The Tiguan or Wanting To Escape....


If you are looking for a compact SUVs, not a monstrous one with the killer gas tank and gas mileage, there are options. Volkswagen has the model of Tiguan. Even if you are looking for good deals on all the different SUV options, VW Deals are to be had. Some consumers have checked out the Escape Hybrid as a choice to the vast sea of options. Either one of these vehicles is a good choice, depending on what your needs are. Checking out the Chattanooga Ford Dealers for the latest Ford Escape Hybrid, will make the experience of vehicle comparing more shopper friendly. The Tiguan has turbocharged engine, giving you that little bit of power when you needed. While the Ford Escape Hybrid is one to the most fuel efficient SUVs that are available.

Choosing between the two will be a choice of what features one is looking for. Performance is one of the two most important and fuel economy tops of the list also. The Tiguan has the turbocharged engine can send you from 0 to 60 in 7.8 seconds. The Escape Hybrid has the 153 horsepower gasoline engine and a 94 horsepower electric motor, giving you more than what you need when accelerating onto a highway. Tiguan's fuel consumption comes in about 18 mpg for city/24 mpg highway for automatics while the Hybrid boasts 34 mpg for city/31 mpg highway for the FWD models. Either model for safety comes in about the same, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the Hybrid a "Good" rating for three different crash protection tests. The Tiguan also has rated "Good" on two impact crash tests, showing that both SUVs have safety high on the list. The power train and bumper to bumper warranties on both vehicles are actually identical. Both have the 3 year/36,000 mile or 5 year/60,000 Power train warranty. The Volkswagen has an added feature of free maintenance program, which for import maintenance, this is a bonus because basic oil changes can be pricey. While you can go longer in mileage on oil changes due to the technology improvements in synthetic oil, it still costs more than original oil change.

Overall, while shopping for a compact SUV, keep in mind your most important features on the vehicle you want. Searching for the vehicle that does have what you want but keep the open mind of others might not have it to the best but maybe pricing or low apr financing rate could change your mind. Sometimes, when you think you know what you want, something else comes along, grabs your attention and you end up purchasing a vehicle you never thought you would. Either one of these are premium choices, Tiguan has German engineering while the Hybrid is American made. Whatever choice you make, it’s you that will be driving it for some time, make it everything you want.
