The Honda CR-V is as popular as it is well equipped. With a blend of distinct exterior styling and loads of technologies, the CR-V offers families a perfect do-it-all SUV that is powered by an efficient, yet powerful engine. This year, the CR-V gets even more stylish and technological in order to keep ahead of the competition.

Today, we compare it to its close rival, the Toyota RAV4, which has suffered from production woes in the last few months, hardly reaching dealerships and affecting stocks.

Families will enjoy more comfort and more space in the 2020 Honda CR-V

A good SUV must be spacious, not only for passengers. But the CR-V does both by offering more for passengers and cargo compared to the Toyota RAV4. When the rear seats are folded, the CR-V deploys an impressive 2,146 litres of total cargo volume behind the front seats. With the RAV4, this space is limited at 1,977 litres. The CR-V also features more front head, leg and shoulder room than its rival.

The interior of the CR-V includes standard features perfect for Canadian drivers. Heated front seats keep you warm during winter driving. These are not standard anywhere in the RAV4 lineup. You can also opt for the Black Edition, which brings unique black-machined 19" aluminum-alloy wheels, a black trivalent chromium grille, and rear Black Edition badge, a piano Black interior and black woodgrain instrument panel that elevates the feeling of luxury. This premium outfit is something you won’t find with the Toyota RAV4.

The 2020 Honda CR-V saves cash at the pump

Every dollar counts when owning an SUV. The Honda CR-V is powered by a turbocharged 1.5 L four-cylinder engine that is more efficient than the RAV4’s powerplant. For example, AWD CR-Vs are more frugal during city driving, with a fuel consumption rated at 8.7 L/100 km, compared to 9.2 L/100 km for AWD RAV4s. With the FWD CR-V trim, the savings are even greater FWD with a fuel economy rated at 8.3 L/100 km in the city.
