Which is best for you, Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V in Appleton, WI

Performance

Under the hood, the Toyota RAV4 offers several advantages over the Honda CR-V. The RAV4 comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 203 horsepower, giving it a bit more power over the CR-V's 190-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine.

The RAV4 also offers a hybrid powertrain option, which combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motors to deliver a total system output of 219 horsepower while achieving exceptional fuel efficiency. The CR-V also offers a hybrid option, but it's not as powerful as the RAV4 Hybrid.

Both the RAV4 and CR-V provide a smooth, composed ride, making them great for commuting around Oshkosh or road tripping across Green Bay. However, the RAV4's available all-wheel drive system gives it a leg up when it comes to traction and stability in slippery conditions you might encounter.

Safety

Safety is a top priority for many Appleton families, and the RAV4 delivers with its standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 active safety bundle. Every RAV4 also comes standard with pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, adaptive cruise control, and road sign assist.

While the CR-V also has many compelling safety features like forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. However, compared to the more robust standard features of the RAV4, the CR-V simply can't compete.
