The Volkswagen Tiguan has long been a fan favorite in the SUV segment—plenty of power, ample cargo and passenger space, and an overall fun spirit have allowed it to race out ahead of the competition. For 2026, we now get a new VW Tiguan redesign, offering some welcomed improvements to an already praised vehicle. But how does it stack up to previous years? more For curious shoppers out there, we have you covered in this 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan redesign overview. Let’s look at the updated specs, performance, interior, and tech of this storied SUV to see if it’s worth checking out. 2026 VW Tiguan Redesign: Performance The new 2026 Tiguan packs power aplenty. Most trims come with a turbo 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 201 horsepower. The new, upper-level Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo trim ups the ante with a total of 268 horsepower, a welcome addition by any means. The standard transmission is an 8-speed automatic, which is smooth and easy to operate. When choosing a drivetrain, we recommend all-wheel drive for improved handling. 2026 VW Tiguan Redesign: MPG Since it hasn’t been released, there are no official numbers for MPG. However, we can look to the previous year and make some educated assumptions. The 2025 Tiguan gets up to 26 city MPG and 24 highway MPG, so it’s a safe bet we’ll see similar impressive numbers from the 2026 VW Tiguan redesign. 2026 VW Tiguan Redesign: Seating and Interior The overall size of the VW Tiguan redesign hasn’t changed, so we’re looking at the same interior dimensions. Both the front and rear legroom come in at 40.2”, which is plenty of room for comfort on longer drives. Up to five passengers will be able to fit in the cabin, so while it isn’t as large as the VW Atlas, it still provides ample space. The entry-level trims will likely feature cloth seating and the usual cupholders, climate control, and visors. However, the available features raise an eyebrow. Top trims will offer massaging front seats for those who like a little extra luxury. You can also add ventilation to the front seats for an added bonus. Head-up displays are becoming more popular and are an available option in the 2026 Tiguan. If you like mood lighting, the ambient lighting option is available, as is a power liftgate. 2026 VW Tiguan Redesign: Tech The 2026 Tiguan promises to be one of the most techy VW models to date. The base infotainment system is 12.9” and the driver info center is a 10.3” display. Want more from the infotainment system? Good news: there’s a 15” option available. There’s also a 12-speaker Harmon-Kardon sound system available for the audiophiles out there. As an added bonus, all trims benefit from wireless charging and multiple USB charging ports. 2026 VW Tiguan Redesign: Safety Rating Once again, because the 2026 Tiguan is yet to come out, it hasn’t undergone independent safety tests, but we can look at the 2025 VW Tiguan for inspiration. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2025 Tiguan with a 5-star safety award. We can expect to see many standard safety features, including: Auto emergency braking Lane assist Lane departure warning Adaptive cruise control Blind-spot monitoring Rear cross-traffic monitoring And more Reserve Your 2026 VW Tiguan Today Excited about the upcoming 2026 VW Tiguan? Be the first to get behind the wheel of one by reserving your preferred trim with Family Volkswagen of Bossier City.

