#CoupleCarComparison
This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the Toyota RAV4 and VW Tiguan compact SUVs. The Toyota RAV4 comes with three powertrains, a gas model, hybrid and PHEV. In this comparison, we are focusing on the 2.5L 4-cylinder gas engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. FWD and AWD options are available. The Tiguan has a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. Standard AWD in Canada and in the US both FWD and AWD are offered. The RAV4 gets 8.4” of ground clearance compared to the Tiguan at 7.6”. The VW is 4.5” longer but it’s the Toyota that has almost an inch more front legroom. Second row legroom goes to the Tiguan with close to an inch extra and cargo capacity behind the second row is about the same. The Tiguan offers more overall cargo capacity, 3.6 cubic feet more space. The Tiguan also has the option of a 3rd row, but it is very tight and best for small children. The Tiguan has a higher starting price but it offers more standard features like a heated steering wheel and a digital cockpit with an 8” instrument cluster, optional 10.25” The RAV4 does come standard with a larger 7” touchscreen compared to the Tiguan at 6.5”. Both have an available 8” touchscreen, power liftgate, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, wireless charger, a moonroof for the RAV4 and a panoramic sunroof for the Tiguan. The VW offers wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and a passenger seat with a height adjustment, the RAV4 does not offer these features.
The Toyota gets better fuel economy at 9.4L/100km, 27 MPG city and 7.1L/100km, 33 MPG highway. The VW gets 10.6L/100km, 22 MPG city and 8L/100 km, 29 MPG highway.
The RAV4 has a bit of a utilitarian interior with large knobs and buttons but it is very versatile, well organized and offers plenty of storage. It comes standard with cloth seats, heated front seats, a 4.2” multi information display, a 7” touchscreen, Apple Carplay and Android Auto and a 6 speaker sound system. One up from the base model comes standard with a heated leather wrapped steering wheel. Standard on the top two trims is an 8” touchscreen, a 7” information display, Softex seats and ventilated front seats. On the top Limited trim is where all the extra features are including, an 11 speaker JBL sound system, heated rear seats, a wireless charger and mixed leather and Softex seats. The RAV4 does not come with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto or the option of leather upholstery.
The Tiguan interior also got a refresh with upgraded materials, new interior colour options with available two-tone leather and a third row for $800 CAD. In the US, the 3rd row is standard on FWD models, optional on AWD. This VW comes with quite a few standard features like a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, cloth upholstery, a Volkswagen digital cockpit with an 8-inch instrument cluster, a 6.5” touchscreen and Apple Carplay and Android Auto. One up from the base model Tigaun, the Comfortline trim in Canada and the SE in the US have the larger 8” touchscreen, a 10.25” instrument cluster, wireless charger, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, 8-way power driver’s seat, leatherette seating surfaces and door inserts.
The Comfort R-Line Black Edition comes standard with front and rear parking sensors and 30 colour ambient lighting. The top Highline R-Line model and SEL R-Line in the US have all the extra features like an 8-speaker Fender audio system, driver seat memory, heated rear outer seats, leather seating surfaces, a power passenger seat and ventilated front seats.

Went from a 2021 RAV4 XLE that was totaled to a 2022 Tiguan Rline black. I’ve had the Tiguan now for the same length as the RAV4 and I like the Tiguan better. My wife’s dream car was the rav4 but she also now likes the Tiguan more. I’m still a Toyota fan, but I’m impressed with VW and wouldn’t change my decision.
Tiguan is nice-looking, but RAV4 would always be the answer for most majority buyers in the segment
Good comparison review
Thanks glad you liked it!
I prefer the Volkswagen. But I will always recommend the Toyota. The VW looks more stoic, a much better looking interior and more elegant in the details. More classic, less trendy. Thanks for the video.
VW are more solid and definitely more athletic (which American don't particularly care for in a compact SUV), but its not nearly as reliable.
