2021 Toyota RAV4 vs 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

Which SUV is better in Vacaville, CA: RAV4 or Crosstrek?

You want an affordable crossover, don’t you? When you are talking about a difference of over $9,000, one crossover probably comes out as a clear front runner already, but what’s even crazier is that the RAV4 still offers even more in terms of capability.

In terms of horsepower, that 2021 RAV4 gives you way more horsepower with 203 horsepower standard. The max horsepower that the Crosstrek can provide is 137 which is less than many compact hatchbacks. That horsepower difference shows when it comes to towing capability with 500 extra pounds of capability, but let’s be honest, if you are towing 1,000 extra pounds on just 137 horsepower, it’s not going to feel good when you step on the gas.

The Crosstrek has established that it lacks power and towing along with its high sticker price, but it also lacks in terms of cargo room. With the seats folded down, the Crosstrek barely gives you any room for stuff. With these shortcomings, it’s hard to justify the sticker price, especially when you consider that the 2021 RAV4 comes standard with a lot of features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, auto high beams, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and more.
