The Competition Heats Up: Honda CR-V vs. Toyota RAV4

In a notoriously close battle, competitive pricing, smart packaging of comfort and technology features, and the hybrid engine's availability place the Honda CR-V clearly over the edge and into the higher rank over the Toyota RAV4.

Superior Handling Goes to the Honda CR-V

Although the actual data and numbers breaking down fuel efficiency, mileage, and time from 0-60 miles per hour are almost negligible, test driving the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 gives you a clear indication of which SUV has the superior handling. The Honda CR-V is fine-tuned so that the transitions between gears is smooth and highly responsive, making for a fun drive so you can take the scenic route between Dover, NH, and Hampton, NH. With a solid brake feel and a suite of safety features that comes standard at all trim levels, you will feel secure in the Honda CR-V.

It's All In the Details

Safety features, like Road Departure Mitigation System, are not the only things that the Toyota RAV4 leaves for higher trim levels if it's even available. The Honda CR-V includes all the safety features in their Honda Sensing® Safety & Driver-Assistive Technologies at all trim levels. No matter which trim level you decide on, you know you won't be giving up any of the safety features. The Honda CR-V offers more interior room that puts it more in the mid-size category rather than a compact SUV. It offers 102.9 cubic feet of passenger room versus the Toyota RAV4's 98.9 cubic feet. There is more leg room for passengers in a Honda CR-V and more cargo space with 75.8 cubic feet versus the Toyota RAV4's 69.8 cubic feet.

Little luxuries like heated front seats, remote engine start, and walk-away auto-lock start at lower trim levels in the Honda CR-V, so there is more value for you. The controls are generally more intuitive in the Honda CR-V, which trades the tougher Toyota RAV4's shift knob for more precise gear buttons that respond instantly. The overall ambiance when you are sitting in a Honda CR-V feels more like everyday luxury with the wood paneling and an elevated styling that puts it above the more outdoor ruggedness of the Toyota RAV4.

Upping the Hybrid Engine

Even though the Toyota RAV4 came onto the scene with their hybrid engine earlier, the rollout of the Honda CR-V Hybrid proves that Honda does it better. The feel of the engine is much smoother with a transmission that is hardly noticeable. The Honda CR-V Hybrid also boosts the gas engine for a combined 212 horsepower, which adds even more power, so getting up to speed is a breeze. It can go the extra distance on the electric engine before the gas engine kicks in. You can cruise guilt-free on the scenic route through Portsmouth, NH, or explore around Exeter, NH. The hybrid engine is no longer the clunky predecessor of the past; it's a fine-tuned machine with an intuitiveness that leaves you in control. The Honda CR-V is more fun to drive with its compliant suspension and smooth transmission.
