Which is the BETTER SUV for Nigeria? FIND OUT NOW! | Honda Crosstour VS Toyota Venza Comparison

The Honda Crosstour and the Toyota are very popular Crossover SUVs in Nigeria that everyone tends to buy when a car with utility is needed, however it seems like even though they were made for the same purpose, they are very different in offering use to owners. In this video, Crank compares the two cars for Nigerian buyers so that they can make a choice on which Nigerian used/Foreign used Crossover is better for use in Nigeria.
They are both come in Front-wheel drive and All wheel drive option…in the video, Rear-wheel drive was stated, it was an error please take note
Hondas are generally the less preferable cars when compared with Toyota but these cars are equally good but it is a matter of what the buyer needs from a Crossover SUV.
The Honda Crosstour might be the less desired car but it has its own Pros which you can understand from the video.

Honda engines are FAR better and more durable than Toyota engines. I’m very sure about that one any day. Toyota transmissions are sharper. When it comes to legs, Toyota parts are more durable. For comfort, venza beat crosstour. For dashboard, crosstour wins. For leather seat, venza wins; Honda leather no like hot weather. AC equal. Sound system, crosstour wins. Interior plastics, crosstour wins. The crosstour has better stability while driving. Exterior design, I go with crosstour based on personal preference, it’s sportier but smaller; venza is bulky with plenty space almost like sienna (for family). Common issue with venza I4 is the intake runner valves(rpm’s either too low or too high). They are both reliable and practical

[@ruupdates3723]

Thank you sir. People just feel toyota is better because they see more of it. Honda drives better than Toyota depends on the spec.

[@samuelakpan7614]

Nice review man..... I've always contemplated between these two

[@sojioguns]

There were many errors in this video. First off, both come in either Front wheel drive or AWD. Neither of them comes in a RWD version. Secondly the Honda engine puts out more horsepower and torque than the Venza, hence the Crosstour is a faster vehicle. Lastly in terms of maintenance they are both very similar. The problem is our lazy mechanics just don't pay attention to manufacturers specs for maintenance and when things go wrong they blame the car.

I think you're coming from a place of extreme bias. I've used both cars and can comfortably tell you that the Honda 3.5l VTEC engine is waaayyy more resilient than the 2gr-fe 3.5l Toyota engine. You may ask auto technicians..... those Honda engines are bullet proof. The suspension on the Honda is multi link which gives a better handling than the Toyota. Did you say that the venza has NO known generic issues? It was a good video though but it was largely an embodiment of your perceptions without much substantiation.... try to give details when giving your opinions on cars. I'm not a Honda employee or enthusiast BTW just someone who has impartially used these brands 😁 Cheers bro

[@georgeprecious1036]

Also 4wd and Awd are 2 different things. 4 wheel drive means 4 wheels move at the same time when engaged like when the car is in a bind whilst the Awd engages the wheel it needs by sending power to the wheel that needs it the most.

[@olawaleolajide3445]

I think you mixed them, AWD means the throttle controls all wheels with no options of switching between axles while 4WD gives you the option to switch from both axles to front or rear.

[@georgeprecious1036]

@@olawaleolajide3445 not really. AWD is always on but send power automatically to where it is needed, if power is needed by one wheel it sends all power there. For 4wd you have the option of turning it off and on, power goes to all wheels when 4wd is on, the car is either front or rear wheel drive typically, so if it’s front wheel and you turn 4wd on the back wheels get power in addition, same if the car is back wheel.

GLK/Rx should be it competitors even with price ranges 8-11m Great video!

[@234drive]

Hmmmm I doubt it can compete with the GLK and Lexus just based on interior quality but I get your point.

[@hojochijioke7068]

There is nothing like crossover SUV. When comparing the for cylinder engine of both cars, the Honda crosstour has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and makes 192 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque while the 2014 Toyota Venza has a 2.7-liter I-4 producing 181 hp and 182 lb-ft of torque. The Venza drives better because it has more torque and not because of weight. I would suggest you do more research on the cars before you talk about them. It would be nice if you can also review Nigeria/ African made cars. I am a car enthusiast, And I love cars.Thanks

Great and informative review, it's a reflection of the majority perspective in the Nigerian context. However, the majority is not necessarily always correct. Our obsessive preference for Toyota is emotive not completely factual. For example I've used a Toyota Tundra and a Ford F150 and found the F150 more economical, resilient, better off road and cheaper to maintain in Nigeria. But most people will find that hard to believe. Can you also do reviews that are not so Toyota based. It gives the impression the only car you can use successfully and trouble free is a Toyota. That's not true, expand your reviews to other makes and you will find some Hidden gems. Well done 👍🏿

You are right.. we think the most economically cars are Toyota's

[@babatundeamuda8619]

I also disagree with you in the aspect of which one drives better. If you drive J35 v6 engine of Honda crosstour and 2GR V6 Toyota Venza the both comes with 3.5l engine capacity. Just like you said crosstour is heavier, science proof the more the car heavy the more it speed and the stability of the crosstour is more stable than the Toyota venza. Though Toyota venza 2GR comes with 22 pin gear which tends to have more speed than 13 pin gear but yet crosstour still take the lead. For maintenance Toyota venza is more vulnerable to fault than the crosstour the cost of maintenance is more than crosstour if you talk of pano, power booth, and all these cameshaft sensor, vvti sensor on each cylinder head and so on o. All in all the both cars are good and can easily be maintained here in Nigeria. I didn't have much time I would have take time to explain very well for prospective buyer. Thanks
