Looking for a better compact SUV? Volkswagen redesigned the Tiguan for 2026, giving it more power, style, and standard features. The 2026 Honda CR-V is also a top-notch crossover, but it falls short of the Tiguan in several key areas. At Ken Ganley Volkswagen Bedford, we want you to have an SUV that you're fully satisfied with, so we're providing the following comparison to help you choose between these two models.
Performance
You'll have no problem passing other vehicles on the highways around Beachwood, OH with the 2026 VW Tiguan. It's available with your choice of two four-cylinder engines – a turbocharged 201-horsepower motor and a turbocharged 268-horsepower powerplant. Both these engines have plenty of muscle for your commute or longer journeys outside the city.
The 2026 Honda CR-V only offers one engine – a turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 190 horsepower.
Interior
You'll spend a lot of time inside your SUV, and the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan has a comfortable, inviting cabin you'll love to ride in. Its well-arranged cockpit is available with Savona leather, genuine walnut wood trim, and multi-color ambient lighting.
The 2026 Honda CR-V also has a pleasant interior, but entry-level models have too much dark grey plastic trim.
Technology
A well-equipped infotainment system helps you stay entertained and engaged, even on longer trips outside of Chagrin Falls, OH. The 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A wireless device charging pad is also standard. An available 15-inch touchscreen in SEL R-Line trims is even easier to see and use.
The 2026 Honda CR-V only offers a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen.
Safety
You and your family's safety is priceless, so Volkswagen made the IQ.DRIVE safety suite standard in each 2026 Tiguan. This package has seven driver assistance features to watch out for you on the streets of Cleveland, including blind-spot intervention and emergency assist, which can detect an unresponsive driver and bring the Tiguan to a safe stop.
The 2026 Honda CR-V only comes with three standard advanced active safety features, and emergency assist is not available.
