Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V (GEN 2) Big comparison!

Had the Subaru Forester as our primery car and the CRV as the wifes secondary car. The Forester was by far the nicer car to drive and had superior offroad capability. A bit smaller cargo wise. Traded it in after 350k for a truck. After 20 years we still have the CRV with 240k and going strong. Wife loves it.

RAV4 every time. The model shown is a Base version of the RAV4 4.2 Gen. Honda's are very good, but I never liked the AWD it had. Seen too many stuck due to the strange AWD setup Honda has. The RAV4 4.2's biggest problem was ground clearance, it's permanent 4wd was one of the best back then except for Subaru which it was very close. Throw in LSD which some models had and a small lift kit with decent tires, it was a beast.

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Yes, every car has something good. Both of these cars are reliable. The Rav4 has a better 4x4 system and the CR-V is bigger and roomier. AWD wasn't primarily made for heavy off-road use in CR-V. It's more of a general purpose helper. But I have to say, I've always overcome a lot with it. Summer and winter. It would be nice to combine the Rav4 and CRV together 🙂 .

My dad bought a 2005 RAV4 2.0D that had 348k km and that has been abandoned for 3 years, but a full service and maintenance history sheet . It had no battery...simply abandoned. He bought it, restored and repaired it and now he drives it on long trips and/or in winter time. The car is absolutely amazing! Sure, it lacks a lot of features, it's not as comfortable as a newer car, the EGR is a bit problematic with some faults, but what a car... Now he as 365k km with it. And he enjoys it whenever he drives it. And for a permanent 4*4 with a transverse engine layout, it's surprisingly capable on a light off-road setup.

Я ему сначала предлагал купить у него его машину, но Алекс сказал что ему стыдно за состояние автомобиля, поэтому никаких денег с меня не возьмёт. Это весьма благородный поступок. Состояние действительно было очень плохим: пришлось менять очень много проводов под передней панелью. Ходовая вся была гремящейся, задние колеса разваленные, были вибрации при наборе скорости. Все это уже сделал... Теперь, а теперь я чаще всего рулю одной рукой... Потому что вторая рука бывает занята вытиранием слёз счастья 😊

Привет, я рад за вас. Этот автомобиль попал в хорошие руки, и я уверен, что он прослужит вам долгое время. Не забывайте регулярно проходить техническое обслуживание. Помимо моторного масла, также трансмиссионное масло и масло заднего дифференциала. И помните, что в заднем дифференциале используется только оригинальное масло Honda! Если вы зальете другое масло, у вас могут возникнуть проблемы. Также обработайте спреем полости и ходовую часть автомобиля. Используйте средства на основе воска, а не резинового битума. Пусть ваш автомобиль прослужит вам долго!

Perhaps Honda's most practical car. The amount of storage space, nooks and crannies everywhere, a rear pop out window, the removable back seats and the absolutely bulletproof engine are a combination nonpareil. Buying it for 19K in 2004, I have 181,000 miles on the vehicle and have not had a single problem with the engine, suspension or tranny. Same timing chain. Unfortunately, the a.c. systems are prone to literally falling apart around 125,000 miles (mine did and it cost too much to replace. Ugh) and some of the door and window electronics can be troublesome. Gas mileage is mediocre and power is adequate; however, it has a great AWD system and excellent ground clearance. As the cliché' states, they don't make these like they used to.

Both cars are very good build and quality , lets not forget there is no one like Japanese Enginering . Honda got more space and is running more on the front drive train , the 4x4 it starts when is necessary , definitely using more fuel and is heavier , strong suspension and more space on the boot from previous gen1 . From another side you got Toyota Rav4 2nd Gen. Super reliable cars , strong suspension , here the drive train is stuck whole 4x4 . More economical , motorway can reach to 6l/100km or around 47mpg (D4D engines) Both cars are very reliable and i think here is much about your own choice . If you decide to get diesel bear in mind that the clutch are very expensive and need to be careful about bad diesel fuel , also DPF EGR Turbo if driving in city i dont recommend or make sure to using engine cleaners Petrol engines are bulletproof and can easy be instaled LPG (GAS) if available and allowed in your country Toyota Rav4 is necessary to be replaced oil differential on every 60000 KM or 40K Miles which is half of the others crossovers , about Honda CRV make sure you using Genuine Honda Oil , is not expensive ! Is your own choice which one you take , they wont let you down if you love and treat them right , you going to have long journeys without to worry you break down or your wife drive through the curb. I'm already owner of the both manufactures and i will always choose JAPANESE !

There is a wasted space under the table because in Japan the crv was sold in two distinct finishes, with or without the spare wheel on the door.

