00:00I'm Jacob I'm Yuri and we're going for a
00:12drive 2024 Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid Woodland
00:16Edition 2024 Honda CRV hybrid and we're
00:19comparing the best-selling SUVs
00:22everybody wants fuel economy these days
00:24saving some money so we got these both
00:26in hybrid trims let's get to the fuel
00:30this Toyota is rated at a combined 6 L
00:33per 100 km and that Honda is rated at a
00:36combined 6.4 L per 100 km and we reset
00:39them both at the beginning of the day
00:41not doing any highway I'm getting 8.8 L
00:43per 100 km in the Honda and I'm getting
00:468.3 L per 100 km in the Toyota slightly
00:49edging out that CRV according to the
00:51data which is also accurate now let's
00:53get to the horsepower and torque this
00:56Toyota has a combined 219 horsepower and
00:592 21 lbet of torque from a 2.5 L 4
01:02cylinder hybrid and that Honda has a
01:04combined 204 horsepower 247 lb feet of
01:08torque from a 2 L 4-cylinder hybrid all
01:10right put it in your sportiest mode I'm
01:12going to Sport and drive in the CRV
01:25baby not only is this more fuel
01:28efficient it is even faster than that
01:31yeah really really impressive isn't it I
01:35guess so I mean that is actually pretty
01:36impressive and we both have cvts and
01:38they do like to sing the song of their
01:40people yeah yeah I think we got like
01:42ecvts in both but I think the raap 4's
01:44got a little bit more electric motor
01:45stuff either way they are not plugin
01:48hybrids they're just regular hybrids so
01:50you don't have an electric only range
01:52showing anywhere and the Toyota at least
01:54has an option to do that because the Rav
01:574 Prime exists but there is no plug-in
01:59Hy version of the CRV at least not yet
02:02yo check this out I'm going to hit the B
02:04mode on my shifter and regenerate to a
02:07slower speed can you do that in the Rav
02:094 uh no I can't eruri I have a sports
02:12shifting mode because this is a sports
02:15uh enthusia vehicle with up and down for
02:17uh shifting my fake gears and if you are
02:20shopping for one of these and you want
02:21great gas mileage and a great price go
02:23to tsp. truecar.com for discounted price
02:26offers these are the bestselling
02:28vehicles from each brand and so you're
02:30going to have a lot to compare from no
02:32matter where you're located and you can
02:33also search across the whole country too
02:36maybe fly from California to Florida and
02:37drive one back I would love to do that
02:39at least California back home because
02:41man that'd be fun what's cool is I have
02:43paddles in the CRV the r four doesn't
02:45and with the paddles I can adjust my
02:47regen and what's very cool is if you're
02:49in D mode after you come to a slow speed
02:52it resets so it's not like you're stuck
02:54in one pedal is driving mode which is
02:56nice to have sometimes when you're in
02:58your B mode in CRV in this Toyota it's
03:00very simple there's nothing to think
03:01about in terms of the hybrid system the
03:03car just kind of does everything on its
03:04own however I do have a EV mode button
03:07but if I'm driving the speed limit right
03:09now which is pretty low if I press that
03:10button I get an error because it tells
03:13me that my speed range has exceeded and
03:15that's at the speed limit so basically
03:17if you're driving in EV mode that is for
03:19stop and go traffic or parking lots only
03:22yeah yours doesn't go over 40 km an hour
03:24and this one really goes to EV when
03:26you're going like slow slow but you
03:28can't control it at all and and with the
03:30EV modes I feel like we should listen to
03:32both of them from the
03:43outside pretty crazy interesting ghost
03:46Phantom sounds yeah I think Rav 4 is
03:49spooky and then CRV is more uh holy yes
03:53I agree with that and in terms of Drive
03:55modes I do have the Woodland Edition so
03:57I've got a trail mode that I can take
04:00this thing Offroad and then I've got
04:01sport normal and Eco I got snow Eco
04:04normal and Sport Eco I guess gets you
04:07into EV a little more it's all good very
04:09easy to see and I like how it resets in
04:11Eco so with this being a woodland
04:14Edition I would like to focus on some
04:16looks Yuri because mine looks stunning I
04:18could take this thing out on the trails
04:20and I would fit right in with this thing
04:22army green looks is my favorite part of
04:24cars as you know and the thing I like
04:26the least about the looks of this CRV is
04:29black fraking Wheels especially compared
04:31to that Rav 4 are you kidding me ah yeah
04:35this Woodland Edition really takes this
04:37thing up a not you don't have to get
04:38that you can save some money because
