The Honda CRV Takes on the Toyota Rav4

Panama City Honda shoppers looking for a sporty SUV model can check out the Honda CRV models available at Proctor Honda. But how does the CRV measure up to others in its class? Well, we decided to test drive these vehicles online at Proctor's new online comparison shopping tool.

Let's get started.

Both the CRV and the Rav4 rated 5 stars in the driver safety category administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. However, in terms of passenger safety, the Rav4 rated only a 4, while the CRV continued to excel with a 5 star rating.

JD Power and Associates gave the Honda CRV a top ranking in reliability among compact multi-activity vehicles, but the Rav4 was not listed in the top three. In general, JD Power and Associates ranked Honda vehicles fifth in inital quality. Toyota is ranked sixth.

The Honda CRV has more overall space than Toyota's Rav4, offering drivers .1 inches more in headroom, 2.1 inches more in front hip room, .2 inches more in rear leg room, 2.2 inches more in rear hip room, and .7 more inches in rear shoulder room.

Again, the CRV has a lower maintenance cost with typical repairs being cheaper than Toyota's Rav4. The CRV is also recommended by Consumer Reports, Car Book's "Best Bet" and Kiplingers.
