2018 Volkswagen Tiguan vs 2018 Toyota RAV4

2018 VW Tiguan vs 2018 Toyota RAV4: Which compact SUV is better?

Another advantage of the 2018 Tiguan is its spacious and versatile interior. In front-wheel-drive Tiguan models, three rows of seating are standard, including a second-row bench that can recline, slide seven inches fore and aft, fold down, and be split 40/20/40. The 50/50 split third-row provides seating for two, and also folds down. When configured with Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive technology, the 2018 Tiguan comes standard with two rows and a third row is optional. Also, in the cargo area, tie-down hooks help keep things in place and a 12-volt outlet is included.

While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it's hard not to be impressed with the stylish new design of the 2018 Tiguan. It utilizes Volkswagen's award-winning MQB architecture, which allows for a wider and lower stance than the previous model. The Tiguan’s expanded dimensions give it one of the longest footprints in the segment, although it still remains nimble enough to excel in urban driving. The combination of this with sharper character lines and the vehicle’s LED lighting give the new Tiguan a striking new look. The exterior design of the Tiguan also emphasizes ruggedness, with a 3-degree departure angle and 7.9 inches of ground clearance, along with standard roof rails.