Everyone has rav4's its boring
The Tiquan has a "personality" and the Rav4 has none. I know people who don't care that much about the personality of their cars will choose the Toyota and that is a smart choice for them. For me, that interior noise level and bare bones industrial interior would drive me crazy. Thanks for another great comparison!
Great comparison guys! I really loved and enjoyed the video.
Personally, I pulled the trigger on a 2022 Highline R-Line Tiguan.
If I was in the market to buy, I might've gone down another route.
The reason why I'm leasing is to give time to prepare our household for the charging infrastructure costs. We'll be going for an EV and I'm excited to see what the market will be offering in 4 years.
Looking forward to future content. Cheers from Montreal! Happy new year to you both 😁
We just purchased a 2022 SE Tiguan brand new and looking forward to more family drives! Your reviews played a central role in our decision (we were open to pre-2022 until we saw how impressed you were with ‘22). Thank you so much for your help!
I'm going to test drive a Tiguan SE tomorrow! Great reviews you two ! Thanks !
I just purchased a 2022 Tig SEL rline in the US. I have the first 3 years of maintenance included with the VW care. I believe 2 years is standard on most. The features on the Tig are some that I have never had in a vehicle before and I couldn’t be happier with it! Prior i had a 2019 Jetta SEL and that was my first VW. They have met brand loyalty now. It’s a fun drive and I am clocking in with an average of 34mpg. Great video!
Drivability of Tiguan + Reliability of RAV4 = Mazda CX-5! You get best of both worlds! 😂
I was interested in the cx5 up until I saw how small the cargo hold is. That was the deal breaker for me.
Great reviews as always. One point of correction - on the 2022 RAV4, the larger of the 2 infotainment screens is now 9" up from 8".
I really appreciate your comparisons. Loads of info. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
In a perfect world, we would be on a waitlist for '23 Rav4 Hybrid with the refreshed interior, but our car was totaled last week and VW was the only place that actually had cars on the lot to sell, so we bought a '22 Tiguan SE and love it so far except for the MPG! I agree it is an "Audi-lite".
These are exactly the two I am down to choosing. Such a hard decision and y’all did a great companion- just need someone to push me in the right direction
My family is divided: my sis just bought a 2022 Tiguan; I have a 2017 RAV4. While her Tiguan is quite nice looking, especially the interior, I would have a hard time deviating from the renowned Toyota reliability. Can’t remember the last time I saw any Toyota being towed for some mechanical failure; but I do remember my BIL pushing his VW off the interstate when the engine quit for the last time. Not criticizing VW, just my observation. Agree with Zack; comes down to personal preference. But I’ll take the “industrial looking” Toyota interior and low cost of ownership any day.
Maybe when they become older vehicles the reliability becomes an issue but these are brand new cars with warranty
Great review. My wife and I just purchased a 2023 Tiguan Comfortline R-line Black Edition. 4 year lease matched with a 4 year warranty. 2 years maintenance paid for (and a third year added as a dealer incentive) made it easy to go with our hearts. Always felt Toyota traded away some excitement and driving fun for stodgy reliability and utility. But I felt the VW really offered the best of both.
I just bought the exact same Tiguan and I love it! I test drove the Rav4 first and I'm so glad I waited and test drove the Tiguan. The Tiguan is a much nicer drive and I love the interior. I had a 4Runner previously and was wanting an updated interior but no such luck with Toyota.
I’m a vw vehicle owner currently and I’ve been looking at these 2 vehicles as my next choice . I will say vw is reliable my car now has well over 200k miles on it so I can speak and say they’ll last long if you take care of the car ! I’ll have to test drive both to decide which I want .
If and when my 2011 RAV4 finally gives out I would definitely look at buying another newer one, as long as it doesn’t have a CVT. Volkswagen do make an engaging car to drive, BUT..and it's a big but, I owned three Volkswagens in the past and they all suffered from serious reliability and expensive service issues that left me cold on buying another. Toyota on the other hand has been Uber reliable and inexpensive to maintain and running. So if having all the bells and whistles is important to you go with the Volkswagen, however if you value getting in your vehicle and knowing it will get you from A to B with the utmost confidence, then you’ll buy the Toyota..like I will. Cheers from Nova Scotia.

