Honda CR-V Hybrid
The current hybrid version of the RAV4 has been a big success since its 2019 model year debut, and Hondas new 2023 CR-V has just hit the market, featuring a refined hybrid version that is certain to prove just as popular as the outgoing model. The Honda CR-V Hybrid has been relatively recent on the scene, having been redesigned for the 2023 model year. The Honda CR-V Hybrid has a longer wheelbase and wider body stance compared to the outgoing CR-V, and we liked its LED standard lighting signature.
2023 Toyota RAV4
However, other than replacement, the 2023 Honda CR-V is at least as good as the 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid. While it has yet to undergo a crash test, Honda is probably not going to let the 2023 CR-V miss the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ as well as NHTSAs five-star rating that the outgoing model earned in back-to-back years, particularly considering that SUV now comes with upgraded front airbags as well as extra side airbags. While Toyota kept the 2023 Toyota RAV4 looking fresh through periodic redesigns, Honda did not include significant redesign changes to the fifth-generation CR-V, which makes the CR-V feel dated when faced with a C-V.
The 2023 Honda CR-V offers new wheel designs, with 19-inch versions available in the high-end Sport Touring Hybrid trim, while 18-inch versions are available for EX, EX-L, and Sport Hybrid trims. A bonus to increasing crossover SUV dimensions is that the CR-V offers more interior room compared to the 2023 Toyota RAV4. Both vehicles seat up to five, but the 2023 Honda CR-V has a total passenger volume of 104 cubic feet, while the Toyota RAV4 has a passenger volume of 98.9 cubic feet.
The 2023 CR-V and RAV4 are similarly sized, with the CR-V being several inches longer, but standing lower, than the RAV4. The 2023 RAV4 Hybrid similarly uses the I-4 engine and dual electric motors, but with different configurations. The simulation makes the 2023 Honda CR-V more of a hybrid Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson to drive than a hybrid Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, which is still whiny, though the hybrids drivetrain remains an entirely different hybrid from those listed above.
The Honda CR-V Hybrid boasts greater rear-seat legroom and greater cargo room, making it a very practical compact SUV. The CR-Vs cabin has the high-end looks you expect from a marquee luxury crossover SUV, but it is not as basic as the 2023 Honda CR-V Plus. The cabin in the CR-V has modernized styling, whereas Toyotas RAV4 could use a refresh. It is fair to say Hondas sixth-generation CR-V represents the most significant CR-V generation Honda has had so far, particularly considering that it is competing with heavyweights such as Toyotas RAV4 and upstarts such as Mazdas sporty CX-50.
