At Riverhead Bay Volkswagen, our sales team is excited to help Long Island car-buyers customers discover the Volkswagen Tiguan. There are numerous trims available that can even be reserved online. Our dealership enjoys letting buyers know exactly how VW models compare to the competition at our dealership. The VW Tiguan and Toyota RAV4 are both great compact SUVs, but there are notable differences, so we've compared the Tiguan to the RAV4 for you.
Price, Performance, and Fuel Economy
The VW Tiguan has a starting MSRP of $27,000, at least $3,000 less than the Toyota RAV4 MSRP of about $30,000.
All Tiguan trims are equipped with the same powertrain: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that provides 184-horsepower, 221 pound-feet of torque, and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and has a fuel economy of 23/29 mpg (city/highway).The RAV4 also has one powertrain: a four-cylinder engine delivering 203-horsepower, 184 pound-feet of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a fuel economy rating of 27/30 mpg (city/highway).
Interior and Cargo Space
Both models provide a 37.6 cubic feet cargo space, but the Tiguan offers more interior space, seating up to seven passengers, compared to five-passenger seating in the RAV4.
Safety and Technology
The Tiguan includes loads of standard features, including the exclusive Volkswagen Car-Net mobile app with door locking/unlocking, remote start, parked location finder, and many other functions. RAV4 drivers get other features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, selectable terrain drive modes, and hill descent control.
The VW Tiguan is the Superior SUV
With this comparison, it should be clear to those in Long Island that the VW Tiguan is the superior compact SUV. The Tiguan is more affordable, has more seating, and offers more features and safety technology. The RAV4 isn't unappealing, but it doesn't beat the styling of the Tiguan.
