We can’t really blame Toyota from dreaming big since they actually have the potential to take on Honda with their Toyota RAV4. They have managed to stay ahead of the Honda CR-V in markets like Australia but despite that, they are still having a hard time catching up to the Honda CR-V is the US.
Toyota announced that their goal for the Toyota RAV4 right now is to have to beat the Honda CR-V. With what they have to offer, it sounds like a reasonable dream but some consumers are saying that the only way they can do it is if they do something about the design.
Not that the Toyota RAV4 looked bad but compared to the Honda CR-V, the Toyota RAV4 looks less premium. The CR-V feels younger and more luxurious when compared with the RAV4 and that could have been the reason why they can’t seem to touch the CR-V in the US.
Toyota is hoping that the upcoming Toyota RAV4 with its new hybrid powertrain will help them take down Honda and their Honda CR-V. Do you think it will be enough?
