Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac XT4 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen Tiguan, with comparable head- and legroom. The Volkswagen Tiguan will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT4.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT4 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 Cadillac XT4 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT4 is much wider than the Volkswagen Tiguan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. The Cadillac XT4 is slightly shorter than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Cadillac XT4 has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Tiguan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Cadillac XT4 is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen Tiguan for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT4 has a little more horsepower than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT4 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 Cadillac XT4 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Cadillac XT4 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
