Just ordered the CRV. Did my homework and it was by far the best for me.

the crv looks much better than the rav4

Just design wise, that CRV is the most beautiful suv ever

First time watching your review, excellent work, thank you! Best regards from Finland. ☀️🇫🇮

I just got CRV Hybrid Touring & I am very pleased to watch your comparison. Good Job 👌

great comparison.. thank you. I’m seriously considering either one this week.. thank you

That intro hot dayum that bass 🔥

You car review is not lengthy but very clear and detailed on each topic. Very beautiful image.Thank you very much. Hi. I’m from Vietnam.

Great video. Nicely done and enjoyable

Great detailed review. I’m considering either of the two. Thank you.

Just stumbled across your Channel and glad I did. Very nice video. I enjoyed your comparison of CRV and Rav 4. Just subscribed. Keep up the good work.

I really liked the style of your review. Particularly the portion devoted to comfort. I have a bad back, so it’s a big priority for me

I have a RAV4 XSE hybrid that I purchased new last year. The CRV interior is what I wished my interior looked like. It’s so luxe while my RAV4 looks very plain/utilitarian. I do prefer the exterior body style of mine over the CRV though. Hopefully Toyota will work on classing up their interiors.

Very informative comparison.

Very helpful. Great video.

Very good review

Good review, thank you.

CRV es otra fragancia ❤

If one functions well, and it is easy and still comfort to operate and really reliable, then it doesn't matter if its interior design is a bit old looking. It is getting the buttons and screens to function the same. That is what happens to rav4. I am really satisfied with my rav4 hybrid limited, 2019 as compared to all my past owned honda cars. if wanting a total different experience and interior, then go try a full ev. Also rav4 outlook does stand out and that gives me a good feeling

Just bought a 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport (non-touring) yesterday and love it! I looked hard at the Rav-4 and like many things about it better than the Honda but ultimately I went with the Honda.It's an amazing car and if it proves to be reliable it will be well worth the $40k price tag.

No spare tire in the Honda CRV is a deal breaker for me. Hard to go anyplace with a flat and the RAV4 has one and will leave the Honda by the side of the road. In the end, it's what gets you to where you are going that matters and the Honda will leave you flat!

The CR-V looks much better. The RAV4 looks like a '90s Subaru Forester.

Good review.

Honda CRV otra fragancia ❤

Great intro music Do you have the song name Great review

Nice review , would you compare with nissan rogue hybrid?

Love it

Thank You M.G, my sister just got love it Honda Thy have two Toyota but to get Toyota RV4 Hybrid 6and 8 month to wait there you go lost a sell ty Ron

Has anyone else noticed that many car reviewers claim to be taller than they actually are? I think they do this to make the vehicles seem more spacious when they're filming in them. When this reviewer said "my 6'4" frame", I thought sure, tell me another one. But then standing beside the CR-V, he really is.

I like your approach to this. I've vetted both the CR-V and RAV4 Hybrids, and your analysis is spot on from what i"ve read, seen, and heard from other reviews. Not one review actually showed how you can adjust the trunk floor for a little more room. I'm definitely purchasing the Rav4 Woodland simply for my mild off roading lifestyle, price, and most importantly, gas mileage! I"ve had cars with all the bells and whistles, so that's not a priority for me. Thank you for time and sharing your experience.

Needed to have the Rav 4 XSE for this

The RAV4 uses port and direct fuel injection which allows fuel to wash over the back of the intake valves. This process keeps the valves clean and prevents them from getting carbon build up. The CRV only uses direct injection. Without the intake valves having fuel wash over them, carbon will build up over time. This can cause issues like poor fuel economy, misfires, and possibly turbo damage if not addressed. Yes, the CRV uses a small turbo engine. My choice was based on reliability, longevity, and low maintenance. The RAV4 all the way!