Have you been searching for your next new Volkswagen vehicle to get around Bossier City and beyond? In the car shopping process, there are several factors to consider, including: The price of the vehicle The cost of monthly payments The features you want or need Is a car or an SUV better for me? However, one of the biggest questions that comes up is, “ Should I lease or buy a car?” Once upon a time, the only strategy was to purchase your vehicle and pay it off through Volkswagen financing options. Today, however, leasing is a prominent and attractive option for shoppers, and there are a number of car lease deals available. In this guide, we’ll go over the benefits of leasing a VW and how it can provide perks that financing a VW may not. Read on to learn why you should consider VW lease. more Perks of Leasing a VW: Updated Features Leasing a VW empowers you to choose a new vehicle with the amenities, finishes, driver assistance features, and tech that are fresh on the market. Every year, VW pushes the boundaries to make their cars more fuel efficient, more powerful, and more modern to make drives safer, more reliable, and more fun. Paired with the following point, every few years, you can upgrade to the latest and best options in a new VW hassle-free. Perks of Leasing a VW: New Options Leasing contracts usually last about 36 months (aka three years), though there are some shorter-term leasing options available. Regardless of the contract you choose, once it ends, you can begin searching for a new VW sedan or SUV with newer features. You no longer need to drive the same old car, as it quickly becomes outdated year after year. Perks of Leasing a VW: Fewer or No Repairs Because leases only apply to new VW vehicles, as opposed to pre-owned VW cars and SUVs, they’re fresh from the manufacturer and haven’t had any wear or stress put on the body, mechanical parts, or tires. As such, outside of routine maintenance, it’s unlikely you’ll have any major repairs to deal with. Not only that, but your next VW lease will be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, so if any big repairs do crop up, you’re protected, and things will be taken care of without you worrying about it. Perks of Leasing a VW: No Selling or Trading Troubles While it’s easy enough to value your trade-in using online tools, you never need to worry about getting a lower offer for your vehicle. Additionally, you don’t need to worry about trying to sell it on your own. Once the contract is over, all you need to do is return your vehicle to your Bossier City VW dealership and begin finding the next vehicle you’ll fall in love with. Perks of Leasing a VW: Lower Monthly Payments When you lease a vehicle, you’re only paying for the depreciation of the VW over the time of your contract. When you finance a new vehicle, you pay the full value of the car over its lifespan, often including interest rates when you finance, which increases the monthly payments. Because of this, you have the option to choose vehicles that you otherwise wouldn’t want to spend the money to purchase. In other words, leasing a new VW Jetta that comes fully equipped with the latest and greatest features will likely cost less month over month than the same model if you financed it. New Car Lease Options Near Carthage Whether you live in Marshall, Longview, or Texarkana, Family Volkswagen of Bossier City has a vast selection of new VW vehicles for lease at the best rates around.

So, with 5 excellent VW SUVs to browse, how do you pick the right one? Fret not, because that’s where we come in. Here are some key points to consider the next time you find yourself at our Volkswagen dealership near Shreveport, LA. more Volkswagen Tiguan Starting at $28,880 Up to 22 MPG city, 29 MPG highway Seats 5 to 7 The Tiguan is Volkswagen’s best-selling SUV, largely because of its spacious interior, solid selection of tech features, and affordable sticker price. It’s powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and comes with either front-wheel drive or 4MOTION® all-wheel drive. The drivetrain determines more than just acceleration and dynamics, though—FWD-equipped Tiguan models come with three rows of seating for 7, while the AWD Tiguan gets a two-row layout that seats 5. This gives shoppers the option to maximize either seating or storage capacity depending on their needs, and it gives the Tiguan an edge of versatility that few other SUVs can match. Standard tech features include the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, 8.0-inch center touch screen display, Bluetooth®, HD Radio, SiriusXM®, and Car-Net® compatibility with in-vehicle Wi-Fi. Volkswagen Taos Starting at $24,995 Up to 28 MPG city, 36 MPG highway Seats 5 The Taos is the most compact Volkswagen SUV, and also the most affordable. Don’t let its size fool you though, because it packs a lot of power and luxury into its modest size, and it has 99.5 cubic feet of passenger space. For 2025, the Taos’s powertrain got a significant update. The 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder now puts out 174 horsepower, which is a 19 HP increase from the previous year, giving it noticeably more pep without sacrificing fuel economy. Like most models, it’s also available with either front-wheel drive or 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, and AWD models also benefit from Driving Mode Selection and Active Control. All Taos models also come with dual 8.0-inch Digital Cockpit and center touch screen displays, as well as standard USB App-Connect®, Bluetooth®, and Car-Net ®. Volkswagen Atlas Starting at $38,200 Up to 20 MPG city, 26 MPG highway Seats 7 The Atlas holds the distinction of being the largest SUV on offer from VW, with three rows of roomy seating that feature plenty of head and legroom. In total, it boasts 154.0 cubic feet of passenger volume and up to 96.