3 years ago I was looking into the SUV market. I did the test drive with the Toyota Rav4, Honda AWD. I ended up choosing the 2021 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD because it felt more comfy, spacious and provides better driving experience overall. After 3 years I feel happy with my decision and also runs great in snowy winters.
I just wanna thank the channel for their style of comparison!! I love the split screen view, literally showing the same parts of the two cars, at the same time, makes the best comparison experience for the viewer!
After testing both I picked the Crv. Rav4 engine and cabin noise killed it for me. aside from the horrible engine noise during acceleration the wind noise coming from the side mirrors at +80km is deafening. You know what the dealer told me, turn the radio up- I kid you not... If I didnt want a suv I would have picked the camry - by far the best bang for your buck
Just bought the Honda CRV And compared it with the RAV4. Everything they say is 100% true....the RAV4 Hybrid is awesome too. 40 mph. The Rav is a sportier feeling vehicle. however, I went with the CRV because I wanted more cargo space and a quieter ride. Also what Honda offered me on a price with my trade in ( a 2014 CRV ) and a huge mark down on sticker, I couldn’t refuse. Car for car, it depends on what is important to you personally. You can’t go wrong with either choice.
I actually drove these two recently. I was rooting for the RAV4, but walked away more impressed with the CR-V. The RAV4’s engine is annoyingly coarse and not as responsive as the CRV’s engine. I just hope Honda addressed the engine problems and I wish they would get rid of the CVT. In terms of ride quality, I felt like I was riding in a luxury car with the CRV. It’s way more refined than the RAV!
I looked at 2020 Volvo S60s before finally deciding I should be open to SUV/CUVs, and the 2020 CR-V drove like a Volvo. I thought I was back in a luxury vehicle again. I'm still in shock after discovering the oil dilution issue with the 1.5L engine, but if I only keep the Honda for a year, then maybe I don't care.
Honda fixed this issue in 2019.. You can get a 2020 or 2021 CRV just to be safe, but shouldn't be an issue any longer. It's a very rare complaint about the 2020 and newer CRV models and even in those rare complaints in didn't lead to any actual damage to the engine and I looked at thousands of reviews from Consumer Rpports, Edmonds, JD Power, Cars dot com, etc.. If it was a common issue still, there would be a lawsuit or recall and Honda would likely fix it, even out of waranty.. To be extra safe there is also a special oil you can use for it also, if it's a big concern, but if you're in an rare event that have this issue with yours, just get the dealership to fix it. It's not really a big deal after 2018... Honda worked hard to build its reputation in making very reliable engines.., they're not going to keep making them faulty to harm that reputation.
Well it’s not luxury by any means it’s a Honda..also 190hp? Are you serious what is that supposed to move? If you like your luxury car to be slow be my guess but the rav having 13-15 more hp is just that much better
I change my Honda CR-V 2020 by a Toyota RAV4 2021. Honda is not able to resolve the engine problem!! Fuel in oil. So, I am not recommanded CR-V. That’s it!
Something worth pointing out that I liked on the CRV is when you lay the back seats flat the cover over the spare tire can be lifted up with the seats making it all flush. Great for camping
@@tousshong9438 If you've done your research people have had many transmission issues with the new Rav4 even at 3K miles. Go to car complaints.com their transmission issue has been much more complained about than Hondas dilution issues
The thing is that both feature android auto and apple carplay, so infotainment systems are going to start being a lot more similar as more manufacturers adapt to people's phone technologies.
Ok, made a decision. I decided to test drive the RAV4 hybrid and I fell in love with it. It drives better than the gas version. I’m averaging 37 mpg. Had I gone with the gas model, I would’ve chosen the CRV. With the current CRV hybrid lacking a spare tire, I decided to go with the Toyota. I’m in love. I got the Limited with all the bells and whistles. It’s a joy driving to work every day.
Ok...3 months later...still loving my car. I live about 12.5 miles from work so my commute is 20 or 25 mins. I’m finding that I get gas just twice a month since I’m a homebody otherwise. BUT...if you’re a serious driver each week...I will say that the 14.5 gallon tank only lets me out in about 10 gallons. It’s not a big deal for a casual driver like me...but if you drive a lot you may find yourself getting gas more than you anticipated.
If I were buying a new vehicle today, I'd get the 2020 RAV4 hybrid. More horsepower, quicker off the line, great mileage, especially in town. My understanding is Honda will be selling the CR-V hybrid later this year, and the gas engine will not be turbo charged, for anybody worried about the oil dilution problem. Honda and Toyota are both great brands.
I love how easy it is to compare these vehicles!! You hit on every import aspect (to me) when it comes to looking and comparing cars. I can even look at your other videos and know I can also compare those vehicles too with your consistent car specs in each video.

Ray Karimi I have a 2005 Tacoma with 180.000 miles and still feels brand new and hve NEVER had a single problem ... I love this truck sooo much I bought a 15 yard sport for my son 2 yrs ago and the thing is amazeing ! He is really doin it up nice too .... I shld add the fact I do make sure to take very good care of them n get all maintenance suggested ....
