[quote=Anonymous]I have both a 2010 Tiguan and 2018 Atlas so can provide a good comparison. We recently went back and forth on upgrading to the 2018 Tiguan vs Atlas and ultimately went with the Atlas.

OP, it honestly will come down to how much car you need. For us, we have the Tiguan for short city trips as you are right, it is easier to park (and also older so I don't care too much about door dings now).  The Atlas though is a great car for a good value.

I disagree on the leg room remark, it has by far one of the more generous seating in it's class for all passengers, even in the 3rd row. Compare it against Highlander, Explorer, etc. The Tiguan 3rd row is a pop up, so as in use very sparingly. I am 5'2 and I wouldn't want to sit in the back row for a long period of time.

In comparing gas consumption, the Tiguan isn't that much better. The Atlas also takes regular gas which makes me feel a little better about mpgs. The reason gas mpgs are lower in the Atlas is because of the weight of the car. That weight is awesome to have in the winter though. Comparing the two cars in the snow, the Atlas was amazing. I can't tell you how many times I got stuck in our Tiguan because of lack of clearance.

The Atlas lengthwise is similar to a minivan or other 3rd row SUVs, so not [i]that[/i] big. The hood does take some getting used to since it is larger. If I were to pick over again, I would have upgraded to SEL to get the 360 camera view. I don't love not being able to see my side view but I am overly cautious since it's still a new car to us.

I don't think you can lose when both cars have the 6 year warranty, that to me was a huge selling point. [/quote]
