I have owned Hondas for over 3 decades and last decade have owned Toyotas. By far, Toyotas ages more gracefully than Hondas. Toyotas also are annoyingly reliable. You will only sell your Toyota if you are bored with the vehicle…not because of quality issues.

Your ability to understand and explain mechanical engineering concepts in simple terms is just amazing to me, it's why this is my favorite car channel on youtube by far. Mad respect for all of you master techs out there

[bigdreams]

Car Care Nut, you may be a mechanic by day, but i think you were born for Youtube / making educational videos. Great explanations, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!

[edenfinch]

This is the holygrail explanation! Youtube should award this for quality. Owesome!!!

[Buffalobulltofta]

As a Toyota fan and owner, i have huge respect for the japanese sibling. They are both quality cars. I prefer the slight utilitarian dullnes of the Toyota over the Honda techy video game character, but that's just a matter of taste. I'm glad both are still putting out great cars. Now, why anyone would buy a german car over these...

As a technician Toyota is the gold standard in hybrid technology no one else especially Hyundai and Kia has never been close to Toyota reliability and longevity and they have perfected their hybrid technology for more than 25 years.

After driving Fords most of my life, I bought a new 2017 Camry. Loved it! Traded it at 2 years for a new 2019 Camry Hybrid. Beautiful, great gas mileage no issues at all. Kept it 4 years. Got most of my money back when I traded it in after 4 years for the 2023 Toyota Crown Limited with Advanced Technology Package. It only comes in Hybrid. Awesome car! Sits higher than a standard sedan, love this! All the bells and whistles. The package gives me the panoramic camera that I must have for safety. Very smooth ride, smoother than my Camry's and they were great! Today I got 52.6 mpg. Avg is 42 mpg.

I am a real Honda driver. Drove a honda shuttle for 464000 km. Now a 2007 CRV with already 370000km. My WiFi drives a 2019 CRV hybrid. Love all three of them. ☺️

[terrynewell]

Great explanation on the differences. I own both Toyotas and Hondas and you nailed it. The Toyotas are more reliable but the Hondas are just better to drive and still pretty reliable. At least that's what I tell folks.

My cousin has a 2023 CRV Hybrid and it was insane how fuel efficient it was. Of course, it got the best MPG for in town driving and all that, but held its own for long distances too. You can't go wrong with the new Honda hybrids for sure. Has this nice shuttle like sound too and it's super quiet for the most part.

We have a 2009 Prius it has 340000 miles on it. This car is unbelievable never had anything go wrong with it and still driving it. ❤❤Toyota

Excellent video Ahmed. Informative, unbiased, no BS, straight to the point. Keep the quality content coming.

[raycollington]

My car is Toyota, my motorcycle is Honda. Both great Japanese engineering. Very informative content. Thank you all at TCCN TV.

Recently purchased a 23 Rav4 Hybrid (Woodland trim!) and am loving the ride. It is very smooth from a stop. The transition to ICE is subtle and I hardly notice it, even as someone who has not had a hybrid before. The AWD system is surprisingly nice. There's ample videos showing how capable it truly is! Your videos helped a lot in making my decision and also showed me the ways to make this a LONG term vehicle

[DM-qeci]

Thank you for the great review. I have watched numerous RAV4 hybrid and CRV reviews. Most of them talk about superficial items. I've always appreciate your mechanical reviews and in-depth clarity on how systems work. Thank you again for all your great help in these reviews and explanations.

[fwood]

Just recently made my own comparison between Rav4 Hybrid and CRV Hybrid. And I chose the Rav4. It felt stronger, better acceleration, less road noise and rattling, better feeling seats, better storage space for how I use it. And a real spare tire. And I’m loving the vehicle. 45.3 mpg over 7500 miles of driving. And I’ve owned many Honda vehicles, traded from a HRV. This is my second Toyota, first was 1994.
Very happy with my decision. Thanks for being the best car channel on utube.

This is THE BEST automotive channel in YouTube. Period.

I have a 2020 Honda Insight. I drive about 500-700 miles per week for work. Absolutely love it. The two motor hybrid system is amazing. I'll likely get another Honda for work again when this one is 5-6 years old. I currently have almost 70k on it with no issues at all. I really like the new CRV that is being discussed in this video. If they don't make a civic hybrid (to replace the discontinued Insight), then I'll likely get a CRV. I've never owned a Toyota, but I've considered them and may consider one instead of the Honda possibly. Either way, can't go wrong with either system. They both seem to be bulletproof. The Japanese vehicles are so refined and reliable. Great information here from one of the best car technicians on YouTube! Keep up the great work!

Man, this guy is good, I know nothing about mechanic, but understand everything he said.

RAV 4 Hybrid 2018 4WD owner here. I swapped from a similar but 2WD RAV 4 to get Vehicle Stability Control and of course 4WD when needed. The 4WD model has 2 electric motors in addition to the 197HP petrol engine. When you floor it for a quick overtake etc, the car takes off like a rocket ! So very impressive. I love the built-in reliability and dependability of Toyota above all else and it would take a mountain to shift my love of this. Thanks for a great video AMD. You managed to explain the complex comparisons so clearly.
