Toyota RAV4 2019 vs Honda CR-V 2017
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Petrol | 1.6 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Toyota RAV4) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Honda CR-V) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

Toyota RAV4 2019: It has proactive automatic four-wheel drive with Auto, Lock and Sport modes. In Auto mode, the car has front-wheel drive under normal conditions. If wheel slip is detected, torque is transferred to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. In Sport mode, torque is transferred almost instantly between the front and rear wheels to enhance cornering performance by transferring up to 50 percent of engine power to the rear wheels. Lock mode can be activated when driving below 40 km/h (25 mph) and provides constant four-wheel drive. Honda CR-V 2017: Vehicle features automatic four-wheel drive system that sends torque to front wheels under typical conditions. Electronically controlled multi-plate clutch transfers torque to rear wheels when slipping is detected. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 195 mm (7.7 inches) | 165 mm (6.5 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Toyota RAV4 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 300'000 km | 330'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 7 years | 12 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Lexus UX | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Toyota RAV4 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
