2020 Honda CR-V vs 2020 Toyota RAV4

Serving Richardson, TX

For drivers who are actively looking for a compact crossover SUV that delivers a balanced combination of features, style, and spirited capabilities, the 2020 Honda CR-V is a natural choice. This vehicle has more than 25 years of history delighting its drivers and passengers, and the latest 2020 model reflects the culmination of five generations of profound advancements and upgrades. The CR-V is often considered alongside the Toyota RAV4. The RAV4 is also a compact crossover SUV that is in its fifth generation, but it differs dramatically from the CR-V. When you understand their critical differences, you can easily make a smart vehicle selection.

Appearance

The Honda CR-V gives the impression of movement throughout its sculpted sides while the roof remains elevated to ensure ample headroom across the first and second rows. Chrome accents throughout the lower front fascia, the grille, the roof rails, and the lower side panels add character to the CR-V’s façade. The 2020 Toyota RAV4 has edgy contours that break up the exterior flow. The large grille trends downward and is separated from the headlights. The foglamp portals are set back from the grille and lower air vent. The large, level hood commands attention across the profile, and the roof fades into the liftgate.

Features

The differences between the CR-V and the RAV4 extend beyond appearances. The CR-V for 2020 is available in four trims, and these are loaded with progressively superior finishes and technologies. Some of the items that you may take advantage of in your CR-V are wireless charging, a satellite-linked navigation system, a 9-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, HondaLink®, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch touch display screen, speed-sensitive volume control, a sunroof, a heated steering wheel with numerous mounted functions, Bluetooth, leather trim and other gear. The RAV4 is also available in several trims. Its equipment may include an automatic temperature control system, powered windows, several material options for the seating, a defogger for the rear window, remote entry, and several other items.

Performance

With a test drive, you will also notice that these two models differ in their performance capabilities. The CR-V is outfitted with an inline-4 turbocharged gas engine and a continuously variable transmission with sport mode. This combination provides you with 190 horsepower. The CR-V is also equipped with remote engine start, active noise cancellation, auto brake hold, hill start assist, and other performance-boosting features. The RAV4 has a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. Some trims come with a stop-start system, a sport driving mode, hill start assist, and other items.