I work at Toyota. I drive a 2019 Honda Accord. I love my car a lot and I do like the CR-V. I’d go for the CR-V because I rented a 2018 RAV4 from my job and a 2019 RAV4. The 18 was honestly so smooth, it was laid out very simple, VERY decent power for its size and tons of room. The issue is....the 2019 has a very jerky transmission and the engine is VERY loud inside the cabin. It also rides very rough compared to the 2018. This is just my take on things but I do like the CR-V a lot more than the 2019 RAV4.
I work for honda, I'd go for the rav4 due to I like the rugged look and also it's a NA so it's more reliable and its direct and ported injection (which u only see in the lexus) so you get best of both worlds for fuel economy. Over the turbo which can be very finicky due to producing more heat and if people dont do normal oil changes (which most ppl dont) can ruin the bearings n cause engine failure etc etc. And fyi the rav4 is a cvt. It just has a real 1st gear launch which goes in to full cvt. (Toyota did a real good job simulating) making it sound like a standard transmission.
zoomzoomgt Okay so you’re so very wrong most cars now are port and direct infected so they get the best of both worlds. Secondly, the RAV4 just like what its based off of, gets an 8 speed traditional automatic which is jerky and sounds like you’re shifting too early. Many people do keep up on maintenance became Toyota and Honda have maintenance reminders in their vehicles that tell you to see the dealer for an oil change or at least a rotation. The only Toyota with the physical first gear and then transitions to a CVT is the Corolla and Corolla Hatch. Trust me I drive them daily and you can even google if you don’t believe me. FYI I chose Honda because it’s more sportier than Toyota and usually last just as long. Honda builds reliable vehicles and has satisfied customers just as Toyota.
Dustin, I am trying to decide b/w rav4 & crv. I read a lot about oil dilution issues in crv but seem to have better interior space & less noise than rav4. rav4 (hybrid seems to be better) has more road noise. You being a tech, want to get your opinion. pros/cons of each?
Totally agree. I had 2 CR-V's and I would be going for my 3rd CR-V if they offered a regularly aspirated motor with a regular Transmission instead of that CVT. That's a deal breaker for me. I am going to the RAV -4 this time around.

@@LemonFoolala I know nothing about cars lol. I’ve heard the turbo engine is not good. Any thoughts? Definitely going to ask my mechanic and uncle lol.
Yes I got 2018 crv I wish I knew before buying those problems which is gas smell inside the cabin oil dilution (supposed go way new programming) ...I love style and looks but..🤷♂️needs to go back to 2.4 vetch engine ..
The RAV4's 'display' is smaller if you don't count the actual, practical, quickly and easily readable analog gauges, yes. There is a reason cars still have those.
@Grizzy Bear "toyota's are for old people" must be the shallowest and stupidest thing I've heard in a few years. If you judge people by what car they drive, you have some problems
I have a 2019 RAV4 in this trim level (it did come with a couple options such as the weather and technology packs) and I love it so much. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a SUV! It drives great and I feel so safe in it with all the safety features.
Stel Toronto you honestly can’t beat the Toyota reliability. I used to be a Honda fan but after oil dilution issues and the use of a CVT I had to switch! Also if you want more power, better fuel economy, and standard AWD for I believe 800 more the hybrid would be great! They extended the hybrid warranty that covers the battery and hybrid system to 10 years or 150,000 miles! Can’t beat that! I got my regular RAV4 in January of 2019 so no hybrids were available but I still love it! Gas mileage averages 30 with mixed highway and city driving.
I have driven one today. It's nice but small. For the same money I d rather get a used highlander or 4runner. They are more of a car and they would depreciate less vs a brand new one.
I wish Honda went with naturally aspirated engines. For that reason i would pick the Rav4. I know the rav4 have noisy cabin and a more rough ride than the honda. I don’t like the turbo because honda is trying to save fuel by force air. For the regular daily driver that won’t last long without really taking care of it.
FCS_Panda i would buy the rav4. You take a risk with toyota’s new transmission but i’d rather do that than the CVT transmission and turbo engine in the crv.
I like both suvs, Honda's interior and Rav4 exterior......can't decide which one to buy soon....my son tells me to drive them both and decide which one is comfortable for me .....
The CR-V edges out the Rav4 even though the Rav was a complete redesign and the CR-V was a REFRESH. Let's see what happens next year at this time when the CR-V gets a full redesign. Looking forward to it.
Ive driven both of them and you're right it is a hard choice. I think the fit and finish on the CRV is better. And in recent years Toyotas have become more fun to drive, they are almost starting to drive like Hondas. My only wish is both companies would offer the luxury features offered in the Kia versions.
My wife bought CR-V five years ago, no any problem, now my wife bought 2019 RAV4 with bigger room, no any problem. CR-V is not so powerful but power break is excellent but RAV4 not like that
My 2015 Honda Fit has a camera on the right side mirror that activates with the right turn signal. I like this safety item very much. I don't see this on any of the newer Honda models. Why did Honda discontinue this?
Both are good cars! Rav4 is more noisy when you drive on highway. I don't like the dashboard screen because is not even flush with... It is high like a set up flat TV screen in the front.
You guys can make comparisons on every manufacturer on the planet, Toyota is the Best made, performing, and reliable vehicle on the Planet! I should know I was a Master Toyota and ASE Tech.for 13 Years!