Thank you very much for the comparison. I really love Honda and Toyota and both CR-V and RAV4 are really great cars. - Have you reviewed the new Nissan X-Trail or as called in the United States Rogue and compare them with it? These 3 top Japanese cars and I am really confused which one to buy for my family. - Which one do you recommend to me if I like traveling with my family around 8 to 10 hours during vacation? Because I like to visit my parents during vacation and they live around 10 hours away from my work city. - Do you recommend Hybrid edition if I like traveling a lot? Thank you very much and always keep up with hard work. Sincerely, Saeed

I'm currently looking at hybrid models from both Toyota and Honda as my new car. Here in BC, Canada, Rav4 in inventory is with approx. 23% mark up over MSRP, while CR-V is sold at MSRP

Overall the CRV was a no brainer for me the 24 models added a middle model that fit my needs and was a little less expensive. Plus you can test drive one not so at the Toyota dealer plus no waiting list.

The Honda looks better.

One other difference that wasn't mentioned: Due to the location of the battery pack in each of the vehicles, the RAV4 has room under the rear storage area for a spare tire (it's only the small, temporary "space saver", but still a tire), the CR-V doesn't have room for any form of spare and has only the pretty much useless "tire repair kit". For me, in any car, that's pretty close to a show stopper.

I just bought a Rav4 Hybrid yesterday i like the mpg i didn't really care for the extra stuff it's just something else that can go bad

When Toyota decided to mandate subscription services for remote start and other features, Toyota became a problem. Add the noisy Toyota engine and the answer is a solid NO.

Honda crv excellent l love ❤️

I drove a 2021 Rav4 hybrid and my husband had to squeeze into it. He had lots of room in the 2024 CRV.

Toyota needs to work in their interiors, looks old and to me looks like a tank, that was another reason to get my 2023 sport touring hybrid so clean and nice in/outside I’m in love with CRV 😍

Has a spare tire better mpg known for hybrids easy choice Honda just has better storage by a little

Toyota must do some homework for nice looking interior design on coming versions

Interesting. If I remember correctly, the Woodland trim actually has lower efficiency compared to the other RAV4 hybrid trims. I suspect the fuel economy difference would have been even greater, if you had reviewed the non-Woodland RAV4 hybrid.

Good video. Great comparison.i loved the rav4 look but that was many years ago with current design. They've needed a redesign for quite awhile when Honda CRV looks modern and great and Sportage and Tuscon are ultra modern. Toyota rides on its reliability and better mileage. I'm leaning to Honda despite loving my 2010 Venza still going strong. I can't accept such a dated look to RAV4 which might not get a redesign until late 2024. That's ridiculous.

I just bought the CRV Hybrid Sport Touring in Black on black and I love it! It rides a lot more smoother than the RAV4 I rented last year. (God it was TERRIBLE!) but above all else it is great on gas which is a huge money saver from the vehicle I traded in.

Just want to point out the 1080p quality on your video is almost lile 480p at times.

Honda and Toyota 🤩

CR-V is a more recently updated model. RAV4 is showing age, but for certain the next gen will excel.

If I want to buy either one of them how do buy one? Unable and 3 to 5 step over msrp if you can find one

I’d pick the RAV4

Crv hybrid more noisy too much all time wind noise. I trade in 2022 evl crv hybrid and get 2024 xse rav4 hybrid and it’s beautiful. RAV4 hybrids are with spare tire that plus point when your In situation of flat tire. That helps a lots. I love rav4 hybrids and you will see more rav4 hybrids on road.

The CR-V doesn't have an EV switch because it only gets driven by the gasoline engine at "final gear" (virtual gear). Below that speed, it operates in series hybrid mode, that is, it's driven only by the electric motors and the gasoline engine operates as a generator-charger only.

Have you reviewed the Kia Sportage Hybrid? Curious how you think that stacks up. I think the top trim (SX Prestige) on that, is comparable in price to the CRV trim that you reviewed in this video. I like both - a lot. Just curious what you think.

For me, easy pic as Toyota can’t supply a RAV4 hybrid until next year while Honda had 10 of them in different colours in stock!

