2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK
PASSENGER VOLUME
PREDICTIVE FUEL OPTIMIZATION
You view your SUV as a trusted partner, one you rely on to tackle daily tasks. Naturally, you want a vehicle that always has your back. Will that be the Honda CR-V or the Toyota RAV4?
You prioritize safety above all else, knowing it’s non-negotiable. The Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4, known for their renowned safety suites, enhance your behind-the-wheel confidence with their advanced capabilities.
Honda Sensing® and Toyota Safety Sense™ each come standard and feature driver-assist amenities like:
While these SUVs share these features, the CR-V goes the distance with exclusive features like Traffic Jam Assist and a Driver Attention Monitor, which work with your defensive driving capabilities to ensure total peace of mind.
The safety advantages of the CR-V are recognized by prestigious organizations, such as the International Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).* The Honda CR-V was named a 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK, an accolade that doesn’t extend to the RAV4.
Your daily commute takes you across a variety of road types. Luckily, the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 are tailored to excel in all conditions since each has an available all-wheel drive (AWD) system. Each AWD system can enhance traction on low-friction surfaces, but the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control Systemâ„¢ of the CR-V provides enhanced capabilities.
Using advanced monitoring technology, this system can automatically send power to the rear wheels when conditions are met. When AWD isn’t necessary, it will engage 2WD driving, which can help enhance fuel efficiency.
Sadly, for RAV4 drivers, no similar intelligent AWD system is offered.
With so much time spent behind the wheel, you deserve an SUV with cabin amenities that elevate the driving experience. Between comfort and tech integration, the CR-V and the RAV4 will impress.
With your dynamic life, your SUV often feels like your second home. You deserve a vehicle that prioritizes your comfort and enhances your everyday journey. The Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 check this box with their available climate-controlled amenities, like heated front seats and a dual-zone automatic climate control system.
Despite this commonality, the CR-V offers you more of the interior amenities you need. Available features only offered with the CR-V include:
Active Noise Cancellationâ„¢ enhances the serenity inside your CR-V by using advanced technology to reduce road and engine noises. This creates a quieter, more peaceful cabin environment, allowing you to enjoy a calm and relaxing drive.
In today's world, digital access is a must. Each SUV allows for the seamless integration of your smartphone into your SUV thanks to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. Once connected, you can access compatible digital features on your phone.
Wi-Fi® capabilities, which are either standard or optional, enhance the digital experience, as does an available wireless phone charger that ensures your music won't end abruptly due to a low battery.
While you'll find the tech capabilities of the CR-V and the RAV4 comparable in more ways than one, the CR-V has a unique advantage with its 12-speaker Bose® premium audio system. This system offers more speakers than the RAV4 and has Centerpoint surround-sound technology for an immersive experience.
Your SUV must be able to keep up with your daily needs. While the CR-V and the RAV4 excel in versatility, you’ll find that one model redefines this trait with its exclusive capabilities.
Every day is different, and you expect your SUV to adapt to your ever-changing needs. While the CR-V and the RAV4 have various features that add a layer of versatility to your commute, the configurable seats truly make your vehicle ready for anything.
Honda CR-V |
Toyota RAV4 |
Advantage |
|
---|---|---|---|
Passenger Volume | 106 cu. ft. | 98.9 cu. ft. | A larger passenger volume means more wiggle room for travel companions. |
Minimum Cargo Volume | 39.3 cu. ft. | 37.6 cu. ft. | The CR-V provides more space for grocery bags or project supplies. |
Maximum Cargo Volume | 76.5 cu. ft. | 69.8 cu. ft. | A spacious cargo area allows maximum road trip supplies without leaving anything behind. |
The best part about the size of the CR-V is that this extra space is provided without being much bigger than the RAV4. As a result, the CR-V and the RAV4 are equally nimble, but the CR-V offers a more spacious and flexible ride.
The Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 embrace the future of driving with their available hybrid configurations. Though you'll find these eco-conscious models with either SUV, the CR-V's capabilities make it the more impressive choice.
The Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid trim level achieves an EPA-estimated 43 city/36 highway MPG rating in a 2WD configuration.** The RAV4 Hybrid LE trim will require more gas station trips due to its EPA-estimated 41 city/38 highway MPG rating.
These hybrid models have features built into them to help maximize fuel efficiency, including ECON mode with the CR-V and Eco mode with the RAV4. While they have this in common, only the CR-V can communicate fuel-efficient tips thanks to its ECO Assistâ„¢ system. A light bar will turn green when you're making efficient driving choices. When optionally equipped, it can provide predictive capabilities to enhance your driving experience.
There's no doubt that the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 deliver reliable, comfortable, and versatile commutes. Yet, the CR-V consistently goes the extra mile to offer more of what you need.
