Toyota RAV4 vs Volkswagen Tiguan
For the all-new #Toyota #RAV4, designers kept in mind design elements of Adventure and Refined to allow owners to get up and go in their RAV4, no matter the time or place. An emphasis was placed on maximizing the presence of a small SUV while maintaining high levels of finesse inside and out.
Each body panel has a sophisticated twist to it, with a chiseled appearance that is a perfect combination of athleticism and charisma. The stronger nose leads into a more dynamic profile, robust shoulders, and available 19-inch wheels, making for a powerful stance ready to tackle any road, any time.
The power source for Toyota RAV4's driving abilities comes from one of two powertrains:
Dynamic Force 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine with VVT-iE mated to an 8-speed Direct-Shift Automatic Transmission, which motivates the five gas models
Dynamic Force 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) engine with Electronically-Controlled Continuously-Variable Transmission (ECVT), which activates the four hybrid models
Standard on all RAV4 Hybrid models, the Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) works in sync with the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine for an impressive balance of energy efficiency and supreme power output. Performance-wise, XSE Hybrid is truly the "no compromise" grade thanks to its enhanced power and acceleration. When paired with its sport-tuned suspension having tauter shock absorbers and springs, RAV4 XSE Hybrid takes the throne as the quickest-and best-handling-RAV4 in the lineup.
The #MQB improves all aspects of the #Tiguan. The body proportions of the latest Volkswagen SUV are notably sporty, the design shows charisma in all respects, and the vehicle's weight was reduced by over 50 kilograms compared to the previous model with Euro-5 engines. A gigantic leap forward has been made in terms of the vehicle's interior space and boot space. For instance, when the new Tiguan is loaded up to the rear seat bench, it offers 615 litres of boot space; when the rear seat backrests are folded, this results in a cargo capacity of 1,655 litres, which represents an increase of 145 litres. Meanwhile, the engines are showing efficiency gains. A broad range of eight engines is offered; their power outputs range from 85 kW / 115 PS to 176 kW / 240 PS. The engines are more powerful, yet they are up to 24 per cent more fuel-efficient than those of the previous model with Euro-5 engines. The new 4MOTION Active Control system also makes it easier than ever to individually adapt the all-wheel drive to all possible use conditions. Thanks to the superior concept of the drive system, the Tiguan is designed for enormous trailer loads of up to 2,500 kg. Meanwhile, assistance systems perfect the vehicle's convenience, dynamics and safety. Online services add new service dimensions . App Connect lets the on-board electronics integrate all of today's smartphones of the #Apple and #Android worlds into the functional features of the infotainment systems, and even tablets become an integral part of the automobile thanks to the Media Control app. This has resulted in a Tiguan with which #Volkswagen is extensively redefining the A-SUV segment. The Tiguan is not a crossover between different worlds - rather it has created its own new and authentic SUV world. An SUV that satisfies all expectations - both on-road and off-road.
The new dimensions and proportions elevate the Tiguan from the previous model as well. It is now larger. At 4,486 mm in length, the new model is 60 mm longer, and its wheelbase has been lengthened by 77 mm to 2,681 mm. The new vehicle is 1,839 mm wide, which is 30 mm more than before. Meanwhile, its height was reduced by 33 mm to 1,632 mm. The Cd figure of the new Tiguan was reduced as well, thanks to numerous aerodynamic improvements.
The many different equipment configurations may be combined with a total of eight Euro-6 engines. In this class, Volkswagen provides a turbocharger, direct injection, stop-start system and battery regeneration as standard. The four petrol engines (TSI) produce 92 kW / 125 PS, 110 kW / 150 PS, 132 kW / 180 PS and 162 kW / 220 PS of power. The four diesel engines (TDI) produce 85 kW / 115 PS, 110 kW / 150 PS, 140 kW / 190 PS and 176 kW / 240 PS of power. The base engines of the new Tiguan are launching with front-wheel drive. All of the other Tiguan versions offer all-wheel drive either as an option or as standard. Compared to the previous model with Euro-5 engines, the four-cylinders engines in the new Tiguan are up to 24 per cent more fuel-efficient. Compared to the retired model with Euro-6 engines, progress has been made that results in fuel savings of up to 10 per cent.
