2020 Toyota RAV4 vs 2020 Honda CR-V

The Toyota RAV4 has never stopped evolving in recent years, and it returns in 2020 with even more equipment and possibilities, while maintaining its renowned reliability. Today, we compare it with the Honda CR-V, another popular SUV in the segment, but that has some shortcomings compared to the RAV4.

First, the Toyota RAV4 combines performance and efficiency with its choice of engines. Its standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. In the front-wheel drive configuration, it has a fuel consumption of 8.8 L/100 km in the city and 6.7 L/100 km on the highway. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels or four wheels, depending on the variant.

On the CR-V side, the power is lower with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops only 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Fuel consumption with front-wheel drive models is higher than RAV4 on the highway, at 7.0 liters/100 km.

The RAV4 Trail model is ideal for those who want to tow, with a capacity of 1585 kg. On the Honda CR-V side, towing capacity is limited to 680 kg.

But the Toyota RAV4 hides another trick in its bag. It is offered in a Hybrid model. With 219 horsepower, the RAV4 Hybrid is even more powerful and has a fuel consumption of 5.8 L/100 km in the city and 6.3 L/100 km on the highway.

Safety is a priority at Toyota

Toyota relies on safety in all of its vehicles, and the RAV4 is obviously no exception. With the STAR system and the Toyota Safety Sense active safety system, the Toyota RAV4 will keep you and your family safe in every situation.

The RAV4 has the Entune 3.0 system with navigation in addition to the Siri voice recognition Bluetooth system. The Honda CR-V centre touchscreen has a maximum size of 7 inches while the RAV4 offers a larger 8-inch screen in its superior variants.
