2021 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2021 Honda CR-V: Ahead of the Game

The Volkswagen Tiguan is ahead of the game in its segment with superior power and torque, signature driving dynamics and unrivalled style that no other SUV can match. But it also thoroughly serves its compact SUV duties, delivering great cargo space, intuitive technologies and commodities as well as plenty of passenger space for up to seven. The 2021 edition of the Tiguan is offered in Trendline, Comfortline, UNITED, and Highline trims.

Here, we compare the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan to the 2021 Honda CR-V. 

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan delivers torque and handling

The Tiguan takes performance seriously, with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. This engine is perfectly matched with an 8-Speed Tiptronic transmission that sends the power to the front wheels or to the available 4MOTION AWD system that will conquer winter like no other AWD system on the market can.

The Honda CR-V uses a less potent turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder that outputs similar power, but reduces torque to 179 lb-ft. This provides less response, while negatively impacting driving dynamics. The CR-V also uses a less sporty continuously variable transmission.

The Volkswagen Tiguan’s drivetrain is much more adaptable to road conditions. With a wide selection of on and off road drive modes, you can take your Tiguan anywhere. It even features a custom Off-Road mode that lets you dial-in your preferences from steering to throttle and transmission.

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan provides more space for passengers

In need of space for a large family but don’t want to purchase a mid-size or full-size SUV? No problem. The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan offers an optional third-row package that lets you bump the seating to 7. This additional passenger space is not available with the Honda CR-V.

The 2021 Tiguan is also backed by one of the industry’s best warranties.  It features a New Vehicle Warranty that covers four years or 80,000 km (whichever comes first). That’s one year and 20,000 km more than the CR-V’s equivalent warranty coverage.

The Volkswagen Tiguan is more stylish, more responsive and more capable on the road, but also provides maximum space for your family. This makes it the best choice in the segment.
