Crossover Comparison: 2021 Toyota RAV4 Vs. 2022 Honda CR-V
Drivers shopping for a new compact crossover or SUV will likely consider popular models like the 2021 Toyota RAV4 and 2022 Honda CR-V.

Performance & Efficiency
The 2021 Toyota makes use of Toyota's 2.5-liter Dynamic Force inline 4-cylinder engine to deliver a confident 203 hp. Power is transmitted through a Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission and sent to the front wheels (FWD) or all four when equipped with the available all-wheel drive (AWD).
Toyota's All-Wheel Drive with Dynamic Torque Control optimizes power delivery between wheels to enhance traction and handling. The new RAV4 achieves up to an EPA-estimated 35 mpg* highway in FWD trim, proving that you can enjoy versatility and efficiency!
The less-powerful 2022 Honda CR-V comes equipped with a 190-hp 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It is rated up to 34 mpg* in highway driving by the EPA. While the 2022 Honda CR-V and its CVT gearbox offer a Sport Mode for a more exciting drive, the 2021 Toyota RAV4 comes with ECO, NORMAL and Sport Modes that let you tailor your journey for efficiency, performance or a blend of both.

- Updated Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
