2022 Honda CR-V vs 2022 Toyota RAV4

Honda and Toyota have for a very long time been the most famous Japanese carmakers in the automotive world. While Toyota is the unbeaten champion in the US, Honda is the more popular choice in Canada, thanks to the Honda Civic, the best-selling car here for over 23 years. However, if you're looking for a brand-new compact SUV in Newfoundland, we're sure you've considered the 2022 Honda CR-V. It is indeed one of the best crossovers out there, but for comparison, let's compare it to the 2022 Toyota RAV4 and see how it stacks up here at Steele Honda in St. John's, NL. 

2022 Honda CR-V vs 2022 Toyota RAV4 - The More Family-Friendly Crossover 

When comparing the 2022 Honda CR-V with the 2022 Toyota RAV4, it is evident that the latter is the more powerful vehicle. Still, the Honda CR-V more than makes up for it where it matters most in a "compact" SUV – the cargo and interior passenger volume. Although it is classified as a compact crossover, the 2022 Honda CR-V offers 2146 litres or 75.78 cubic feet of cargo space behind its front seats and 2,999 litres or 105 cubic feet of passenger volume. Both these figures are not only more significant than what the 2022 Toyota RAV4 offers but are also the best in their class. In fact, the 2022 Honda CR-V's roominess can rival some full-size SUVs.  

The larger passenger volume also means you get greater headroom and legroom, which is essential if you plan to go out on long drives in the Newfoundland great outdoors. And the advantages don't end there. The CR-V offers more standard premium interior features, including heated front seats, 7-inch Display Audio System, Immobilizer theft-deterrent system, dual-zone automatic climate control with an air-filtration system, a pushbutton start, and much more. All-in-all, the 2022 Honda CR-V is the better equipped family-friendly crossover of the two.
