Vehicle Overview

Hughes Honda is your local Honda dealership serving Macon Milledgeville Warner Robins Georgia, and we are pleased to announce that the 2020 Honda CR-V is now available to test-drive, purchase and lease.

Honda takes a different approach than Toyota by offering a more streamlined trim lineup. The LX is the base trim and configured to be as affordable as possible. The EX is the well-equipped CR-V that is aimed at the average consumer. The EX-L adds luxury amenities, such as leather seating, and the Touring includes just about all of the features that are available for this model. Toyota seeks to distinguish the RAV4 by being perhaps the only automaker in the segment to offer true off-road capabilities. The LE, XLE, XLE Premium and Limited are comparable to the LE, EX, EX-L and Touring, respectively. Toyota also offers the off-road-oriented Adventure and TRD Off-Road, which have no analog in the Honda lineup.

Technology - 2020 Honda CR-V dealer

Technologies is perhaps one of the more intriguing aspects of this 2020 Honda CR-V vs 2020 Toyota RAV4 comparison. Honda has really led the charge in this segment when it comes to embracing the latest technologies, but the Toyota has worked hard to make the RAV4 more competitive. The base Honda equipment includes a 5-inch central infotainment display, an automatic climate control system and the Honda Sensing suite, which includes forward collision and road departure mitigation. The up-level EX adds a 7-inch touchscreen, Android and Apple support and a blind-spot monitor. The base Toyota equipment includes a 7-inch central infotainment display, Android and Apple support and the Toyota Safety Sense suite. Stepping up to the XL get you a blind-spot monitor and climate control.
