Adventure is waiting in the great outdoors — you just need a vehicle that can handle everything Mother Nature has in store! Even if you prefer walks in the park to wild excursions, it’s important to have a car that will transport you and your loved ones safely. That’s where the new 2024 Toyota RAV4 comes in. This highly popular SUV is beloved for a reason, and you’ll see why it’s a customer favorite here at Wyatt Johnson Toyota when you visit us for a test drive. But wait: Are you also considering the new 2024 Honda CR-V? Take a look at our compact SUV comparison to see which model comes out on top.
Honda CR-V vs. Toyota RAV4
Performance and Utility
Whether you’re driving to work, picking up the kids from school, or heading off the beaten path, you’ll want an SUV with all-wheel drive so you can cruise confidently, no matter what lies ahead. Both the new 2024 Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V can be equipped with all-wheel drive.
The CR-V comes with an in-line 4-cylinder engine with turbocharger that is capable of producing 190 horsepower and 179 pound feet of torque. Its available 4-Mode Drive System includes ECON, Normal, Snow, and Sport modes. In contrast, the RAV4 comes with a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine that can produce up to 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Its available Multi-Terrain Select system offers a variety of drive modes: MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW, NORMAL, SPORT and Eco. With more drive modes available, the RAV4’s performance can be more precisely tailored to specific terrains and conditions.
Planning to tow with your SUV? Certain 2024 Toyota RAV4 configurations can tow up to 3,500 pounds.* The CR-V’s maximum towing capacity is only 1,500 pounds.
Comfort and Convenience
When choosing an SUV, it’s important to pick one that makes every journey easier and more enjoyable. After all, you’ll be spending quite a lot of time behind the wheel! Both of these models have seating for five and come with an array of comfort and convenience features, including an available hands-free power liftgate and a standard 60/40 split reclining fold-flat rear seat.
Wondering about entertainment and navigation? These SUVs are both compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The largest available touchscreen in the CR-V is nine inches in size, while the RAV4 has an available 10.5-inch touchscreen display. With a larger touchscreen at your fingertips, you’ll have an easier time selecting music, inputting your destination on a map, or adjusting your vehicle’s settings to your liking.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Automotive technology isn’t just there to guide you and keep you entertained — it plays a vital role in keeping you safe, too. The Toyota brand prioritizes safety above all else, continually working on new ways to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. The Toyota Safety Sense™ system in the RAV4 is full of features that will help you stay alert and aware on the road, and the CR-V has some similar capabilities. Both models come with a lane-keeping assistance feature, automatic high beams, and a road sign identification feature, among others.
When it’s time to park your SUV, both models have available parking sensors to help you back up safely. However, you can upgrade the RAV4 to include a Panoramic View Monitor with 360-degree Overhead View and Curb View,^ an innovative feature that allows you to get a bird’s-eye view of your car from above, plus a view of the curb if you’re near one. Imagine how much easier parallel parking will be with this in front of you! The CR-V does offer a standard Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines,** but it doesn’t provide the same overhead view.

*Never tow beyond a vehicle’s published towing capacities. Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. Installation of a tow hitch receiver or other accessories located near the rear bumper may require disabling or removing the kick sensor, and the sensor operation setting in your vehicle should be turned off. Follow all instructions in your Owner’s Manual.
^The Panoramic View Monitor does not provide a comprehensive view of the area surrounding your vehicle. Look around to confirm clearance. See Owner’s Manual for limitations.
**Always visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up; the rearview camera display does not provide complete information about all conditions and objects at the rear of your vehicle.
