No matter what type of adventure you have planned, the VW Tiguan and the Honda CR-V will provide an energetic and capable performance.
Both vehicles provide one satisfying engine. The VW Tiguan offers a 2.0L turbocharged engine, while the Honda CR-V has a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Check out below how much power they generate:

VW Tiguan 2.0L Turbocharged | 184 HP | 221 lb-ft |
Honda CR-V 1.5L Turbocharged | 190 HP | 179 lb-ft |
Thanks to their powertrains, both models can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped! Plus, both models can be equipped with available all-wheel drive, which makes them solid choices for time spent on gravel roads or uneven terrain.
Despite their drivetrain similarity, the VW Tiguan supplies 4MOTION® all-wheel drive with Active Control. This adds four versatile drive modes:
- Snow
- On-Road
- Off-Road
- Off-Road Custom
Although the Honda CR-V does offer a 3-mode drive system, it goes without similar drive modes included in the VW Tiguan.
When searching for a new SUV, which features do you look for in the cabin? Plenty of wiggle room for your growing family? Ample trunk space for groceries or after-school practice equipment? Comforting amenities that let you cool down or warm up? You’ll find all these and more in the VW Tiguan and the Honda CR-V!
We all know that adventure draws a crowd. Whether you’re heading to the lake, to a ski resort, or to the local shopping mall, the VW Tiguan and the Honda CR-V will transport your crew with ease.
You can welcome five riders aboard either vehicle! However, they may be sitting in three rows or two, depending on the car. The VW has three rows, while the Honda only offers two. With an additional row in place on the VW Tiguan, this boosts the seating capacity to seven.
These SUVs also provide comparable amenities, such as:
- Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control - This system comes standard on the VW and the Honda CR-V.
- Sunroof - You can experience the feeling of freedom with the available panoramic sunroof in the VW Tiguan. The CR-V has a One-Touch Moonroof, but it only spans the first row.
If you prefer more furnishing options, the VW Tiguan can be upholstered in either cloth, leather, or leatherette materials. You’ll be one material short in the Honda CR-V—you can have the seats furnished in either cloth or leather.
In-cabin technology is crucial to your enjoyment. After all, when you’ve got miles to go, some caraoke will surely pass the time. Both the VW Tiguan and the Honda CR-V come with fully equipped infotainment systems to make sure you’re entertained wherever you travel. Pair this with standard safety, and you’ll be cruising confidently.
In more introductory trims, the VW Tiguan comes with the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, a feature that removes traditional instrument cluster gauges and turns them digital. However, if you upgrade to the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro, you can view your desired information on an 8-inch or a 10.25-inch display behind the wheel!
When it comes to your entertainment, the VW Tiguan can access the following technologies via its standard touchscreen:
- Available 9-speaker Fender® Premium Audio System
- Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™
You’ll find the Honda CR-V can be equipped with various screens as well. The base model features a 7-inch screen, but it can be upgraded to a 9-inch display! Even with the upgrade, the VW Tiguan has a bigger instrument cluster display, making it perfect for drivers who need enlarged visibility on the road.
On top of intelligent infotainment systems helping keep you connected on daily drives, you can rely on the VW Tiguan and the Honda CR-V to help you remain on your intended path. Both SUVs feature impressive safety suites that share similar features. However, the VW Tiguan offers a few additional systems:
- Available Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking
- Available Parking Steering Assistant (Park Assist)
The Honda CR-V will help keep you safe. However, if you need assistance when parking in tight squeezes, the VW Tiguan will provide more peace of mind.
