We hope you all are safe & sound at home today and enjoying a relaxing Sunday! One of our subscribers pointed out a difference in the hybrid warranties: Honda warranties the battery for 8 years/100k miles, while Toyota has extended their coverage to 10 years/150k miles starting in 2020.
Also,CRV has mechanical AWD vs RAV4 has the eAWD (powered by the electric motor only)
I was pretty sure I was getting a rav4 but after testing both I just loved how spacious the Honda feels and how smoother it drives. It just felt like the right car for me
You made a smart decision.
@@rizwanrafeek3811 yeah I love it, been a couple of years now and the thing runs like new.
How did you forget 8 yrs/100k hybrid battery warranty in Honda vs 10 yrs/150k in Toyota. Plus no towing in Honda along with no spare tire in Honda vs 1750 lb tow capacity and a spare tire in toyota can be single selling points for many buyers and deserves more than 0.5 points IMO.
But as always, great efforts and I really appreciate the hard work you put for reviews and comparison vids. You tried your best to be as fair as possible. Thank you so much.
8 yrs/100k for Honda and 10 yrs 150k for Toyota
Ro0ster yes. Sorry I stand corrected. Edited now. Not sure what I was smoking.
We will pin a comment to the top with that info. Thanks for pointing it out!
Plus Rav4 uses nickel-metal-hydride battery versus lithium-ion in CR-V.
@@DecemberMoon there is a reason for that Metal Hybrid lose less charge in cold weather
TFL did a real life freeway mpg test and the Rav 4 hybrid was 41 mpg and the CRV hybrid 35 mpg
Toyota’s 20 years of hybrid experience spanks Honda.
Great comparison I like the RAV4 a little better.
Great comparison 👍
Team RAV4
Thank you, my friend! 🙂
Howdy, awesome video as always! I personally prefer the RAV4!😸😻😸
As a person who have driven both honda and toyota I would prefer honda
Excellent review, I have a request can you please make a comparison video of the Honda safety sense (CR-V) vs Toyota safety sense (RAV4).
I remember a few years ago when Toyota hybrids had the Hybrid Synergy Drive branding. However, these newer Toyotas seem to have dropped the HSD branding. What are the differences between Toyota's new Hybrid design and the HSD design?
I have a 19 rav4 hybrid. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
Either one is a great vehicle. The Toyota fan boys will go T, the Honda 's will go Honda. Who cares.
You didn't mention the AWD systems. This impacts the CR-V's fuel economy slightly, but with the CR-V's true, mechanical AWD vs. the RAV-4's separate motor-driven, useless system (doesn't provide enough power to really do anything), the CR-V is safer and should slightly surpass the RAV-4. I would also mention the extra 3 inches in the back seats, as well as the issue with the non-adjustable front seat in the RAV-4 being too high for anyone over 5'9", the CR-V is definitely a more comfortable ride.
When you were trying the acceleration did you have the cars set to sport mode? Because that makes a huge difference in the RAV4 as it changes the engine timing and compression ratio for max power and run both motors in tandem.
best review
Thanks!
@@CarConfections wc bro
Haha a third comparison of CR-V vs RAV4 eh? looks like the rivalry is getting more intense than ever!
I'd like to see a 3-way comparison with the 2020 Escape Hybrid thrown into this mix.
That's pretty funny . . . a half point for chrome exhaust tips!
Those high trim level versions sure are expensive. Close to $40k. Wow.
Those prices seem pretty standard for small SUV hybrids, as the Ford Escape Hybrid seems to be in the same price range.
NOTE: Nissan will not be making a hybrid version of the Rogue for 2020.
Expensive? Or more than you are willing to spend?
Are y'all going to review the Cadillac ct6 anytime soon
I love the Rv4 hybrid better, it’s very sexy!!!!
Great and informed review. Decided on the CRV based on your review. Thanks!
Glad to help! Thank you!
I thank the handa CRV sound system is good it has the better mid range Performance and plus all handa cars that come in fresh from the manufacturer the sound system eq is flat so it's up to you to dial up the Bass Treble and Subwoofer eq for better sound.
The Premium sound system on the rav is much better just by the fact it has more full sized speakers and a proper sub.
@@EpicLemonMusic yep I agree Honda stereo systems can't beat JBL sound systems but Honda sound system in they top trim vehicles isn't a slouch either but not good as JBL Sound System.