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third rows folded, making it perfect for family road trips. Powering the Atlas, we have a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder motor that cranks out 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Those solid power figures give it a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, which is plenty to haul small travel trailers, boats, and more. All models also come with Drive Mode Select with five different settings, and AWD models add a sixth setting for off-road wheeling. Thanks to recent updates, the Atlas also comes with some of the best standard tech features in the Volkswagen SUV roster. Amenities include a 12.0-inch center touch screen display, Digital Cockpit Pro, wireless device charging, six USB-C ports, wireless App-Connect®, and Car-Net ® compatibility. Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Starting at $37,190 Up to 20 MPG city and 26 MPG highway Seats 5 Take the power and high-end standard of the Atlas and present it in a sporty two-row package, and you have the Atlas Cross Sport. Like the Atlas, it’s also powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. It’s also capable of pulling up to 5,000 pounds when equipped with the right towing essentials, and it comes with up to six Drive Mode Select settings when equipped with all-wheel drive. It shares many of the Atlas’s tech features as well, including the 12.0-inch center touch screen, 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, wireless App-Connect®, and wireless device charging. The most important difference between the two is their size. The Atlas Cross Sport sacrifices its sibling’s third row for maximum comfort in the first two rows, with 41.7 inches of legroom in the front and 40.4 inches of legroom in the rear. It also has ample storage space, with 40.3 cubic feet behind the back seats, making it a bona fide adventure machine.

Thanks to its futuristic battery platform and dimensions, the ID.4 is deceptively spacious, with 99.9 cubic feet of total passenger volume and 30.3 cubic feet of rear cargo volume, which is roughly on par with the Tiguan despite its smaller footprint.

Folks everywhere are getting more and more curious about making the switch to electric vehicles. While they may not be for everyone, EVs like the VW ID.4 can be an excellent solution for many American families to end their dependency on fuel. On the other hand, traditional gas-powered SUVs like the VW Tiguan still command most of the market, and they may still be the best option for many shoppers in Bossier City, LA. If you’re looking for your next new car and you’re still on the fence about which kind of vehicle is best, this article is for you. more Propulsion System First, let’s address the most obvious and important difference between these two SUVs. The ID.4 is powered by Volkswagen’s MEB electric vehicle architecture, which is powered by either a single electric motor at the rear axle (RWD) or two electric motors at both axles (AWD). It also has two different available battery packs, an entry-level 62-kWh pack for budget shoppers and an 82-kWh pack for maximum available range. With the ID.4 Pro or Pro S and rear-wheel drive, this EV is capable of a max range of 291 miles, and with DC fast charging, it can go from 10% to 80% charged in half an hour. The Tiguan is motivated by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, and it can be optioned with either FWD or 4MOTION® AWD. Front-wheel drive models are capable of getting 24 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, making it a strong competitor among other SUVs in its class. Recharging and Refueling The ID.4 has a solid max range compared to other electric SUVs, but how does it compare to an internal combustion model like the Tiguan? It’s estimated that the Tiguan can go anywhere from 400 to 450 miles on a full tank, which gives it significantly more range overall. It’s also quite a bit faster to refill the gas tank than it would be to charge the ID.4’s battery at a public station, so the Tiguan has an advantage when it comes to cross-country travel. However, the ID.4 has a key benefit: at-home charging. With a level 2 charger installed at home, shoppers can easily leave the house every morning with enough juice for a long commute, a day of running errands, or even a short road trip. Charging at home is a far less expensive option than public charging, and it’s