Advantages of the 2019 RAV4 Hybrid As you can see from one glance at the table above, the CR-V is certainly a fuel-efficient crossover even as a non-hybrid, and these two vehicles are quite similar to one another. Although the specs we used in the left column belong the previous generation’s RAV4 Hybrid, we imagine that the number can only go up as the crossover is upgraded for Gen-5. Nothing is set in stone, so we’ll just see how the two crossovers fare like this for now. In the first row, we highlighted power, an area in which the RAV4 Hybrid trumps the CR-V by at least 10 horsepower. That’s a decent advantage, especially when you consider that the superior vehicle is a hybrid! However, perhaps its efficiency suffers from that, as it only offers an extra 4 miles per gallon combined. We’ll see how these numbers change once the specs get announced, but we imagine the RAV4 Hybrid’s numbers will only go up. Cargo capacity, on the other hand, will likely stay pretty close to the same. If it fluctuates, it’ll only be by a bit, and so the CR-V will still likely offer a few extra cubic feet of space. The RAV4 Hybrid won’t be getting an additional row of seats, so they’ll stay matched in the fourth row of the table. Be sure to check our blog often for updates on these specifications, but until then if you’re interested in a 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid over a CR-V, be sure to let us know!
