2021 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2021 Honda CR-V: Better Torque, Better Space

2021 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2021 Honda CR-V: Better Torque, Better Space

The 2021 Tiguan is one of the more unique compact SUVs on the road today. With exclusive styling, a response that delivers, and an optional third row, the Tiguan is ready to impact your lifestyle and your neighbors. 

Four primary models offer a blend of features that align with many tastes, and we are proud to compare the Tiguan to the competition. Here, we compare it to the 2021 Honda CR-V. 

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan gets a head start on the competition

Each Tiguan includes a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers 184 horsepower and an impressive 221 lb-ft of torque. This type of response keeps a loaded Tiguan ready to assume its place in traffic, take on challenging roads, or just get the right start from a stop. The CR-V has a turbo 1.5-litre four-cylinder that generates slightly more horsepower, but has over 40 lb-ft less torque than the Tiguan. This difference will be obvious if you compare with a test drive. 

Moreover, the Tiguan uses a sporty 8-Speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic technology, a much more engaging unit than the CR-V’s continuously variable transmission.

The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan has a better warranty and space

The warranty of every new vehicle reflects the manufacturer's confidence in their product. Volkswagen takes much pride in the Tiguan with a 4-year / 80,000 km new-vehicle limited warranty. Honda's similar warranty only provides 3 years / 60,000 km of coverage. Road trips are much more relaxed with the Tiguan's 4-year or 80,000 km Roadside Assistance warranty. The CR-V only offers 3 years of this important coverage, and that's worrisome since many people venture far across Canada with their vehicles. 

The Tiguan offers additional value. The optional third row provides extended seating for a growing family without the need to upgrade to a new vehicle. And the Tiguan still features hundreds of litres of cargo volume behind it when upright.

The Honda CR-V does not have a third row, so you will have to upgrade to a pricier vehicle if your family requires more than two rows of seating.

Overall, the Tiguan outpaces its competitor in adaptability, performance, and value, but it has many additional features that await your discovery. You can shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
