C-HR vs RAV4: Performance and Fuel Economy
The 2020 Toyota C-HR gets its power from a 2.0L inline-4 engine, which comes mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and generates 144 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. This power is sent to the front wheels, and with this setup, the C-HR is able to get an EPA-estimated 27 city/31 highway MPG.1
The 2020 Toyota RAV4, by contrast, comes with a 2.5L inline-4 that makes 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, which it can then send to either the front wheels or all four via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Even with more power, the fuel economy on the RAV4 reaches an impressive EPA-estimated 28 city/35 highway MPG.2
Toyota C-HR vs RAV4: Design
The Toyota C-HR has a unique place in the Toyota lineup, positioning itself somewhere between a traditional crossover SUV and a hatchback. Its smaller dimensions make it easy to maneuver through city streets, and its dynamic style makes it sure to stand out. Able to seat up to five passengers, the C-HR possesses a dedicated cargo volume of 19.1 cubic feet and a max cargo volume of 37 cubic feet.
The RAV4 remains a traditional small crossover SUV with spacious dimensions for up to five adults. It’s an ideal everyday ride for growing suburban families, boasting a dedicated cargo volume of 37.6 cubic feet and a max cargo volume of 69.8 cubic feet.
Interior Features: C-HR vs RAV4
While the Toyota RAV4 provides you with more interior space, the C-HR comes with more standard amenities. This includes the dual zone automatic climate control system that gives you and your front passenger individual control over the air temperature.
Also standard in the 2020 Toyota C-HR is Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. This lets you plug in your phone to display and access its applications on the 8-inch touchscreen. The 2020 RAV4 also comes standard with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, but its multimedia system has a standard 7-inch touchscreen.
