The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2021 Ford Escape compete in one of the most competitive segments in Canada. The compact SUV segment is indeed packed with quality offerings and the Tiguan and Escape shine by offering their buyers some impressive technology as well as fun driving dynamics. That said, there are some significant differences between the Tiguan and the Escape. Let's take a look at how these vehicles differ from one another.
Better performance and more space in the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan
The Volkswagen Tiguan starts out with a turbocharged 2-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 184 horsepower along with 220 pound-feet of torque. This engine is actually the most powerful engine in the segment, and it is truly impressive how it combines a lot of power with remarkable fuel economy. Indeed, the Tiguan averages less than 9 L per 100km, making it one of the most efficient compact SUVs you can buy.
It also has the upper hand on the 2021 Ford Escape in terms of overall performance. The Ford Escape is actually powered by a turbocharged three-cylinder engine that delivers 180 horsepower along with 190 pound-feet of torque.
The fact that it has a 3-cylinder engine is really surprising, you just don't see this type of engine in a compact SUV. There is a reason to that and if you have ever driven a 3-cylinder engine, you know that they feel different, and their performance is sometimes lacking. They are also quite loud. In any case, the Tiguan, outshines the Ford Escape in both efficiency and overall performance.
It also offers quite a bit more interior space with over 1000 L of total cargo space even with all seats in place. The 2021 Ford Escape only offers 869 L. And if you lower the rear seats, you get roughly 200 more litres of cargo space in the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan.
