2020 Jeep Cherokee vs 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan

Exterior

The remarkable differences between the 2020 Jeep Cherokee and the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan begin on the exterior. Comparatively, the Cherokee has a sleeker, more aerodynamic look thanks to its rounded nose and gently contoured surfaces across the side panels and hood. Its front-end design shows off a dominant lower feature with a black mesh vent. The upper portion of the front end carries the elongated, Jeep-branded grille and the piercing headlights. In comparison, the 2020 VW Tiguan’s exterior has a firm definition through the side doors and down the angled hood. The thin grille is integrated with stretched headlights.

Interior

Differences extend inside the cabins. These models have two rows of seats with a fold-down function in the rear and leather material offered in select trims. The Jeep Cherokee’s dashboard design is aesthetically pleasing, with a balanced center stack topped by a large display screen. The Tiguan’s center stack, on the other hand, has a fragmented feel. Air vents sit above the display screen, and these run off to the left to impact the sense of balance in the design. Both vehicles have equipment like a moonroof, heated seats, an auto climate management system, and more.

Performance

From a performance perspective, you may appreciate the fact that the 2020 Cherokee is trail-rated in the areas of articulation, water-fording, maneuverability, and others. The base engine in the Cherokee is a 188-horsepower, 2.4-liter, I-4 engine. The Cherokee is also offered with a 271-horsepower V6 engine. The VW Tiguan for 2020, on the other hand, is only offered with a four-cylinder turbo, 184-horsepower engine.