Can you do a review of the RAV4 prime PHEV when it is released?
Of course!
Are y'all going to review the Cadillac xt6
Both are very, very nice. Honda uses Li-on and Toyota uses NiMh batteries. I wonder which battery type will last longer, that would help me make up my mind. I'm currently driving a 2019 Honda Insight EX hybrid and in a few months I'll pay off my son's 2015 Toyota Corolla SE and I'll be looking for a SUV for myself. I just took a 2020 Honda CR-V EX hybrid for a test drive and loved it, big improvement to my Insight in many ways except in mpg, we are talking 15 mpg city driving difference and 14 mpg highway. I plan to test drive a Toyota RAV-4 hybrid before making my decision, wished I could afford the RAV-4 Prime but the price is out of the question.
CR-V has
real four-wheel drive, unlike imitation in RAV4 with a weak electric motor at the rear.
AWD CR-V is better.
The puny mechanical rear drive in the CRV is a joke. It will quickly overheat and become a useless 2 wheel drive. Electric motors provide a lot of torque.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Roller tests showed otherwise only if you have proof to show your statement isn't arbitrary.
CR-V Hybrid was able to pass all the roller tests (th-cam.com/video/1OxZvPhpZUk/w-d-xo.html )
But Rav4 Hybrid failed both the rear and front 1-wheel traction roller test (th-cam.com/video/r1xnHCwVAFs/w-d-xo.html )
Therefore, I have concluded whoever says CR-V hybrid AWD system (or Honda) is not capable are those who haven't test drove or owned the vehicle (or simply trolls), and Toyota AWD systems (both gas and hybrid) are more like a marketing gimmick than actual performance gain (roller tests could have been easily replicated without much costs)
@@user-tb7rn1il3q note. Its not truth.
Firstly, the above refuted your nonsense.
Secondly, the RAV4 electric motor is weak and does not work as well and smoothly as a regular AWD even on a non-hybrid RAV4 Adventure.
@@point4894 Personally I think Toyota allocated too much money and resources on marketing than actual 4WD and AWD development (which is non-existent, or too little progress), their AWD/eAWD/4WD systems are all severely outdated comparing to their rivals. Hopefully, Toyota can get some AWD improvement with its partnership with Mazda.
CR-V can't tow. That's a deal breaker if you don't have a 2nd vehicle that can tow.
1:58 and the CRV Hybrid’s lights are LED on every trim instead of just the Touring
Honda CR-V better than RAV4 because I don't like toyota
Ditto!
All rubish
I have RAV4 limited hybrid and it come with air cooled seats , heated steering wheel and 360 view camera. I did not pay any extra $ for these.
All limited models come fully equipped in Canada.
Bingo, this isn't Canada
i love hondas so im always going to be bias when comparing hondas and toyotas. however, that gps on the crv looks terrible. and the ac/heat controls on the crv requires some of the features to be on the touchscreen.... really? who from honda thought it was a good idea to design that? common honda, you guys are not giving me much to defend here.
Rav for towing anything (light); CR-V for traction
Also all Toyota’s that include a smart key have remote start by pressing the lock button 3 times and holding on the third.
I wonder whose dumbass thought it would be a good idea to not include a dedicated button on the Toyota for remote start lol
Not true for Canadian one. My XLE Premium doesn’t have that. I know, I’ve tried!
According to Toyota: you have remote start from the app OR the key fob for a trial period. After that both will stop working without a paid subscription
I'm driving a Toyota RAV4 having changed from a Honda CRV i tested both cars and decided on the Toyota fro 2 main reasons first even if you said that the engine noise in the Toyota was louder driving i found that driving at highway speed on UK roads the road noise on the CRV was louder (measured 2db) second i found the handling and cornering felt better also i felt by the seat of my pants as you said it (not measured )when accelerating to overtake the RAV4 felt more reactive when flooring paddle
Unlike the CRV the rav4 can be had with heated rear seats.
