Highlander or Tiguan L: Which One to Buy?

[LaReagan]

Highlander or Tiguan L: The choice depends on the owner's driving habits. Here are the relevant details: 1. Power: The new Highlander is equipped with a 2.0T engine across the lineup, with a maximum power of 162kW and a peak torque of 350Nm, which matches the parameters of the Tiguan L's high-power 2.0T engine. However, the Tiguan L offers more diverse power options, with the 1.4T and low-power 2.0T versions delivering more impressive fuel efficiency. The Tiguan L provides a wider range of powertrain choices. 2. Interior: The Highlander's interior has a more minimalist Japanese feel, with adequate configurations, but it slightly falls short compared to the Tiguan L. For example, when comparing the similarly priced Highlander 2WD Elite Edition with the Tiguan L 2WD R-Line Flagship Edition, the Tiguan L comes with additional features such as tire pressure monitoring, parking radar, rearview camera, auto hold, and cruise control. The Highlander's biggest advantage is likely its 7-seat layout, which is more suitable for families with a strict need for 7 seats.
