2026 Toyota RAV4 GR vs VW Tiguan Turbo // Drag Race + Review

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 GR SPORT ($price not yet announced) and the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan Highline Turbo R-Line ($48,995 starting in Canada, $43,935 starting in the US) are two sportier renditions of each company’s best selling crossover. The RAV4 packs a lot of punch with its plug-in hybrid powertrain, and the Tiguan is powered by the beloved EA888 engine found also in the powerful Golf R and even the Porsche Macan. But which crossover blends comfort, utility, and performance the best? And which would you rather drive on a daily basis? Thomas and James can’t wait to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode.
