I bought a CRV sport last week and drove to Edmonton. From Edmonton I drove my friends new Rav4 Limited to Jasper. Comparing the two the Rav 4 had a harder ride, and reved hard when over taking. The CRV had better torque delivery for overtaking. The CRV had a softer ride and the auto drive mode with the lane assist was waay better. The RAV 4 lane assist kept on adjusting and was really a safety hazard at times. The RAV 4 had better all round cameras for reversing. But not needed if you do old school parking using the cameras. Overall I preferred the CRV. Day to day driving it was softer and easier to throw around. I love your channel, but please please please keep in mind the target demographic when reviewing the vehicles. Ive looked at so many SUV video reviews and they cover things that are not relevant to my buying needs. The Rav 4 was faster in your review, but in the real world, I drove in the mountains. We had a truck veer into our lane when we were overtaking(we had a child in the car). I floored it, the RAV4 gave high revs and no actual torque. On the CRV, the the torque delivery was waay better and better suited for over taking in hard situations as I described. Both are good vehicles, but redo the review with a road trip with a 10 year old child. Different pros and cons come out with both vehicles.

I’ve always been a Honda guy and still love them. I’m giving my folks my 2011 CRV EXL with 140,000 miles on it and I trust it will work for them for years to come. That said, I’m buying a 2021 Rav 4 TRD. A couple reasons. Towing is up to 3500 pounds. Good size disc brakes. Oversized radiator, transmission cooler and 150 amp alternator. 8 speed transmission means it will be easier on the engine. I’m 65 and it’s the lady car I’m planning on owning, so buying new and maintaining it from mile one is important to me. Looking forward to trying the heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel in the winter and all the optional off rode settings. Sounds like great gas mileage as well. Lastly, the style of the Rav 4 is mush better in my opinion. Either make wins, it’s all personal choice

I bought a RAV4 Hybrid Limited edition recently. Slightly slightly punchier than the non-Hybrid engine, but not by much, but just fantastic fuel economy. There were no Primes in this part of the world at the time of purchase so I went with the regular Hybrid. Still a great SUV. Can’t wait to see the CR-V refresh.

@@petermacdonald6332 Actually I found out that the non-hybrid may be slightly punchier because of its 8-speed transmission. I’m totally not liking the CVT transmission in the hybrids whatsoever. Should’ve learned my lesson when I sold my 1.5T CVT Civic 😟

Rav4 is easily better. CRV is still good but drives pretty crappy and has that groany noise when you try to floor it and lack of power. RAV4 also trumps over CRV because Rav4 has hybrid powertrain whereas CRV lacks that (in the canadian market). CRV has the only advantage is interior and cargo space is slightly more spacious, but that's about it. Also, RAV4 is way better looking (especially the XSE trim) there is no competition.
