[@JusticeGamingChannel]

I wish you would do this test with the 2017/2018 Mazda CX-5

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

How can you possibly recommend the turbo on the CRV when Honda is having problems with fuel getting into the oil. In China they did a recall for this issue. Here in the USA they only provide an oil change. I will continue to avoid turbos, CVTs and direct injection like the plague.

[@ck9973]

You guys should mention the tires used when doing these snow tests. The tires are probably the biggest determining factor when it comes to handling in the snow and ice.

[@nicblank09]

Shut up

[@galacticmaui2]

Having owned both, you really can’t go wrong with either. Both some of my favorite cars ever.

[@1lifeonearth]

i just bought a 2017 awd rav4, this is the first year ever that i am excited for it to snow!

[@thesaint9276]

Just bought an 18 awd today. Any problems yet???

[@tousshong9438]

I had driven and own both Honda CRV and Rav4 AWD and the Honda CRV always give me fish tail and cause spin on the rear end and seems to feels unstable driving on snows. The Rav4 seems more sure footed and have the option of locking the 4x4 until you goes over 30MPH. This option really helps when you're in really deep snows or mud.

[@backinthewoods2022]

Well I just got done driving both these vehicles after a snow storm in Wisconsin and it was night and day as to which one performed better. The Toyota was glued to the road in a snow covered parking lot while the Honda was squirrely and skidded quite a lot. Stopping was noticeably better in the Toyota as well. I will say the Honda looks better inside and out but we went with the Toyota because I want my wife to get home safe.

[@tousshong9438]

I totally agree with you on your comments. I feels the same way and I have own both vehicle which are a 2015 Rav4 AWD and 2016 CRV AWD. The CRV drives just like you said. Sold the CRV and went and got another Rav4. A-men Looks is nothing when I needed traction. LOL

[@RGR-ke3ly]

I like Honda when it comes to handling for every day drive. It’s more stable suspension. I have a 1997 Honda Civic put in 360k miles on it.

[@TheTysurfs]

Turbo setup isn't always the most reliable. I really like the naturally aspirated route Toyota is taking.

[@Offshore1977]

Now 9 months later. And Honda is having issues with their turbo engines. Fuel in oil causing it to stall.

[@vancoko]

My first car was civic, the second car was accord v6, then 2018 crv touring. I am a vvvip customer.🤗🤗

[@TH-qr9ml]

We just leased a 2018 rav4 limited. she wanted something a bit larger than the Corolla and awd. Reliability was the number one factor for choosing Toyota over any other brand. They offer the Toyota care which is another plus. Very comfortable ride and she feels safe behind the wheel.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Honda is no longer a reliable brand. It is now mediocre. Toyota and Mazda are the new leaders.

[@djuell01]

CRV all day long for my wife and women love them! Resale is great, safety is great. Way more conferrable on long trips. She loves her 2015 and not trading it in any time soon. Great video!

[@boodro2122]

Tired of CR-V being categorized as a woman's car. I love CR-V's and I'm not a "Nancy" lol They are my favorite cars.

[@thethreatwrestling.7053]

​​@@boodro2122Hey buddy, I own the 2021 CR-V AWD and I am happy with my vehicle. I'm not a Nancy neither lol.

[@bMPtuning01]

My mom bought the 2017 crv i was angry because it has those issues now it has 132 miles on it and still impressed I know hondas are reliable best car

[@toyotaalltheway1]

I have a 2013 Rav4 and I love the car. It makes it up gold mine hill with a little momentum. Its one of those cars that doesn't excel at anything, but is good at just about everything. I wish I could get a rear locker for it.

[@Gorlami90]

That cherry red with the black rims looks pretty damn good on the yota

[@ManCaveStudio]

If you are lucky you will get 200k on the Honda before major issues start creeping up due to that stressed out 1.5L Turbo. The Toyota will easily go 300K and while some may argue about not having a turbo I would rather have a slightly larger engine than a turbo any day for reliability reasons. Toyota wins for me.

[@dobypilgrim6160]

Ricardo Rodriguez I have never seen a 4 cylinder Turbo get 200k miles on it. Ever. This ain't a diesel.