Ofc Bob My family owned a 2019 CRV. It was an EXL. We liked it, but the oil dilution problem was just a no for us. We start to notice the problem, when we could smell it from the inside. Then the problem just escalated from there. We decided to trade in the CRV for a 2020 Lexus RX 450h F Sport and we’re loving it! Never going back to Honda ever again. Only would consider Toyota and Lexus. The reliability In Honda’s cars is not what it used to be.
I'd like to see more data on vehicle repair history. Which one has more engine issues, exhaust issues, electronic issues engine code issues. All these things can quickly add up to a regrettable purchase despite the "comfort talk". Thanks
coll you are correct, I have a 2014 CRV and the engine/transm drive just like the day I bought it. Smooth 5 speed transm. And I get 27-28 mpg overall consistantly.
Toyota reliability wasn't so great a few years back when cars were speeding out of control and couldn't stop and the drivers were killed. They buried that one under the carpet.
Would be cool if you could do decibel levels at highway speeds, and u turn measurements. Good review. We looked at both vehicles and my wife likes the crv driving. But looks of the Rav. So we will be purchasing the Honda.
I trust the Toyota's automatic transmission and the naturally aspirated engine over the CR-V's CVT and direct injected (no port injection) turbocharged engine, and I am upset that the Honda's 2.4L engine is now gone. I am also excited for the new 2021 RAV4 Prime Plug-In with over 302 horsepower.
Nice comparison. It would have been much better if you could also add a night driving comparison in the same video. I noticed that you gave only 0.5 pts for Rav4 for having LED headlamp over CRV but it should have got much more. I own the new 2019 Honda CRV EX which I got last November and night driving feels like a hell in the CRV with the halogen headlamp. While Toyota Rav4 equipped with LED headlamp from the base LE trim offers much good visibility of the road during the night.
It was a hard decision but ...the CR-V has a really bad issue with oil mixing with gas with their 1.5 turbo engine so that’s a no no ...and we got us a RAV4
That issue has been fixed over a yr and a half ago and mostly happened in extremely cold climates and was attributed to people not driving and heating the motor up to proper heat levels, all motors make oil but it is removed from the oil thru the pcv and also all turbocharged motors make more oil then non turbocharged motors because of the extra pressure generated by the turbo onto the cylinders of the motor
@@reelnative01 that's not the issue at all what is the issue is the direct injection going into the motor isn't burning all the fuel than the fuel is getting past the piston rings and getting into the oil then you're a oil level increases and with that oil mixing with gas causes dilution
I’m a Honda fan. However I dislike the idea of cvt. I also have driven a rav4 for a long trip. The ride of the rav4 is amazing. Smooth acceleration and feels very light. One fact is that it doesn’t have as much tech as a honda and not as roomy
The CR-V had a problem with paraSitic battery drain. If not driven for several days the battery was dead. On the internet I read Honda said it would come out with a programming fix. My friend had his Honda die twice. Honda replaced the battery. Have they fixed the issue?
Interior space is on top of my list and when I sat on the Rav4, I felt cramped and uncomfortable. I love the CVT's smoooooth ride and the mileage because of it. If you add the heated seats (weather package) in the Rav4 it becomes way more than its supposed to compared to the CRV. The Rav4's exterior looks like an old jeep.
Both great cars, hope Honda has fixed the oil dilution issues. I prefer everything about the Honda, but I'd still buy the Rav4. They have proven to be the more dependable over time. I'd probably try to find a clean 2014 CR-V if I could. Maybe the best CR-V in terms of drive train. I think the new Mazda's are worth consideration as well.
One comment about the RAV4 is that it will very likely be in Eco mode test driving at the dealership. Put it in Sport mode and the acceleration is significantly improved.
Man I've been a Honda fan since my father told me even though he loved 5.0 Mustangs Hondas where better. My first car was a 1993 coupe Accord and the second one an Acura Integra. Then as life advanced I owned a couple Civics and an HRV. Thing is after all these years I changed to Toyota because of the fact I don't trust those turbo engines. I now just want my car to be as reliable as possible.
I have a 2017 hybrid CVT and a 2012 2.5l 4-speed. Hands down, the hybrid is better stylistically and has better power. However, I think the older rav has a sturdier interior, pulls a trailer better, and I like that the AWD can be activated manually with the convenient lock button.
Long time Honda owner here, but had to go with the RAV 4. Honda left me when they put a 1.5 liter turbo with aCVT and direct fuel injection in the CRV. No thanks.
I live in Australia, I pick up my new CRV next Thursday, tested RAV4, Tuscon, XTrail, Outlander, Forrester. The Toyota was a 7-9 month wait for delivery of the hybrid and 5-6 month wait on non Hybrid. Sorry Toyota, not good enough, hello Honda. Even had to wait 2 weeks for a RAV4 test drive, you gotta be kidding me. You didnt mention cargo space, Honda wins, and over here 7 year unlimited kilometre warranty, 7 year roadside assist and fixed price servicing for life of the vehicle. The Honda was also cheaper with a higher list of standard features over the RAV 4.
