2022 Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Volkswagen Tiguan: Compare Compact Family SUVs in Ramsey, NJ
Fully refreshed for its fourth generation, the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander sports a snazzy new aesthetic and upgrades to all aspects of the driving experience. It's refined, versatile, and well-equipped, including a generous array of standard amenities and tech features. And its athletic handling and nimble size make it an ideal city runabout. Plus, it's one of the few compact crossovers with a third-row-sized for kids, but can come in handy in a pinch.
The 2022 Outlander is one of the most well-rounded and appealing options in its class. Here's a quick look at how it compares to a close class competitor, the Volkswagen Tiguan.
2022 Mitsubishi Outlander vs. VW Tiguan: Accommodations and Utility
Outlander's updated cabin is classy and modern, with attractive style elements, well-integrated tech features, and quality materials, especially on the SEL trim. There's also nice attention to detail, including textured knobs and dials, patterned and contrast-stitched upholstery, and a thoughtfully designed steering wheel. Tiguan's interior is nicely streamlined but uninspired and comparatively plain.
The 2022 Outlander is also roomier, offering an extra inch of front headroom and 1.5 inches more front legroom than Tiguan. Second-row passengers will appreciate the additional three inches of legroom. And if cargo space is a priority, Outlander has the edge, with 80 cubic feet of max cargo space compared to Tiguan's 65.
2022 Mitsubishi Outlander vs. VW Tiguan: Performance
Outlander's 2.5-liter engine makes 181 horsepower, while Tiguan's turbocharged 2.0-liter produces 184 horsepower. However, Outlander's lighter curb weight and responsive transmission make it quicker off the line. Car and Driver clocked the Outlander's 0-60 time at 8.2 seconds, while the Tiguan took 9.1 seconds. The Outlander is also slightly more efficient, with AWD models achieving EPA estimated ratings of 24 mpg city and mpg 30 highway (Tiguan 4MOTION: 22 city / 29 highway).
2022 Mitsubishi Outlander vs. VW Tiguan: Standard Features
The 2022 Outlander is packed with amenities across its lineup, including a full roster of advanced driver aids on every trim. While Tiguan offers many of the same features, most aren't as accessible as they are on Outlander. For example, all Outlander models come standard with:
- Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Warning w/ Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Warning
- Rear Automatic Emergency Braking
- Rear Parking Sensors
- Automatic High Beams
- Driver Attention Alert
- 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
The Tiguan comes standard with collision mitigation, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen. However, the remaining features are only available on higher trim levels or optional packages.
2022 Mitsubishi Outlander vs. VW Tiguan: Available Features
Moving up just one level from each model's base trim, you'll find the Outlander SE and Tiguan SE are equally priced. However, Outlander offers much more for your money, and many features of the Outlander SE are only available on Tiguan's highest tier or aren't offered at all. Examples include a 360-degree camera system, a 9-inch touchscreen, integrated navigation, and a hands-free power liftgate. And while the Tiguan SE comes with adaptive cruise control, Outlander SE's navigation-linked MI-PILOT Assist is more advanced.