04:40this is the lowest trim from Toyota The
04:42XLE trim that you can get the hybrid in
04:44and that CRV is all new for this year
04:46for Canada which is the EXL trim but
04:48more importantly what tires should you
04:50put on your CRV or Rav 4 that you buy
04:54the Continental cross contact lx25 and
04:57then since it's winter here as you can
04:59see we would love the Viking contact
05:01sevens up here so back to my exclusive
05:03army green paint with these lovely
05:05bronze Wheels the design of the wheels
05:07is amazing it's kind of like a t37 is I
05:10love it yeah I think the Rav 4 looks
05:13better it's got two-tone black roof but
05:16I mean the CRV just looks nice and
05:18normal really average yeah the CRV does
05:22look more luxurious from the outside
05:23like it looks like a more premium car
05:25compared to the Rav 4 who's got the
05:27better exhaust tips uh I don't really
05:30know so the Rav 4 has these like black
05:33finishers on top of these small little
05:35pipes yeah I'd rev the CRV for you but
05:38it does not rev but then the CRV has the
05:40kind of chrome exhaust finishers that go
05:42around it which almost these days look
05:44more premium they're both kind of fake
05:45but the rap fors are slightly more real
05:48uh which fender flares do you like more
05:49boxy is or roundish I love the boxiness
05:52I think the body lines of the wp 4 even
05:54though it's like an old design still
05:55looks good uh but this looks nice it's
05:58got nicer headlights on the the CRV
06:00you've got like headlights that are
06:01always on on the Rav 4 and then nicer
06:03tail lights in the CRV as well and they
06:05are LED on the CRV which they are hogen
06:07on the Rav 4 and then piano black door
06:10handles on the Rav 4 that's pretty nice
06:12mine are just color matched and we both
06:14have proximity touch just at the front
06:16and this being the Woodland Edition I
06:18also get cross barss and a roof rack up
06:20top yeah well if you're a woodland man
06:23with your Woodland suspension tuned then
06:25uh you should have that yeah I've got
06:28TRD tuned suspension which honestly
06:31makes this less comfortable it's a
06:33little bit stiff on the road it's not
06:35too stiff but it is noticeable
06:36especially in comparison to that very
06:38luxurious ride in that CRV all right
06:40let's pull over somewhere snowy and then
06:42switch cars I want to drive that RAV
06:44four a little bit okay Yuri let's launch
06:47them oh okay Woodland floor mats that's
06:50pretty nice are they nicer than the
06:52Honda CRV floor mats um yeah I mean the
06:56design is a little bit nicer but Yuri
06:58they're really lacking coverage
07:00yeah I think they both lose compared to
07:01a set of tuxmat and speaking of tuxmat
07:04my buddy just got a CRV so I hooking him
07:07up with a set of tux mat to replace his
07:09winter ones so he gets a lot more
07:10coverage and keeps those carpets clean
07:12for his brand new car for as long as he
07:14can keep it get your own set of tuxmat
07:20docomo you have officially been
07:24tuxed now for the least important test
07:27launch control which these don't have
07:28but I'm going a brake boost
07:35it oh my God it is simulating those
07:37gears real quick not a bad launch at
07:45All Sport shifting sport mode Let's Stay
08:03yeah you know what it's always more fun
08:05doing the CVT launches in a Subaru where
08:06you see the tack stay pinned I mean that
08:08one's doing the same thing you just
08:10don't see the tack cuz it doesn't have
08:11one that's what I'm telling you and the
08:13first thing I noticed with this is that
08:15it does have a weirder brake pedal in
08:17the ra 4 than the CRV not deal breaker
08:20but noticeably like there's a step where
08:22you kind of to get used to it that's
08:24exactly how I would word it as well in
08:26terms of power these have just over 200
08:28horsepower completely adequate the
08:31hybrid feels like it really adds
08:32something to these cars I don't feel
08:33like I'm lacking at all I agree but seat
08:36Comfort which one do you find more
08:38comfortable I actually think the seat is
08:41nicer in the Rav 4 sitting in the seat I
08:44also agree with that but these uh
08:46leather or whatever leather-like
08:48substance is in this Honda actually feel
08:50quite nice yeah it's a little more
08:52luxurious in that than in the rap 4 I
08:54would actually say this Honda is a huge
08:56step up in terms of what the interior
08:58looks like the materials the finishes
09:01but this one is more expensive which we
09:03will get to at the end of the video back
09:04to the seats do you fit in all rows at
09:066' one and a half because a 5'8 I'm fine
09:08in all of them I fit completely fine in
09:11all of them however I do find more space
