2022 Honda CR-V vs. 2022 Toyota RAV4

It's no secret that the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are two of the most popular SUVs available. They're reliable and ideal for small families or anyone who needs that extra space. But if nuances come into play, which one is the better choice? O'Daniel Honda looks at how the 2022 CR-V and 2022 RAV4 compare in terms of interior features, performance, and safety.

Interior Comparison

The 2022 CR-V offers a little more space for passengers. It has 7 cubic feet more passenger capacity than the 2022 RAV4 (105.9 vs. 98.9 cubic feet).

The CR-V also has more overall front space, making it a bit more comfortable for drivers:

• 0.6 inches more front headroom
• 0.3 inches more front legroom
• 0.8 inches more front hip room
• 0.1 inches more front shoulder room

The CR-V has more cargo space in the back with seats up or down:

• With seats up: 39.2 cubic feet (vs. 37.6 cubic feet for the RAV4)
• With seats down: 75.8 cubic feet (vs. 69.8 cubic feet for the RAV4)

Performance Comparison

For mileage, the 2022 CR-V performs slightly better than the 2022 RAV4 on the EPA test:

• 2022 CR-V: 27 miles per gallon - city; 32 miles per gallon - highway
• 2022 RAV4: 25 miles per gallon - city; 32 miles per gallon - highway

In terms of transmission, the CR-V comes with a standard continuously variable transmission (CVT). It can keep the engine at its most efficient for increased fuel economy. It can also maintain peak horsepower indefinitely. The RAV4 doesn’t have a CVT.

The CR-V is also the faster vehicle, going zero to 60 miles per hour at only 7.5 seconds. The RAV4 can achieve the same speed at 8.8 seconds.

Another important feature of the new CR-V is the capless fueling system, which the RAV4 doesn't have. The fuel filler automatically springs open when you insert the fuel nozzle and shuts when you remove it. This helps lessen pollution by reducing fuel evaporation.

Safety Comparison

The 2022 CR-V comes with smart airbags. They use vehicle speed sensors and seat sensors to determine how much force to use when they deploy. The CR-V's side airbags will turn off if a child is leaning against the door. By comparison, the RAV4's airbags always deploy with full force.

Faster reaction times translate to a safer car. When braking, the CR-V needs a shorter length of road to stop. The CR-V only needs 119 feet; the RAV4 needs 134 feet. This is when braking from 60 miles per hour.

Both the CR-V and the RAV4 have the following modern safety features:

• Standard driver and passenger frontal airbags
• Side-impact head airbags
• Front side-impact airbags
• Front seat belt pretensioners
• Traction control
• Lane departure warning systems
• Driver alert monitors
• Rear cross-path warning
• Blind-spot warning systems
• Crash mitigating brakes
• Four-wheel antilock brakes
