Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V: Safety Features

Driver assist safety features are the norm for SUVs everywhere, including on many Bullhead City roads. These technologically advanced safety systems alert you to immediate dangers, such as other vehicles, pedestrians, or objects in your path.

Toyota has made its Toyota Safety Sense™ system standard on all new vehicles, including the 2023 Toyota RAV4. Honda offers Honda Sensing® on most of their inventory. However, you’ll notice that the Toyota RAV4 offers more standard safety features compared to the Honda CR-V. Check out the safety systems of the Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V:

  • Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0) is standard on all RAV4 configurations. Unlike Honda Sensing, Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0) includes Lane Tracing Assistance, Automatic High Beams, Backup Camera with Projected Path, Safety Connect®, Trailer Sway Control (TSC), Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), and Road Sign Assistance.
  • Honda Sensing® comes standard on the 2023 Honda CR-V, but it only offers some of its capabilities, like Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blindspot Warnings (BW), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), and Road Departure Mitigation System (RDMS) on its base trim level. You’ll also get traffic jam alerts.
