the Highlander has a bit more space and is a seven-seater car. And Tiguan L is mainly seatless, so if you have a large number of people, you can consider Highlander.

In addition, in terms of terminal discounts, Highlander does not have any discounts, and there are some configurations that do not have cars, so special attention should be paid to this.
