Volkswagen is known for its European engineering, and you feel it immediately:
Whether you’re commuting in Orillia or heading to cottage country, the Tiguan feels more solid and composed.
The 2026 Tiguan is one of the most advanced SUVs in its class:
The Tiguan delivers a modern, luxury-level tech experience, while the CR-V feels more basic.
Step inside both vehicles, and the difference is clear:
The Tiguan offers a near-luxury interior without the luxury price tag.
While the CR-V hybrid leads in city fuel economy, the Tiguan holds its own:
