Modern Technology

Toyota Entune may be at the 3.0 stage, but it still feels hopelessly outdated. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto may be standard for the 2021 RAV4, but controlling them via Entune 3.0 is slow, unresponsive, and clunky. The 2021 Tiguan is miles ahead. The VW Connect infotainment suite focuses on simplicity and ergonomics. The results are clear, literally. The standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are snappy and clean without all the needless bloat and annoying sluggishness that you get with Entune 3.0.