But overall rav4 is the easy win for me despite the fuel tank issue.
naveenthemachine in Canada rear heated seats are standard
@@f181234 If the CRV hybrid offered the pano-roof and ventilated seats in the US, it would definitely sway me in considering purchasing the CRV hybrid! :)
Here are a few things the CRV could've got points:
2:06 CR-V has LED turn signal which is an upgrade over RAV4's incandescent signals
2:10 I'm sure hybrid consumers won't even care about actual exhaust tips on hybrids
Also that CR-V uses a mechanical AWD system as opposed to RAV4's eAWD system, which does better at off roading, but I know that also makes the CR-V less fuel efficient
And some Canadian-exclusive features: (I know Canada hasn't announced the hybrid model yet but eventually would)
8:24 Touring comes standard with Panoramic Sunroof
9:05 EX-L and up comes standard with heated rear seats
Would have liked to know which vehicle had the better vision, i.e. windows. Did one have pillars that interfered with the driver's ability to see cars coming from the side?
CR-V Touring Hybrid
Vs.
Rav4 Limited Hybrid
Vs.
Escape Titanium Hybrid
Make it happen!
Unlike to rav4, the cr-v has fully LED headlights and taillights. This makes cr-v look much more premium.
Honda's also usually have more premium interior materials, and fit and finish even better than many luxury cars. Meanwhile, the Toyota also has a fairly nice interior for the class, but still not as premium as the Honda.
rav 4 is better reliability ....its going last 3 times longer than Honda
Black so ur saying led lights makes ur car more luxurious?
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 "Honda's also usually have more premium interior materials, and fit and finish even better than many luxury cars"
Not necessarily, especially when Acura was nowhere near that level for years until the new RDX was out. A Toyota Avalon for example is on Lexus levels of fit and finish and premium quality and materials.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 I'm talking about Toyota and Honda, not Lexus and Acura. The Civic and Accord have a higher quality interior than the Corolla and Camry. Lexus does have nice interiors, though.
CRV Hybrid is full 1 sec slower than Rav 4 hybrid in 0 - 60 test ( that's +1 to Rav4)
Actual mechanical AWD in CRV ( + 1 CRV)
CRV interior just feels more spacious than RAV4 (+ .5 CRV)
The CR-V has a higher rear roofline than the Rav4, which definitely accounts for it feeling more spacious. However, Honda's placement of the battery pack does take some of that advantage away.
The interior doesn't feel spacious in cr-v, it's just flimsycal...
The only thing is the RAV4 hybrid has a defect with the gas tank !!!! Do you guys know about this ? It was on the news and Toyota is keeping quiet about this.
What was the issue?
@@fabian987m You can only fill the tank to 10 gals as opposed to the 14.5 they say it has. People claim that they can get more gas in by slowly letting gas trickle in past the click, but then you can potentially mess up your vehicle. It may get the mpgs, but the issue is that you won't have the estimated range that they claim, i.e, having to go to the gas station more often.
Yes, it's too small but it's still hybrid 🤣
Guys, thanks for the video.
I do have a few comments to make aboujt it though. I compared both of these vehicles before purchasing the RAV4. I found the Honda to be less comfortable overall and more roomy for my needs.
To comment on your findings: You said that you think the Honda was quieter. I have the Rav4 xse model and find it to be just as quiet. No question. Some models are not.
You also gave more thumbs up to the Honda for staying in battery mode for a longer time. In some ways that is technically true HOWEVER in my experience I have driven my RAV4 at 70 mph in electric mode with no problems and stayed in EV mode for almost 10 minutes. Granted that it is generally on a cruise on level/downhill conditions but it will do it.
I don't feel the transition from EV mode to gas engine mode most of the time. Only on very limited circumstances and it is pretty gentle.
Yes. I love the RAV4 but I m trying to be realistic and objective.
That said, the 2 biggest issues I do have is the fact that the RAV4 doesn't come standard with the backup warning system, All the equipment is there just not enabled unless you have the tech package upgrade.
Also a problem, although minor, is the gas tank issue. More of an inconvenience than a real problem.
There you go.
Thanks
Request: how about the 2020 ford fusion vs the 2020 camry?
I thought that the Fusion was canceled last year no?
@@6210classick idk if it was discontinued? maybe? who knows?
Mauricio Calero instead of saying who knows, do some research. The fusion has been cancelled.
@Randy Jackson oml... so many comments...
@Randy Jackson IK IK IK
RDX vs CRV please
Compare luxury to non-luxury? No way. Maybe compare Acura to Lexus.
I consider alloy wheels a huge NEGATIVE. Need locking nuts to try to cut down on theft, which is very expensive to replace. Also curb damage again costs a lot to repair on alloys.
