AMENITIES

When you spend hours behind the wheel, entertainment is crucial to help pass the time. Fortunately, both the VW Taos and the Honda CR-V keep your contacts and music within reach with their respective infotainment systems.

Keeping in Touch

On the VW Taos, you’ll find a 6.5-inch capacitive-touch interface that works with the infotainment system. With App-Connect integration for Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth®, you’ll be able to crank up the tunes or call your loved ones with just a touch.

On the other hand, the Honda CR-V makes a 5-inch color LCD screen standard, which only works with Bluetooth® on its base trim.

Elevate Your Entertainment

In either SUV, you have the option to upgrade the infotainment systems with larger touchscreen displays. For instance, you can opt for an 8-inch display in the VW Tiguan! On the other hand, the Honda CR-V's interface can be increased to seven inches. With an extra inch on the VW, you’ll achieve the greater viewing experience.

As mentioned, Bluetooth® comes standard on the CR-V; however, it can be upgraded to include Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. To access these smartphone connectivity features without an upgrade, choose the VW Taos.

CAPABILITY

When searching for an SUV, you must find options that put all their effort on the table. You need a vehicle with more than potential—you need an SUV that can exceed your expectations in various driving scenarios. You need the ever-capable VW Taos or the Honda CR-V.

Small Yet Mighty

If you work in the city or spend lots of time hanging out with friends downtown, you need a vehicle that can make navigating narrow city streets and parallel parking a breeze. One way to determine a vehicle’s ability to do this is by checking out its exterior dimensions, provided in the chart below.

	VW Taos	Honda CR-V
Length	175.8 inches	182.1 inches
Width	72.5 inches	73 inches
Height	64.4 inches	66.1 inches

As you can see, the VW Taos is a slightly smaller model compared to the Honda CR-V, and its compact silhouette is an advantage. Since it’s smaller than its competitor, you’ll be able to wind around tight corners and narrow streets with ease. Plus, with its shorter build, you’ll experience less drag on the vehicle as well.

Parking Made Easy

Parallel parking can be difficult, especially when a longer, bulkier model is in the picture. However, the VW Taos not only has a nimble frame, but it can also be equipped with available Parking Distance Control. This intuitive feature keeps an eye on all sides of the vehicle so you can park successfully.

On the other hand, the Honda CR-V goes without a similar parking aid, which means you’ll have to rely solely on your expertise when parking in tight spaces.

TECHNOLOGY

What comes to mind first when you think of in-car technology? If you said a central touchscreen display or smartphone connectivity, you’d be right on the money. However, the VW Taos and the Honda CR-V want to expand your idea of vehicle technology with their helpful and digital instrument clusters.

Your Digital Copilot

Speaking of keeping in touch with your surroundings, the VW Taos and the Honda CR-V both equip digital instrument clusters to keep you connected to your vehicle. You’ll find the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit on the VW Taos and the Driver Information Interface on the CR-V.

The VW Taos uses an 8-inch display that can be customized with widgets. When upgraded to the Digital Cockpit Pro, the interface grows to 10.25 inches!

What You Want to See When You Want to See It

Every driver deserves to see their most-necessary information when they want to. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro takes this into account by being fully customizable! It introduces three screen views and 21 different viewing options.

While the Honda CR-V system can provide vehicle information like turn-by-turn navigation on its display—just like the VW Taos, when properly equipped—it cannot be upgraded to a larger format nor can it be customized with widgets.
