INTERIOR
Volkswagen 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!

Room for Your Entire Party

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.

Get Cozy

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.

TECHNOLOGY

In-cabin technology is crucial to your enjoyment. After all, when you’ve got miles to go, some caraoke will surely pass the time.

Meet Your Digital Copilots

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.

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.

Buckle Up

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 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.
