The CR-V looks nicer than the Rav4 in my opinion.

@gilbs72 Ай бұрын

True, the current RAV4 is getting old. There should be a new one in a year or two.

The turbo makes me nervous as I tend to own. Cars 10-15 years…..will the turbo require mote service and hold up over that time?

@Mikek88 7 күн бұрын

@@stickbrick8219just don’t be late with your oil changes especially with a turbo and you should be fine. The turbos have come a long way and I think are good for 150k miles without issue

I’d go CRV, better looking exterior, seems roomier too.

Definitely feels roomier, better interior comfort wise. It just needs everything else from the rab for power train et cetera

I have a 2024 model, sport touring, so pretty much everything shown here is in that car as well. Not buying a new CRV until they actually gove us a FULL digital gauge cluster. Its getting crazy how pretty much every other honda model has the new all digital gauge except the CRVs

@Lyndon1117 Ай бұрын

I'm in the market for a new car and the CR-V is on my list of contenders, but the lack of full digital gauge cluster, ventilated seats, head-up display makes me want to wait. Seems weird that the highest trim wouldn't have these features. How do you like your CR-V overall?

@jigendaisuke3804 Ай бұрын

I find I weird as well since Honda’s other models have a full digital cluster. Even on the lower trims. Weird that they still use a partial digital cluster on the 2025 CRV

We have a 14 CRV. I am reluctant to buy a 2025 until Honda fixes the sticky steering issue. Some folks have been without their CRV for months as the parts are on back order.

Same. And the problem has been on civics for YEARS with no fix from Honda. Pretty disappointing.

I have a 16 CRV Touring and have begun "toying" with a trade In and getting a new CRV. It's my Wife's CRV. Only 47K miles on it. I have not had a Sticky Steering issue in ours. Currently weighing either the 2025 CRV (or a 2024 = wonder if there are any differences?) EX-l or Touring vs a Sport Hybrid Touring. The Sport Hybrid Touring is about $5K more but gets more HP /Torque with 20% better MPGs. I wonder if the new Non Hybrids wth the 1.5L Turbo engine have resolved the oil /Gas mixing issue I have read about concerning that engine ?

@@Chiroman527 I sell Hondas/ The hybrid Touring is my choice. I've driven them all. I do tell people that normally the extended warranty is not worth it, however on hybrids it's worth getting an extended for the 7 years warranty. More expensive to fix later down the line. Worth the peace of mind.

@hypnoticimage9687 7 күн бұрын

Stick with Toyota. Honda reliability drop off so much. There’s too many problem with Honda now and they don’t fix it quick like Toyota when there is an issue. Look up FCW/LDW failure on KZfaq for Civics and Accord. Honda dealership wants 1500 up to 3000 dollars to replace the ABS module but it should be a recall.

I recently pulled a deposit on a 2024 RAV4 Hybrid Limited and went with a 2025 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. Aside from the price difference, the main reason why I went with Honda over Toyota is the "cablegate" (High Voltage Connector corrosion issue) on the RAV4. If you're not familiar with the issue, go research it - it'll definitely make you think twice about the long-term reliability of the RAV4. Not having to worry about a 6K cable going bad every so often because I live in an area where salt is used on the road in the winter is enough for me to go with the CR-V over the RAV4.

@ericwang1151 26 күн бұрын

We test drive a 2025 CRV EXL, and 2024 Rav4 XLE Premium. We bought the Rav4. CRV is larger, and that's the only advantage we found. Its second row seat is not comfortable, and we don't like there are two more shifts after the "D". Plus, it is about 10 horsepower fewer than Rav4.

@MochaFrap4 Ай бұрын

I prefer the crv design over the rav4, I’m sorry it’s just the rav4 just looks so outdated and the interior on that one just feels more cheap then the crv. Again this is just my opinion

@adamholbrook2281 11 күн бұрын

I liked the body style of the previous gen better, but it could just be because I'm not used to it yet. I have a 2015 CRV I use as a work vehicle and it's been great. It has over 200k on it and I'll be looking at a newer version soon. I'm glad they are stepping up the fit and finish game it was sorely needed. They (Honda's in general) had too much loud hard cheap feeling plastic in their vehicles recently. Is the ground clearance lower on these or does it just look like it? I can change the oil in my 2015 without ramps etc. and that is something I really like about it and my wife's 2021 Outback. Thanks for the review.

@wantsanewvehicle Ай бұрын

Not in my opinion. Back in 2021 I had needed a new vehicle. I specifically wanted either a rav4 hybrid or crv hybrid - this would be the current rav4 hybrid or previous gen crv hybrid. Both of them were brand new, I test drove the crv hybrid and did not care much for the interior, and when you had the a/c on (probably heat too) and came to a stop or anytime the engine turned off, you could tell by the blower speed and temperature difference. I did not like this. I then test drove the rav4 hybrid and you could almost not even tell if the engine was actually on or not. I then bought a rav4 hybrid and had it for a year and 14k miles. I ended up selling it because I wanted something with more power, a better heated steering wheel (rav4 only heats on sides), ventilated seats, and a better sound system (I had the jbl in the rav4, which wasn't bad I just wanted better) and most importantly - being a hybrid...I made $4k more than I paid for the vehicle new. I wasn't sure what to get then though and didn't have a single issue with the rav4 lol. But this new crv was out, so I went and test drove one. Definitely better than the previous gen, but I dunno..I still don't like it. So, I went and ordered a new rav4 exactly like the one I had previously. I was told it would take about 3 months to come in (or less). I waited a little over 4 months and ended up buying a 2023 santa fe limited - which had all the features I wanted except I didn't get the hybrid version. Figured I would just trade it in when the rav4 finally came in but then I enjoy everything about the santa fe more so than the rav4 except the fuel economy so I ended up just keeping the santa fe.