Drove both for extended periods, including the CX5, the CX5 was my favorite to drive but the Honda was the only one I could live with everyday. The cargo capacity was a a huge factor. The rav cabin is louder than my 2012 taco, couldnt do it....wife changes changes cars every 5 years anyways 🤷🏼♂️
Has Honda addressed the oil dilution issues in the 1.5T engines ? I have a 2017 Honda CRV EX-L with 22k miles and till now (knock on wood) don’t see any engine issues or maybe I don’t notice , so asking as an owner concerned with long term reliability
I'm in the market for a new CUV. I drove both cars and found some differences that your video does not mention. First: Door opening. CRV opens all doors to almost 90 degrees. This is very useful for people with strollers and physical disabilities. Second: Interior space. RAV4 feels claustrophobic with all of the reading instruments and dashboard almost touching your face. I'm a close to 6' tall and drive with the seats moved to the back as much as possible. CRV has a lot of leg room and the driver feels very comfortable with the space around him/her. Third: Gear box. I too don't like very much the CVT. I've been driving a CRV 2016 with CVT and got used to. Rav4 and the 8 speed gear box don't work well together. It's fine to drive the vehicles on back roads such your video shows, but driving in the city is a different story. The RAV4 has difficult in moving from a slowdown approaching the traffic lights to regain speed if the lights change before the car comes to a full stop. I've seen this comment on other videos and could verify that this issue really exists. Other than that, your video is very informative, and both cars have great quality.
I have a night vision problem. Which has stronger lights? as I can see, CRV has smaller front lights but unsure how other factors do. What’s your advice?
i would definitely go for the honda crv it has much better cabin,space,and the looks i find better. crv is also so much more spacious than the rav 4. it has better functions.
I have a 2017 CRV and it has several drive modes including eco, regular (handled by a button) and a shift gear for "Sport" which gives better acceleration. Frankly I just stay in eco mode because I get 32 mpg and I can easily accelerate around people at speed on the highway if need be. Are those features including in the 2020 and if so, did you try them?
Noah Czar Yes! Do you want to have some fun? Here is Scotty’s address. Look it up on Goggle Maps and the house next door (better side view of Scotty’s driveway from neighbor house) and check the street views. There it is! The Lexus ES, and the Toyota Matrix in the driveway. Also look it up on Zillow and you can see details about his house. It is: 1141 W Bell St, Houston, Texas. 77019. Have fun. ☺️
Thank to this video review it let me choose with car to get and I lease a Toyota RAV4 2019 and I loveeee everything about it. One thing i don’t like about the CRV is the Shift placement.
Toyota is noisy AF. I’ve been a big Toyota fan for years, but switched to Honda and I’m happy with the decision. Read a zillion reviews from both consumers and reviewers and Toyota falls behind the CRV and Mazda CX-5 in just about every review
Base on this comparison, I would choose the CR-V. However, my luck has been always put me on the short end of the stick. I absolutely do not want to stuck with the possibility of an oil dilution engine from Honda. I would settle with the second best, the RAV4!
About the oil dilution issue. I noticed it early soon after the consumer reports article and seemed to have been the first into the Honda dealer to tell them about it. I was worried for quite a while until they finally did a recall which seems to have fixed it. All the while they told me they would take care of me but that's as specific as they would get. I love the CR-V except for the lag time on take off and the steering wheel won't come down or back enough at all for me. I got used to it pretty much now. The steering anyway.
Nice comparison. We've have had priuses for years and the only negative of that car, as with other toyotas, are the seats. Most uncomfortable seats ever!! We would have purchased another Prius if it weren't for the seats. The Honda seat adjustments are great. In case you think it is just our problem the Toyota forums are full of complaints about seating and work arounds to make the seats more comfortable. And if you have any issues with your back forget it!! Get the Honda.
I will say that every Toyota that has "at least" Entune Audio Plus, then it has a built-in remote start. My 2019 Toyota Camry XSE 4 cylinder has the Entune Audio Plus system.I was unaware it had the remote start feature until I was watching Toyota Jeff's TH-cam channel. He demonstrated that every Toyota with Entune Audio Plus and above does have that feature. He is a senior sales representative for the dealership he works for in Raleigh NC. So yes, as long as the Toyota vehicle has Entune Audio Plus, then it does have remote start. Mark in Iowa.
Great comparison! I was between buying a CRV and RAV 4, went with the CRV because it had Android Auto and the main screen and controls were a more simple design lol Both are excellent and safe choices though :)
3 years ago I was looking into the SUV market. I did the test drive with the Toyota Rav4, Honda AWD. I ended up choosing the 2021 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD because it felt more comfy, spacious and provides better driving experience overall.

Same here! Love CRV's interior and plenty of space. I went for the Toyota, though, because Honda's prices are too high here in Mexico.
Trust me the rav inside is much more quality and just a better drive. The crv is very cheap feeling with loose steering and plastics.

I was a Honda fan for many years but I currently own a Toyota. Either one of these are a great choice.
I love both too!! But I also wanted to try other brands like Hyundai, Subaru, or Mazda
Wrong, the Honda 1.5T Motor will have issue before the Toyota does. It is currently still resolving the oil issues.