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

@rayal4860 The tank could have been expanded into that empty space and not have to stick out stupidly on the chassis. The spare wheel on the tailgate gives the CRV just the right amount of style.

'05 5spd manual AWD owner, and loved this video. Great to see these 2 icons compared, and as always, the filming, and editing, are fantastic! 2 beautiful examples of the models. I sure wish we could have had them as diesels in the US! I feel lucky to have even found one with a 5spd manual transmission. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on which one you liked more, overall, having tested them in the same driving conditions. Did one of them stand out? Quieter, more power, nicer feeling ride, better AWD function, better visibility out the windows, etc? They both seem fairly equal in the video, but I've never driven, or ridden in the Rav4, so I have no idea. I sure wish Honda would have relocated the fuel tank, and gotten ride of the fold-up table, and that wasted spare tire space below it (that the advertised in the US, was a "cooler" or "ice chest" for food). In my opinion, it was a poor choice to leave the fuel tank hanging down and in the way, with just a metal tube to protect it, and I feel the same with how they hung the exhaust system, with the catalytic converter and large resonator, both hanging down below the car, like an after thought. I really like mine, but these are a few things that make me say, "What were they thinking?" Thanks for all the time you put into making this video!

@@OutOfTheWay4x4 I completely understand about the time it takes to make the video, and also having time for a real job, and family! 2 things I'd like to suggest: - A little less music, so we can hear the engines doing their thing, and the exhaust, and the tires. So maybe when the cars are really working to get traction, or accelerate hard, the music can be blended away. - On a comparison video like this one, when you list specific statistics for 1 car, also list the same statistic for the other car, so that the viewer can instantly compare. Otherwise, the viewer has to wind the video forward or backward, in order to see how long the Rav4 is compared to how lone the CR-V is, etc. Be sure to let that K24 in the Honda, wind up over 4,500rpm and then go higher, because that's when the rotary valve opens, makes the intake runners longer, and suddenly, the engine actually starts to make power. It's sort of funny when it happens, because you can literally say, "Ok, here it comes. We're about to make some power."

@@austinado16 Otherwise to your question.. I've owned 4 CRV's, I only have a Rav4 on long term loan now..Well my opinion is that the CRV is much more spacious and comfortable. It is much more suitable for a family. The Rav4 is better for off road. It is shorter overall and has permanent 4x4 drive. I found the Rav4 a bit more fun to drive. Its diesel was only 85kW, but its off-road power was a lot better than the 110kW petrol CRV. But it's a tribute to the diesel. My feeling is that if I didn't necessarily need a big comfortable car for the family as well, I'd opt for the Rav4 myself.

Im currently deciding between both cars. Speaking interior and long trips honda seems to have clear advantage. How would you say they compare while driving though? Looks like that muddy climb was much harder for honda than a toyota, but was it due to poor drivetrain performence (i have read a lot of bad opinions about it) or rather just more difficult conditions

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

When it comes to interior, comfort and size, the Honda CR-V is a winner. It is supremely comfortable to drive on the road. The problem with the i-vtec is that it is an engine that gets more power only at high revs. And that's not very good off-road. Otherwise, it's an absolutely great and reliable engine! The Toyota Rav4 is smaller, has a smaller wheelbase and permanent all-wheel drive. Some have a reduction gearbox. The Honda CR-V can't compete with that off-road. But as for the video, when I shot the CR-V it was muddy... the Rav4 had frozen dirt. So the CR-V had it harder. But it made it.

id love to see this with the 3rd gen, specially rav4 with v6 and the crv with the k-series

[@predraglazic5494]

GREAT GREAT VIDEO 🎉🎉🎉

[@ianrodriguez4588]

Tengo una duda, la honda como le activas el 4x4 o sola se activa Bueno espero me puedas responder

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Hola. El sistema 4x4 se cuida solo. En el Rav4, es tracción permanente a las cuatro ruedas. El sistema elige qué relación enviar al eje delantero o trasero según sea necesario. Y con el CRV, la tracción es principalmente al eje delantero, pero si hay deslizamiento, el sistema conectará automáticamente el eje trasero también.

I had a 2001 RAV 4 and now have a 2005 CRV. The biggest problem with 2nd gen RAV 4's is that they have notorious ecm's that cause hard shifting. Once that's repaired or replaced however, they're both decent all-around vehicles aside from poor fuel economy at about 19-22mpg.

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

I have to say I like both of these cars even though each is different in some ways..

[@alexandrumihaibudes3852]

Considering an CRV II also, but fuel consumption is a bit high on petrol. Is the 2.2 diesel problematic?

