Check out our comparison between the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2024 Toyota Rav4!
Performance and Driving Experience
-
Volkswagen Tiguan: Featuring a 2.0L turbocharged engine with 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, the Tiguan provides an exhilarating drive with impressive low-end power. Its available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive ensures maximum traction in all conditions, giving you confidence on any road.
-
Toyota RAV4: The RAV4’s 2.5L naturally aspirated engine produces 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, but without the turbocharged boost, it lacks the quick acceleration and responsive handling of the Tiguan.
Interior Comfort and Space
-
Volkswagen Tiguan: One of the only compact SUVs to offer a third-row seating option, the Tiguan provides unmatched versatility for families and those needing extra space with bigger possibilities. The interior boasts premium materials, an advanced digital cockpit, and an intuitive infotainment system, elevating the driving experience.
-
Toyota RAV4: While the RAV4 offers a comfortable interior, it only seats five and lacks the flexibility of the Tiguan’s third-row seating. The materials and design are functional but don’t quite match the upscale feel of the Tiguan.
Technology and Features
-
Volkswagen Tiguan: Packed with cutting-edge technology, including a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, an 8-inch touchscreen, and available wireless charging. The Tiguan’s Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring ensure maximum safety and convenience.
-
Toyota RAV4: While the RAV4 also includes Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, its base infotainment screen is smaller, and the tech features feel less refined than those in the Tiguan. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 provides helpful safety features but lacks the premium feel of Volkswagen’s driver-assist technology.
Why Choose the Volkswagen Tiguan?
If you want an SUV with stronger torque, a refined European design, third-row seating for added versatility, and advanced technology, the Volkswagen Tiguan is the perfect choice. While the RAV4 offers solid efficiency, it can’t match the Tiguan’s performance, comfort, and innovation.