The real fact about Toyota, Owner dies before engine dies loL
Ray Karimi I have a 2005 Tacoma with 180.000 miles and still feels brand new and hve NEVER had a single problem ... I love this truck sooo much I bought a 15 yard sport for my son 2 yrs ago and the thing is amazeing ! He is really doin it up nice too .... I shld add the fact I do make sure to take very good care of them n get all maintenance suggested ....
Yeah, probably from boredom!!
Drove my 1991 Toyota Previa for 21 years. Dependability Plus
You got that right,100%
facts
I work at Toyota. I drive a 2019 Honda Accord. I love my car a lot and I do like the CR-V. I’d go for the CR-V because I rented a 2018 RAV4 from my job and a 2019 RAV4. The 18 was honestly so smooth, it was laid out very simple, VERY decent power for its size and tons of room. The issue is....the 2019 has a very jerky transmission and the engine is VERY loud inside the cabin. It also rides very rough compared to the 2018. This is just my take on things but I do like the CR-V a lot more than the 2019 RAV4.
I work for honda, I'd go for the rav4 due to I like the rugged look and also it's a NA so it's more reliable and its direct and ported injection (which u only see in the lexus) so you get best of both worlds for fuel economy. Over the turbo which can be very finicky due to producing more heat and if people dont do normal oil changes (which most ppl dont) can ruin the bearings n cause engine failure etc etc. And fyi the rav4 is a cvt. It just has a real 1st gear launch which goes in to full cvt. (Toyota did a real good job simulating) making it sound like a standard transmission.
zoomzoomgt Okay so you’re so very wrong most cars now are port and direct infected so they get the best of both worlds. Secondly, the RAV4 just like what its based off of, gets an 8 speed traditional automatic which is jerky and sounds like you’re shifting too early. Many people do keep up on maintenance became Toyota and Honda have maintenance reminders in their vehicles that tell you to see the dealer for an oil change or at least a rotation. The only Toyota with the physical first gear and then transitions to a CVT is the Corolla and Corolla Hatch. Trust me I drive them daily and you can even google if you don’t believe me. FYI I chose Honda because it’s more sportier than Toyota and usually last just as long. Honda builds reliable vehicles and has satisfied customers just as Toyota.
@@TodayWithDustin You a tech?
Ryan Littleton Yes.
Dustin, I am trying to decide b/w rav4 & crv. I read a lot about oil dilution issues in crv but seem to have better interior space & less noise than rav4. rav4 (hybrid seems to be better) has more road noise. You being a tech, want to get your opinion. pros/cons of each?
Cutting to the chase... RAV4; better power train. CR-V; nicer interior and quieter.
Totally agree. I had 2 CR-V's and I would be going for my 3rd CR-V if they offered a regularly aspirated motor with a regular Transmission instead of that CVT. That's a deal breaker for me. I am going to the RAV -4 this time around.
Jim Scimonetti .... I drive a 2010 CR-V with 190k miles. No reason to look for a new car. As long as no one runs it over.
Robert Dawson
Interior Honda sucks. Fake Wood.
Oil Problems!
T Smith ... not in my 2010 CR-V
Honda has better performance than Toyota as well.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! 😁
Can you tell me why you like the crv?

Yes I got 2018 crv I wish I knew before buying those problems which is gas smell inside the cabin oil dilution (supposed go way new programming) ...I love style and looks but..🤷♂️needs to go back to 2.4 vetch engine ..
you still got the dilution issue??
The RAV4's 'display' is smaller if you don't count the actual, practical, quickly and easily readable analog gauges, yes. There is a reason cars still have those.
Reliability and durability the reason why Toyota RAV4 is the top selling sub compact SUV in the world.
Grizzy Bear Hello “Raising King”
Honda's are for cool people 😎
Toyotas are for old people 👵 👴
@@Sf49ersJ exactly 😁
But it’s not
@Grizzy Bear "toyota's are for old people" must be the shallowest and stupidest thing I've heard in a few years. If you judge people by what car they drive, you have some problems
I have a 2019 RAV4 in this trim level (it did come with a couple options such as the weather and technology packs) and I love it so much. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a SUV! It drives great and I feel so safe in it with all the safety features.
Thank you .... I was debating between the two but you made up my mind . 👍😊
guillaume vu with the 2020 model they updated it to include android auto!
Stel Toronto you honestly can’t beat the Toyota reliability. I used to be a Honda fan but after oil dilution issues and the use of a CVT I had to switch! Also if you want more power, better fuel economy, and standard AWD for I believe 800 more the hybrid would be great! They extended the hybrid warranty that covers the battery and hybrid system to 10 years or 150,000 miles! Can’t beat that! I got my regular RAV4 in January of 2019 so no hybrids were available but I still love it! Gas mileage averages 30 with mixed highway and city driving.
I have driven one today. It's nice but small. For the same money I d rather get a used highlander or 4runner. They are more of a car and they would depreciate less vs a brand new one.
@@Ashleythemando Hey Ashley , that's what I'm looking for a hybrid so I made up my mind for 2020.
Thanks again greatly appreciated. ☺️
I wish Honda went with naturally aspirated engines. For that reason i would pick the Rav4. I know the rav4 have noisy cabin and a more rough ride than the honda. I don’t like the turbo because honda is trying to save fuel by force air. For the regular daily driver that won’t last long without really taking care of it.