Nice video but not a fair comparison… took the top tier vs a mediocre trim.. and also failed to mention the reliability of the toyota hybrid system in play over a decade while Honda just started to get into. ( they were doing it previously but only dipped their toes with a few models)

Off topic but my NX350h gets more than what they advertise in gas mileage. Very impressed

You need to expand your discussion to discuss the difference between the CDT technologies. Toyota uses a planetary gear box. I need to double check, but I think Honda uses belt or chain and cone type CVT

the music at the beginning is so ominous for no reason 😭 0:37

Crv looks much better and interior of the rav 4 so cheap . I ll go for crv .

There are two things always missing in these reviews. These are SUVs, even if small. How is it offroad? Towing? For cargo space, don't cae as much about square feet, prefer to know something about actual dimensions - length, width, height

In which of these of cars hears less noisy sound when you drive in highway?

lets wait for the redesign of toyota rav4 2024

If only msrp was a thing in Canada… …waiting for the tables to turn on the greedy dealers.

I'm stuck between these two. Has anyone heard of major problems with Honda CRV engines in the 2023-2024 models ?

Its a bit disappointing that the crv costs more but has less features. I suppose its for people who like quality over gadgets

CRV feels more refined and roomier especially for taller folks. Its shaft driven rear wheels also offer better off road performance given RAV4s relatively weaker rear motor. Having said that both are boring and stand no chance agains the Model Y which is only ~$5k more in the US and on its way to break all sales records.

The thing is that in the new RAV4 you have a full digital cluster unlike in the Honda and also the new 10.5 inch touchscreen is nicer in the the RAV4. Too bad you didnt have it in a nicer trim level with leather seats etc. Here youre comparing incomparable.

The honda is just so much nicer.

Man, love the new c r v. But hump in the back along with no spare tire... Rav4 just seems too tight and uncomfortable inside... So a definite NO Besides liking the drive train better...

Can’t get a Toyota these days some models you have to wait two years or more

Is 2024 rav4 up new design? This design is pretty old I guess since 2019

Reliability? Difficult to say as the Honda is too new but the 10 year warranty on the Toyota with 15 years on the battery in the UK is a deal breaker for me.

CRV doesn't allow any spare tire dye to the dip-shittery of battery placement.

Honda has decided to released a cheep model of CRV in US vs Europe. They offer much nicer CRV-Hybrid plugin with full digital display, 360 cameras, HUD, and Panormaic roof, as well much nicer trim with out weird cheep unpainted bottom plastic. Contact Honda USA and complain about cheep version of CRV USA!

The Honda uses direct only fuel injection. In time the inlet valves will carbon up. The RAV4 uses Toyotas eCVT which has been around for 23 years, is very reliable and has no clutches, valves or fluid, unlike the Honda whose design is new and untested. The RAV4 uses a separate electric motor for AWD. The Honda uses a transfer case, shaft and diff which is heavier and requires more maintenance. After 100,000 miles, I would expect the Toyota to be more reliable.

New CRV won the battle, by huge margin! Honda has increased the new standard for the segment which Toyota have to follow and keep it up with the next gen RAV4. It's do or die for Toyota.

Technically @ any hybrid trim level of Toyota Rav4 you'll get 3 electric motor s ,compared to the honda's 2 ,Honda's transmission uses clutches to engage and disengage the gas engine + transfer case to spin the shaft which is connected to another set of clutches to engage and disengage rear drive axle, Toyota's transmission uses gears only, IMO Toyota hybrid power train is a well engineered machine.

The term Naturally aspirated should be banned from use 😂. My Toyota dealer cannot say when the RAVs will hit the sales floor, CRVs are available, so that narrows the choice. I'm not a fan of how the RAV wheel wells look. Both are fine vehicles. Toyota wants 5k above sticker--- insane! Honda charges sticker and then their dealer package- lojack , etc and so forth, so It's not all about sticker price, due to the crazy greed the dealers have.

You can grab a toyota hybrid le for so cheap! Honda you have to grab the higher tims for the hybrid

Show us the spare wheel?

You know how to review mate.

RAV4 is for me ❤

2024 CRV has a 15% stiffer frame and handles superb. Leaves RAV4 in the dust. Drives like a small car and so quiet and smooth acceleration. Divine!

