Space and Exterior Design

Both SUVs have a rugged, athletic design language. However, the CR-V stands out with striking details like a gloss-black grille, LED lighting, and dual chrome exhaust finishers. Most trims also come standard with a power moonroof and a height-adjustable power liftgate, adding convenience often optional on the RAV4. The CR-V's longer body translates into more interior and cargo space, providing ample room for passengers and cargo alike. With up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo volume, the CR-V outpaces the RAV4's maximum of 69.8 cubic feet. Additionally, the CR-V offers more standard comfort features, like dual-zone automatic climate control which the RAV4 reserves for higher trim levels or optional packages.
