Fuel-Friendly but Fun
The CR-V has a slight edge in fuel efficiency, with 9.1 L/100 km in the city and 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, averaging a combined 8.4 L/100 km. The Tiguan trails just slightly with 10.5 L/100 km city and 7.8 L/100 km highway, for a combined 9.4 L/100 km. Both offer turbocharged power, so while one saves you a bit at the pump, the other gives a stronger pull off the line.
Comfort and Space That Fits Real Life
Cargo capacity matters, and here both SUVs shine. The Tiguan offers between 1,065 to 2,078 litres of space, while the CR-V gives you a bit more at 1,113 to 2,166 litres. Both vehicles feature flexible rear seats, fold-flat configurations, and smart cabin layouts designed to make packing for road trips—or hauling Costco runs—simple and stress-free.
Safety You Can Count On
Both the Tiguan and CR-V come with six airbags and offer standard active safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keep Assist. The CR-V received a 5-star overall NHTSA rating, while the Tiguan holds a 4-star rating with strong side impact results. Both SUVs are built with rigid safety structures and aim to protect you and your passengers at every turn.
Tech That Keeps Up
When it comes to infotainment, both come well-equipped. The Tiguan features a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, while the CR-V gets a 7.0-inch screen with the same smartphone connectivity. Both include keyless entry, push-button start, and heated front seats, but the Tiguan steps ahead with available rain-sensing wipers, a remote trunk release, and larger standard wheels at 18 inches compared to CR-V’s 17-inch steel wheels.
