If so, we here at Group 1 Volkswagen of Panama City want to streamline the search for your next daily driver near Springfield, Callaway, and Panama City, FL. Below, you can see how two popular models, the 2021 VW Tiguan and the 2021 Honda CR-V, match up head-to-head!


2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Driving

VW Tiguan vs Honda CR-V: Performance & Drive Modes

One benefit of driving an SUV is having the power of all-wheel drive. Both models offer available intelligent all-wheel drive systems to give you confidence every time you take the wheel. The 2021 Honda CR-V offers an available Real Time all-wheel-drive™ (AWD™) system and the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan offers an available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system.

The VW Tiguan takes its all-wheel drive system a step further, however, with Active Control, which includes the following unique drive modes:

  • Snow Mode
  • On-Road Mode
  • Off-Road Mode
  • Off-Road Custom Mode

Whether you travel north for the holidays or enjoy exploring trails off the beaten path, you can meet the demands of the road in this Volkswagen SUV. Unfortunately, the Honda CR-V does not offer a comparable system with four drive modes.


Volkswagen Tiguan Seating & Sunroof

2021 VW Tiguan vs 2021 Honda CR-V: Seating & Cabin Features

The Honda CR-V comes standard with seating for up to five passengers, while the Volkswagen Tiguan offers two different cabin configurations. The two options are a 5-seat model and a standard 7-seat model with third-row seating. Those seeking greater flexibility will find that the 2021 VW Tiguan offers more than the 2021 Honda CR-V when it comes to seating arrangements.

Though both models offer leather seating surfaces, the Volkswagen Tiguan also offers optional V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces. This synthetic leather provides an element of style, while remaining functional for families because of its durability and easiness to clean. The Honda CR-V does not offer a comparable seating surface.

If you want to let more natural light into the cabin, you can do that in either model. The 2021 Honda CR-V offers an available moonroof. Once again, though, the VW Tiguan outshines the competition with its more expansive available panoramic sunroof.

VW Tiguan vs Honda CR-V: Infotainment

Inside the cabin of each SUV, you will also find useful displays through which you can access certain apps, answer calls, change the song, and more. However, one of these models comes with a bigger, more capable standard display and offers a larger touchscreen:

The 2021 Honda CR-V, on the other hand,⁠ does not offer a comparable Family Guardian Alerts feature.
