As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Mazda CX-5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan.

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). Whether you pick the Mazda CX-5 or the Volkswagen Tiguan, it's going to cost you about the same.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Mazda CX-5 will cost more in terms of transportation costs than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Utility