likely to save money compared to gas costs as well. Performance and Power EVs are well-known for their quick performance thanks to the nearly instant torque provided by the electric motor. In their review, Car and Driver noted that their ID.4 AWD was able to make it from 0 to 60 in just 4.8 seconds. The Tiguan is no slouch when it comes to acceleration, but C&D timed its 0-60 run at 8.2 seconds, so it’s clear which one is going to have an easier time merging onto the highway. The ID.4 also has more power overall, especially in its 82-kWh AWD configuration. It’s capable of towing up to 2,700 pounds, while the Tiguan maxes out at 1,500 pounds of towing capacity. Interior Space From the outside, the ID.4 is somewhat smaller than the Tiguan. It’s about half a foot shorter and an inch lower, but its unique battery architecture leaves a surprising amount of room inside for passengers and cargo. It has 99.9 cubic feet of passenger space, with 41.1 inches of legroom in the front row and 37.6 inches in the rear. It also has 30.3 cubic feet of cargo area behind the second row and a maximum of 64.2 cubic feet thanks to the flat-folding rear seats. On the other hand, the Tiguan gets points for its versatility because it can be configured as either a two-row (AWD) or three-row (FWD) model. This gives shoppers and families a fantastic amount of choice. The three-row Tiguan has up to 65.3 cubic feet of storage with the seats folded, while the two-row model has up to 73.4 cubic feet. Features For the 2024 model year, the base-level Tiguan comes with a 6.5-inch center touch screen display. All others get an 8.0-inch touch screen, and all models come with the VW Digital Cockpit, Bluetooth®, and Volkswagen Car-Net® with an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot. The 2024 ID.4 offers either a 12.0-inch or a 12.9-inch center touch screen display. It comes with all the features the Tiguan has, plus App-Connect with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and more. The Tiguan is set for a refresh in the coming model year, and we expect it to receive some massive infotainment upgrades, but for now, the ID.4 provides a far more tech-forward experience. Safety Two things that both SUVs have undeniably in common are their stellar safety ratings and their extensive list of driver assistance features. VW’s IQ.DRIVE ® features are standard in all trims across the board for both models. The driver assistance package in the ID.4 and Tiguan includes the following features: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Stop and Go Travel Assist (semi-automated driving assistance) Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring) Active Side Assist (Blind Spot Monitor) Rear Traffic Alert Lane Assist (Lane Keeping System) Emergency Assist (semi-automated vehicle assistance in a medical emergency) The ID.4 also comes with Park Distance Control, Park Assist, Light Assist, and Dynamic Road Sign Display. While these features aren’t included in all Tiguan trims, they are available. Price Because battery electric technology is relatively new compared to the classic internal combustion engine setup, EVs tend to be a bit more expensive, and that’s the case when you compare the ID.4 vs. Tiguan price.

When it comes to choosing the best family SUV, Volkswagen has a few contenders that provide you with reliability, comfort and space, and safety features to protect your loved ones as you drive in and around Bossier City, Carthage, and greater Texarkana. Before we dive into the top 3 best family SUVs, let’s look at a quick checklist to help guide you in your search. more Bossier City Family SUV Basics Make sure you have enough room for all of the family members. Large families should look into family SUVs with a 3rd row; smaller families can opt for a mid-size SUV. Look for the safety features you need. The more people in the vehicle, the more distractions you may encounter, and having certain safety measures, such as lane assist or auto emergency braking, can make all the difference in protecting you and your family. Look for the performance features that provide you with the power and handling your planned drives require. If you like to travel around Texarkana on camping trips, all-wheel drive is your friend. If it’s only suburban or city driving, you can forego all-wheel drive if you’d like. There are a few other pieces to consider, but these three should help you narrow down your search before visiting our Bossier City Volkswagen showroom located at 1975 Old Minden Rd, Bossier City, LA 71111. So, let’s start looking at the best Volkswagen SUVs for families! Volkswagen Atlas Starting off strong for larger families or for those who pack heavily, the Volkswagen Atlas is a 3-row SUV that can seat up to seven people comfortably. The four-cylinder, 269-horsepower engine gives you plenty of pep to navigate back roads and highways to avoid the fear of not getting enough torque to merge properly. With all seats filled in the cabin, you’ll have 20 cubic-ft. of storage for bags and miscellaneous bags, meaning no one will feel cramped even when you’re fully loaded for a trip. A 12” infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity gives you the power to listen to your favorite (or your kids’ favorite) songs while navigating with ease. You can also choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Safety features include: Auto emergency braking Blind-spot monitoring Rear traffic alert Optional lane assist And it comes with a 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Volkswagen Taos The VW Taos only seats five, but for those five passengers, everyone can sit and lounge comfortably, making it one of the best family SUVs for smaller units. The four-cylinder engine pumps out 174 horsepower, which is respectable and reliable for city and highway driving. Where it really shines is in the 28mpg for city driving and 36mpg for when you’re on the highway. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but for those who want to go off the beaten path in Texarkana, all-wheel drive is available. You’ll have a bit more space behind the back row with 28 cubic-ft. of cargo storage, and back seat passengers can stretch out with 37.9” of legroom. AN 8” infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay comes standard. Safety features include: Forward collision warning Blind-spot monitoring Lane assist Rear traffic alerts Along with these safety features, the Taos received 4 stars from the NHTSA. Volkswagen Tiguan Last up in our list of best family SUVs, but by no means the least is the VW Tiguan. This one sits in between the Atlas and the Taos in terms of horsepower, once again with a four-cylinder engine that provides 201 horsepower. The 2025 model has reduced the overall weight by about 170 pounds, meaning this model is a bit sportier than its family members. The 2025 model no longer has a third row but still offers a respectable amount of cargo space for smaller families at 12 cubic-ft. behind the back row. However, due to dropping the third row, legroom has increased. The infotainment screen comes in at 12.9” standard with an optional 15” screen available and comes with standard wireless charging options. Safety features include: Forward collision warning Blind-spot monitoring Parking assist Lane assist 10 airbags A 4-star rating from the NHTSA Test Drive a VW Family SUV The best way to find out which VW is the best family SUV for you and yours is to visit our Bossier City Volkswagen dealership located at 1975 Old Minden Rd., Bossier City, LA 71111, and take a test drive.

Are you looking for a used Volkswagen in Bossier City, LA? If you are, have you considered purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Volkswagen? It’s a used car, yes, but it’s one that has been thoroughly inspected to ensure it’s a quality vehicle. These inspections also ensure that you won’t have any surprise problems when you drive your used VW off the lot. Let’s go over the details of how Certified Pre-Owned programs work and why you should get one from Family Volkswagen of Bossier City. more All About Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Programs How Are CPO Vehicles Different from Regular Used Cars? A regular ole used car may not have been inspected, or if they have, it may not be to the same standard as a CPO car. You can find used cars with low prices listed in many places, including on websites like Craigslist. Even dealerships like ours have listings for used cars selling for under $20,000. But when you purchase one of these used cars, you assume a certain amount of risk. There are many great used vehicles out there, but since no one has examined any potential problems it might have, your used car could experience premature problems. With a Certified Pre-Owned car, truck, or SUV, dealership staff have examined over 100 points on the car to make sure that it won’t develop major problems. Additionally, CPO vehicles don’t just come from anywhere, unlike lots of ordinary used vehicles. Dealerships often acquire cars, trucks, and SUVs for their CPO programs from vehicle auctions, customer trade-ins, and other avenues that give them knowledge of the vehicles’ histories. That way, the dealership staff can inform you of a vehicle’s history through things like CarFax detailed history reports before you decide to purchase it. Certified pre-owned vehicles also come with a variety of other potential benefits, including extended warranty coverage, free vehicle history reports, and discounted service at the dealership. Are There Year and Mileage Limits for Certified Pre-Owned Cars? There can be. These limits vary from dealership to dealership, but CPO vehicles are often less than ten years old and have fewer than 100,000 miles on them. Again, that can vary between dealerships, but overall, CPO cars tend to a bit newer and have lower mileages than most non-CPO used cars. What Types of Volkswagens are Available in Our CPO Program? You can find many different Volkswagens in our CPO program. Are you looking for an SUV? Well, we have vehicles like a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. Would you prefer a sedan? A 2023 Volkswagen Arteon should fit the bill. If you want to know what our current CPO inventory looks like, click the link at the top of this post.

