Escape is smaller. The RAV4 is splitting the middle now between the Explorer and the Escape. I was actually looking at the RAV4 because I could lay down in the back of it if i wanted to sleep in it.

Rav4 can tow, CRV cannot. Real world MPG on CRV will be 34. Rav4 real world mpg is 38. Infotainment is subjective. crv has full led for 2020 okay. crv is overall a bit more spacious i will admit. rav4 is more $$$ but here is why. rav4 has a full size spare tire, crv does not. rav4 was designed to be a hybrid from chassis up. crv is an old platform that had batteries slapped in it. rav 4 has more rear cargo since the crv slapped batteries in it. rav4 has optional full pano roof. rav4 has an eawd system (debatebly better than a mech awd system but i will say a mech system is better maybe. the eawd could be awesome but toyotas programming of when to use the 2 rear motors sucks imo. rav4 has better MPG numbers both on paper and real world. 2020 rav4 base model has 8" screen vs 5" base model screen on crv. Apple and Android auto are std on Rav4 and optional on the CRV (although most crv will have it). rav4 has full 360 cameras while the CRV does not. rv4 has heated rear seats and crv does not have this. rav4 hybrid has been tested as having a faster 0-60 than the crv hybrid. rav4 does not have leather option but softex fake leather, okay +1 for CRV. CRV doors have plastic all over while rav4 has soft touch all over as in no plastic. rav4 has optional cooled seats in front and crv does not have any option. CRV is ill equipped all in all and the cheaper price justifies it.

@@jaytate491 the escape has much more passenger space than the RAV4 but less cargo space.

@@mobgma great comparison, but from the value perspective, I think CR-V hybrid EX is hard to beat

Thomas go Honda!

It's no substitute for real world test. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqalZt016elZqs.html We Take The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid To The LIMIT Off-Road Deep In The Mountains

Crv has no spare tire. If that's not an issue, the Honda is fairly nice!

Lonnie Cox they are suvs, they both suck

This isn't the RAV4 with torque vectoring that's on Limited and Trail/Adventure models. Besides roller test who cares, take it for test in real world and see how they do kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqalZt016elZqs.html We Take The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid To The LIMIT Off-Road Deep In The Mountains

@@dygardion9130 , there's nothing wrong with SUV's. You suck

Waldemar Ishibashi Open diff in the front. If the traction control system doesn’t engage, it will not send torque to the opposed wheel. Toyota has had this issue since forever.

@@afcgeo882 Toyota is the only US manufacturer that does not produce a 1/2 ton pickup with a rear locking differential. The head engineer, for Tacoma/4Runner/Sequoia and Tundra is on record stating the Tundra, even in the TRD Pro trim doesn't need a rear locker. I hope TFL does more of these tests to prove to Toyota how important locking differentials are, especially in off-camber situations.

Eat On Tre So what? Toyota never wanted to market toward off-roaders with the Tundra just as they saw no need for a half-ton, which would require too much R&D given the market preference toward American brands. In fact, no foreign company makes a 1/2 or 3/4 pick-up for that very reason. The Tundra does have a decent LSD. It’s not a locking diff, but for light duty pick-up use it does well. Tundra sales are strong, despite it being ancient and that’s what matters. We’ll see what comes on the next iteration of it. Either way, since you felt compelled to add the Tacoma and 4Runner into the mix... they do have rear locking differentials. Also, Toyota is not technically an “American manufacturer”, whatever you mean by that. They have some cars they make in the US, but it is still, very much a Japanese company.

@@afcgeo882 LUL @ "no foreign company makes a 1/2 ton for that reason". Go look at the Nissan Titan Pro-4X, it has a proper rear locking differential.

@@user-gx2bs1vq7w And nobody is buying it.

The CRV doesn't have the ground clearance that the Rav has. That would be the deciding factor off road. But 99.9% of people will never take either of these vehicles off road (except on maintained gravel or dirt roads). It's not what they are built for.

Very true. But it's worth a try.

They tested the TRD in another video, and it could push itself off the rollers with one rear wheel.

You are right, I don't think most people wear a Rolex Submariner to diving into deep ocean,even swimming .

@@jackycheung6279 thats like saying people don't offroad Mercedes Gwagons. Theres a few out there just not much. And the Rolex comparison is a bit much. Id say Casio maybe lol because the people that do dive wouldnt buy that neither

You sound like a salty toyota fanboy. Care to read the title again? Slip Test right? Not MPG test? The Honda clearly won, and for argument's sake, to your point that people buy HYBRID for their Mpg, well duh, but people who buy AWDs expect these systems to work or else they'd just get the FWD version hence this AWD TEST.

@@ednis32 it does work. For what you get this vehicle in when it comes to real world situations, this system works. You won't get stuck on the road during bad weather. You opting to call people names right off the bat to make yourself seem smarter doesn't work bro. Also there's videos out there that doesn't do slip test but actual trail and the CR-V does horrible compared to the Rav. If anyone sounds salty it's you.

@@ednis32 and you sound like walking buyers remorse. Take your Honda to the trash along with yourself

I did, they are just super squeaky

Grease, not oil

Baltazar Campos Nieto very true. Considering the videos we have seen of the older systems.