MikeR cvt in toyotas are not that bad man from someone who owns one, they quite efficiently actually and you don't need to hit the throttle hard either
Would you buy a Bz4x? It looks a lot like a RAV 4 but is all electric?
Toyotas have been involved with lots of problems in the past 5 years, so I dont understand why People still think higher of Toyotas. Seems like 1 can fuck up and is excused, and the other gets dragged thru the mud.
@@bmw803 I guess it depends on personal experience. My experience is similar to MikeR. Pretty much no issues with my Toyotas for many years.
Tiguan! - after 2 Volvo’s and 2 Audi’s the driving, ride and overall comfort of the new Tiguan is simply superb.
Except for Hybrid and Prime, I would definitely choose Tiguan even if VW is notorious for poor reliability. I had experienced those first hands. While Toyota is definitely more reliable and hold its value better, it doesn't hold a candle to VW, when it comes to interior quality and driving pleasure. VW is best for those who will lease it for 3 years and return it back, just like any European brands. Toyota, as with most Japanese brands, is for those who want to drive until the wheels off.
The Tiguan is actually quite reliable.
@@paulschab8152 Can you elaborate? I am looking into the Tiguan, but alot of buyers have said how unreliable it is after about 3-4 years. I am looking to keep for 6-8 years.
@@Cicz477 I am in the same place as you....love the looks of the Tiguan but not the reputation as being unreliable. I'm also looking for longevity and thinking about the Mazda CX-5 but that back seat and cargo are so small!
@@Panagides11 I moved forward with the Tiguan and I have no regrets! It is such a smooth ride, the space is so huge and comfortable. Now, I'll have to see how reliable it can be.
Tiguan for classier look and more interior room. RAV4 for long term reliability. If I was getting rav4, I would get hybrid.
As much as the VW looks good but 100% Rav4 is my choice plus I love the mad rugged look of the Rav4. 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome video Andrea! Thanks for sharing. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
@@andreaspencer9813 I always enjoy listening both have to says about both vehicles. You are an very welcome Andrea! 👊🏻👊🏻
Thank you for the reviews.
I bought a 2018 Tiquan SEL back in 2018 when it came with a 72 K 6 year warranty after dieselgate. I currently have approx. 35 K miles on the odometer with zero problems up to now. If you are a do it yourself individual the maintenance on this car is extremely easy to perform (Oil and filter, air filter, cabin filter) and the cost of OEM filters and oil is very reasonable if you know where to shop. The drivability issues you mentioned are either not present in my Tiquan or I don't notice them. But I also don't expect my Tiquan to drive and perform like my 2020 Macan S.
If you like doing that sort of thing. Not everyone does.
Great video like always.
Here's the thing: Everyone's needs are different,but from a purely pragmatic perspective:
In 2022 the best choice for both the environment and rising gas prices are a hybrid. If you're going to buy a hybrid. You should buy a Toyota hybrid. With Honda as a close second.
I love that Toyota hybrids, like the one in my Toyota Venza have actual gearboxes instead of what most people consider an eCTV to be. There are no belts to wear out and since it's an electric all-wheel drive there's no drivetrain to maintain like that in a Subaru Forester.
No it does not shift like a standard transmission, but with the electric motor drivetrain the torque is nice.
I chose the Venza over the RAV4 because I felt like the RAV4 was kind of tired myself. I would definitely choose a Venza hybrid over a Volkswagen Tiguan any day of the week.
DON'T FORGET THE BANK OF TOYOTA. IT WILL HOLD ITS VALUE WAY BETTER THAN A VOLKSWAGEN.
Well said.
Thanks for the Awesome video guys! This is the first detailed video for the direct comparison of these two great Compact SUVs. Toyota is definitly up there with reliability but I would go with VW given the looks and driving experience.
