- Full comparison of 2024 Honda CR-V vs 2024 Toyota RAV4. Interior, features, pricing, multimedia, styling, everything! Who wins?
The objective of AutoJeff Reviews is to give you as much information as possible about these incredible vehicles. I try to put my sometimes quirky and funny spin on things with my pop culture references.
I refuse to do a boring car review haha. I hope you like the channel and decide to Subscribe.
Who has the better front end, profile, back end, interior styling and features?
The front end of the crv looks a bit more fresh. The RAV4 is not bad though.
CR-V no contests. I always felt the Toyota tries a bit too hard to be a Subaru, but it just DO NOT have the power. It's just playing a bit too much pretend. The new CR-V finally looks like a grow-up and less "soccer mom". They borrowed heavily from Volvo and Audi and that was a wise move I think.
Yep. Honda lost me from the get-go in this vid. A 1.5 with turbo? No thanks. Turbocharged motors fall apart in short order.
@@YoMisterSmith turbo engine was a big deal breaker for me so I bought a Rav4. No spare tire didn't help either!
@@henryhonda8408 I'm with you on both counts there. Although the "no spare" is only on the CR-V Hybrid, the gas version has one (as Jeff showed in this video)... in the hybrids, the RAV4 has the battery under the rear seat so it doesn't encroach on the spare tire well, the CR-V puts the battery under the rear storage space, eliminating the spare tire well.
I drove both. I’ll be honest it was between the CRV and rav for me but I went for the rav. Love both Hondas and Toyotas. The CRV had some small things that were better, but the dealer soured me a little bit by trying to sell me a different color than what I wanted because it’d been on the lot for a minute. The rav sits a little higher, has an awesome ride and does fantastic on gas. I’m happy with my choice.
How is the rav with road noise?
@@carigalloway5517 Good question. I would also like to know.
Love the looks of the upgraded CR-V and interior room, but I hate turbo's. Turbos just don't last. I would have to choose the RAV4.
The CRV hybrid's engine is NOT Turbo.
I need that extra acceleration at the start from a complete stop that you get with a geared transmission. I don't care about the smooth driving feel of the CVT. Good that Toyota didn't switch to a CVT with the RAV4.
I would prefer the honda with the Toyota engine
Toyota with the Honda engine. Because Toyota makes the most comfortable seats.
Exactly - no turbo, no CVT would make the Honda perfect in my opinion
the 1.5T sucks.
@@kevinabraham2029 go crv hybrid
@@jasonusa Heard that from many people. Honda refuses to bite the bullet and do a redesign on the 1.5 Turbo eng to address the oil dilution issue. Instead they insist that it was taken care of with a programming change that forces the engine to heat up faster in order to burn off the gas in the cylinders earlier. However, if you live in a cold climate and do mostly short trips, I have been told you will still experience oil dilution. If I buy a new vehicle, I do not want to have to be constantly checking the oil for unsafe levels. I don't understand why many on You Tube who review the Hondas with the 1.5 Turbo engines do not mention the possible oil dilution issue.
Just the video I was looking for. You answered all of my questions, thank you so much Jeff.
Once again, excellent job Jeff ! I hope all your hard work is paying off !
There is one big difference where I live. There are CRV's on dealer lots for sale today. You can order a RAV 4 but you will have to wait weeks for delivery.
That tells you that people actuality buy more RAV4
Yes it's takes 2 months to deliver but you need to pay down deposit 😁
CR-Vs are less popular now due to declining reliability rating by Consumer Reports. More people are migrating into Toyota now away from Honda.
We test drive a 2025 CRV EXL, and 2024 Rav4 XLE Premium. We bought the Rav4. CRV is larger, and that's the only advantage we found. Its second row seat is not comfortable, and we don't like there are two more shifts after the "D". Plus, it is about 10 horsepower fewer than Rav4.
not to mention no turbo engine so longer life, more efficient hybrid system, ecvt transmission on toyota more reliable.