[@lanzas5496]

I drove a CRV with manual transmission AWD it had 260K miles and running strong until someone Tboned me and I got a Total Loss

[@andrewyang4319]

I personally own, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Acura. Toyota is top of all if you want to keep for long time. Rav4 will be the best one.

[@essa.321]

I will never understand why Toyota removed the 3.5 litre 2GR-FE V6 option from the RAV4. Not everyone can stand the flutter of a 4-cylinder.

[@JS-qi1ou]

I think they are trying to appease the EPA gods with the underpowered option. The EPA in the U.S. market imposes fines if automakers don't try and be more fuel efficient. The 6 cylinder would certainly kick everything else's ass with that new TV-AWD on the limited though.

[@TPMikeJ]

Test drove and compared both vehicles. The CRV touring edition is head and shoulders better than the RAV 4. Honda's fit and finish and service is of much higher quality.

[@derakbell8143]

Only if their R&D WAS

[@johnsmith-gt3po]

I want half of each car welded together and call it "HONTOYA"

[@josephbell2160]

Van Kham You'd better copyright it before I steal that idea

[@3n1asl2]

john smith literally chuckled 🤣

[@SBsupreme602]

How bout Honyota

[@dashingmay]

Toyota+Honda = Yotada?

[@thongvu4281]

Chery already did that with the J11

[@oneundecided]

A big question is how long 1.5 turbo engine with oil dilution issue and CVT transmission will last on Honda.

[@leoredhook5916]

Very long. I just saw a few 2018 and 2019 with over 200k miles for sale.

[@browndeerliquor4080]

snow traction depends on the tire. I noticed RAV4 using blizzaks they need to use same tire on both cars to really compare snow driving

[@sunikiranec3936]

AWD RAV4 is one of the best cars on snow to have fun. Only thing he didn’t do is use his handbrakes a little bit to pull out the rear end, it drifts like king 😂

[@Daniel-zy8he]

Honda has been using the CVT since, 1989, and they brought it to America in the late 1990's in the form of the Insight. For those who think the CVT is lesser than an automatic, ask Formula One, it was banned in 1993 when the BMW Williams Team tried to use it in one of the cars they had brought to practice, it hadn't even made one lap believe it or not, it was to fast. So the future will be CVT, and yes, some companies like Nissan can't build a good one to save their lives, but companies like Honda to name one, does not care what you have to say, they know automatics are a thing of the past, and are slowly phasing them out.

[@zeljkodjukic5889]

Good job

[@itzed]

I bought the RAV4 for my wife. It’s a completely boring vehicle and she loves it. The engine is not even direct injected. It’ll last forever.

[@JHuffPhoto]

So are you saying it is better to have a boring super reliable vehicle that you will get tired of before it wears out or an exciting vehicle that will eventually leave you stranded and getting rid of because it will cost thousands of dollars to keep it roadworthy?

[@itzed]

John Huff for my wife, yes. She will never get tired of it because driving for her is getting from point A to point B safely and comfortably. Me on the other hand, I drive a GTI, so I guess I’m closer to your second scenario. 😉

[@rainystorm88]

Same thing with my mother and my fiancé, I recommend Toyotas to them without a doubt while I myself have always owned Mazdas

[@JHuffPhoto]

Ed Mathews I had an 06 GTI. I loved that car. Far more fun than the specs and other numbers would suggest. It was a fairly reliable car but I got rid of it before it got too bad on maintenance. I think I had around 110k on it.

[@v60polestar88]

Good car for the wife. These CUV are just soulless transportation. My wife had a highlander and good god was that thing a snore fest. Yes they are very reliable, but I like my automobile to be fun to drive, not just point A to B transportation

[@thethreatwrestling.7053]

Currently, my daily is the 2021 Honda CR-V AWD the same generation as shown in the video. Honestly, it's a great vehicle,reliable, low maintenance, comfy, good handling, safe and runs like a champ. The CR-V AWD here in the Cleveland Ohio area is one of the most popular compact SUV'S in the local market because they perform great in all weather conditions. I love my 2021 Honda CR-V AWD.

