I've driven both of these cars owned by my friend, and the Envision S leans more towards comfort. Its suspension tuning is softer, filtering out bumps over speed bumps very well. The Tiguan X is more sporty, with strong chassis support but noticeable bumpiness. Additionally, Buick's 2.0T engine accelerates more smoothly, and the 9AT transmission shifts with almost no jerkiness, while the Tiguan's dual-clutch transmission occasionally jerks in traffic jams. There's a significant difference in space between the two cars. The Envision S's trunk is convenient for strollers, while the Tiguan X's sleek roofline looks stylish but requires folding down the rear seats for larger luggage. In terms of noise insulation, the Envision S is better, especially with wind noise well controlled at high speeds. Choosing a car really depends on your needs—whether you prioritize comfort or looks.
