When you’re on the search for a stylish SUV that can easily take you around the Pinecrest, Miami-Dade County, and Palmetto Bay, FL, areas, you’ll want something packed with impressive features that are sure to turn heads as you cruise by. Two models you may be considering are the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4; but ultimately, which one is going to be the right choice for you?
Here at Largo Honda, our goal is to help you every step of the way through your car-buying journey, and we know that starts right here with the research process. To help make it as simple as possible for drivers, we’ve created this handy analysis of the Honda CR-V vs. Toyota RAV4. Now, let’s see how these two models stack up against one another!
PASSENGERS
PASSENGER VOLUME
MAXIMUM CARGO CAPACITY
The Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 want to give you the most comfortable ride possible. Both models feature a spacious cabin, roomy appointments, and comforting amenities to elevate every drive you take.
Both vehicles can comfortably seat up to five riders—but in the CR-V, you’ll get up to 106 cubic feet of passenger volume, while the RAV4 only provides 98.9 cubic feet of seating space.

Honda CR-V

vs

Toyota RAV4
|
|---|---|---|
| 40 inches | Headroom (front) | 37.7 inches |
| 55.6 inches/52.6 inches | Hip room (front/rear) | 54.3 inches/47.7 inches |
| 41.3 inches/41 inches | Legroom (front/rear) | 41 inches/37.8 inches |
As you can see, passengers in the CR-V will have more headroom, hip room, and legroom to stretch out and relax no matter where they’re seated.
What if you could pair the spaciousness of the Honda CR-V with premium upholstery for the ultimate relaxing experience? Oh wait, that’s reality! The CR-V is available with leather upholstery, which elevates the cabin and enlivens your drive. SofTex® upholstery is available in the Toyota RAV4, but this is imitation leather instead of genuine.
You’ll also want to be sure your SUV comes with an ample amount of storage room for all your transportation needs, whether you’re packing up for a road trip, moving furniture, or simply running errands.
How do the cargo areas of the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 compare? Let’s take a closer look:
|
Honda HR-V
|
vs
|
Toyota RAV4
|
|---|---|---|
| 39.3 cubic feet | Cargo volume (behind 2nd row) | 37.6 cubic feet |
| 76.5 cubic feet | Cargo volume (behind 1st row) | 69.8 cubic feet |
Once again, when it comes to space for everyone and everything, the RAV4 falls short of the CR-V by providing just 69.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo room, while the CR-V delivers up to 76.5 cubic feet.
So, you’ve got your cargo ready to be packed away. How will you do so? The available height-adjustable power liftgates in either model will lend a hand. These liftgates can pop open before you get to the rear of the vehicle, giving you one less step before loading up your gear.
Plus, each SUV’s cargo space has cargo area lights to help you see during late-night grocery shopping or when you reach your campsite after dark!
You’ll remain comfortable in either the CR-V or the RAV4, as they offer an assortment of amenities. With many climate-controlled features on board, you’ll be able to enjoy a comfortable and peaceful ride any time of year.
Each SUV has its own available dual-zone automatic climate control system that considers the temperature preferences of both you and your front-row passenger.
Further temperature preference is achieved through available heated front seats, which provide incredible comfort during those chilly morning commutes.
You’re going to be on the road for a while, which means you’ll need a model that conforms to you. Fortunately, the Honda CR-V has the available10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar support to help you find your sweet spot.
On the other hand, the Toyota only allows you to upgrade to an 8-way adjustable seat. Since it doesn’t offer as many configurations and as much flexibility as the Honda’s seat, you may not be able to find that perfect position for driving in comfort.
While both SUVs may be decent choices for your commutes around the Pinecrest, Miami-Dade County, or Palmetto Bay, FL, area, it’s clear that the Honda CR-V outperforms the Toyota RAV4 in crucial categories such as interior cabin space and comfort.