09:13in the back of the CRV I think if you
09:15look at the trunk both have an equal
09:17amount of room uh the Rav 4 has a plug
09:20back there which is pretty cool and they
09:22both have power Trunks and then as for
09:24lumbar I think the lumbar is a little
09:26better in the Honda the raav 4 feels
09:28like a little more pointy into my spine
09:31and the Honda being the more expensive
09:32car actually has memory seats on the
09:34driver's side which the Toyota does not
09:36okay heated seats heated steering wheels
09:39which one gets hotter and which one
09:40covers more so the Honda has to have the
09:43wind for that because it actually heats
09:45the entire steering wheel whereas the
09:47Toyota only heats the grippy parts on
09:49the left and right sides not the top and
09:51bottom and they both have heated seats
09:53and we do have manual climate control
09:55for both which is lovely in the Honda we
09:57have this tactile kind of loud sound
10:02premium yes and in the Rav 4 we've got
10:05the rubbery coated ones which you can
10:07feel but you don't hear the which I
10:09think is actually better because the
10:11Honda sounds a little plastick here it
10:13is a little plasticky but it's also kind
10:14of nice and then we also have a volume
10:16knob in that same finish and then I have
10:18a home and a back button as well yes
10:21this is where we talk about the
10:22infotainments and the rav 41 is not as
10:25good it doesn't have the update yet that
10:27the Corolla cross had so when you're in
10:29apple carplay which is wired or Wireless
10:31you need to scroll through to click your
10:33Toyota button to get back where the
10:35Honda has that home button on the left
10:37the whole time and a bunch of good
10:39shortcuts at the bottom when the home
10:41button is up for your fm and Sirus XM
10:43and all that kind of stuff and the Honda
10:45also has wired and wireless Android auto
10:47and apple carplay and then sound systems
10:50I think the Honda's a clear winner here
10:52yeah that Toyota is very tiny sounding I
10:55would say up there with the worst sounds
10:57I've ever heard from a car you you know
10:59these sound systems are going to be
11:00rough when the logo of the car is on the
11:03speaker covers yeah I would say
11:06that and speaking of logos of the car to
11:08go back to looks both of these have blue
11:11in the logos because electricity oh wow
11:15so creative from both companies all
11:16right and now to something that grinds
11:18my gears the Honda CRV has remote start
11:21on the key fob that trim does not have
11:24access to an app to control it I like
11:27that this Toyota can also remote start
11:30the car by clicking the lock button
11:32three times and holding it on the key
11:33fob but you need to have the paid
11:36subscription stuff to have that
11:37eventually that'll run out and then you
11:39won't be able to remote start your car
11:41from the key fob in 10 years unless
11:43you're paying for it y I mean these are
11:45both kind of disposable because uh I
11:47won't go that far but at one point you
11:50will have to replace the Hybrid battery
11:52in both of these for an approximate cost
11:54of between 2,000 to potentially $8,000
11:58that is what I found online will that
12:01take away from all the fuel savings over
12:03the year when you add labor to it and
12:05maybe trying to find that part and
12:07getting a rental car while it's in the
12:09shop yes absolutely however if you pass
12:12those costs on to the next owner and you
12:14just sell this vehicle prior to the
12:17battery needing replacement then you're
12:19good to go ooh sneaky sneaky okay how
12:22about moving on to gauge clusters I
12:23think it's very cool that the Rav 4 can
12:25tell you the temperature of your
12:27engine yeah real cool yeah you can see
12:30the cooling temperature uh in the Honda
12:32for some reason we haven't been able to
12:33find it in this half digital gauge
12:35cluster so if you guys have one of these
12:38uh hybrid specifically and you know what
12:40your cooling temperature is let us know
12:42cuz we have literally tried every menu
12:44option we can't find it I just want to
12:45know when my car is warm enough to blast
12:47the heat that's why you use the
12:49autoclimate function you're even let the
12:50car take care of it speaking of
12:52autoclimate function the fan does slow
12:55down when you're on a phone call on
12:57Apple carplay which is nice and then
12:58this CRV being so much more expensive
13:00than that Rav 4 I've got a wireless
13:02charger down here and then this only has
13:04usba for your Apple carplay but the CRV
13:07has usba for app carplay but USBC just
13:10for charging which is interesting and