Cars cost a lot of money. Even an affordable ride like the Volkswagen Jetta is a major investment, and like any savvy investment, you’ll want to make sure it’s protected so it’s still worth something when you decide to sell it. Unfortunately, depreciation is just a fact of life when dealing with cars. Still, there are plenty of things you can do to maintain and preserve your Volkswagen for better resale value. Here are some important tips to keep in mind for owners near Minden, LA. more Pick an In-Demand Model One of the major realities of the car business is that certain cars hold their value better than others. That happens for a number of reasons, including: How dependable a vehicle is How low the maintenance costs are How good the gas mileage is What standard features it has How practical it is for families Before you buy, you’ll want to do plenty of research into how well specific models hold their value, because this can help you find a vehicle that depreciates less over time, which means you may get more money when you trade or sell. Certain broad categories of cars hold value better too—for instance, SUVs like the Tiguan and Atlas are always in demand because they have plenty of space, they’re easy to drive, and they have solid fuel economy. Consider Buying Pre-Owned There are a lot of advantages to buying a new car, but they also come with a couple of drawbacks—one of the main ones being that they lose a lot of their value within the first year or two. Used cars, on the other hand, have already gotten past that initial period of steep depreciation, and this can make them a better long-term investment. Even a lightly used car with only a few thousand miles can save you significant money. If you want to find a used car that’s sure to have excellent resale value for years to come, you can also look into buying a certified pre-owned Volkswagen, which has been inspected and maintained to guarantee that it’s above average quality. Stay on Top of Maintenance and Keep the Records This one seems like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people visit our service department and discover that they’re 5,000 miles overdue for an oil change. Properly maintaining your car is possibly the single most important thing you can do to ensure it holds its value. Following the manufacturer’s recommended routine maintenance schedule for fluid changes, tire rotations, brake jobs, and everything else prevents mechanical issues and the associated costs of fixing them. You’ll also want to fix any minor electronic or cosmetic issues as they happen, because these small problems can pile up over time. In any case, always keep receipts for any work done to your car. Having detailed service records proves that your car is well-maintained, and this can give you massive bargaining power when selling. Keep it Clean Here’s another obvious one, but again, we often see it overlooked. At the bare minimum, you’ll want to make sure you’re having your car washed every two weeks or so—hand washing is best, but the drive-thru car wash is better than nothing. This keeps dirt and grime from accumulating on the paint and underbody, which goes a long way toward protecting against rust. You should also consider applying a coat of wax about every six months. Wax forms a coat over the paint and protects it from the elements. Keeping the interior clean is just as important. Generally, we recommend avoiding eating in your car altogether if you can help it, but messes are a part of life. Regularly vacuuming the carpet and wiping down any hard surfaces will prevent these messes from accumulating. You can also consider having your car professionally detailed once a year. Practice Good Driving and Ownership Habits Safe driving is another crucial way to protect your car’s resale value. After all, very few things are as bad for a car’s value as a collision, because this can result in wallet-draining repairs, higher insurance payments, and a black spot on your vehicle history report. The way you drive can also have an effect on long term vehicle health and resale value. Generally speaking, the more miles you put on the car, the more it depreciates. Of course, this often can’t be helped—you still have to get to work, run errands, and drop the kids off at soccer practice. Still, it’s a good idea to try to offset any excessive mileage where you can by carpooling, walking, riding a bike, or taking public transport.

Luckily, our dealership in Bossier City has a Volkswagen Service Center that delivers parts and services that will keep your VW running well for years to come. Let’s look at the reasons that you should consider using a certified VW dealership service center like ours for maintenance and repairs on your Volkswagen. more Why Use a VW Dealership’s Service Center? Specialized VW Training When you bring your VW to a dealership service center like ours, the technicians and staff have tons of training and practice in working with VW vehicles. They also have specialized tools and facilities designed specifically to work on Volkswagens.

