The Volkswagen Tiguan is a segment favourite because it deploys a clever mix of performance, style and technologies with plenty of space for passengers. In fact, the Tiguan is much more versatile than all of its rivals in this regard, enabling large families to get where they want to go safely and comfortably. This year, it gets a series of enhancements that will please solo drivers, couples and families alike.

Here we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan with the 2022 Honda CR-V.

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan gives you better driving dynamics

Volkswagen cars breathe performance. That’s why the Tiguan gets the best in terms of powertrain. It is powered by a powerful four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with an output of 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission that is hooked up to VW’s standard 4MOTION AWD system fitted with a series of drive modes suited for every type of surface or road condition.

With a smaller turbocharged 1.5-litre unit that only dishes out 179 lb-ft of torque, the 2022 Honda CR-V is much less about performance. This engine is paired to a 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. Needless to say, there’s much less fun to be had at the wheel of the Honda CR-V.

A more welcoming interior with the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan

The Volkswagen Tiguan is classified as a compact SUV. But inside, it offers much more than its rival. Thanks to clever engineering and design, the Tiguan can be fitted with a third row of passengers. This bumps the passenger capacity to seven, letting larger families enjoy more space without having to upgrade to a midsize SUV. The CR-V doesn’t offer third-row seating and has a passenger capacity limited to five.

In terms of tech, the Tiguan is at the forefront of the segment thanks to the top-of-the-line equipment such as the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, Car-Net services to control certain features of your Tiguan remotely, and much more.
