2019 Toyota RAV4 vs 2019 Honda CR-V

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Takes on The 2019 Honda CR-V

Currently, few other automotive markets in Winnipeg are as hotly contested as the compact SUV market. With their high driving positions, remarkable fuel economy, all-weather performance, and prodigious cargo capacities, these vehicles prove ideal for people all across Manitoba. As a result of intense demand, dozens of vehicles have popped up in a bid to win over the people’s hearts and minds.

However, only two vehicles stand above the rest in this crowded segment – the 2019 Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. These two have viciously competed against one another for years, and McPhillips Toyota pitted these two against each other once more to see which of these compact SUVs ends up on top!

More Choice = More Fun

The 2019 CR-V provides intense competition thanks to features like a turbocharged engine, excellent city fuel economy, and features like remote engine start. However, the RAV4 fights back with perks like a more powerful 6-speaker stereo system, keyless entry, adaptable cruise control, and more front legroom than its Honda competitor. There’s even the more offroad-focused RAV4 Trail edition, which adds a lifted suspension, 3,500lbs towing capacity, and unique trim panels (amongst other features) to let you go wherever life takes you. By contrast, the CR-V offers nothing of the sort, which means you have far less choice available.

Safety For Everyone

The real advantage of the RAV4 starts to show in terms of its safety features. As standard, the RAV4 offers “Toyota Safety Sense P” with such items as a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/ SA), Automatic High Beam (AHB), and even a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS) that avoids or reduces the significance of a collision. While most of these systems are also available on the CR-V, they are not standard and must be purchased for an additional sum.