[@Bob-zj1ky]

Pay attention! There's a lot of complaints about 2017 Honda CRV. Because of more short trips , more city driving and cold weather, the gas is mixing in the oil of the new 2017 Honda CR-V. The 1.5 liter engine does not warm up sufficiently in cold weather and short trips , runs rich, and leaves un-combusted gas in the oil. This triggers engine warning lights and requires frequent oil changes. Engine performance and drivability suffer. This problem is also being reported on social media by other Honda CR-V owners who drive in colder climates. We are concerned that it is causing long term damage to the engine of the new vehicle. I caution prospective buyers to postpone the purchase of a 2017 or newer 2018 Honda CR-V with the 1.5 liter engine until Honda solves to this problem. The fifth generation CR-V is an excellent car in many respects, but this is a major problem. I cannot recommend the car, particularly to those who drive in colder climates, until a fix is found.

[@zenoxa9013]

I have crv 2017 since 2 years and no have any problem its very economic and luxury car..

[@websurfer44]

I've got a 2007 Rav4 with a six cylinder and have no interest in a four cylinder version. I did have a newer one for a week and liked that they had moved the seat back a few inches (more leg room). I also liked that the hood was higher. The lift gate was nice but didn't like that they no longer carry a full size spare. The HD/SAT radio was nice too. But, it lacked the power of my six and they reduced the towing capability so I'll stay with mine for now. Probably go with a bigger vehicle next time and real four wheel drive.

[@hamerplayer1229]

We wanted another Rav with a V6 but in 2013 we tested the new one with the 4 cyl and it was a slug. Bought a V6 Honda Crosstour 75k and it's still like new. Gonna drive it till the wheels fall off

[@yumpinyiminy963]

I wish winter driving comparisons of cars or tires were done in a more realistic test. I live in the snow belt (upstate NY). 90% of the time the roads will be plowed and salted making a very slippery mix until it is melted to the pavement. Slushy slop that can kill you. I also see test done above the arctic circle where the temps are 15F or less. That nice crunchy snow. Very cold snow is actually rather easy to drive on. Much more traction that slop.

[@hondajohn6948]

I own a 2017 Honda CR-V and my family loves it. Our last two family cars were a 2006 Honda Pilot and a 2007 Acura MDX. While the Crv has a lot less horsepower than both of those cars it does have much more usable power. As an enthusiast I am not bothered by the Crv and how it drives. The steering lacks feel but it’s very competent if you have to slam on your brakes and turn the car will feel very secure. I’m not bothered by the CVT either because it can deliver amazing fuel economy and the ratios it creates are something that puts automatics to shame. If you wanted to accelerate up a steep grade the Mdx and Pilot would drop a gear or two and your Rpms would skyrocket to at least 4,000 then up shift and two minutes later down shift again. In contrast the Crv can just sit at 3,000 as the turbo spools up and it will accelerate to the same speed just as quickly. I’m aware the Toyota is more reliable but I don’t like the styling and it’s extremely slow acceleration.

[@mannymotta2174]

Applekid , I love your comment. I must say, I am a Toyota guy, but I like the cr-v. Did you notice the Toyota had dedicated winter tires and the Honda had street tires?

[@deemfingtee]

CRV is running Michelin Latitude X-Ice xi2. You can tell from the close-up of the side wall and the tread pattern.

[@mannymotta2174]

I had a cr-v and a rav as rentals. I liked them both about the same which was not that much. The metal on both were thin and they cheese them out to get the best mpgs. My regular vehicle is a 4x4 Tacoma off road and I'm used to a heavier better put together vehicle. That being said, I hate these unfair tests where one car has snow tires and the others aren't equal. And the $$$ they want is crazy. Things are way out of hand and the sad part is people accept it.

[@americanserb1marindol211]

Honda paint jobs fade too fast.

[@Phrancis5]

Yeah, we have a 17 turbo CRV too and it's pretty awesome with so much usable torque made at low rpms. I don't get this whole CVT hate. The infinite gear ratios is great for mpgs and acceleration. Honda (and Subaru) CVTs are actually reliable and less rubber-bandy feeling than most. I've driving stickshift cars all my life and when I decided to get the CRV and give up shifting gears, I guess I don't have any preconception of what automatic transmissions should feel like. I actually would prefer it didn't have the fake gear ratios and give me the smooth linear acceleration that I know it's capable of.

[@JITB0Reiu]

If you take out one of the Rav4.3s with the V6, you will have a blast.

[@giovannibonanno5655]

You can buy a 2018 Honda CRV which in Not Turbo in LX model=2.4 Liter 184 hp. Only EX model is the Turbo & has engine issues (being 1st year new design).

