TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
2014 |
Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec.
In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines.
One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest.

Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room.