This video was delightful. You are such a sweetheart! Thank you for the thorough look into both of these cars with little bits of humor sprinkled in. :)
Sweet review. I was a bit taken aback by your theatrics but it calmed down in the end and hit the right gags at the right times and nottoo much.. But you had fun reviewing this and that showed in the video. Thank you Awesome review and shows you have a good understanding of the car market and what is questioned by buyers a syou were answering every question i had at the time. Awesdome dude
Thank you so much! I think you really hit on the theme of my channel. I like to have fun but not too much fun. And I like to break up the constant flow of information and specifications. I can’t do a boring review. I just ask new viewers to give my channel 1 or two weeks And then they can decide whether I like it or not ha ha. I’m glad you are here.
I love our 2024 blueprint RAV4 XLE premium. Jeff your earlier review sold me.
I have the same car. I love it!
I want the Prem AWD in Silver/Black
how is the road noise in your rav? (thank you)
Thanks for the thorough review. Just what I was looking for :) I was leaning towards the Rav4 but after this, I think I like what the CRV offers. I prefer the styling of the CRV.
Appreciate all your reviews. Also it's good to see how the pollen shows on the particular color.
I just bought the RAV4 hybrid XSE. The gas mileage is incredible.
Congratulations,, could you please share the out the door price you paid ? Also, is it AWD ?
@@nakuloza1837 The OTD price, minus the 5-year protection plan, was approximately $38,500. I received the $500 military credit., then I paid the car off when I received the first payment voucher. The car is metallic black. It’s really beautiful. It is AWD.
@@nakuloza1837 I also traded in my Rogue, so I received a reduction in the taxes.
@JohnJoseph-is7uv So how much did you pay, including your trade? You can still share the price of the car without the trade.
@@myytchannel6632 just go to Toyota Canada website or Toyota USA if you're south of the border. You'll get all the prices there.
Jeff, I like the generous interior dimensions of the CR-V but the RAV4 wins in every other measure. 🤩🤩 Let's hope the next RAV4 matches its top competitors when it comes
to spaciousness. 🤞🤞
The RAV-4 looses in EVERY measure, EVEN power.
@@jacobpetersen5662Lol Bro you might want to become friends with Google! The RAV4 has more power, and beats the CRV in 0-60 and in the 1/4 mile. I get it, you’re just trolling!! 🤣
@@lennygarrison6836because that's what matters??
@@debkleinschmidt4490reading comprehension, Deb. Did you purposely skip over the posters’ message, to which I replied?? You know, where he said the RAV4 loses to the CRV when it comes to power?? Now, I want you to go back and reread that, and then reread my response. It SHOULD all come together for you!! Deb, have yourself a fantastic day why don’t you! Tootles!! 😉
@@jacobpetersen5662CRV doesn’t even have a spare tire 😂
CRVs are more expensive in Canada. I love them for their comfort, but their acceleration isn’t good enough for my liking. I was loyal to Honda so many years but because of their small engines I probably will try my luck with RAV4.
The Honda has problems with fuel duration 1.5 Turbo. Problems with the valves not being cleaned. The rav 4 has dual injectors that solves that problem, however when u measure the paint there's barely 2.7 mills. Don't swirl the paint up to the point where you have To do any paint correction work.
Keep a good ceramic coating on the paint and it should be good for about ten years.
I got the rav4 blue print hybrid premium 2024….. it’s very sexy and amazing technology.
Thank you for saying safe travels my friends to the plane above instead of bitchin.
I film right by raleigh Durham airport so I’m used to it. I embrace it and add it into my videos haha.
I'm going to dealers this coming wknd and I'm debating which one of these two.Do any of these come WITHOUT the CVT transmission?
If you have back problems and can't bend very well, stay away from the Rav 4 unless your 5'5" and under. They mushed the roof down way too much to where I can't get in it and I'm 5'7. The CR v on the other hand is way better for getting in and out of.
The head room is not much. A larger person could not fit in.
Absolutely agree 100%!!