[@Ketan74847]

You should test using EX or EX-L model. bcas 90% of the buyer doesn’t buy top end model

[@border411]

Wait...did I notice the Rav4 was on winter tires, and the CRV was on stock ones?

[@agpawpaw5912]

Yes. I notes it too.

[@ColonelMarcellus]

Reporting on brand-new cars. Will they work 5 years or 10 years from now?

[@Suction_]

Rav4 and CX5 are the only choices for me. No turbo or CVT

[@Tool0GT92]

My 05 crv awd even on all seasons is a beast in the snow. I was one of the only cars on the road that wasn't stuck.

[@eamonob84]

Same with the 04 I used to have. Went up a mountain pass on all seasons and drove by everyone else that had to stop to chain up. I just got a Subaru Impreza, so I'm feeling confident for the winter in this too.

[@PLATINUM2U]

Toyota hands down.. simplicity and quality.😉

[@rh416]

I miss the good 'ol days when you could still test Subarus. Would be nice if you and Subaru could be friends again. 😢

[@JS-qi1ou]

Maybe when Subaru eventually gets away from Jatco transmissions, and something else to offer than a boxer.

[@JHuffPhoto]

Both are excellent safe vehicles. However if I was planning on keeping my vehicle long term I would choose the Toyota. Although the small direct injected turbo and CVT on the Honda will certainly save you fuel the nightmare maintenance issues associated with them in the long run will cost you thousands. There is a reason why Toyota has not adopted direct injection on their engines. It is called carbon buildup on the back sides of the intake valves. Turbos are great but the exasperate this problem with their high pressures. Dual injection is one solution but it adds cost and complexity. CVTs although not very engaging to drive are wonderful for performance and efficiency. However they require more frequent and much more expensive maintenance than a traditional transmission. Nice video though I just thought I may point out the pros and cons of the two different approaches.

[@zachcondon-oz3uh]

John Huff yea but hondas known for reliability we will just have to see how it stands up

[@user-oq3lv6lv7x]

zachcondon4568 Honda reliability isn’t the same as the 90’s. How are they still having transmission problems. Simplicity wins over quantity.

[@Suction_]

Take a look at the 1.5T fuel dilution problem. In boost, it seems like gas is getting into the crank case and severely diluting the oil

[@nicholasolsen4698]

The carbon buildup issue isn’t really that prevalent anymore. I put 100k miles on a 1.8tsi Passat with the direct injection and never once had an issue. Use good gas and you won’t have an issue. Also put 75k on a direct injected focus without issue.

[@joshgladstone7119]

I agree with you fully, but if we were taking about a lease, I'd go with the honda

[@the600cc]

Honda has always been good in the interior design than Toyota

[@goproadv4902]

I've always believed the reasoning that the extra money that would go to a better interior they give to the engineers so they can keep them employed within Toyota to keep building reliable cars

[@Laptops1781]

Cr-v much better creature comforts. Rav4 much better reliability, but lacks what the Honda offers.

[@jaceburton3506]

mike finnity Honda CR-V lacks reliability? 😂

[@bMPtuning01]

Its a honda with all problem is still a reliable machine

[@marcelo-castro2909]

That new Honda omg!!! looks amazing, I would buy the Honda. The Toyota front just looks weird. that Honda front dammmmm and the back for get about it Honda wins lets be honest

[@moonlighter6]

Honda, hate the Turbo and the CVT. If you keep a vehicle over 100k miles, you don't want a Turbo. If you enjoy driving, you don't want a CVT transmission. The Toyota has a sport-shiftable 6-speed auto-transmission, which I enjoy.

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

I refuse to buy a vehicle with a turbo, a CVT or direct injection! More problems, more expense, more complications and less reluability.

[@Lucky8s]

Uptin Sinclaire What vehicle doesn't have direct injection these days?

