Chiseled and Refined for Adventures of All Types

Get ready to hit the roads in a 2020 Toyota RAV4—a ride that’s athletic and sleek from all angles. Even exude your own style with your pick from 17 color options—including a two-tone scheme to ensure your SUV draws in all looks. You’ll also sport a wide stance alongside dual chrome exhaust tips to display a sporty edge. Move to the front, and the bold and aggressive grille framing the Toyota badge exudes full power and refinement.

But the big question comes to the drive—specifically, how the 2020 Toyota RAV4 competes with other sporty SUVs like the 2020 Honda CR-V. Today, we’ll take a look at the two to show you how the Toyota SUV gains an edge for your commutes and adventures. If you’re ready to take a sporty ride now, stop by Group 1 Toyota Rivertown in Columbus, GA to test drive the 2020 Toyota RAV4 today.

No Road or Path Off-Limits

Take a ride in the 2020 Toyota RAV4, and you’ll cruise in one of the road’s top adventure-based SUVs with the standard 2.5L Dynamic force 4-cylinder motor. With 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft torque guiding your rides, you’ll have no problems trekking through rough grades or passing other drivers on US-280 toward places like Auburn-Opelika, AL. You’re also not losing out on efficiency since you’ll drive with up to EPA-estimated 35 highway mpg to keep your adventures affordable. You can also opt for a hybrid model with up to EPA-estimated 41-city mpg.

When you’re ready to take your adventures off the paved path, the available TRD off-road capability is ready to assist with rebound control and red coil springs to help you dominate gravel paths and loose grades (and even climb a few boulders) like a pro. Plus, available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive and a Multi-Terrain Select helps you navigate around slick and rough road surfaces with ease.

By comparison, the Honda CR-V packs a 1.5L 4-cylinder motor with a turbocharger putting out 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft torque. It’s enough for a fun drive, but it’s also 13 less horsepower and 5 less lb-ft torque than what you’ll find in the Toyota RAV4—which makes a huge difference when you try to take off or want to enjoy a faster-paced ride. You’ll also find EPA-estimated 34 highway mpg on 2WD models, which is one less mpg than you’ll find in the Toyota SUV.

For controlling your ride, the Honda SUV equips a multi-link double-wishbone rear suspension. However, the Honda CR-V lacks an off-road trim (unlike the Toyota model), allowing the 2020 Toyota RAV4 to take this round by being able to travel more roads.

Bringing Style to Your Rugged Rides

Step inside the 2020 Toyota RAV4, and you’ll find a trendy and modern interior filled with comfort for epic rides everywhere you travel. Opt for the available panoramic glass roof, and you’ll let in natural sun rays while also taking in legendary views of the natural world—and let’s not forget about the priceless views of the stars at night. Speaking of your night rides, available ambient blue light emits soft glows so that you can easily see your storage areas while also engaging in a soothing ride when the sun is down.

For refinement, available SofTex^®-trimmed seats pack a leather-like look to craft an upscale vibe that’s easy to clean. Meanwhile, the available ventilated and heated front seats (and heated back seats) keep you warm year-round—especially when you need to warm up for a cool winter morning commute.

To help you connect to your media, a 7-inch display comes standard with Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™. You’ll not only send texts and make calls without taking your hands off the wheel but you’ll also listen to your favorite playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks from your favorite apps for entertainment on all your rides. You’ll also have a personal assistant along for the ride with standard Toyota + Alexa. Just ask, and you’ll hear your favorite tunes, listen to news updates, check up on the daily forecast, and even control your devices back home.

When you ride in the 2020 Honda CR-V, you’ll experience similar comfort inside with features like available heated seats along with a sleek interior. When it comes to tech, your standard option is a 5-inch touchscreen (two inches smaller than the Toyota SUV), and features like Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ are available without a personal assistant like Toyota + Amazon Alexa. For offering more standard tech and Amazon + Toyota, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 comes out ahead for the interior.

Staying Safe on the Trails and Roads

Staying safe on the road inside the 2020 Toyota RAV4 is easy with standard Toyota Safety Sense^™ 2.0. with features like Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, your Toyota SUV warns you when an accident with a car ahead or someone walking in the road is imminent. If you don’t take action, your 2020 Toyota RAV4 will even automatically brake to help you avoid a collision.

When you need help staying in line, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist lets you know when you accidentally cross into the next lane. To help you re-center, you’ll also feel gentle steering inputs to help you avoid accidentally cutting off other vehicles.

To help you relax during tense highway drives, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control keeps you driving at a set speed. Upon approaching slow traffic ahead, your Toyota SUV also slows down to an appropriate pace. Meanwhile, Lane Tracing Assist helps you stay centered in your lane while you enjoy Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.

For more standard safety, Automatic High Beams and Road Sign Assist are ready to keep you protected for your commutes and adventures. Best of all, all of these features are found on all 2020 Toyota RAV4s.

The 2020 Honda CR-V also keeps you safe with its standard Honda Sensing^® Suite. For features, you’ll have Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow, and Auto High-Beam Headlights. However, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 packs more standard safety with Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection—allowing the Toyota RAV4 to win another round.
