Excellent review, I have a request can you please make a comparison video of the Honda safety sense (CR-V) vs Toyota safety sense (RAV4).

Great review of two exceptional CUVs. My wife loves her RAV4 Hybrid. My only complaint is I find getting in and out of the passenger seat a challenge. I don't know why cause I'm am very average.

We chose the CR-V but I've wondered if we should have gone with the RAV4! Both look great and are reliable cars. We love our CR-V for all the reasons described in this video!

I have a night vision problem. Which has stronger lights? as I can see, CRV has smaller front lights but unsure how other factors do. What’s your advice?

I love my 2019 RAV4 XLE Premium, I haven’t had any problems, I gets up and go, it’s sporty and stylish and very great on Gas. Nothing is outdated with the reading of the radio and you can use your Android features, I actually perfect it that over Apple Play. It works just the same too me. They didn’t talk about any features that the RAV4 has, Toyota connect nor did they let you know how much better the reverse cameras are and blind side are compared, this wasn’t a good review, I have seen much, much better. and by the way I have a Honda also and love it as well. To reply about my 8 inch screen and Tech all lies it’s great haven’t had problems. Talk about what you know.

No mention of CR-V having captain's chairs..? Or the fold-out picnic table? Nice 1.

They’re just so comparable generally that you have to nit pick, which is where it gets weird.

The Honda has a CVT and a turbo direct injection engine. Everything about that sends out alarm bells of reliability.

On the flip side, the Toyota 2.5 dual injection, naturally aspirated engine and an in-house auto transmission seems reliable as a rock.

However... Honda’s in-house CVT transmission has been the sole reliability stand-out from the rest and aside from the sporadic oil dilution complaints on the engine, it has also been strong. That’s in contrast to the Toyota, which has been having major issues with the transmission and engine, including a current mess with their 12v battery parasitic drain.

That, coupled with Toyota’s higher pricing, loud engine and highway road noise penetrating into the cabin has forced my wife to pick the CR-V over the Rav4.

On the hybrid front, however, she has chosen the Rav4 over the CR-V because it is much quieter on the highway, more powerful in the city and has a spare tire (the CR-V hybrid does not).

Why are we reviewing two different generations? Gotta get the last previous RAV4 model :/

[comeonman]

I test drove both and liked things about each.

[danialk]

Just bought new 2019 CRV really happy with the performance and practicality. I like CRV design better than RAVE 4.Toyota RAVE 4 looks like a car from the movie STAR TRECK.

[g-mang-man]

RAV4 has a much better reliability record and is inexpensive to maintain. The Hybrid option is the way to go. Especially if you are buying, and plan on owning the vehicle for a long time. I vote RAV4

This is a perfect review of rav4 vs crv after having watched 20plus video reviews!
CRV is exactly what I want unless it's a rav4 prime, thank you! :)

[jeremyarndt]

Love my 2019 CR-V. I would buy it again. And for the comments on oil dilution, that’s pre-2019. The CR-V feels a touch above everything in its class aside from the CX-5.
Great review!

The crv has alot of convenience options, but when i hear turbo with a CVT, I am running the other way

[Johnnybegood]

I bought a 2020 CRV diesel AWD and I love that car. It consumes 42mpg on the highway and the torque is so impressive. That car has push button shifter, panoramic moon roof plus all the features you can find to CRV here in states. I bought it for $ 41-k though, same price with Acura RDX.

[hondacr-vtouringguy]

The CR-V looks better inside and out. I think it sounds better on the road too

[Mikefoxx]

Why are they reviewing 2019 models at the end of 2020 ???

[jonharry]

Rav 4 6 months waiting list in the UK excellent car

[pavankumar]

Just bought a CRV 2021 Touring in Canada. Best car..had the Rav4 as a rental..no comparison..CRV drives better, looks great, more comfortable, lots of space.

In Canada AWD is std in CRV.