[@shinigami45-k4b]

I have a cvt and turbo I love it its so smooth I have 2017 Honda civic Ex-l I driven a ford f150 a camaro a subaru a Nissan and Mazda but I prefer the cvt to a normal transmission I can't go back a normal trans feels so slow now

[@MistaRoyanT]

I've driven over 800,000km on a single turbo in my dump truck. Sold it before ever needing to replace one. Turbo technology has come a long way. They are way more reliable than they once were when properly maintained

[@Jhon-zm7pc]

Looks like know shit about cars . Always had turbo cars SUV on each one put over 300 000 km no problem with turbo

[@mardamek]

9 out of 10 times I'd choose a Honda over a Toyota, but this is that 1 time, when Toyota's more traditional and bulletproof approach won me over. I mean, in all honestly, crossovers aren't my thing (I'd take a good station wagon with a set of winter tires over a crossover on all seasons any time), but if I had to choose, I think I'd be safer with the Toyota. Mind you, that my choice is not even based on this review, per say, but more about Toyota choosing displacement over forced induction and what's even more important, no stupid CVT.

[@justindavis5983]

RAV4 has a much cheaper interior, uncomfortable seats, less room. until the new gen comes out the CR-V is the winner for me

[@PCGAMER01OGAT]

I think, the people who would be buying this crossover will only care about getting out from their parking lot when there’s snow! My clear winner is CR-V

[@user-oq3lv6lv7x]

Pcgamer01 Too bad it’s not as reliable

[@josephbell2160]

you’re wack You're right, it's more reliable

[@algertcorbaxhi2698]

Had the oil eating honda. No more. Trade it for Rav4 very happy with the performance. Much faster than Honda

[@hummadmalik]

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).

[@Shadownian]

Cant wait to see how the 2019 Rav 4 compares...especially the hybrid!!

[@moonsapling]

The Hybrid does not do well in terms of AWD. Just get a normal one and go places with it!

[@Jason99942]

How about actually evaluating the stability/traction control - rather than turning it off and playing in the snow. Most people want to know how stable the car is, when you're caught in a blizzard.

[@sch2217]

Exactly how I feel as well, the video was not helpful in choosing a reliable awd suv for winter driving.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

7:38 So the Honda CR-V wins. Good to know.

[@HockeyBoy1972]

Thanks for saving my time from having to watch the whole non-informative video.

[@itsmargemrssimpsonifyanast2016]

Just traded my 2014 honda crv for a 2018 rav 4. I had 84k miles on my crv and the transmission started slipping. Had it flushed and it didn't last so I ditched it. Glad I'm back in my toyota.

[@luiscastillo8416]

The Rav4 is a better car. I own a CRV and is sluggish compared to the Rav4. The Crv is more comfortable but powertrain wise Toyota is a beast.

[@ilcapomusic]

Listen Bottom Line is You Can't Compare Honda To Toyota .. It's Actually An Insult .. Honda Does Not Come Anywhere Close To Toyota , Mazda , Or Subaru .. Honda is At the Bottom Of The List .. I've Owned 2 Hondas Both The CRV And The Accord , And Traded Them In After Only 6 Months , They Perform Horrible in Snow , Lack in Excelling , Both On Pick Up And Going Up Hills, And The CVT Transmissions Are Pure Trash .. I Currently Have a Mazda 6, A 2017 Toyota Camry Xse, And A 2018 Toyota Rav 4 LE. and They All Run Like a Dream And Never Had a Single Issue .. Whenever You Talk About Honda People Make That Stink Face And Say " You Got a Honda " ? That Says it All.. If You Want Real Durability , Performance, Horse Power , And A Real SUV With Sport Sedan Features , Than Toyota , Mazda , And Subaru Are The Best Hands Down !!!

[@GOIN2LIVE]

Great Job. Thanks for sharing. Toyota makes an amazing product that can tow a trailer! Great job! Will be buying the Rav

[@lightningsmokerXx]

Ones a little bit Country, the other is a little bit rock and roll ;) I would buy the Toyota if it was my money, based on the fact i want to keep the car longer. naturally aspirated with a regular automatic is going to last longer than turbo with CVT. Honda Definitely has the nicer interior tho.

[@Mr-403]

The RAV4 is a rigid sturdy looking vehicle

[@sergioayon46]

They are both good vehicles but I trust more Toyota. Just my opinion!!!

[@luisgregoriojr762]

I have the Honda CR-V 2018 and I can honestly that say that it sucks in the snow. The fact that you can’t engage the all wheel drive system on demand is a problem. Amazing ride if you are driving in the highway, smooth ride, etc. However, if you live in places where it snows, please do yourself a favor and get a different vehicle. Looking to sale my CR-V now.

