Competition in the 2023 compact SUV segment is heated, which makes for a lot of great options for SUV shoppers in Santa Rosa, California. Both the 2023 Honda CR-V for sale at Manly Honda and The Toyota RAV4 have updated their widely popular designs. The Honda CR-V gets a more extensive redesign with a fresh interior and exterior revamp. The Toyota RAV4 gets a few new technology updates that help to put the offerings in the RAV4 on the same level as the CR-V. Let’s dive into the specs and features of these market favorites and find out which offers you a more versatile vehicle.
No doubt about it, one of the primary reasons for purchasing an SUV is for the spacious cabin and based on the numbers, the Honda CR-V offers more overall space than the Toyota RAV4. The 2023 CR-V seats five passengers in 103.5 cubic feet of total passenger space while the RAV4 seats five passengers in 98.9 cubic feet. How does that translate to actual legroom?
