  2. Performance and Drivability

    Which one would you rather drive? Toyota RAV4 drivers command an extra 13 horses and extra torque -- compared to CR-V drivers.

    RAV4 engines generate 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This implies faster performance than the CR-V with 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque.

    You can step up to the Honda CR-V Hybrid and enjoy 204 net horsepower and 247 lb-ft of combined torque. However, when you step up to the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, you command 219 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of combined torque.

    Last but not least, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime offers the best output of all. It generates a whopping 302 horsepower to beat its siblings and the Honda SUVs.

  3. Fuel Efficiency

    Toyota and Honda are known for fuel efficiency. However, the Toyota RAV4 is able to pull ahead and stay ahead of the Honda CR-V and its hybrid.

    The RAV4 earns 30 mpg combined while the CR-V earns 29 mpg. The RAV4 Hybrid earns 39 mpg combined while the Honda CR-V Hybrid earns 37 mpg combined.

    Best of all, the speedy RAV4 Prime earns some 94 mpg-equivalent in combined driving. It is rated at 38 mpg combined just for gas-hybrid use. However, it can go 42 miles on electric power alone. That’s just not an option with the CR-V lineup.

  1. Utility Comparison

    How much work can the SUV do? These two are similar, but the RAV4 is clearly the stronger, more capable vehicle.

    The RAV4 has a standard cargo area of 37.5 cubic feet while the Honda CR-V claims up to 39.5 cubic feet. The Honda has an edge here, but it’s not significant enough to be a deal breaker.

    While the RAV4 claims a lower weight, it can accommodate a higher gross vehicle weight rating. It can handle 1160 lbs of payload versus just 918 lbs recommended for the Honda SUV. This difference in strength may be a deal breaker for those who want their SUV to handle big loads.

  2. Adventure Comparison

    How much fun are the SUVs? Both have the same recommended tow rating of 1500 pounds, promising the ability to bring along adventure toys and gear.

    What about offroading? The RAV4 has a ground clearance of 8.4 inches while the CRV claims 7.8 inches.

    There’s an actual RAV4 Adventure trim that’s meant to provide the sporty look and features that a driving enthusiast wants. The RAV4 TRD Off-Road is a proven trail rider with the ability to stand taller and go further than any Honda CR-V. Furthermore, RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Hybrids have special trail tools including awesome Falken all-terrain tires.

    When a gas-powered RAV4 LE is equipped with all-wheel drive, they have a multi-terrain select. This allows drivers to choose mud & sand mode or rock & dirt mode for off-road use. Hybrids have an on-demand electronic all-wheel drive system. Top gas trims have torque vectoring all-wheel drive for the most responsive off-road system.

  1. Trim Levels

    What about packaging? The RAV4 comes in six gas-powered models and 7 hybrid-electric models. This gives shoppers a wide range of price points and packages. The RAV4 Prime comes in two trims. That’s 15 ways to drive the RAV4.

    Offering far fewer choices, the Honda CR-V comes in three gas-powered models and three hybrid models. There is no Honda CR-V Plug in Hybrid.

    To learn what’s included on RAV4 trim levels, check out this new RAV4 overview.

  2. Dash Tech Tools

    The two cabins have today’s infotainment systems. Honda CR-Vs have a 7-inch touchscreen with a maximum 9-inch touchscreen upgrade.

    Offering better screens at every trim level, the Toyota’s touchscreen is 8 inches with an upgrade to 10.25 inches. Plus it has an available 10.25 inch digital display behind the steering wheel.

  3. Safety and Driver Assistance

    Both the RAV4 and CR-V have earned the five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Exclusive to the Toyota, the RAV4 has cornering brake control to enhance everyday driving.

    Although the systems are not identical, both the Honda and Toyota have a Toyota collision warning system with audio/visual warnings and the ability to detect stopping traffic, people and cyclists. Automatic emergency braking may intervene. A lane keeper can warn the driver and act to help the vehicle stay safely within the marked lines.

    Adaptive Cruise Control is standard on both brands of compact SUVs. The Full-Speed Radar Dynamic Cruise Control is the Toyota system. It uses cameras and radar to help maintain speeds over 20 mph on the highway. It can maintain a preset traffic distance.

    The Toyota system works with Lane Tracing Assist to help the RAV4 stay centered in its lane while the cruise control is active. Another Toyota asset is the Road Sign Assist. You’ll also find a blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert is offered on both brands.

Conclusion

No matter how you look at it, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 is a better deal than the 2024 Honda CR-V. That’s a very good reason to put it first on your shopping list.