Which one would you buy out of the two?
FCS_Panda i would buy the rav4. You take a risk with toyota’s new transmission but i’d rather do that than the CVT transmission and turbo engine in the crv.
I mean why wouldn’t you really take care if either one?
@Lunas Ra so which compact SUV would you buy?
i have a rav4 and honestly the cabin noise isnt even that bad.
Just got a 2017 EX-L CRV - it’s incredible and solid. I wish it had LED lights but that’s ok.
So easy to add led bulbs. Check out beamtech on Amazon. Had them in my Honda for over a year and was very simple to put new bulb in.
@@pobster88j94 Def! Its not a lost cause just to simply change a light bulb
I like both suvs, Honda's interior and Rav4 exterior......can't decide which one to buy soon....my son tells me to drive them both and decide which one is comfortable for me .....
We just bought a 2020 Rav-4.
Very satisfied with the purchase.
Thehighhorse I'm really close to purchasing a 2020 Rav-4 LE AWD Hybrid. Is this a good choice and may I ask which model you bought??
I'm just starting to shop. In the end, what tipped you to RAV?
The CR-V edges out the Rav4 even though the Rav was a complete redesign and the CR-V was a REFRESH. Let's see what happens next year at this time when the CR-V gets a full redesign. Looking forward to it.
I love Honda and I prefer most of it's interior but damn the Rav-4 looks way sexier
CRV for the win for me, you can’t go wrong with either choices anyway. Honda Toyota
CR-V is my choses the price the gas mileage the looks I think 🤔 that be my next SUV no doubt
Ive driven both of them and you're right it is a hard choice. I think the fit and finish on the CRV is better. And in recent years Toyotas have become more fun to drive, they are almost starting to drive like Hondas. My only wish is both companies would offer the luxury features offered in the Kia versions.
My wife bought CR-V five years ago, no any problem, now my wife bought 2019 RAV4 with bigger room, no any problem. CR-V is not so powerful but power break is excellent but RAV4 not like that
My 2015 Honda Fit has a camera on the right side mirror that activates with the right turn signal. I like this safety item very much. I don't see this on any of the newer Honda models. Why did Honda discontinue this?
They have them, but you have to go up trim levels. They don’t come with the base models
Both are good cars! Rav4 is more noisy when you drive on highway. I don't like the dashboard screen because is not even flush with... It is high like a set up flat TV screen in the front.
So proud of these comments. Do yourself a favor and buy the RAV4 Limited (weather package and all weather mats). It’s the best SUV
Honda, for me, but would take a Toyota as a verrrry close second.
You guys can make comparisons on every manufacturer on the planet, Toyota is the Best made, performing, and reliable vehicle on the Planet! I should know I was a Master Toyota and ASE Tech.for 13 Years!
Can anyone who has owned a 2019 CRV (in a warm climate area) comment on the oil dilution issue? Is it STILL a problem on the 2019's?
Ofc Bob oil dilution has been resolved on the 19+ models
In malaysia, which is a hot climate area honda 1.5T engine do not have that issue.
Ofc Bob Yes it’s a big problem
@@JJustinXu Are you speaking from being an owner? If yes, what model year?
Ofc Bob My family owned a 2019 CRV. It was an EXL. We liked it, but the oil dilution problem was just a no for us. We start to notice the problem, when we could smell it from the inside. Then the problem just escalated from there. We decided to trade in the CRV for a 2020 Lexus RX 450h F Sport and we’re loving it! Never going back to Honda ever again. Only would consider Toyota and Lexus. The reliability In Honda’s cars is not what it used to be.
I'd like to see more data on vehicle repair history. Which one has more engine issues, exhaust issues, electronic issues engine code issues. All these things can quickly add up to a regrettable purchase despite the "comfort talk". Thanks
Honda has had oil dilution issues with the 1.5L GDI Turbos. Toyota beats Honda for reliability. I am not a fan of CVTs either
Yep... unfortunate that they discontinued the 2.4L naturally aspirated 4 cylinder. This engine didn't have oil dilution problems
The CRV is the only two-stroke CUV on the road in America.
coll you are correct, I have a 2014 CRV and the engine/transm drive just like the day I bought it. Smooth 5 speed transm. And I get 27-28 mpg overall consistantly.
Toyota reliability wasn't so great a few years back when cars were speeding out of control and couldn't stop and the drivers were killed. They buried that one under the carpet.
@@xdemmons I remember that. It turned out to be a hoax. It was never true.
I would pick the cr-v only because i own a 2020 and I love it so much
Would be cool if you could do decibel levels at highway speeds, and u turn measurements. Good review. We looked at both vehicles and my wife likes the crv driving. But looks of the Rav. So we will be purchasing the Honda.
I trust the Toyota's automatic transmission and the naturally aspirated engine over the CR-V's CVT and direct injected (no port injection) turbocharged engine, and I am upset that the Honda's 2.4L engine is now gone. I am also excited for the new 2021 RAV4 Prime Plug-In with over 302 horsepower.
