Toyota RAV4 vs Honda CR-V power confrontation

Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V power match the gearbox, and Toyota RAV4 still uses Honda's own patented parallel-axis 5-speed automatic gearbox. Many people have questions, why is the 6AT gearbox not used in Acura models? I think Honda may think that these two sets of CR-V powertrains are mature and stable, and they are enough for daily use. At the same time, it is also a better reason to open the gap between Honda brand and Acura brand.

Toyota RAV4 recalibrated the previous generation 2.0L engine for future use. Its maximum power is reduced by 3 horsepower, and its maximum torque is reduced by 5 Nm. The previous generation of 2.4L engine was replaced by 2.5L engine, which is Toyota's 5AR-FE series. Dual VVT-i variable valve timing technology is adopted, with compression ratio 10.4: 1, maximum power 180 HP (132 kW) and maximum torque of 234 Nm. In fact, it is the same as the Camry 2.5L engine, but the adjustment is slightly different, so it is an engine with conventional technical content and parameters.

Toyota RAV4 has also been upgraded in the transmission system. The past 5-speed manual gearbox is now upgraded to a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the 4-speed automatic gearbox is changed to a CVT gearbox or upgraded to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Among them, the 6-speed automatic manual transmission only matches the 2.5L engine.

However, if the freshness of the powertrain is also taken as a comparison item, then Honda CR-V will obviously suffer some losses. In fact, it is an extension of the previous generation powertrain. After the horsepower is squeezed by increasing the rotating speed, the maximum power value is increased by 20 horsepower and the torque is increased by 2 n m.

From the structure of Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, the four-wheel drive system of RAV4 is still a timely four-wheel drive system with multi-clutch as the central differential and front drive as the main body, but its response speed and torque distribution logic have been improved, and a brand-new dynamic torque control technology (DTC) has been added. There are three modes of four-wheel drive system, and the first two modes are no different from the previous ones. In the AUTO state, it is usually similar to the front wheel. Only when the front wheel slips, the torque will be distributed to the rear wheel. In the locking mode, the multi-disc clutch can remain engaged for a long time at a speed lower than 25mph (about 40km) to cope with light off-road conditions; The sports mode mentioned above is a brand-new function, which can actively distribute more torque to the rear wheels according to the steering angle, throttle opening and body posture of the vehicle. Combined with the assistance of VSC body stability system, the tracking performance is improved, and the EPS steering effect is also improved by about 20%, which is not available in most urban SUVs with the same price.
