When shopping for a small SUV, it can be tough choosing the right vehicle for your lifestyle. That's why we've broken down the features of the VW Tiguan and the Toyota RAV4 in our side-by-side comparison below. Check it out if you're interested in learning more.
2016 Volkswagen Tiguan Overview
The five-passenger 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan is available in S, R-Line, SE, and SEL trims. Each gets a 200-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission for an energetic, athletic highway ride and a nimble off-road performance.
Front-wheel drive is standard on each, though all-wheel drive is also available for increased traction control. Either way, the VW Tiguan is well-equipped for adverse road conditions and inclement weather.
If you're the outdoorsy type, the VW Tiguan offers a 2,200-lb towing capacity and ample cargo room to transport equipment without breaking a sweat. This also makes it a great choice if you have kids, since it offers plenty of space for passengers, backpacks, car seats, and everything in between.
The accurate, responsive performance on the 2016 VW Tiguan makes it easy to maneuver throughout Turnersville, Cherry Hill, and Mount Laurel, and its speedy acceleration adds a youthful, fun-to-drive quality to its handling.
2016 Toyota RAV4 Overview
The 2016 Toyota RAV4 is available in three trim levels: LE, XLE, and Limited. The RAV4 comes with standard front-wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission, and seating for up to five passengers.
Though the RAV4 is smooth and responsive on the highway, its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine only offers 176 horsepower compared to the 200 horsepower of the VW Tiguan. Additionally, the RAV4 only offers 1,500 lbs of towing, which makes it tough to haul equipment long distances. The 2016 VW Tiguan may be the better option when it comes to versatility, despite the RAV4's competitive fuel economy rating and reliable handling.
2016 Volkswagen Tiguan Safety
In crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan received a four-star overall rating. With its reliable and sturdy engineering, the VW Tiguan is designed to protect each passenger if the unthinkable happens.
Each VW Tiguan comes with a standard rearview camera system and an array of safety features, such as Electronic Stability, Traction Control, anti-lock brakes, and Brake Assist.
2015 Toyota RAV4 Safety
Like the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Toyota RAV4 comes with a standard backup camera. It also offers similar safety features and boasts impressive crash tests ratings.