Yeah I've been pretty impressed with my 2017 CRV when light off roading. This new hybrid uses the same mechanical awd sys, so it should be the same result.

I have the Passport with the watered down SHAWD. Very good performance when I drove in Grand Canyon National Park during a snow storm.

They hybrid has a crappy awd system!

@@mtunofun1 I think current generation of CR-V it has a decent AWD, and more capable than many people think it is. But if you want something more off road orientated your Passport is the way to go

Which year? My 09 gets my out of the driveway, but I hate the system in most other conditions. Oversteer is a big problem at speed

My CRV 5MT AWD is 25 years now. Always gets us where we need to go. No AWD problems whatsoever. Just change the fluid.

Understeer is the biggest problem on the old ones like mine. Rear axle pushes and front axle has little traction so it understeers. Let off the power and the problem resolved itself.

yeah I noticed that too

Take them off rollers and into real world. They both perform well for day to day use in winter and light off-roading, which is all 99.9% of people do. I have a RAV4 hybrid XSE and it's very capable in winter and light off-roading in summer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqalZt016elZqs.html

Honda did a pretty good job. The 3 roller test gives hard times even for much more expensive 4x4 cars like Audi and BMW. From what I've seen Subaru performs the best in these tests by far.

Nevermind slip test, it's not real world. RAV4 hybrid EAWD much improved over previous model with more hp and torque and better VSC. While it doesn't have torque vectoring like Honda's it's fairly impressive in poor climate and off-roading. I've taken both off-roading (mild to moderate). Remember tires mean more then AWD system. Winter tires help more then AWD in winter and off road tires help just as much as AWD when going off the beaten path. Check out Tommy off-roading RAV4 hybrid. He was pretty impressed, so was I! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqalZt016elZqs.html

@@TheKing-hr7uh I'm considering getting the hybrid limited but didn't find anyone who used it. in your experience, do you recommend it? pros and cons? It'll be my first car so I'm nervous

My Rav4 Hybrid is amazing off-road. If you get stuck, you had no business being on that trail anyway. If it can clear it, it can drive on it, plain and simple. The only limiting factor offroad is ground clearance here.

@@James-il3tq This video is a perfect showcase where they take the same car with 4WD and summer tires and compare it to 2WD with winter tires. Spoiler alert: 4WD cant make up for crappy tires kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9qRrKuCvtelY5s.html&ab_channel=TyreReviews

I like the way you think

Have a look at this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9x-lMyJ38rYnoE.html

Probably not the Toyota since its power output is slim.

Use the old hand brake trick. Locks both rear tires. Like a locked differential.

@@angelgjr1999 LOL! These cars have Electornic parking brakes which will automatically disengage if you put into drive.

Jonathan Washington Oh my god, these CARS are garbage!

That's no fun, its like shooting fish in a barrel.

Good luck without a spare tire though

Christina Rizos you better wait, the Rav4 got over 41mpg and the crv got 35mpg in their gas milage test. You better not be to hasty

Based on their testing of Hyundai and Kia awd system,they tended to Overheat and get stuck.I will just go for Forester

Why are you a huge Toyota fan? BTW, can you help me pronounce TRD? lol

@@_Chev_Chelios My dad had a Toyota dealership where I basically spent my childhood. Just say the letters dude.

No reason to stop being one. Toyota has a giant range of 4WD and AWD vehicles for different uses. The hybrids are made for street use, not off-roading, and they’re great at it. If you need heavier duty (slightly), get the Adventure/TRD trim. If you need even more, get a 4Runner. Honda doesn’t make any real iff-roaders. They all come in one capability. They’re not bad... they’re average. That suits most people, but Toyota has a bigger range. Even the Prius and Camry have AWD now. Not Honda. Honda just does the average. That’s not to say Honda sucks. In fact, I’d probably get this CR-V over the Rav4, but... if you want something else, you’re SOL with Honda.

Josh's Drawing Life I bet yer a huuge TRD fan yer self !! 💪🏽💩✊🏽

@@_Chev_Chelios you are just a Troll with nothing better to do. Goodbye

In case of CR-V: the same result. In case of RAV4: petrol versions have much better awd systems.

RAV4 hybrid actually pretty capable off-road! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqalZt016elZqs.html We Take The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid To The LIMIT Off-Road Deep In The Mountains

So you buy an SUV just for the road? I think it should be an overall (all roads) good vehicle, not just on road where let's be honest, a wagon or sedan would do a lot better than most SUVs.

@@Jack.driver i meant 1st gen CR-V vs 1st gen RAV4, there are no videos about them

@@TemoTemo1995 1st generation of CR-V is the same as HR-V which you can find somewhere. Rav4 is missing.

IRON WILL These are hybrids. The Rav4 has 3 AWD systems, not 2.

Tommy do some truck 4w testing on the rollers

I think a truck might be too heavy for those rollers. If I recall correctly, they got them off a conveyor line so I doubt it could support a full-size truck.

alzhn that’s exactly what I was thinking
