You will find the 2021 Honda CR-V SUV available for purchase or lease at Saccucci Honda. This new midsize crossover has a few competitors across its class, including the well-known Toyota RAV4. It might seem difficult for the Honda CR-V to rise to the top with such a tough market. However, we researched and noticed many key areas where our own crossover SUV shines over this worthy challenger from Toyota. Let us discuss with you some of our findings here at Saccucci Honda. You will find our dealership less than 40 minutes outside of Providence, RI.
Where Does the Honda CR-V Shine?
- Interior: The Honda CR-V offers some of the best interior space of its class, with plenty of comfort for your passengers and space for all your luggage during a road trip. Newport, RI families will appreciate the 105.9 cubic feet of passenger volume and up to 75.8 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the front seats. Despite its recent redesign, the Toyota RAV4 falls short in both areas, with 98.9 cubic feet of passenger space and 69.8 cubic feet of cargo space.
- Efficiency: While the RAV4 might have a bit more horsepower, the Honda CR-V more than makes up for it in commuter-friendly efficiency and performance. The standard four-cylinder engine of the Honda CR-V features a twin-scroll turbocharger, giving you a nice boost pressure as you leave for work in Dartmouth, MA. Turbochargers also help cars save energy in the long-run, though this feature is absent from the engine of the RAV4.
- Safety: Both the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V share similar safety features via their respective safety technology suites. However, with the Honda Sensing® suite, you get to enjoy one extra driver-assist feature: the Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM). The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of the RAV4 has several comparable features to those of Honda Sensing®, but no equivalent to the RDM feature.
- Exterior: The Honda CR-V comes standard with aluminum alloy wheels, which cut curb weight down considerably and boost the turning efficiency of this crossover. The Toyota RAV4 features steel wheels on its base trim, while alloy wheels must be purchased with an upgraded trim level.
- Media: While both SUVs offer comparable sound and media systems, the Honda CR-V has a couple of extra features to offer, such as speed-sensitive volume compensation, which helps keep listening easy, even when changing speeds in South Kingstown. The Honda CR-V also features Pandora® internet radio compatibly, a feature which, along with the SVC, is absent from the RAV4.