13:13the Honda also has better cup holders I
13:15would say they are full pass and the
13:17Toyota they're a little bit too deep
13:19yeah yeah a little little risky there
13:20how about the visors oh no I think this
13:22is going to be good in this one three
13:26ah yes Full Pass in the Honda there's
13:30officially no reason to pick the Rav 4
13:32over the CRV just kidding just kidding
13:34actually there might be because the
13:35Toyota can tow 15500 lb and this Honda
13:38only 1,000 this already has a trailer
13:41hitch on it that is literally the
13:43difference between another jet ski or
13:45not and then the last nice little thing
13:47we both have very clear reverse cameras
13:50which is good not last because we are
13:52driving on a somewhat of a highway not
13:54really we do have Highway assists for
13:56both of these where you have Lane
13:58centering and adaptive cruise and they
14:00both work really well yeah I think Honda
14:02might win by a little bit yeah I would
14:04honestly tie them and different
14:05scenarios would issue different results
14:08all right now let's rip through cliche
14:09corner just for fun even though it
14:11doesn't matter in these cars and figure
14:13out which one we like once we get to the
14:15price so rather than focusing on driving
14:18Dynamics through cliche corner I'm going
14:20to focus on ride comfort and I think I'm
14:23going to win in this Honda even though
14:25I'm not necessarily gunning for any of
14:26these cars but this is definitely the
14:28more comfortable one yeah it's
14:29definitely more comfortable than CRV you
14:30notice the Rav 4 suspension being a
14:33little annoying cuz it's the Woodland
14:35but some people are woodland people
14:37that's right if I was wearing my
14:38Lumberjack outfit I'd probably have to
14:40go with that Woodland trim but I'm not
14:42so here I am turning into cliche corner
14:44with this lovely steering wheel R 4
14:47seems pretty composed through here lots
14:49of junk flying around in the trunk yeah
14:52I'm not exactly pulling away from you or
14:54anything like that so I mean pretty much
14:56tied feel like I can cut to curb a
14:59little more with my Woodland suspension
15:02a few moments later and dropping back
15:04into cliche Corner in the opposite
15:06Vehicles going over the bump and the rav
15:08Fort yeah not a soft all right yo let's
15:10get piped oh we're getting piped under
15:14steer City oh yeah dude I think the the
15:17hot is a little bit better through here
15:19you're flying all over the map yeah I
15:21know with my TRD tune suspension I think
15:23it's tuned for the off-road I kind of
15:25like the sound of this Honda when you're
15:26ripping it it's like kind of kind of
15:28better than the r four I know this kind
15:30of sounds a little bit coarse than the
15:32Rav 4 if I was to floor
15:34it yeah a little CVT screamy all right I
15:37think with all that out of the way it's
15:39time to get to the price the Toyota is
15:42so much cheaper at $
15:4441,9 30 Canadian and that Honda is
15:57$47,700 CRV hybrid you can get for as
16:01$345 and the Rav 4 hybrid for
16:0431725 but this review makes perfect
16:07sense cuz both of these are the cheapest
16:10trimmed hybrids you can get of these
16:12right that's right so if you're looking
16:13to save the most money but get the
16:16hybrid trim minus this Woodland Edition
16:19thing yes this is what you'd get in
16:21Canada so are there any deal breakers
16:23between the two to me the only deal
16:25breaker is thing I think is the remote
16:27start but besides that they're both very
16:30nice non-plug-in hybrid SUVs I would say
16:33that's not even a deal breaker Because
16:35by the time you get to that remote start
16:36thing being not a subscription service
16:38you already probably have to replace the
16:39Hybrid battery on this that is a good
16:42point so let us know which one of these
16:44you would pick is it the Rav 4 is it the
16:46CRV is it something else yeah let us
16:49know which one you're buying on tsp.
16:51truecar.com and share this video with
16:53somebody who's looking for one of these
16:54cuz like let's be real Honda Toyota
16:57these are the ones you're shopping for
16:59you really looking for a k Hyundai with
17:00this I don't know exactly and not to cop
17:03out on an answer I'm going to pick the
17:04Rav 4 just because it is significantly
17:06less money at least in Canada and I
17:08think I would go with the Honda just
17:09because I like the infotainment a little
17:11bit more with the home in the back
17:12button and I do really like the remote
17:14start key fob which I've been using a
17:16ton since it's cold outside now thanks
17:19for watching and if you made it this
17:20part of the video please subscribe and
