2019 Subaru Ascent vs. 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan

The 2019 Subaru Ascent is a new addition to the family that is big in both size and performance. It raises the bar for an SUV that is really powerful yet boasts high safety levels for its passengers.

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is the model’s successor which is highly popular amongst car owners after the Golf and Polo. It brags an assertive exterior with a bigger interior and a worthy evolution.

Design & Style

The 2019 Subaru Ascent is perfect for family trips with a sufficient capacity to accommodate up to 8 passengers comfortably with 153.5 ft³ of room. That translates to 87 ft³ of cargo space if you are not ferrying any passengers in the sleek 3-rows setting.

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan looks smart with its R-Line trim which matches the substance it has within. This new model has a new and improved room space that accommodates up to 7 passengers at one go. That is a comfortable upgrade from its predecessor that only carries 5.

Technology & Safety

The 2019 Subaru Ascent is equipped with several safety features including EyeSight Driver Assist, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Hill Descent Control for overall better traction, and X-Mode for better all-weather control. Its interior sees 8 USB ports and the capability of wi-fi connection.

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is much easier to drive with its steering system being invariably sharp and intuitive. It is also much easier to park with its modest size and its electronic trailer assist system. Its internal infotainment screen can easily sync up with your smartphone for entertainment and navigation purposes.

Performance

The 2019 Subaru Ascent runs on 260 horsepower at 5600 rpm with the standard 4-wheel drive. It is powered by its 2.4L turbo-charged Subaru Boxer engine that can tow a load of maximum 5000 lbs and generates 277 ft lbs of torque at 2000 rpm while using only 10.4L/100km fuel on average.

The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan runs on 184 horsepower under a front-wheel drive system with an optional 4Motion all-wheel drive. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds and cruises quietly at highway speeds.

The Bottom Line

The 2019 Subaru Ascent clearly wins the deal with its more spacious interior that can transport 8 passengers comfortably per trip with a lot of cabin space. It also yields a greater performance on a higher horsepower that allows quick acceleration while still being fuel-efficient while cruising. If you are looking for a car that is more than enough to ferry the whole family without sacrificing on power and control, the 2019 Subaru Ascent is the one for you.