Nice comparison. It would have been much better if you could also add a night driving comparison in the same video. I noticed that you gave only 0.5 pts for Rav4 for having LED headlamp over CRV but it should have got much more. I own the new 2019 Honda CRV EX which I got last November and night driving feels like a hell in the CRV with the halogen headlamp. While Toyota Rav4 equipped with LED headlamp from the base LE trim offers much good visibility of the road during the night.
I'll take the Toyota RAV4 I drive a 19 model it's the perfect car for me hands down😊
Michael Johns I want the 2019 Rav4 XLE so much 🥺 hopefully soon
It was a hard decision but ...the CR-V has a really bad issue with oil mixing with gas with their 1.5 turbo engine so that’s a no no ...and we got us a RAV4
Ford escape would've been a better choice enjoy your Rav4 when that transmission dies and it will
That issue has been fixed over a yr and a half ago and mostly happened in extremely cold climates and was attributed to people not driving and heating the motor up to proper heat levels, all motors make oil but it is removed from the oil thru the pcv and also all turbocharged motors make more oil then non turbocharged motors because of the extra pressure generated by the turbo onto the cylinders of the motor
@@reelnative01 no it hasn't do you even know why its an issue to begin with?
@@reelnative01 real native? More like real dumbass
@@reelnative01 that's not the issue at all what is the issue is the direct injection going into the motor isn't burning all the fuel than the fuel is getting past the piston rings and getting into the oil then you're a oil level increases and with that oil mixing with gas causes dilution
I’m a Honda fan. However I dislike the idea of cvt. I also have driven a rav4 for a long trip. The ride of the rav4 is amazing. Smooth acceleration and feels very light. One fact is that it doesn’t have as much tech as a honda and not as roomy
I looove ass
I drove both and purchased the to Toyota. Feels better. It's my first Toyota. I use to be a Honda lover. But not this time!
Annie Cancel your decision :P
The CR-V had a problem with paraSitic battery drain. If not driven for several days the battery was dead. On the internet I read Honda said it would come out with a programming fix. My friend had his Honda die twice. Honda replaced the battery. Have they fixed the issue?
The RAV4 abstaining from LED turn signals is a huge plus because LED blinkers are blinding, even when dimmer than light bulbs.
???
Interior space is on top of my list and when I sat on the Rav4, I felt cramped and uncomfortable. I love the CVT's smoooooth ride and the mileage because of it. If you add the heated seats (weather package) in the Rav4 it becomes way more than its supposed to compared to the CRV. The Rav4's exterior looks like an old jeep.
Has your CRV started diluting oil yet?
Andrew M
No oil dilution.
Long term I'd go for Rav4. The CRV has a turbo, CVT, and small displacement engine.
I'm hoping that Honda will eventually offer a trim level with a 2.0 turbocharged engine and a bit more towing capacity.
Both great cars, hope Honda has fixed the oil dilution issues. I prefer everything about the Honda, but I'd still buy the Rav4. They have proven to be the more dependable over time. I'd probably try to find a clean 2014 CR-V if I could. Maybe the best CR-V in terms of drive train. I think the new Mazda's are worth consideration as well.
Good review. Suggest you add summary of advantages for each car at end of the video
One comment about the RAV4 is that it will very likely be in Eco mode test driving at the dealership. Put it in Sport mode and the acceleration is significantly improved.
Yes, good point. Found this to be true.
Man I've been a Honda fan since my father told me even though he loved 5.0 Mustangs Hondas where better. My first car was a 1993 coupe Accord and the second one an Acura Integra. Then as life advanced I owned a couple Civics and an HRV. Thing is after all these years I changed to Toyota because of the fact I don't trust those turbo engines. I now just want my car to be as reliable as possible.
I have a 2017 hybrid CVT and a 2012 2.5l 4-speed. Hands down, the hybrid is better stylistically and has better power. However, I think the older rav has a sturdier interior, pulls a trailer better, and I like that the AWD can be activated manually with the convenient lock button.
I gotta take the RAV4 over this CR-V even though I currently own a Honda product.
Long time Honda owner here, but had to go with the RAV 4. Honda left me when they put a 1.5 liter turbo with aCVT and direct fuel injection in the CRV. No thanks.
Very good review...we own Honda’s and Toyota’s. Hard decision here...it might come down to which one has the best dealership??
I live in Australia, I pick up my new CRV next Thursday, tested RAV4, Tuscon, XTrail, Outlander, Forrester. The Toyota was a 7-9 month wait for delivery of the hybrid and 5-6 month wait on non Hybrid. Sorry Toyota, not good enough, hello Honda. Even had to wait 2 weeks for a RAV4 test drive, you gotta be kidding me.
You didnt mention cargo space, Honda wins, and over here 7 year unlimited kilometre warranty, 7 year roadside assist and fixed price servicing for life of the vehicle. The Honda was also cheaper with a higher list of standard features over the RAV 4.
They did mention cargo space....
Drove both for extended periods, including the CX5, the CX5 was my favorite to drive but the Honda was the only one I could live with everyday. The cargo capacity was a a huge factor. The rav cabin is louder than my 2012 taco, couldnt do it....wife changes changes cars every 5 years anyways 🤷🏼♂️
Why am I watching this video ? I don't even have money to buy a push bike :D
u made me laugh out loud

You talk like a moron because you don’t own one yourself I have 2012 RAV4 all I do too that car is oil change only
I like the outside shape of Rav4 but CRV is much more quieter than Rav4. Test drive both before buying it you will see the rough noise in Rav4.
