New Toyota RAV4 vs Honda CR-V Highlights

Both the new RAV4 and the Honda CR-V make a bold impression throughout the York ME and Dover region, but only one model comes suited for your unique sense of adventure. If you are only looking at horsepower, the Honda SUV will come out slightly ahead of the Toyota, with a 184 horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. In comparison, the RAV4 comes equipped with a 176 horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a hybrid version for enhanced efficiency. We tend to consider horsepower only a small part of the overall equation when weighing models, and that's why we encourage you to give the RAV4 another look in comparison with the new CR-V. The Toyota RAV4 comes equipped with more technologies than the Honda CR-V, and the standard features are also better. The Toyota SUV features an advanced voice recognition system, intuitive audio controls, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, and a 6.1-inch touchscreen to improve your daily commute.
