When the adventure bug strikes, you’re going to need a vehicle that’s ready to pick up and drive off without a moment’s notice. Thanks to their impressive fuel efficiency, spritely powertrains, and dependable drivetrains, the Honda CR-V Hybrid and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid can roll with the punches.
Under the hood of either SUV is a hybrid powertrain that outputs over 200 horsepower! With that much power at the ready, you’ll experience steady acceleration when pulling away from a stoplight or overtaking vehicles on the highway.
If your next adventure requires you to navigate the forest floor or dirt-road campgrounds, these SUVs can assist! Both models offer Real Time AWD™ to make sure indistinct roads don’t foil your plans.
On both cold commutes and hot days, either the Honda or the Toyota can be your cozy oasis. For instance, the CR-V Hybrid comes standard with Remote Engine Start with Climate Control. This feature automatically turns on the vehicle without your having to be inside! Plus, it has a pre-conditioning element so you can always slide into an ideal cabin.
The RAV4 Hybrid offers Remote Connect, which allows drivers to use their smart devices and watches to power up this SUV from a distance. Unfortunately, it’s only an optional feature gained by trial or subscription.
The Honda and the Toyota are like your home away from home. They feature plenty of creature comforts as well as ample space for your loved ones and your essential items. Which model provides more of each, though?
Do you and your copilot disagree about what the cabin’s temperature should be? Dual-zone automatic climate control can solve the debate in either SUV. This feature allows you and the person sitting shotgun to each enjoy your individual preferred temperature!
The Honda takes your comfort to new heights, though. Heated front seats and a one-touch power moonroof come standard, helping you warm up as you drive or let in the breeze on beautiful weather days. Similar features are available options on the Toyota, allowing the Honda to be the more premium SUV off the bat.
Where space is concerned, the Honda has it in spades. When comparing both passenger and cargo volume, it’s the CR-V Hybrid that outcompetes the RAV4 Hybrid. How much extra space does it have?

| 76.5/39.3 cubic feet | Cargo Volume (Behind 1st/2nd Row) | 69.8/37.6 cubic feet |
Why is more passenger space better? You and your passengers can all kick back, relax, and stretch out on long drives. Plus, the Honda’s extra cargo space allows you to bring your daily essentials and still have room left to spare.
The Honda CR-V Hybrid and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid take your safety seriously. Both models equip standard safety suites that keep a sharp eye on the road for potential accidents, collisions, and other obstructions. The benefit? Your complete peace of mind.
Honda Sensing® and Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 are the standard driver-assistance suites on the CR-V Hybrid and the RAV4 Hybrid. Although they offer brand-specific features, they share many in common, including:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Forward Collision Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Auto High-Beam Headlights
- Traffic Sign Recognition System
You read that list right—all those features come standard on both SUVS! You can say hello to confident driving like never before.
Did your kid leave their bike in the driveway? Are you backing up a bit too close to the mailbox…again? The Honda’s Low-Speed Braking Control feature will act as an extra set of eyes and let you know. This feature functions when you’re driving forward or backward at low speeds. It can even apply the brakes if necessary.
Without a similar feature in the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, you may accidentally run into objects in your path.
