The Volkswagen Tiguan isn’t your usual compact SUV. It includes performance, superior driving dynamics, great looks and a ton of technology. The Volkswagen Tiguan also has many interior features that you will rarely find in the segment, like third-row seating, IQ.Drive and Car-Net, among other useful elements.
Here we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with the 2022 Honda CR-V.
More power and performance in the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan
The Volkswagen lineup is built around performance, and the Tiguan gets all the benefits from this philosophy. It’s powered by a powerful four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with an output of no less than 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a precisely calibrated 8-speed automatic transmission which channels the power to all four wheels thanks to the standard 4MOTION AWD system that can conquer any type of weather condition thanks to multiple driving modes that adapt to any road surface.
The 2022 Honda CR-V is much less about power and performance. It uses a turbocharged 1.5-litre unit that only dishes out 179 lb-ft of torque. This engine is unfortunately paired with a boring-to-operate continuously variable transmission (CVT) that channels the power to the front wheels when the CR-V is in its base form, with AWD being optional.
There’s no doubt that the Tiguan is more advanced, not only in terms of power, but also in terms of driveability thanks to its standard AWD system.
More room for passengers and more tech inside the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan
The Volkswagen Tiguan may look compact when you look at it from the outside, but it definitely focusses on maximum space inside. The Tiguan pushed things forward with an option that you will almost never find in the segment: third-row seating. This option lets you convert your Tiguan into a large family hauler without having to upgrade to a midsize SUV, saving you money and gas at the same time. The CR-V doesn’t offer third-row seating.
The Tiguan also charges ahead in terms of tech, with equipment like Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, Car-Net services to control certain features of your Tiguan remotely, and much more.