[@jammergreg]

The Honda is more elegant and the Toyota is more stout. In the mountains, the RAV 4 Adventure & in the city or desert the Honda....if you tow...hands down the RAV 4 Adventure.

[@liquidblackrain8148]

Loved the video was cool how u kept it real and really pushed them to show uz how well they really work thanks.

[@ZekeyTv100]

According to what I see in the video, Toyota drives a lot better in snow than Honda so the winner is obviously Toyota. If it was an interior comfort comparison or design, it will be Honda. But since it’s a snow test driving comparison it’s Toyota obviously.

[@troywoodward6892]

Funny how the Rav beat the Honda in every category but they decided the Honda was the winner . They kept admiring the loaded model of the Honda and docking the Toyota since it was a mid grade. Why didn't they do an apple to apples comparison? Also when does a system that only pushes 40% power to rear tires become preferable to a system that can lock in at 50/50?

[@hybridsnowleopard]

What categories?

[@acephantom903]

They said that Honda is more practical but the Toyota is more fun. Like the difference between a mini-van and a 2 door wrangler. And the "locking 50/50" isn't really a locking 50/50. They just say it is. Honda pilots used to have a mode similar to that which people call the "I'm stuck, get me out" mode (VTM-4). It sent up to 70% of power to the rear. How does it do that? Because if the front were to have no traction, it can provide 70% of the torque to the rear tires -- not 100% like in a vehicle with a locked transfer case. The "locked 50/50" is saying it can provide 50% to the front and 50% to the rear instead of 100% to the front and 0% to the rear. This is more than the CR-V's 60/40.

[@24cupsandcounting]

In real winter driving the CRV falls short, I own one but I won't own another.

[@eamonob84]

I used to have a 2004 CR-V and it was great in the snow. Went over a mountain pass in heavy snow in all seasons and drove right past everyone else stopped to chain up. I don't know about the other generations, but the 2nd gen has a good AWD.

[@ninaross3095]

Crv ex?

[@shawn12132]

I understand that turbocharged 4 and 6’s are great engines but for myself I hope they don’t abandon big v8’s.

[@NiteSiren64]

The Rav 4 has bilzzak snow tire on and the Honda car-v has Michelins, are those Michelins snow tires? Tires makes a huge difference in snow.

[@rhdtv2002]

NiteSiren64 all have snow tirea

[@nemo5335]

did the cars have the same tires? not really a fair test if not, because ESPECIALLY with snow tires, it makes a huge difference.

[@dmqueen5854]

hi from bosnia and herzegowina there you are popular

[@scotchbudmeister9018]

6 speed transmission vs a cvt - Toyota for me. Turbo with potential oil dilution problem vs N/A 4 cyl - Toyota for me.

[@JusticeGamingChannel]

I hope you also turned off Econ mode and maybe tried Sport mode, if you wanted more power on the CRV, the Econ mode will slow you down.

[@NathanDAdlen]

I tried every single drive mode.

[@Digidi4]

I'd take the toyota without hesitation

[@josephbell2160]

Digidi4 I'd take the Honda without doubt. IT'S BETTER

[@islawmartin7771]

[@islawmartin7771]

[@josephbell2160]

[@Dontbullymepls]

Honda’s awd system is still garbage. Has been for a while now.

[@docfaceful]

Just starting my car buying research for brand new car( i think)how is the difference in snow driving with crv 17,18 and 19 inch wheels?

[@jimwatchyyc]

Just a comment on older CVTs. I owned a 2010 Camry Hybrid, sold it 2 years ago. It never had any repairs required. What it did have was a beautifully smooth acceleration. Sold it because I needed an SUV. FWIW, I bought a RAV4. A rough ride over potholes, manhole covers, etc but otherwise happy with it.

[@jcruz7611]

I'll take the 6 speed Toyota over the CVT Honda

[@puravida9302]

The Rav is more floaty side to side steering. The Honda has better gas mileage, handling, interior space but with a CVT transmission it won't pull as much as the Rav but that's how it gets better gas mileage, all day long.