Drove the Rav4 for 6 months and that's as long as I could tolerate it. It's just soooo incredibly poorly designed and cramped in the front cabin. Seats are uncomfortable AF, and cramped width wise. Just shocking as Toyota shit the bed on what otherwise could be a kick ass vehicle. It's almost like they were designing it for people under 5'5" or something 👎👎👎👎
Went in a rav 4 hybrid as a back seat passenger. Not sure of the year but i think it was a 2023. Two things i noticed , you felt the bumps and being 6foot one i found it a little hard getting in and out. Never tried the front seats so cant comment on that. As for how wide the doors open, where the hell can you park these days to ppen the doors that wide
Thank you !!! I don’t know why no one mentions that! I’m 5’2 and own a RAV4, it’s such a hassle getting in and out of my car. My parents and my husband hit their heads the first time I had gotten my car. I also hit my head. My dad has such a difficult time getting into the car on the passenger side. It is such a FLAW in design. I don’t know who they designed this car for? Like you’d have to be 3’1 to find it enjoyable getting in and out of the car constantly. For this reason, I’m most likely going to go get a Honda.
Honda 2024 smooth ride i love my new crv better choice you can't go wrong with Honda.
amazing comparison. thank you very much. I really like the good energy of the narrative well done
Change the oil and follow the service recs and both will last forever
I’d take the rav engine/trans if it’s naturally aspirated and std transmission but I’ll take the Honda styling and room. The new Toyotas with the futuristic storm trooper edgy styling is not my thing.
I have Rav 4 XLE Premium in blue print. I love it sooo much inside and out.
I do enjoy your presentations.
I think the Rav looks more sporty and the CRV looks a lil more elegant!
I like the Rav but i think elegance is more my style! 😍
If you’re looking at a RAV hybrid, we have a 2018 one. Nice vehicle, but the hybrid battery is under the back seat, which results in the folded down rear seats not being flat and flush with the rear cargo space. Anything larger loaded into the RAV will sit at a 20 degree angle, not totally flat like the gas model. A big disappointment, nobody pointed it out, and we didn’t notice until we had it home. And our year doesn’t have a digital speedometer. The ancient needle/dial speedometer just doesn’t meet modern standards.
Thank you for this. I want the back to be flat- so I’ll make sure to check where the battery is!
Hey Jeff, include driving experince as well in your comparisons.
Rav4, more power, better engine-port injection system. No cvt
I will pick RAV4 over CRV for the power alone.😂
It has a weaker AWD system than the CR-V!
Me too I love Toyota RAV4
I just purchased the RAV4, so obviously that’s my choice. I bought the exact same one you’re using for comparison. Love the pearl white.
Congrats Denise!!
How is your rav with road noise?
@@carigalloway5517 I will admit the engine is a little noisy, but the performance and reliability out weigh that issue. I love it 😍
@@carigalloway5517 Sorry, I didn’t address road noise. It’s not an issue for me, but as I said, the engine is a little noisy.
Very well explained thank you
Fron this 2 examples, this Honda i like more
I'm a tall driver. I like the door swing on the CR-V compared to the RAV4.
It seems that the RAV4 has.a smother ride and braking.
Honda's CVT is not as smooth as RAV4. I'm not a fan of Honda's CR-V's turbo charged engine.
I would favor the RAV4.
I like both but on the CRV i wonder how long that little 1.5 will last...very small motor.
70k on our accord same engine 0 problems two trouble free cars here. They'll both do 300k no problem
Stay a way from Honda Cvt and turbo engines 😢 take my word I learned the hard way... Salute 👍
200k on ours. 0 problems. Companies put trolls online to scare you. Both cars are great. No wrong pick here
I tested both. I loved the Honda. Only downside is the AC doesn’t blow the air the RAV4 does. I live in the desert and that is SUPER important. I wish Hondas had better AC’s. I’m on the lookout but I’m leaning towards the CRV. RAV4 felt very outdated and rougher ride in comparison.
It's the smaller 1.5L turbo engine, so less A/C total BTU rating.
My older sister, Maureen would like the CRV or Honda Pilot, but I like the RAV4. Have fun in NY Jeff. Review a lot of Toyotas and Lexus!!
