If fuel economy is a concern, you have the option of a hybrid Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V that recharge with regenerative braking. The Honda doesn’t have a plug-in hybrid model, but the PHEV Toyota RAV4 Prime gives you a bigger taste of driving with the power of electricity and the improved fuel economy that comes with it.

Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V: Safety Features

Both the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V come with state-of-the-art safety systems to help you drive with confidence in Oak Lawn. The Toyota RAV4 features the Toyota Safety Sense™ system, which is standard on all new Toyota vehicles. Honda offers Honda Sensing® on most of their available inventory. The Toyota RAV4 offers better standard safety features than the Honda CR-V, though. Take a look at the Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V in terms of safety systems:

  • Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0) is standardized on all RAV4 configurations. Unlike Honda Sensing, Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0) provides Lane Tracing Assistance, Automatic High Beams, Backup Camera with Projected Path, Safety Connect®, Trailer Sway Control (TSC), Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), and Road Sign Assistance.
  • Honda Sensing® comes standard on the 2023 Honda CR-V, but it only offers the following systems: Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), and Road Departure Mitigation System (RDMS) at the base trim level.