If I have more budget I would buy a Lexus😀

The small disadvantage in gas mpg is worth it to get the crv cause it’s much more roomy tbh

Over 1000 litres in cargo space?! Wtf is that? A van? Wrong numbers or just marketing by measuring all cabin instead up to the back window

So let say you can afford both of them and first time buy a hybrid car. Which one will you choose

They are both too expensive compared to comparable gas options, for it to be financially advantageous. It takes too long for you to come out ahead. If one saves, say 3 liters per 100 km, and that is a big if, because we're still talking heavy suvs here and not little sedans like the Prius. Driving 20k km in a year, would save 600 liters of gas. If gas costs, say $1.67 per liter, that it cost $1,000 less in gas per year. But if the car costs 10 grand more, you'd have to drive it for 10 years to break even. And then there is the car loan to consider, which makes it worse. Sure, it drives nicer. Probably quicker to accelerate. That's great. But purely money wise, I don't think so. There are often people that like to cherry pick and select listings where on paper it looks like it would cost a mere 2 grand to get the hybrid option over the gas option. But in practice it does not work out that way. What's available is just far more expensive than 2 grand more. Also, compare across brands. When I say comparable, you have to consider the Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX-5, and VW Taos/Tiguan (honestly I don't know specially about the VW), Hyundai Tuscon, Kia Sportage, Ford Escape, Mitsubishi Outlander, and possibly more. Similar size, weight, seating space, cargo area. Looking across all those options, and it becomes clear that in practice, it will cost a heck of a lot more than 2 grand for you to drive a similar hybrid off the lot. That's just how it is. It's possible to cherry pick lists to make oneself feel good about spending the money, but you're basically being had, and turned a blind eye to protect that confirmation bias. That's how humans work, when one wants to love a choice. Cars are often an emotional decision, and not a logical one. And that's ok though. Just know that if one truly wants to make a claim how they saved money, they'll discover there wrong when battling out the numbers - which I have done many times. For example, Outlander PHEV doesn't save money at all. The car is just too expensive. I'm seeing how in Canada the RAV4 PHEV *USED* is pushed at nearly 60k (CAD). Oh, and then there are the waiting lists. Oh, and this year, while I hoped that the car market would improve, it seems it's not improving. I'm seeing car prices rise further, again ! *IS* it shortages, I wonder? Is the industry purposely aggravating things by maintaining what seems like slowness. So long as possible enter the waiting list, they still sell the same number of cars. It seems that lineup is benefiting the industry. Is that lineup artificial at this point, I wonder... all to drive up and maintain an inflated cost. It's all a game of money in the end.

Имам Rav4 2016 hybrid...200000km...Никога до сега освен масло и филтри и гуми 1 paar,нищо повече несъм сменял.Няма перфектна кола.Но за тези 47 000еuro e Super. ❤Toyota rav4 hibride executie

He even sounds bored driving it

CRV fir me❤

In USA Honda CRV is cheaper then RAV4 hybrid

However, however, however

You forgot to mention that the Honda doesn't have a spare tire, but the Toyota does. That is the biggest deal breaker for me. The tire kit is a waste of time I'll take a temporary spare anytime.

There's no question Toyota hybrid is way up there in efficiency and reliability. But there are more about owning a car than just that for me. For that I think Toyota has a lot of work on other aspect of their cars. This gen of CR-V has a lot of improvements on exterior styling. But I believe that rear right design is pretty much taken from Volvo. I don't like the interior grill style dash. But again this gen dash is a good improvement over the last gen for sure. Hope the driving dynamics have improved as well as all the previous gen CR-V are simple not good to drive. Neither an SUV nor a car making them awkward and simply absent of any character in a vehicle

crv

the CR-V Hybrid is way overpriced. Honda has been out of control with their pricing latley and they don't offer Canadians the same choices as Americans, thats insulting and greedy. If anything people can wait 1 more year for a brand new Rav4 that'll set the standard again. Toyota said the new 2025 Rav4 will have their new Solid State battery too.

Rav4 is better than crv. More space and powerful.