I sure will! I plan to film Toyota and Lexus the first morning I get there
(Which is tomorrow morning)
@@AutoJeffReviewsWhich is today.
A CVT and a bad engine make the CRV a poor choice.
The CVT works fine, and what bad engine are you speaking of? Not showing in reliability ratings
CRV- CVT and 1.5 Turbo
Rav-4- 8- speed automatic transmission and non turbo 2.5
Winner- Rav-4
Honda should get rid of the turbo and CVT they would sell more cars😢
@@user-jo4en1zl7b Agreed man 😢
@@user-jo4en1zl7b They sell all they can make already. The CR-V has a great resale value, just change it out every 5 years, or so -- no worries!
I'm looking at the Honda CRV
Oh and i will probably go the Honda as it looks more honda than last year and back to its roots of less is more in styling but put that into quality of components and design like the late 2000s. So glad Honda is back baby, be mine, baby be mine.. OMG i am turning into you >.< CHeers again you have a subscriber good reviewer no nonsense just a fair review
CRV wins it's super sharp and room is awesome
Projector headlight are a must ... won't buy a vehicle that doesn't have those
why can't I find this exact Rav4 online? This is the EXACT one I want!
Wouldnt even consider the honda cr-v with a 1.5 liter engine
wish the CRV still had the 2.4L as an egine option. Love that its bigger/wider/more trunk, but wont touch that 1.5T.
I would prefer RAV4
Honda looks really classy inside and out. Just not sure about CVT
eCVT is superior to any transmission. Go watch some videos about the eCVT in "Weber Auto" here in TH-cam......dozens of videos explaining in detail how a eCVT is such a simple & superior form of transmission using just an assortment of gears & planetary gears with no belts or chains involved.
What are u smoking? Lol@henryhonda8408
I would like to have a new one of either model. Right now I am driving a ‘16 Rav4 hybrid. I will never get a new one because of the prices. I have driven 3 Rav4s, a ‘97, a ‘10 Limited v6, and this one and have never had a repair except wreck damage. I will say….I am not as sure about the reliability of the new models. Mine all were J cars, made in Japan.
Would you rather have a CVT transmission or a conventional proven transmission that can be easily repaired?
Does the body side molding cost extra on the CRV? And can you get it if desired on the RAV4?
I feel like when it comes to the mid tier trims, the RAV4 styling looks better. The EXL CRV looks so cheap in comparison to rav4 XLE premium. But the higher end CRVs look so much better! Very premium and luxury looking
Some of the RAV4 gas are still built in Japan (west coast US states only).
Jeff’s the best
Hi John!!
I'd take the CRV with the RAV4 drive train.
So many people have crvs now days.
A cvt transmission and turbo engine makes honda a bad decision for me
Would you rather own a turbo assisted motor or a naturally aspirated motor for ten years?
LOL he said 34.2k for an EXL they 37k+ by me with another 5k in taxes and fees. That being said live the video Im currently shopping now and stuck between the RAV4 and CRV. I love everything on the CRV except for that hump / bump in the trunk area when you put the seats down, and wish it had that tray thing like the RAV4 did.
After watching your video comparing the CRV to the Rav4, the CRV wins.
Who has more space in terms of front seating? When I ride in a friend's RAV, front seats always seem cramped and too close together. Wondered if Honda is as cramped as the RAV?
CVT kills it for me! Sorry Honda. Great looking CUV but I don't want to replace a transmission after 60,000 miles. I will stick toToyota.
Crv is the size of a city bus, with tiny 1.5t, is a no for sure..😅
I have one, with FWD. No issues at all. Absolutely love it.
@@janis8726 Plenty of low end torque --- at really low RPM, it is plenty spunky! The turbo seems to work well -- no issues.
Honda hybrid for me. It's better in EVERY way!
I enjoyed watching your video on the Toyota rav4 and the honda CRV I think the Rav4 power train is more reliable than the CRV looking at the history repair on both your respond stay safe.