Thank you for your coverage of vehicles to date! What is the model of the one that you sit in while reviewing the RAV4 and Tiguan?
We are sitting in our Porsche Cayenne.
Having come from owning a Volkswagen in the past to Toyota, yes I agree vw has better driving dynamics and a more premium feel, but all that fades with repeated trips to the dealer for warranty issues or being stranded waiting for roadside assistance. Five years now in a Toyota and it’s only been regular servicing with zero issues, but it’s not as engaging to drive 😔
That’s why you don’t own german cars outside warranty. They will always be better at drivability and quality. However, they over engineer, and with that, more things break. Japanese cars don’t break as much because they have basic mechanics, less moving parts, less things to break. Me personally, love the reliability of a Toyota, or a Honda, but will always follow my heart, which is german engineering.
If you just need the straight and level transportation, then its Toyota all the way. If you occasionally want a bit more sport, then VW.
Same though!
great points on both sides...matter of preference I guess...it looks like either would serve well..great comparison..
I like the exterior and interior look of the tiguan, but if I'll buy one I'd get the rav4. However, I would get a tiguan for a lease! Great review 👍
The Tiguan looks straight up sexy and classy.
The interior of the Tiguan R-Line is my favorite choice. The panoramic sunroof is also great & adds more light into the cabin space. ❤️
Rav4 Hybrid! Quiet, reliable and 40 MPG!
TDI Jetta, with nearly 50 MPG and can easily go 500,000 miles. 185,000 miles on my 13 TDI , meaning more miles in less time than Scotty's 94 Celica.
We have one tiguan and we are buying another one in a few days! I have also had three Toyotas. Love them both.
Really nice video and really insightfull, personaly I've took the rav4 out of my choice cuz the available third row of the tiguane is just too usefull for us on some ocasions.
I have a 2021 Se R Line Black and am very happy with it. There really wasn't any changes with the engine and transmissions except in the control programing, which could be reversed into the earlier ones if VW cared to do it.
Love the looks of the Tiguans but what are your thoughts of a Tiguan SEL R- Line compared to Mazda CX-5 Turbo???
Helpful review..
I had both. Had multiple issues with the RAV4 Limited, including the pain peeling from the roof and hood. Then the Tiguan. Will cost just a little bit more to maintain, but recommended maintenance by VW is every 16K. Toyota was 8K.
The driving dynamics and overall package would make me pick the Tiguan again.The better standard warranty also got you covered.
But I can’t deny that the Limited Hybrid version of the RAV4 would be my 2022 dilemma over the Tiguan R-Line. ❤️ versus 🧠!
which one is ❤
@@aleksandarmihaylov6884 R-Line no doubt. But story time will tell you that I got the RAV4 Limited Hybrid. 🤣 And we will (hopefully) see pretty soon how that « cablegate » thing goes… According to Toyota’s « investigation » on this matter and lack of official and clear coverage policy as of today.🤞
I got the Tiguan 2months ago and i love it. Rav4 is a bit small.
A 14 and 15 TDI , also a 19 Atlas in the family. All have been reliable . All have been strictly maintained .
Have had Toyota and Yawn boring to drive and reliable but not always as bullet proof as one might be led to believe.
I would consider trading the 15 Passat for a new Tig now that it's upgraded and has the drivability sorted out.
IDK still liking the 40-50 mpg of the diesel , still looks and drives like new. One warranty claim quickly taken care of.
4yr warranty is a plus on the new Tig. I have the last of the 6 yr on the Atlas.
TDI's are still under warranty per diesel gate and thank you VW for the 9k and 7.5k back to keep the cars.
VW has been good to us.
Oh yeah thanks for the very informative video.
I owned a 2009 V6 Rav4 and it was one of the most fun cars that I ever driven. I drove extensively all the Rav4 models since then and they are such a bore. The interior feels sad after a while. I would go with the Tiguan based on the fact that I now own a Golf Alltrack and it has been such a fun drive for the last 2 years/100,000km.
Bring back the RAV4 V6!!!!