I've been reading that the RAV4 for 2019 and 2020 only allows a 3/4 tank fillup. I can't tell if this is just on some cars or all cars. Anyone have information on this issue?
kennyfar I have the same problem in my 2019 rav4 it only lets me fill up about 10 to 11 gallons even tho it holds 14.5 when the car is on E
Here in Europe our cars are made in Japan - Me and my friends dont have fuel tank issues with 2020 Rav4
I have a 2019 rav hybrid and can fill up to have about 480 mile range. Averaging about 38 mpgs myelf. We are supposed to get 530 on a full tank.
It's not a big issue for me because it doesn't affect my wallet.
This was the main reason why I passed on the Rav4. During normal times I may have considered waiting for the fix, but with the current situation, who knows when that will happen.
The CRV long thin rear turn signals are HORRIBLE
1. The CR-V has a lined trunk as premium car, while the RAV4 has plastic.
2. CR-V has a flat floor if you fold the seats, and you can sleep, the RAV4 does not have a flat floor, you can not sleep.
And you do not appreciate it? Not fair.
Exhaust tips matter because . . .
My dad got CRV while my step mom got RAV4. When it was new CRV seems nicer but as it gets older RAV4 just keep on going. Toyota is much more reliable than Honda. I had the same experience with odyssey and sienna. Odyssey has better review rating everywhere but the sienna never give me any problem while Honda had problem with Sliding doors and transmission. Also..Toyota sound system was much better than the Honda. If you comparing their sound system side by side the Honda sound very flat but loud while Toyota sound so balance much like high end sound system.
I just traded in my 2015 Honda Touring CRV for a 2021 CRV Touring hybrid. I Never had any issues with the 2015 model and only traded it in because I wanted a hybrid. I had 2 Toyotas in the past which were poor quality and cost a lot in repairs. I switched to Honda with zero regrets. I've had many different Hondas over the years and all were high quality. I will never buy another Toyota.
Crv,premium interior,,
Toyota makes the best hybrid cars, honda is nothing compared toyota in hybrid reliablity, honda isnt good with hybrids anyways
CR-V no spare tire??? What the hell! What if someone have a flat tire??
I will go with the rav4 limited
Hey bro where is lexus rx 450hl?
Completely different price point.
You implied that the CR-V can be in EV mode at higher speeds (35 mph was the example). This isn't true. The RAV4 can be in EV mode at all speeds (I've seen it at 75 mph before) if conditions allow. But the CR-V is more capable of doing this, I think.
Cr-v by design doing cycles of ev drive and ICE drive+charge. That allows to save some fuel while keep ICE at best operation mode, however I doubt it is good compromise for battery life expectancy. That info is from honda presentation about i-mmd system.
They both look new so is it good to buy a brand new car
The CR-V uses the electric motor more than the RAV4 but yet it beats on the MPG. I am having trouble making sense of this.
a true AWD system with real rear driveshafts (additional weight), aerodynamics sacrifices because of wider tires on the CR-V (but better grip and handling)
@@kpokfposkf thanks for your response.
Invincibie Rav4 have a 1,750 towing capacity which cr-v doesn’t even offer, rav4 also offers spare tire which cr-v doesn’t provide. Also the rav4 has a 10 year 150k mile hybrid battery warranty while the cr-v only offers 8 years 100k
That's actually a disadvantage. The CR-V generates electricity to run the motors, and every time energy is converted like that you lose efficiency. A direct mechanical connection is more efficient.
@@koyrehme4361 Thanks for this explanation. That makes sense.
I’m waiting for a Rav4…
rav4 is for younger generation, I like crv hybrid better.
You did not compare the All wheel drive Honda wins, Rav4 does not perform.
Yeah but the rav has much better ground clear and approach as well as actually has a spare tire and cladding beneath the vehicle. Tire choice will make the slightly better AWD negligible, who is taking Hybrids offroad? The toyota actually does better in snow because of the onboard techz
Not fairly compared, Honda way better car in safety and technology …
Prefer the Toyota but every feature is extra u have to pay for everything very bad The sound of the engine are horrible
Boxy arches on the rav 4 make it look dated
Price is not similar when is $1K difference.
