Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Honda transitions the CR-V into 2021 without making any significant changes.

Pros
Cabin's upscale aura,
noteworthy fuel-economy figures,
plentiful cargo and interior- cubby storage.

Cons
Not particularly quick,
can't tow as much as rivals,
hybrid's battery reduces cargo volume.

Pros
Spacious rear seat and cargo hold

Plentiful and thoughtful storage areas

Cons
Touchscreen can be finicky to use and lacks a separate tuning knob
Below-average towing capability

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 is the meat-and-potatoes crossover for many buyers; the RAV4 Prime supplies the all-electric range.

Pros
Performance plug-in hybrid
Great exterior looks
Wide customization possibilities
Standard active safety features
Good all-wheel-drive systems

Cons
Interior is compromised
Prime priced prime near $40,000
Buzzy base inline-4
Small-ish rear seat

Toyota has made only one change to the RAV4 for the 2021 model year: Blizzard Pearl replaces Super White on the color palette. A plug-in hybrid RAV4 Prime joins the lineup, and the hybrid model gets a new XLE Premium trim; we review the two hybrid models separately.

Pros
Truckish good looks,
car-like road manners,
driver-assistance features are standard.

Cons
Spartan entry-level model,
engine moans and groans,
top trims can be pricey.

By: 
caranddriver.com

No significant changes for 2021.

Pros
Quiet interior and comfortable ride quality
Abundant cargo and passenger space
Easy-to-use controls

Cons
Lackluster power from powertrain
Uncomfortable front passenger seat
Vague steering