This was the most helpful comparison video I’ve seen! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed!
I would choose the rav4 .. great comparisson 💪
RAV4 no cr-v
Has Honda addressed the oil dilution issues in the 1.5T engines ? I have a 2017 Honda CRV EX-L with 22k miles and till now (knock on wood) don’t see any engine issues or maybe I don’t notice , so asking as an owner concerned with long term reliability
I have owned both Toyotas and Hondas, In the long run Toyota was much cheaper to maintain than Honda.
Thank you. This is relevant for me. I’m about to buy a car and could’t decide because I like both. Tks.
Exactly, in the long run more peace of mind with toyota.
I am very glad with my Toyota RAV4. I love it!
I'm in the market for a new CUV. I drove both cars and found some differences that your video does not mention. First: Door opening. CRV opens all doors to almost 90 degrees. This is very useful for people with strollers and physical disabilities. Second: Interior space. RAV4 feels claustrophobic with all of the reading instruments and dashboard almost touching your face. I'm a close to 6' tall and drive with the seats moved to the back as much as possible. CRV has a lot of leg room and the driver feels very comfortable with the space around him/her. Third: Gear box. I too don't like very much the CVT. I've been driving a CRV 2016 with CVT and got used to. Rav4 and the 8 speed gear box don't work well together. It's fine to drive the vehicles on back roads such your video shows, but driving in the city is a different story. The RAV4 has difficult in moving from a slowdown approaching the traffic lights to regain speed if the lights change before the car comes to a full stop. I've seen this comment on other videos and could verify that this issue really exists. Other than that, your video is very informative, and both cars have great quality.
I have a night vision problem. Which has stronger lights? as I can see, CRV has smaller front lights but unsure how other factors do. What’s your advice?
I don't know, we have the Crv and its great ! : Honda's best engine , cant be happier .
The best comparison I have ever found
Still love RAV4 better. CRV good too. Have RAV4 myself, but tried CRV too.
i would definitely go for the honda crv it has much better cabin,space,and the looks i find better. crv is also so much more spacious than the rav 4. it has better functions.
Honda bebe 🙌🏽
I have a 2017 CRV and it has several drive modes including eco, regular (handled by a button) and a shift gear for "Sport" which gives better acceleration. Frankly I just stay in eco mode because I get 32 mpg and I can easily accelerate around people at speed on the highway if need be. Are those features including in the 2020 and if so, did you try them?
Yes, the 2020 has those same drive modes. We did try them and there is not a great deal of difference between them

Base on this comparison, I would choose the CR-V. However, my luck has been always put me on the short end of the stick. I absolutely do not want to stuck with the possibility of an oil dilution engine from Honda. I would settle with the second best, the RAV4!
About the oil dilution issue. I noticed it early soon after the consumer reports article and seemed to have been the first into the Honda dealer to tell them about it. I was worried for quite a while until they finally did a recall which seems to have fixed it. All the while they told me they would take care of me but that's as specific as they would get. I love the CR-V except for the lag time on take off and the steering wheel won't come down or back enough at all for me. I got used to it pretty much now. The steering anyway.
I have a Honda and my wife has a Toyota, i gotta be Honest the Toyota has more power.
That's natural. Wives tend to be more powerful in real world, although husbands pretend they have more power.
Which engine is noisier?
I just test drove both of these and the CRV accelerated much quicker, easier, and quieter.

@@angiehh516 Hi Angie - Did you purchase one yet?
Nice comparison. We've have had priuses for years and the only negative of that car, as with other toyotas, are the seats. Most uncomfortable seats ever!! We would have purchased another Prius if it weren't for the seats. The Honda seat adjustments are great. In case you think it is just our problem the Toyota forums are full of complaints about seating and work arounds to make the seats more comfortable. And if you have any issues with your back forget it!! Get the Honda.
We bought the new RAV4 it's amazing
Do you still like it? I’m considering buying one
Yes how is it? Test drove one yesterday and im pretty sure im purchasing this week! Any issues?
Congrats. I'm a noob and starting to shop. In the end, what tipped you to RAV?
I will say that every Toyota that has "at least" Entune Audio Plus, then it has a built-in remote start. My 2019 Toyota Camry XSE 4 cylinder has the Entune Audio Plus system.I was unaware it had the remote start feature until I was watching Toyota Jeff's TH-cam channel. He demonstrated that every Toyota with Entune Audio Plus and above does have that feature. He is a senior sales representative for the dealership he works for in Raleigh NC. So yes, as long as the Toyota vehicle has Entune Audio Plus, then it does have remote start. Mark in Iowa.
Very nice comparison. One more thing I wanted to see is how the awd versions do in snow/off-road including ground clearance.
Awd isn't meant for off-roading it's good in snow and on road but for off-road you need only 4x4 trust me

Excellent presentation. My purchasing decision was easy after subtracting points given for unimportant (to me) items. CR-V it is.

Great comparison! I was between buying a CRV and RAV 4, went with the CRV because it had Android Auto and the main screen and controls were a more simple design lol Both are excellent and safe choices though :)
