I would say one of the best given my recent experience with my 2013 RAV4 and the 2 transmission replacements I had to go through (fortunately on warranty). I still have both my V6 RAV4's (2006 and 2009) after having a Honda Pilot and Odyssey (didn't need all that room and quality is about the same for both brands.

I thought it looked very familiar. Typical of Toyota to copy other manufacturers. Other than the back hatch window slant angle, it is an exact copy... Come on Toyota, show some imagination and creativity. They took a nice looking car and made it ugly.
Nice Photoshop work!

Looks to me as though Toyota put the squeeze on the new Murano's rear quarter panel. And check out that rear door "handle."

2017 Toyota C-HR vs Honda HR-V: New Crossover Rivalry
By Staff Reporter | March 2, 2016

One of the rivals that the upcoming 2017 Toyota C-HR is taking aim at directly is the Honda HR-V. After its launch, the latter took the crossover market by storm. Will Toyota be able to pull it off as well?


What makes the C-HR intriguing is that its the only second vehicle to adopt the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) that currently sits in the Toyota Prius.

It already has a leg up over the HR-V by offering a hybrid variant powered by the Prius’ 1.8L hybrid powertrain that generates 121hp and 105lb-ft torque.

However, in directly rivaling the HR-V its 1.2L turbo engine is only worth 114hp, at least that’s what the European market is getting. Its arrival in early 2017 might offer something different.

The Honda HR-V derives its power from a 1.8L four-cylinder engine that delivers 141hp and 127lb-ft torque. That, however, isn’t what the crossover is about.

Styling-wise the C-HR looks meaner and is more of a standout than the inoffensive HR-V, but in order to truly be superior the C-HR has to top its 30mpg combined fuel economy rating and its interior volume at 24cu-ft cargo space. The latter is going to be a challenge, as the crossover on the TNGA platform doesn’t really boast much in size.

Size Comparisons

Early member of this forum but tailed off after the HR-V was on sale for a few months. I research SUVs for when my car finally dies. I'd like something something larger than the HR-V and smaller than the Mazda CX-5, so I'll be looking at the Toyota CH-R as it moves along to see what I think. It looks a bit too Juke-esque for my middle age but the Toyota's in general are bland, so I'll wait until I see one in person. My greatest fantasy is a small SUV with a passenger and back seat that go down flat so I can take lie down flat and take a nap if I had to. Oh, to dream...

Maybe it's my middle aged sense of style, but I do not care for that. I prefer the more conservative approach. I usually have to be sold on the looks of Honda, but I find their designs seem to "age" better. What looks stylish and bold now, just seems dated in a few years. I think that both my 02 CRV and my 05 Pilot still look at home on the road today. Now, that being said, the current CRV is a real stinker design wise. We are picking up our white 2WD EX HRV this afternoon, and I hope we get the same 230,00 miles out of it that we got out of our Pilot.