Glad you liked it! Thanks :)
CVT + Turbo = i think I'll pass
How do they DRIVE !
GREAT Comparison except ya'll didn't cover the specifics of the engine and Drivetrain! I owned a 2022 CRV EXL awd until a month ago when I traded it for a 2024 Rav 4 XLE awd. Why? Only because We plan on keeping forever! We still have our '05 Accord and it drives like new and has been flawless! When my silverado lease was running out in '22 we wanted to downsize and buy due to mile usage. We wanted a Tacoma/Ridgeline but none were available. We figured we would try a Rav or CRV. Toyota dealers were bumping sticker and Genthe Honda, now Southgate Honda in michigan was not. Poof the CRV. It was absolutely flawless but since we want to keep forever we got the Rav at a slight discount 2 years later at a different dealer for sure. The reason was the Atkinson cycle engine in the Rav. It Has Direct AND PORT injection! I won't have to worry about carbon buildup and wouldnt have worried if the CRV DIDN"T have a Turbo.
Other than that the CRV is a more refined ride and the info system was so much easier to set and run than the Rav. If you're NOT going to keep more than 5 years of 70 k or so, as an owner of both I would have kept the CRV. I sure am glad I have the Rav as long as it lasts like my '05 Accord which we are keeping forever! TY
The Hybrid with the 2.0 will not have a serious carbon build-up issue. That was 5 years ago maybe. If you're worried, give it a fuel cleaner service every 20K. It's easy! The CR-V is a MUCH better car than the RAV-4. MUCH better.
The CRV looks waaayy better in my opinion. That said, I think the RAV 4 is the more prudent choice.
Fuel injector problems with a 2017 CR-V. 3-sets since new! $1400 per set!
Not good. Time to buy a new one, or something else. I wonder if there is a never updated injector? Did Honda back it?
@@lorenschwiderski The first set they did. I paid for the second set $1400.
@@lorenschwiderski So, my CR-V had three sets of fuel injectors since built. 142,000 mile with three sets of fuel injectors! Build set. Warranty set. And the third, which I paid $1400 for. I got rid of the CR-V the next day. RAV 4 for me.
Toyota make the rav4 cheaper material that why crv all the time run better more stable engine stronger not louder like rav4
He reminds me of that on that old IGN show Free $hit😅
The RAV4 may be a bit square , but the CRV looks like a bread box 📦
I prefer 2.5 Toyota engine 203 HP over small engine 1.5T 190HP I think is more durable Toyota engine .
Dont think i would like the turbo engine they have not been around very long 😮
I like the hood lift have not seen that in other cars 😮
Rav 4 like ❤❤
Honda interior is premium compared to rugged finishes of Toyota, crv is wider and longer, Toyota interior is to compact like shrinked....but price wise Toyota is affordable.crv has road presence, rav4 needs new design. And rav4 automatic pickup is bit slower compared to crv cvt, pickup is smoother and responsive. And plus we can clearly know the change in gears in rav4 due to automatic.
RAV 4 is for skinny and short people. Honda works for tall and wide people
TURBOS and CVT's make me SICK !!!
Hi y'all, preferring the RAV4. Will the corrosion prone electric cable on RAV4, costing $6000 to replace, not turn one away from buying the RAV4 ?!
that cable should be replaced by Toyota!
I would think that issue was rsolved a couple of years ago by Toyota.
This is an issue only with the Hybrids correct?
Yea graphics are better in Honda
Always have same engine from Camry He still has it ???
RAV4 all day long
Toyota!
HONDA CRV 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think I like the CRV
Resale value, reliability?
Toyota.
CRV is, by far better
Power train to RAV4, rest to Honda
Toyota all the way 😍
Give credit to Chill Rob G. Snap? Come on, mane!
Why domthey all make the funny head reasts that lean so far forward that they are unchophrtable to lean back into
RAV 4♾♾
bouth are cool!
Honda 👍🏻
I have rav4 2023 xle premium better than honda crv i dont like honda expensive maintenance not like toyota cheap and no issues a lot
