Comparison Review

Comfort
The Kia EV6 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen Tiguan, with comparable head- and legroom. The Kia EV6 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Tiguan, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 Kia EV6 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Kia EV6 is much wider than the Volkswagen Tiguan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Kia EV6 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Handling
The Kia EV6 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 Kia EV6 is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen Tiguan for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Kia EV6 greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Powertrain
The Kia EV6 has much lower torque than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia EV6 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Kia EV6 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
