When do you choose the Volkswagen Tiguan and when the Volvo XC40?
Choose the Volkswagen Tiguan if…
- You want a roomy mid-size SUV with a 652-litre boot (eTSI) and a sliding rear bench; ANWB found more rear and boot space than in the Mazda CX-5.
- You can charge and mostly drive short trips: the eHybrid is rated at 118 to 126 km electric range (WLTP) and charges at 11 kW AC.
- You tow: the eHybrid 150 kW may tow 1,800 kg braked, the 200 kW version 2,000 kg.
Choose the Volvo XC40 if…
- you want a compact petrol SUV with a lot of safety equipment
- you want to tow 2,000 kg: the B4 can (B3: 1,600 kg)
- you value a neatly finished interior with practical details
These lists come from our own review of each model (compiled with the help of AI from the sources listed, facts checked automatically; we have not driven the cars). They are not a verdict on which of the two is better.
