2019 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2019 Honda CR-V

If you’re comparing the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. Honda CR-V, you’re well on your way to choosing a great crossover for your drives around Arlington and Springfield. The CR-V is a good crossover, but in our book, the Tiguan interior features and standard equipment make it the better value. What’s more, with an available third row and great standard safety features, the Tiguan is an easy choice for the growing family with an interest in the compact SUV segment.

Dimensions, Interior Features, and Comfort: Tiguan vs. CR-V

So, why do so many drivers near Washington D.C. choose the Tiguan over the Honda CR-V? The answer isn’t all that complex, as the Tiguan offers an available third row, where the CR-V provides a maximum of five seats! Since it offers drivers the option to carry more passengers, we think it possesses a clear advantage over its rival.

As one would expect, the total passenger volume in the Tiguan is significantly greater than that offered by the CR-V. Here are some of the other factors that give the lush and well-appointed Tiguan interior an edge:

• The Tiguan base trim includes VW Car-Net® App-Connect as standard, and this smartphone connectivity interface offers both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto®. If you want to fully integrate your smartphone in the CR-V, you’ll need to pay for a more expensive trim.

• The Tiguan interior includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen as a standard feature in the base trim. The CR-V base trim only offers a 5-inch LCD screen, and once again, you’ll need to upgrade to access a touchscreen in the CR-V.

• Privacy glass is standard in the Tiguan. Although it’s a small touch, we think you’ll learn to appreciate it when the hot summer sun is beating down on your car in Annandale. You’ll need to pay extra to outfit the Tiguan with privacy glass.

The Safety Features You Need: Tiguan or CR-V?

• In the baseline trim, the 2019 Honda CR-V really only supplies the bare minimum. In addition to the brakes and airbags you’d select, the starting LX offers a standard rearview camera. The VW Tiguan also offers a rearview camera in its base trim, but unlike its rival, it includes standard integrated turn signal mirrors and heated mirrors.

• Most importantly, the Tiguan offers a superior set of optional upgrades, including a blind spot monitor and an auto-dimming rearview mirror, right from the start. To access the same features in the CR-V, you’ll need to upgrade to a more expensive trim level.

• In upgraded trims, both vehicles offer a forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, and front/rear parking sensors. However, only the Tiguan offers a surround-view camera.
