One of the biggest reasons people choose the Tiguan is its spacious and flexible interior. Unlike many competitors—including the Audi Q5—the Tiguan offers an available third-row seat, making it perfect for families or anyone who needs extra seating. With room for up to seven passengers, it’s ready for road trips, carpools, and everything in between.
Legroom is generous, too. The Tiguan provides 40.2 inches up front and 36.6 inches in the second row, ensuring everyone stays comfortable. The Q5 offers slightly more second-row space, but without that third-row option, it’s not as versatile.
Cargo space is another area where the Tiguan takes the lead. Fold down the seats, and you get up to 73.4 cubic feet of space—plenty of room for luggage, groceries, or camping gear. The Q5 maxes out at 54.1 cubic feet, which just isn’t as practical for people who need extra cargo capacity.
