Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Tiguan than in the Buick Envision, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Buick Envision and the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Buick Envision as you will with the Volkswagen Tiguan, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Buick Envision is somewhat more expensive than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Dimensions
The Buick Envision is a little wider than the Volkswagen Tiguan, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Buick Envision takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Handling
The Buick Envision has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Tiguan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Buick Envision has a little more horsepower than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Buick Envision does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Envision and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Buick Envision has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