[@parkland4530]

I would like to see a comparison between the Honda CRV and the RAV4 Hybrid during normal winter driving conditions. How does each system perform on icy highways and heavy snow? I am not interested in rally performance but would like the best handling possible. Thanks

[@jimmybouchard9401]

Cvt, turbo engine (means more problems), no lock button. NEXT!

[@Bobbybeb]

I can't wait for the next gen rav4. Only about a year out.

[@jduke989]

i think it should be released in atleast September right? I am hoping they unveil it in a couple months

[@MultiWarbird]

It’s going to look very rugged, sorta like the Tacoma. Can’t wait.

If the Honda had a 2.0 T then it might be a vehicle to consider.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Aww thats cute, my 4runner would blanket them in the snow with it's real 4WD

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

I like that Toyota still makes 5 real 4x4s (4Runner, Tundra, Tacoma, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia). Honda has 0.

[@BenRSnyder]

People shopping cuv's are looking for something other than just an offroad beast. These offer affordable awd with good mpg, and good on road driving dynamics. How does your 4runner do on mpg, cornering, loading kids into child seats into the backseat, etc., compared to these? Everyone knows 4runners are just the best, but they're not for everyone.

I noticed that the Rav 4 had Bridgestone Blizzacks on it,but not sure what the Crv had for tires.This should have been noted.

[@NathanDAdlen]

The automaker added Michelin X-ice tires to the CR-V

[@chubz1978cd]

Rav4 has the Blizzak winter tires and Crv has stock michelins all season. Not fair!

[@fartman10284]

Only 40% to the rear on the CR-V? That's old technology. The old RAV4 did that (on the old external spare tire RAV4).

[@benqsmith6871]

Buying or leasing? I have Rav 4 for lease. Rav 4 consume more gas per gallon than CRV. Interior and leg room also better on Rav 4. I wish they will have V6 and 9 speed automatic transmission

Honestly I was expecting something more helpful when it comes every day driving not playing in the snow. Usually I love TFL videos

[@Tantaliz3Halo]

I guess you didn't read the title of the video

[@ryanyecny3409]

Honda guy forgot Subaru has been turboing the Forester in the US since 2004

[@Jasper0o0]

Good video. Any plans on doing the Qashqai in snow?

[@TFLcar]

No, but thanks for the suggestion!

[@aujla7564]

Hundredth Meridian rogue?

[@burgerbattle]

Sartaj Aujla it's the Rogue Sport in the US

[@aujla7564]

im incorrect lol, in canada it is called the qashqai though. yeah rogue sport in the us.

[@truth959]

Ya, I'll take fun, thank you very much.

[@aa.m5617]

Rav4 looks better an doesn't has the cvt

[@aa.m5617]

headcas620 I know but I prefer the toyota

[@JUDALATION]

grow up...mustang loser...

[@galacticmaui2]

This one doesn’t look good but the 5th gen is a looker.

[@Packinheat1175]

Honda’s Real Time 4WD system really does work good, I’ve had it on 3 CRV’s BUT why in today’s day and age would you not make the centre diff lockable??? or make the rear diff lockable more like it (CRVs have no centre diff).

[@raviram-beyondscienceandmo3103]

Hi from New Zealand

[@EATSLEEPJD]

If you are in the market for a Honda CRV please look up oil dilution or watch my video before making a purchase.

[@TheCalgarycanuck]

Toyota RAV4 with no Turbo and CVT more reliable than CRV with turbo CVT. As for driving in snow, good driver with winter tires makes a big difference.

[@mattolfson9230]

A more interesting comparison for snow days (and I mean REAL snow, not that compacted stuff in this video) would be a Subaru Forester vs a Jeep Cherokee (a Latitude with Active Drive 2 would be a more fair fight).

[@asherlopezsioson8927]

In my country the PHILIPHINES the cr v is powerd by a 1.6L diesel I-DTEC turbo charged engine 9 speed tansmition and i heard that the honda is top of the line in the philiphines the fog lights is LED just ask any question il anwer as many as i can

[@timberlinecline3667]

I had a choice between these two and a Subaru Forester and ford escape I took the escape more power better technology and much better AWD systems I was leaning towards the Subaru but it's still stuck in the past

[@ambienteterrazas]

I might have to sell my 4wd Xterra but i do have a 2016 Rav4 AWD, i just might lif it, get better tires and use it as a temporary camping rig
