Two OEMs that do are Volkswagen and Mitsubishi. Let’s take a look. Here’s our head-to-head comparison of the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan SE AWD and the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander SE AWD.

More Comfortable Cabin

With a vehicle that focuses on seating capacity, like a three-row crossover, you’d expect the manufacturer to put a lot of emphasis on passenger comfort. This is true for the 2020 Tiguan. The seats are supportive and comfortable. Over long drives, you won’t wind up with a sore back. Similarly, the suspension soaks up most road imperfections. Road and wind noise are almost non-existent. The 2020 Outlander is a complete mess, on the other hand. The seats are uncomfortable all-around and have few-to-no adjustability options. Every bump in the road will be sent straight to your seat, as the Outlander suspension does not offer a smooth ride. On top of all that, it’s incredibly noisy inside thanking to wind buffeting and engine noise.

More Cargo Space

The 2020 Tiguan comes in two variants: two-row and three-row seating. The three-row option has 12 cu-ft of space behind the third row, 33 cu-ft behind the second, and 65.7 cu-ft behind the third. Two-row models offer even more space, with 37.6 cu-ft and 73.5 cu-ft behind the respective rows. The Outlander comes in at 10.3 cu-ft, 34.2 cu-ft, and 63.3 cu-ft with behind its three respective rows. And if you want the top-tier moonroof on the Outlander, you’ll have to sacrifice even more space.
