| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 6.5 | 6.3 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 7.3 l/100km | 7.7 l/100km | |
|
The Honda CR-V is a better choice in terms of fuel economy based on user-reported consumption, although the specification shows otherwise. By specification Honda CR-V consumes 0.2 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Honda CR-V could require 30 litres more fuel. But when we compare the real fuel consumption reported by users, Honda CR-V consumes 0.4 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Volkswagen Tiguan. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 58 litres | 64 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 890 km in combined cycle | 1010 km in combined cycle | |
| 1010 km on highway | 1160 km on highway | ||
| 790 km with real consumption | 830 km with real consumption | ||
| Volkswagen Tiguan gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Volkswagen Tiguan engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 8 years | 6 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Honda FR-V | Installed on at least 8 other car models, including Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Sharan, Audi A3, Skoda Superb | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Volkswagen Tiguan might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Volkswagen Tiguan engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||

| The turning circle of the Honda CR-V is 0.2 metres less than that of the Volkswagen Tiguan. | |||
| Power steering: | Hydraulic power steering | Electric power steering | |
| Hydraulic power steering is technologically more complex, louder, increases fuel consumption and requires more servicing. It has the advantages of more power, less strain on the car's electrical system and better feedback (feeling) when steering. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 2`160 | 2`240 | |
| Safety: | |||
| Quality: | high | below average | |
| Honda CR-V has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data Volkswagen Tiguan has serious deffects in 70 percent more cases than Honda CR-V, so Honda CR-V quality is probably significantly better | |||
