2025 Volkswagen Tiguan vs Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4
The small SUV segment is as competitive as ever, and drivers from Fort Bragg and Southern Pines have plenty of options. To see how our favorite compact SUV at our Fayetteville, NC Volkswagen dealership stacks up against the competition, visit us today for a test drive in the new 2025 Tiguan. But first, see how the new 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan compares to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 and make the right choice today.
Performance and Fuel Economy
For a dynamic driving experience around Southern Pines, the VW Tiguan is tough to beat in the competitive small SUV segment. While the new RAV4 tops the Tiguan by a few horsepower, its torque is lacking, while the Honda CR-V can't compare at any level. The Tiguan uses its turbocharged 2.0-liter to deliver 201 horsepower with 221 pound-feet of torque. The RAV4 earns 203 horsepower but only 184 pound-feet of torque. The CR-V hums along to the tune of 190 horsepower with 179 pound-feet of torque.
The new Tiguan earns up to 31 mpg on the highway with the front-wheel drive version, compared to 34 mpg for both the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.
Interior Design
Volkswagen is known for making highly refined cabins with premium materials and smart tech joining helpful amenities throughout. The Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V boast similar interior qualities, but the new Tiguan really stands out with available third-row seats. This setup is only offered in FWD models, but around Fort Bragg and Fayetteville, you may prefer the slight edge of fuel economy, and the added passenger space offered with that version of the small SUV. Regardless of the setup, you'll love how the Tiguan offers more passenger space than the Toyota RAV4 in all areas, leading to more comfort and potentially more cargo room thanks to easily folding down seats in the VW SUV.

Safety and Technology
These days, every automaker rolls out its own set of infotainment features and high-tech safety aids. Most are similar, with many practically the same. But when you settle in behind the wheel of the new Tiguan and try out its 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and test out its drive aids, you'll love the sense of ease and calmness that comes from driving a small SUV packed full of smart VW tech features. Lacking on both the RAV4 and CR-V is the standard rearview camera washer system that maintains a clear visage with your Tiguan.
Reliability and Warranty
Three-year limited powertrain warranties are standard for most car companies and that's what you'll get with the new Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. Volkswagen, as ever, takes things further, giving you more value and a greater boost of confidence thanks to the four-year / 50,000-mile basic warranty, far besting the offerings from Honda and Toyota. Meanwhile, the cast iron engine block in the Volkswagen SUV tends to be more durable and far more resistant to high temperatures compared to the aluminum component in the RAV4.