Both are great cars and it depends on price that you have in your particular case. For example in Norway Tiguan plug-in hybrid is on 10000$ cheaper than RAV4 plug-in hybrid.
Between the Tiguan and Gas model rav 4?i would choose the tiguan based on looks and panoramic sunroof. Im not sure as far reliability IHS has them rated pretty low. I think ill go with the hybrid rav 4 though
I had a 2018 Tiguan SE and had for three years and it was one of the best cars I have driven. The only reason I don’t have it anymore is that I fell in love with the 2021 Arteon which I currently own
I have both in the garage currently, the wife's car (2019 Tiguan), and the company car I'm driving now (2020 RAV4). I'm shocked at how much cheaper the RAV4, and especially disappointed with the half a dozen rattles and squeaks that are present on the Toyota. There's also sharp edges on the door panels, and the gear shifter. I have zero impression of quality with the car, and can't wait until I get something else. No issues to report on the VW so far.
Both of the SUV's aren't great to drive, but the Tiguan is also far ahead in this regard. I will note I also easily get 6.5 - 6.8 l/100km on both for a drive to work, so they are about the same there.
VW really, really needs to bring the hybrid here though. I don't know what the hell they're waiting on. I don't want an ID.4.
So getting the vw ur best choice?!
I'm an absolute fan of Toyota. And I just love the fact that they are the leader of hybrid cars BUT they don't have any Hybrid Sport car, they stick with good recipes like we love. Toyota knows that Hybrids are good, but they don't want this in
their sport cars because it's killing the passion of a sport car. I just admire this brand
Among these two, which one offers a good visibility for shorter people?
I live in Chile. I had a 2019 automatic all space Tiguan. It was a great suv. Comfortable, elegant, quiet etc. Unfortunately I was assaulted and I lost it. Now I need to buy a new car. But here in chile the 2022 Tiguan starts at US$30k. While the RAV4 starts at $21K. I think that just for that I will have to choose the Toyota. Any suggestions? Thank you great Chanel!
Rav4 Hybrid beats what the Tiguan offers for me
One thing that he said was "Vw did a study saying that people who bought the Tiguan did not complain about the horsepower...Well yes if they bought it then the horsepower was not a determining factor to them, However people who drove it and did NOT buy it has a high probability that they felt that it could have been more Gti or Golf R like in the Tiguan body.
I can dismiss the power because I like the rest of the vehicle enough to overlook it, however it would be my only complaint.
Currently drive a 2018 Tiguan Trendline w/106,km. Waiting for our 2022 Tiguan highline R/line.
Repairs/maintenance over four years. - tires, brakes, oil changes, air filter, cabin filter, wiper blades. Fog light is burnt out (but won’t replace now since we’re getting a new car.)
Clearly none of these have anything to do with reliability.
I’ve had this debate amongst my car guy friends a few times. I look at it like this. If you want to buy a car that is based on its history of reliability, (but not currently) clearly not the most attractive of vehicles, less vehicle for your dollar, but want great resale value get a Toyota or Honda.
If you want to enjoy your driving experience with an excellent product while you shell out your hard earned money then in this case the Tiguan hands down.
RAV4 if you want to win the resale value debate.
Tiguan if you want to win the driver experience debate, which has a lot more to offer than just resale value.
Well I bought the Tiguan and love it.
Hi! Do you still love it? I bought a 2023 Tiguan a few days ago, and I have been hearing bad things about VW reliability issues and high repair costs since I bought it 😢. It won't be delivered for a couple more weeks.
@Ned Flanders I'm at 7200 miles on mine,almost time for first free maintenance,but I haven't had no issues yet,so yes I'm still loving it.
@Ned Flanders Yes I'm still loving mine,haven't had no issues with it,getting close to my first maintenance,but overall no issues.
@@tonymax68it tends to have issue after 5 years
It’s worth to mention that Toyota has added 9” infotainment screen and power passenger seat in higher trim RAV4 for 2022
When are the livestreams returning?