It also means a quick turnaround for routine maintenance like oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections. Access to OEM Parts When you go to a VW dealership service center, they’re certainly going to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to repair your car. What are OEM parts? They’re car parts made by your car’s original manufacturer, which is Volkswagen in this case. These parts are made for your car’s specific brand, so they fit well and are often better quality than aftermarket parts. Aftermarket parts may work just fine in some cases, but they’re often cheaper than OEM parts, and this means their quality can be questionable. If you care about the quality of replacement parts that your VW gets during repairs, choosing a service center that uses OEM parts may be the best option for you. Prepaid Scheduled Maintenance Plans When you go to our service center, you have the option to choose Volkswagen Care.

With so many excellent compact SUVs on the market, it’s hard not to draw comparisons. Sure, one may be the SUV with the most cargo space, or the SUV with the best gas mileage, or the safest SUV, but is there a particular model that reigns supreme as a whole? We can’t compare them all here, but we can certainly pit one of our all-time favorites, the VW Tiguan, against one of the most popular SUVs, the Honda CR-V. Here are just a few reasons why the Tiguan is the best choice when you test drive a new car near Shreveport, LA. more Tiguan vs. CR-V: Price First, let’s talk about both models’ overall value. Volkswagen Tiguan Trims: S: $28,880 Wolfsburg Editon: $$30,995 SE: $31,580 SE R-Line Black: $34,580 SEL R-Line: $38,880 Honda CR-V Trims: LX: $30,100 EX: $32,350 Sport Hybrid: $34,650 EX-L: $35,000 Sport-L Hybrid: $37,650 Sport Touring Hybrid: $$41,100 It’s fairly close, but the Tiguan lineup begins and ends thousands of dollars less expensive than the CR-V. So, does the CR-V provide enough to justify its inflated price tag? Tiguan vs. CR-V: Interior One of the main benefits of owning a compact SUV is that it allows you an incredible amount of versatility in terms of seating and storage but also maintains the easy drivability of a smaller vehicle. The CR-V is a two-row SUV with seating for five, and this is the only available configuration. However, the Tiguan actually has two different seat layouts—4MOTION® all-wheel drive models get five seats, while models with front-wheel drive have three rows, which allows seating for seven people to fit comfortably. This flexibility gives the Tiguan a massive leg up compared to other compact SUVs. The CR-V has a maximum passenger volume of 106 cubic feet, while the three-row Tiguan has a total passenger volume of 124 cubic feet when all three rows are up. So, despite having slightly less cargo space, the Tiguan takes the cake for having the best interior dimensions. Tiguan vs. CR-V: Infotainment All Tiguan models come with an 8.0-inch color touch screen display, which also features physical knobs for those who prefer them. It has numerous standard connectivity features like multiple USB ports, wireless App-Connect®, Bluetooth®, SiriusXM®, and Car-Net ®, which includes security monitoring, emergency calling, and an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot. Volkswagen Digital Cockpit is also standard across all trims, and upper-level models come with wireless phone charging as well. Base trims for the CR-V get a 7-inch touch screen, while the top three get an upgraded 9-inch display. Standard features include USB connection, wired Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ and Bluetooth®, but features like SiriusXM®, wireless phone charging, and onboard Wi-Fi are only available when you upgrade to the more expensive trims, giving the Tiguan a distinct edge in terms of infotainment offerings. Tiguan vs. CR-V: Safety Both SUVs have an impressive collection of standard driver assistance features, as well as solid safety scores. Here’s a list of the standard features they have in common: Adaptive cruise control Forward collision warning Automatic emergency braking Pedestrian detection Lane keeping assistance However, the Tiguan has a couple of features, such as semi-automated driving assistance, rear traffic detection, and blind spot monitoring, that the CR-V either doesn’t have, or only has in higher trim levels. 2024 VW Tiguan for Sale Near Texarkana There’s no doubt that there are plenty of great compact SUVs out there, but if you want the best of the best, the Volkswagen Tiguan is the only way to go.