[@mauricioalannavarretefuent6966]

Gracias por el vídeo

[@philiptaylor2567]

Of these two, which one is quieter with road and wind noise? And which one has the smoother riding suspension??

Prosímtě neměl by jsi někde možnost udělat takovýhle test s nissanem x-trail t30 ?? :)

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Ahoj, bohužel o žádném Nissanu X- trail ve svém okolí nevím. Když bude možnost..

[@GeometryDash-xj1ih]

Владел и Хондой и Рав4, хонда на трассе 8 л/100км,рав4 10л/100км,потому что у рав4 постоянный привод, все 4 колеса крутятся, а у срв только при пробуксовке, машины на акпп, хотя у вас мкпп

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Зависит от двигателя. Этот RAV4 с дизелем мощностью 85 кВт может работать на 7 литрах или меньше. И это довольно проворный автомобиль.

Yes, that's right...

[@CRYO01]

There is d1 and d2 in honda. This is in case you want to drive in snow or mud, but my friend probably did not choose to use it.

[@RenatoSilva-lm3un]

Very good

Honda CR-V s9a 🎉🎉❤❤

[@jorgemoreno495]

What is your choice rav4 or crv ?

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

As I've written here before.. Both cars are amazing, quality and are true SUV icons. They're each a little bit different. The Honda CR-V is primarily front-wheel drive. The rear wheels are added automatically when needed. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well off-road as the Rav4's permanent 4x4. But the CR-V is roomier and more comfortable. I'd go with this: If I had the car as a family car at the same time, I would definitely choose the CR-V. If I were on my own and only had the car for my driving, I'd probably choose the Rav4. It's tough, both cars are just great.

[@samthenothing]

is that a Diesel D4-d engine? Frist time seeing a diesel RAV4.

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Someone already wrote the same thing here. But in our country (Czech Republic) there are very many diesel Rav4 D4-D 2.0. Even elsewhere in Europe..

[@Alex-mz3tg]

I like the Honda better.

My dad had a honda cr-v 2006 it crash so my dad is at hong kong #kingkong wille im in the Philippines (Edit) press if you love hong kongs 👇🏻 👇🏻 👇🏻

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

I've never been there but it must be a fantastic place 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@loveubobby]

You must be a Honda lover...You got the Rav4 stuck (2:37) did'nt drive with much power. The CRV you made sure to have enough power going forward (11:25), not to get it stuck....

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

When I drove the Toyota Rav4 through the same spot, the ground was frozen. The car fell through and got stuck in the ice. Normally, the Rav4 would have no problem getting through.

[@fawahdadosh]

🎉

[@НиколаЗекан]

Wich type and dimension of tyres is on this Toyota?

[@Unshapenkris]

backseats in the rav4 can only be lifted when the seats are in the backmost position.

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Yes, I know. They were in the right position. Unfortunately, the mechanism was rusted. It's been repaired in the past.

[@markomihailovic3020]

I think that the mechanism on the seats in rav4 is okay but it doesn’t work if the seats are pulled all the way forwoard

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Yes, I know. I've tried all the positions. It was really rusty... It's been fixed years ago, but it's stuck again.

[@reeltomeal]

Rav4 Slide the rear seats in its furthest back position before tilting them. They wont tilt otherwise😊

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Yes, we've had the car for many years....As I've posted here several times, these seats were in the correct position. The mechanism was rusted. The seats have already been repaired because of this.

[@MrBrzosti1989]

Toyota is much better. The Honda's drivetrain often breaks down off-road. The Honda is not AWD, it is a FWD car with a plug-in rear.

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

CRV is Real time AWD.. I have had 4 CRV's and have never known a breakdown..never anything..just routine service. But the Rav4 is also a perfect car.

[@MrBrzosti1989]

@@OutOfTheWay4x4 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpKQm2mLg6aljtk That's bullshit, Honda turns on the rear wheel drive. You can see it in the video. Honda needs to make a full turn of the wheel. So where is this real time awd?

[@MrBrzosti1989]

Honda starts the drive with a pump, it is not a real AWD / permanent AWD drive@@OutOfTheWay4x4

[@JBlinky67]

Which one better for snow?

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

It's all about the tyres..In the video the CRV has slightly better tyres. Both cars are capable in the snow. But the Rav4 has permanent all wheel drive, which makes it better off road and in snow.

[@OutOfTheWay4x4]

Definitely the CR-V. It absorbs noise well and is perfect on the road. It's better in the corners. It's more comfortable to drive in all directions. Rav4 is more suited for lighter terrain and driving Rav4 is more adventurous 🙂 . I like both these cars. The most comfortable car on the road is of course the 3rd gen CR-V.
