Volkswagen Tiguan vs. Audi Q5 vs. Honda CR-V: A Feature-Rich Comparison

Choosing the right midsize SUV can be tough, with all the options available to drivers of Union, NJ. Among these options, the Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi Q5, and Honda CR-V are a few top contenders. In this comparison, the team at Tom's Volkswagen of Union dives into the details of each vehicle, revealing how the Volkswagen Tiguan comes out on top.

Striking Design and Sophistication

All three SUVs boast sleek and stylish designs, but the Volkswagen Tiguan takes it up a notch. The Tiguan exudes confidence and modernity with its sharp lines, bold grille featuring LED headlights, and sporty 19-inch alloy wheels. While the Audi Q5 offers a touch of luxury with its elegant Single frame grille and the Honda CR-V has a more reserved look with its chrome accents, the VW Tiguan truly turns heads.

Spacious and Versatile Interiors

Each SUV offers roomy interiors and comfortable seating for passengers, but the Tiguan stands out with its optional third-row seat, providing seating for up to seven. The Audi Q5 and Honda CR-V lack this option, making the Tiguan more versatile for larger families or those needing extra cargo space. Additionally, the Tiguan offers the innovative V-Tex leatherette upholstery, which Kenilworth, NJ, drivers will appreciate is comfortable and easy to clean.

Impressive Performance and Fuel Efficiency

While all three vehicles offer impressive performance, the Tiguan has a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and an available 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. The Q5 has a 2.0-liter TFSI engine, and the CR-V has a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. However, the Volkswagen Tiguan perfectly balances power and fuel efficiency. It achieves an EPA-estimated 23 mph around the city and 29 on the highway, making it a great choice for eco-conscious drivers around Newark.

Advanced Technology and Connectivity

Each vehicle is equipped with cutting-edge technology and connectivity features. However, the Volkswagen Tiguan sets itself apart with its intuitive Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, offering drivers a customizable 10.25-inch digital display. Additionally, the Tiguan comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, while the Audi Q5 requires an upgrade for the Android Auto capabilities. The Honda CR-V offers a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, but the 8-inch touchscreen in the VW Tiguan offers a larger and more user-friendly interface.

Safety and Driver Assistance Features

Safety is a top priority for all three SUVs, but the Tiguan takes the lead with its comprehensive driver-assist components. Alongside the usual suspects like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, the Tiguan offers Front Assist, which combines forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking. The Tiguan also has the Park Distance Control system, which can help Springfield, NJ, drivers navigate tight parking spaces. While the Audi Q5 and Honda CR-V offer similar features, the Volkswagen Tiguan safety suite is more extensive, providing drivers with extra peace of mind.

Competitive Pricing and Value for Money

The Volkswagen Tiguan offers excellent value for money, with a starting price lower than the Audi Q5. While the Honda CR-V's base price is slightly lower than the Tiguan's, the Tiguan's extensive features, optional third-row seat, and performance capabilities make it the clear choice for those seeking the best bang for their buck.
