SUV Battle: 2024 Honda CR-V vs 2024 Toyota RAV4!

[@AutoJeffReviews]

Who has the better front end, profile, back end, interior styling and features?

[@STVolgs825]

The front end of the crv looks a bit more fresh. The RAV4 is not bad though.

[@jacobpetersen5662]

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.

[@OneMoreMrSmith]

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.

[@henryhonda8408]

@@OneMoreMrSmith turbo engine was a big deal breaker for me so I bought a Rav4. No spare tire didn't help either!

[@bill.godwin-austen]

@@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.

[@Quickjob519]

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.

[@marajevomanash]

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.

[@garrymilner3294]

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.

[@MrLuiyi02]

That tells you that people actuality buy more RAV4

[@Kuya_Raf143]

Yes it's takes 2 months to deliver but you need to pay down deposit 😁

[@waltchan]

CR-Vs are less popular now due to declining reliability rating by Consumer Reports. More people are migrating into Toyota now away from Honda.

[@realJimmy_Balls]

Honda crv has been updated in 2023. Rav4 was last updated in 2019, since then they have been releasing new facelifts yearly. I would wait a year or two until Toyota releases brand new Rav4 model.

[@ericwang1151]

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.

[@rilwanbary7954]

not to mention no turbo engine so longer life, more efficient hybrid system, ecvt transmission on toyota more reliable.

[@JohnWickkkkkkkkk]

@@kevinabraham2029 go crv hybrid

[@flyboy7588]

@@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.

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.

[@kimcissell1905]

The head room is not much. A larger person could not fit in.

[@stopthebs77]

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 👎👎👎👎

[@sempei58]

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

[@MyonlySecret]

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.

[@Childfree334]

I have no idea what y'all are talking about. I am a 5'11" woman and have no issues getting in and out of my 2021 Rav 4 XLE. I have plenty of room in the drivers seat as well.

Hey Jeff, include driving experince as well in your comparisons.

[@404notfound.....]

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.

[@dejavu666wampas9]

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.

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

[@jacobpetersen5662]

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.
