2024 Volkswagen Tiguan vs Honda CR-V

If you’re looking for your next compact SUV, the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is an adaptable option perfect for the regular commuter who loves to head out on the occasional weekend excursion. We can (and do) tout its incredible German engineering, its comfortable cabin, its myriad safety systems, its cutting edge features, and more, but you still might be wondering just how it measures up to the competition. Like, say, Honda’s CR-V? Read on with the experts at Fifth Avenue Volkswagen as we see which one looks better by comparison.

Capability

When it comes to SUVs, “utility” is right there in the name, so you want something capable enough to handle both your daily routines and impulsive adventures. The Volkswagen Tiguan can do just that, thanks to its standard 2.0L TSI engine, with 184 horsepower. The Honda CR-V’s standard 1.5L does have a bit more “oomph,” with 190 horsepower, but the Tiguan’s 221 lb.-ft. of torque is significantly better. Pair that with the Tiguan’s standard 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive system, and you have a compact SUV with 1,500 lbs of towing capacity.

Space

Compact SUVs are smaller, which is ideal for the driver who mainly sticks to urban spaces, but that doesn’t mean they need to feel small. The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan packs an impressive amount of space inside its frame, and even offers a whole third-row option for up to seven passengers – much better than the five passenger maximum of the Honda CR-V. Even with those two extra passengers, the Tiguan has comparable cargo volume, and nearly identical head and leg-room to the smaller CR-V. If you’ve got a busy family, the Tiguan should be your SUV of choice.

Features

When it comes to modern conveniences, the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Honda CR-V are comparable. They both help you beat the winter cold with standard heated front seats. They both allow for seamless wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ integration so you can listen to your smartphone’s music, make calls, or follow map directions on the go. They also have very similar safety features including adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency assistance.