I tested both a Rav4 and Tiguan. Tiguan has a better warranty and drives so much better than the Rav4.
2019 Tiguan had electrical issue after issue. Digital cockpit was cool but now onto reliability
Toyota =reliability VW= refinement nice comparison video
Hands down the Tiguan! Gorgeous and Classy aesthetics ;)
Toyota looks so dated.
Tiguan. I have the 2018 tiguan limited. I can't let go of the 200 hp engine. May upgrade once they decide to go above 184 hp again. Mine also came with a 7 year warranty.
It is quite easy to upgrade the interior or overall styling, yet building reliability is a totally different story and VW does not have a good score on it ..
Why dont you consider 4/4 jeep compass 2021 model
Both are highly appealing to me. The Tiguan's fuel economy is not good enough, however. I'd get a RAV4 hybrid, and Toyota's reliability and durability would be a bonus.
Yes, RAV4 Hybrid is the one to get.
fuel consumption is one of the issue to consider, but not all
Volkswagen is expensive to maintain but lives are worth living and protecting for. With VW, you can feel secure due to the strong durability and solidity [with the help of ALLAAH] while RAV4 may top the chart on reliability but hit and miss when it comes to lives. Toyota products can be cheap to maintain but lives are not that cheap - not yet.
does anyone know why Tiguan in Canada have only 190HP and tiptronic transmission? I'm from Brazil and I'm shocked at Brazil Tiguan R-Line is super fun to drive using the same engine and same hp from GTI MK7 (220hp), DSG 7 transmission, fender sound system.. but I'm considering Tiguan here at Canada.
Tiguan is best… life is short and enjoy your ride!
At the Auto show today, I saw the Tiquan SEL R-line and no Rav4 comes close for me. For others who want the Toyota reliability; the Rav4 offers various renditions and
gas saving options on the basic car- even the Venza is a Rav4 variation, longer hood and extended cargo area, but same size interior.
I need reliability, but I will go for the Tiguan on lease as my Kia Sportage lease is coming to an end. I want to try something new from the Europeans as I know for sure, I will own an Asian brand for long term in near future!😊
I don't think we can do a straight like-for-like comparisons like this much longer - you referred to this when you compared pricing of hybrid RAV4 vs the Tiguan. The comparos will increasingly be around the price point, given the way every manufacturer is planning for all non-ICE line-ups.
I just signed for the 2022 vw comfort line with panoramic roof. Beautiful vehicle compared to rav 4. Rav 4 is just to plain
We have had tonnes of VWs in our family and maintenance has always been expensive compared to other manufacturers we’ve owned.
Haven’t had a new VW in a long time for this reason. If this is still the case I’ll stick with Toyota… which is not cheap, but more reasonable.
What do you expect? There's 10 x more Toyotas on the road than VWs
Nice the Volkswagen!!
I bought the Rav4 limited!!
I have a lifetime warranty on my powertrain from the dealer and 2 years free maintenance.
Sorry I will like to know the dealer please 🙏 thank you
@@gbolahanolaore9121 Boch toyota of Norwood Mass
Thanks for the great video.
I'll take any day the Toyota rav4 on the VW
Especially when it's coming to Reliable
Who would every turn around to gaze at their RAV4 as they walk away?? Tiguan please!
No chance I would ever own a VW/Audi again; worst purchases of any kind I have ever made. My 2010 toyota is still going strong 190,000 miles and only replaced front shocks and regular maintenance.
Love my '19 tiguan sel premium ❤
Great gas ⛽️ mileage, decent power, good visibility and handling, roomy and comfortable interior, quiet and smooth ride...
BTW - as for the single power train, I'm guessing it's a cost saving measure for volkswagen - they're more concerned with increasing market share...😊
VW is definitely reliable, solid built quality, luxury interior. Yes it is underpowered but it is family car not racing car. And it is all up to you that how you maintain your car and drive it. I had Mistubishi no issue at all, bought Honda tones of issue, Mazda amazing exp and got another one 2020 Tiguan also amazing .
