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 Ford Bronco Sport is somewhat more expensive than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Dimensions

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford Bronco Sport is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen Tiguan for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Ford Bronco Sport and the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Powertrain
