How does the Honda CR-V stack up against its oldest rival, the Toyota RAV4?
Standard Fuel Economy
Compact crossovers have become so popular mainly due to their excellent mix of versatility and fuel economy. While both of these petite crossovers are fairly good on fuel consumption, the two thousand sixteen CR-V outshines the Toyota RAV4 by a significant margin. Achieving an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of twenty six city/33 highway/29 combined mpg*, the fresh CR-V hammers the RAV4 by an average of three mpg. When you drive a fresh CR-V, you can rest assured you are saving lots of money at the gas pump!
Standard Horsepower and Torque
Powered by a Two.4-liter inline-4 engine, the two thousand sixteen Honda CR-V not only achieves better fuel economy than the RAV4's standard Two.5-liter engine, it also generates more power. The potent and efficient Two.4-liter Honda powerplant develops one hundred eighty five horsepower and one hundred eighty one lb-ft of torque, which gives the CR-V nine extra horsepower and lb-ft of torque compared to the RAV4. The more powerful CR-V is also about one hundred lbs. lighter than its rival from Toyota, making the CR-V the much better choice for drivers who want to have ample passing power.
Beginning Price
That is two wins for the two thousand sixteen Honda CR-V thus far, but the Honda is not done yet!