I am on market for new suv. I have tiguan 4wd disel from 2017. I wanted awd hybrid. I was checking rav4 but interior looks worse now 2022 than my 5 yr old tiguan (I had digital cokpit). I would actually go with tucson, but I have to wait till end of 22 to get it. Actually I only found one rav4 hybrid available with I reasonably long waiting time. I would go for it, but that interior is so dough...:p
Vw makes real good-looking and great-driving vehicles for the money. Lease one new and the maintenance won't be an issue.
Tiguan looks much more classy
I need a car for college and I live in the mountains. I can’t get a hybrid because I’m not there year round and I really don’t see myself living there after college, so I’d get the Tiguan for three years and then trade it in for a hybrid when I move.
which year are these cars made? 2022 or 23?
Tiggy all day 👍🏼
Is the Rav 4 cheaper simply because its built in Canada?
That cannot be the reason because VW is paying workers pesos to build the Tiguan.
Give me the Tiguan all day. I am willing to spend a bit more on maintenance for a more engaging drive and a better looking vehicle. I love the way the Germans send a car down the road!
Can't agree more on: my heart goes to Tiguan, but my logic to Rav4.
I owned Rav 4 third Gen, like it for supper reliability but hate on its noisy cabin. I owned Passat which share similar powertrain with Tiguan and love it, but sold on 6th year without major repair (need to add a little bit oil though).
I now have a sienna and and Vw ID4. I like both brands for different reasons shown above.
For me, if I want non luxury reliable car, I pick Toyota, for Non luxury European car, I choose VW.
Didn’t they finally add height adjustment to the passenger seat on some rav4 trims?
Nope
@@Motormouth... hmm the limited has 8 way power driver and passenger seats so I figured one of those would be height adjustment but can’t find what the 8 ways are
Hate the Ravs 4 motor huge noise .
The Volkswagen tiguan much more quite and plesent.
I chose the Volkswagen tiguan with no any doubt.
I wanted the Rav4 prime so bad, but batted around getting the Tiguan because of its third row. In the end, I felt like the Kia Sorento Plug in hybrid gave me all of the things I wanted with the fewest sacrifices.
Toyota needs to get rid of the regular size sunroof and just make the panoramic roof optional in all trims. It's not fair that Toyota makes you pay a hefty premium just to get a panoramic roof. Toyota is a great brand hands down. But stingy with options... Everything has to be a "Come, On" with them.
Got to go with toyoto .
I am getting SEL-R, Question is incorrect, which one will you buy if you have enough money to have VW :)))
The mileage, repair costs and reliability kill the VW choice for me. I’m a Subaru fan…2011 Outback with 255,000 km and climbing, 2018 crosstrek 96,000km and climbing. It will take a lot to get me out of a suby. That said…we had a 2004 VW TDI that went 12 years and 300,000km. That was a reliable car…it hurt to get rid of it.
A lot of people have had major problems with Subies, too. I’m glad you’ve had good luck ...
VW is 7th lowest cost to maintain. Subaru is 9 or 10. Toyota is 1st.
RAV4 is noisy. I can’t recommend it although everything else about RAV4 is fine. Both are lacking in power but Tiguan is so engaging and fun to drive.
i believe RAV4 and Tiguan actually use the same AISIN transmission
Yes
Tiguan looks sharp, but how can you compete with the bank of Toyota!
Rav4 is simply boring...
VW Tiguan way nicer and Better tech, compared to RAV 4 it looks Premium 👍
RAV 4 interior looks so dated, Tiguan looks much nicer. VW fit and finish of interior is always so much better than any one in non luxury segment.
Can I just say, Andrea always looks very stylish. Now don’t tell my wife, she says I never notice anything. Haha oops! Ok you look lovely too Zack.
The one Big difference is Toyota was not part the biggest scandal in automobile in history.
You are thieve only if you get caught .
TOYOTA RAV4 😎👍🏻
