The crossover SUV category remains incredibly competitive with seemingly every major car brand having a model in this category. Our Volkswagen dealership near Fort Worth sees this competitiveness firsthand with how many of our customers want to compare the Volkswagen Tiguan with other new SUV options. Finding the right mix of value, features, and cabin space is vital, and we believe that the new Tiguan is the right option for drivers. Below, we provide highlights of a Volkswagen Tiguan comparison that we put together to help you learn about your different options and how they stack up!
Compare the VW Tiguan and Toyota RAV4
- The new Volkswagen Tiguan has a lower starting price than the Toyota RAV4. This price difference is especially important once you see that the VW Tiguan comes with more standard features, such as a blind-spot monitor and heated seats, than what is standard in the RAV4.
- The new Tiguan comes with other advanced safety systems not available in the Toyota RAV4, including the Intelligent Crash Response System. This feature detects when you've been in an accident and performs several functions, from unlocking the doors to disabling the fuel pump, so that you have less to think about in this stressful situation.
- The Volkswagen Tiguan also provides value by introducing sought-after features, such as a wireless charging pad and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, much earlier in its trim level lineup than where you'll find them among Toyota RAV4 trims.
Compare the Volkswagen Tiguan and Honda CR-V
- The Honda CR-V has a starting price nearly $5,000 above that of the Volkswagen Tiguan, which puts it outside the price range of many drivers. The Tiguan still goes toe-to-toe with the CR-V with its feature package and includes standard features, like wireless Apple CarPlay, not standard in the Honda CR-V.
- Drivers expect a lot of cabin space from their SUVs, and the Volkswagen Tiguan backs it up with 124 cubic feet of passenger space, which gives all five passengers room to stretch out during long trips.
