Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V - How Do These SUVs Compare?

When it comes to choosing a dynamic and reliable two-row compact SUV, drivers around Wayne NJ and West Caldwell have a pair of great options to choose from. Both the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 have been financed and leased by drivers across New Jersey thanks to their accessible nature, affordability, and practicality.

Both SUVs are strong in their own right, so what it most comes down to are your personal preferences.

Performance

In terms of performance, the Toyota RAV4 holds a slight advantage in both horsepower and torque. However, the Honda CR-V comes with a more sophisticated continuously variable transmission (CVT) than the RAV4's eight-speed automatic.

Cargo Space

When it comes to cargo capacity, the Honda CR-V holds the advantage. This is true for both the space behind the back row, as well as, the total cargo capacity. Where the RAV4 holds an advantage, is that its unique body design allows it to have a wider opening to easily fit heftier objects with more girth.

Ground Clearance

When it comes to choosing a compact SUV with the ability to off-road, ground clearance plays a major role. The RAV4 gets the advantage in ground clearance, though the Honda CR-V comes standard with larger 18-inch wheels compared to the RAV4's 17-inch ones.

Interior Space

Being compact SUVs, the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 have the unique challenge in making the most out of their seemingly tight confines. In the end, the Honda CR-V narrowly edges out the Toyota RAV4 when it comes to interior space.

Infotainment and Technology Features

If you're one of the many drivers around Bernardsville or Parsippany that love having the latest technology, the Toyota RAV4 is the model for you. Its standard infotainment system comes preloaded with many amazing features, especially compared to the Honda CR-V. The Honda CR-V offers many of the same features, they just come on higher trim levels.