According to Google the RAV4 has 163 pound-feet of torque... doesn't really make sense to me but I know the Honda CR-V has 232 to foot pounds of torque
The reason the ravhyb is a bit faster than the Crv with less torq is A it is lighter, B toyotas electric engines are bigger and stronger whereas Honda puts strength in the gas engine more. This leads to about 1 second faster to 60 in the rav
I like the CRV space and genuine leather and a better all wheel drive system for less money also like the aggressive front end of the CRV . I like the Honda hybrid system a little better . There both very close , the Honda interior feels more premium and spacious , people don't trade in a car that's comfortable in 2 or three years , I think the Toyota will be a trade candidate in two our three years where I feel the CRV will be kept for 4 to 5 years maybe longer ( thats a very important consideration when making a purchase the more comfortable a car is the longer you will keep it the rav is sporty but less roomy and considerably less comfortable equals trade in at 2 or three years ( fake leather ) vs genuine leather big difference. Roomy ,spacious ,comfortable, real all wheel drive , less money , bigger vehicle, premium feel interior .CRV is clearly the winner . Plus you will most likely keep it to payoff . RAV definitely will be traded in before payoff.
I'm waiting for the 2021 RAV4 Prime! Although, I would probably get the 2020 RAV4 just because of its style compared to the CR-V.
Are they COVID-19 proof or for our wallet...?
Why does every care about Led fog lights lol, you can put Led fog lights in for 25 bucks on amazon.
The RAV 4 feels like an SUV while the CR-V feels like an MPV
Hi go rav4
so looks like 5% rule doesn't apply during the mileage?????? LOL
A 5% difference is not LESS than 5%. And fuel economy is pretty important on Hybrid vehicles. That's our thinking
Car Confections (41-40)/41=2.4%... 🤷🏻♂️
@@akshaykadam7749 oh, combined MPG I should say
In real world tests the crv hybrid gets around 35 and the rav around 40. So that is a big differencw
Also, minus one point to the rav4 because of fuel tank issue.
it till gets more mpg though..
Gets almost 5 mpg better real world and the gas tank holds .5 gallon more so almost negligible difference in range even if you got one with the issue
Note that AWD system on CR-V hybrid is far superior than Rav4 Hybrid. (So you can get out of sticky situations much easier on the CR-V Hybrid)
CR-V Hybrid was able to pass all the roller tests (th-cam.com/video/1OxZvPhpZUk/w-d-xo.html )
But Rav4 Hybrid failed both the rear and front 1-wheel traction roller test (th-cam.com/video/r1xnHCwVAFs/w-d-xo.html )
It'd be interesting if you can conduct an objective 4x4 roller test on AWD/4WD crossovers or SUV in a controlled environment, and give 1 point to the winner that scored better (Or at least research and mention this when testing is not feasible)
The majority of buyers will look at all-weather traction or off-road capability when it comes to crossover/SUV.
Invincibie But you do get better MPG in the Rav4 😉
Zak M they have identical MPG in the city, real world numbers from Alex on autos and redline reviews shown less than 3% difference between both vehicles. (Less than 1 MPG difference)
Invincibie What really matters is their ratings. Their ratings show their potential mpg if driven efficiently. And the Highlander offers better mpg. Highlander also offers towing which cr-v doesn’t. Need I mention the spare tire rav4 offers as well? Cause the cr-v doesn’t offer that.
Zak M yea Honda (Acura) for some reason wants to protect sales from their true gas vehicles, with the same exact drivetrain in Europe, both crv and rav4 hybrid are rated to tow the exact same weight
Invincibie That’s Europe though not the states
the kia sorento hybrid tho, will blow this 2 away, infact its not the best time to buy a hybrid, Honda will release all new crv late this year plus Kia is coming out, beside Toyota will fix the quirks and irks in the 2021 rav4. wait patiently for 6 more months, im waiting myself before i make a decision
Honda sounds better the RAV4 sounds like it’s from the 80s
stay home
I’ll go with the crv
I would rather have a 1987 Chevy Blazer S-10 over those two lol.
DO NOT BUY HYBRID!!! If you want your vehicle to last forever the hybrid WILL NOT. 300k at least on a regular
Lol lies
Toyota is company as a whole cheap price gouging. Honda and Hyundai provide Bose speakers, whereas Toyota is cheapo JBL speakers which is just an ok ordinary.
There is nothing premium quality in Toyota.
