Auto news on Youtube Dec 30 2018

Toyota is preparing to jump head-first into the ever-competitive hot hatch market with a juiced-up variant of the Corolla hatchback

Australia's Car Sales reports that Tetsuya Tada, the man behind the Toyota 86 and new Supra, is leading the push within the automaker's Gazoo Racing performance sub-brand to launch a fleet of vehicles

Executives from Australia are pushing for a Corolla GR to be launched as soon as possible but according to Tada, there's no guarantee the car will be Gazoo's next production model

"We have lots of requests from different countries, so it's really, really challenging to decide on the order [of performance models]

" No matter when the vehicle arrives, Toyota knows that it will have to deliver a product capable of rivalling the market's best, including the Hyundai i30 N and the Volkswagen Golf GTI

"It's not just Hyundai.Other car brands are doing this too, so we are researching this and we have to create the [right] brand strategy," Tada said

Currently in its twelfth generation, the Toyota Corolla looks more aggressive and sporty than ever before

A Gazoo-tuned model would inevitably be even more eye-catching with bold new bumpers and wings

It's difficult to know what engine Toyota would opt for considering how many powertrains it has at its disposal

With that being said, a turbocharged four-cylinder would be the most likely candidate, tuned to produce between 250 hp and 300 hp

ULTIMATE CUV -- 2019 Toyota RAV4 Limited vs. 2019 Honda CR-V Touring: Comparison - Duration: 16:00.

Honda and Toyota used to battle relentlessly against each other on Camry versus Accord, and while that still happens today

Rav4 and CRV have become the predominant comparison for the average consumer.

These are for all intents and purposes the new go-to family vehicles

But like hundreds of thousands of people this year. It may be very difficult to decide between these two top products in the class

So for this comparison, we will be looking at a loaded rav4 and CRV

Side-by-side to see which one is the superior product

Let's get to it

So to get things going here, let's establish the pricing and option levels of these two

Starting with the 2019 CRV. We have the most expensive trim called touring as

Many of you know Honda doesn't have any factory option packages

but we do have the optional all-wheel drive system add in a few odd and end dealer accessories and the

$995 destination charge to get a total of thirty five thousand six hundred forty two dollars

For the all-new 2019 rav4 things aren't quite as simple

Like the CRV we have the fully loaded trim in this case called limited as well as the optional all-wheel drive system

That puts it at thirty four and nine. However, Toyota has several options you can add

Including our optional paint into navigation and all-weather floor mats

After the $1045 destination charge that places our equivalent rav4 at a little over

$37,000

All told that places the price difference between these two at a reasonable fifteen hundred forty-seven dollars

To compensate for this we will give one point per thousand dollars of difference and therefore start the CRV off with one point

Now a lot of the times close competitors are very similar

But as far as the power trains are concerned rav4 and CRV couldn't be more different

under the hood of the Toyota you'll find a more traditional setup a two and a half liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine making

203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque

Honda goes a different route and gives you a smaller turbocharged one and a half litre four-cylinder

that makes less power at 190 horsepower and

179 pound-feet of torque

For the transmissions the same thing plays out Toyota went with a traditional 8-speed automatic while Honda chose a CVT

This is one of the biggest distinctions when driving these two

Even though Honda did an excellent job tuning the CVT

The average consumer is going to prefer the instant response a more traditional feel of the 8-speed auto in the Toyota

As far as other driving characteristics both have a fantastic ride quality as well as surprisingly nimble handling

Both also accelerate nicely though by the seat of my pants the Rav feels a little quicker and more responsive

But on the flip side the CRV has the quieter engine

The rav4 is real xfactor though is its new torque vectoring all-wheel drive system that comes standard on limited

This system allows for more options and power distribution including to the individual wheels

You usually won't find a system like this in mainstream vehicles

Lastly for fuel economy. The CRV does outdo the new rav4

But not by more than our 5% margin to get a point it gets a class-leading 29 combined with all-wheel-drive

Versus the rav4 is still great 28 combined

So with all that covered, let's move to the new exterior styling and features

Now we try to keep things as objective as possible with these comparisons, but we will still take a minute to compare the overall styling

Beginning with the all new rav4, it looks totally different from the outgoing model

This generation has a masculine and sculpted front complete with the limited special metallic gray finish

The CRV front looks a bit more suburban, but it still has a pretty aggressive face

The chrome accented grille flows right into the headlights which are fully LED on the Honda

The same goes for the Toyotas headlights in both CUV's have halogen fog lights down at the bottom

Around back again, the rav4 has the more muscular appearance, but both look very upscale wood fully loaded

They have rear chrome accents LED tail lights and dual exhaust outlets

Overall I think both vehicles are attractive in different ways and since the features are identical I won't award any points

Now as far as all the other exterior stuff starting up front, they both have nearly identical ground clearance and turning diameters

and

Then moving to the wheels, you'll find 18 edge contrast alloys on the Honda but 19 inch chrome finish alloys on the Toyota

For the mirrors, they both have heating and power adjustment as well as blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert

Now as far as all the other safety systems both of them come loaded to the gills

They have full speed adaptive cruise control Lane Keeping Assist Ford emergency braking with pedestrian detection and auto high beam headlights

But the new rav4 has a few additional ones

Bicyclists detection lane trace assist and road sign assist the two crossovers also share three year

36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and five year 60,000 mile power train warranties

However, Toyota does give you two years of complimentary maintenance

And

The last thing we'll look at on the outside is the fuel range

The CRV has a 14 gallon tank and the rav 14 and 1/2 gallons

So even though the Honda gets better mpg oddly enough they end up with the exact same 406 miles of fuel range

Well, that's it outside, so now let's move on to the more important cabin where the family will be

Getting inside the interior both crossovers have smart intrigued with nice key farms

However, only the CRV includes remote star on the key fob without a subscription

Moving into the interiors both these products have moved upscale

Especially the rav4 when compared to last year. This Honda has a gray in black color scheme and our Toyota is just straight black

Checking out the seats themselves

The rav4 gives you eight ways of power adjustment while the Honda goes for an impressive 12 ways with four-way lumbar

Additionally, you will find real leather on the seats of the Honda compared to Toyota soft

tex faux leather. Its impersonation is definitely not bad, but you can tell the difference

What's inside the cabins both have a real spacious feel as well as an upscale look

Starting with material quality the CRV gives you all soft touch materials even on the upper portions

There is also some stitching as well as some faux wood accents and all the pieces are solid and well put together

Switching to the Toyota it also has soft touch materials across the entire dashboard with stitching and

This new generation loses all the holo unsubstantial feel of the plastics at the old 1/2

The door trims are roughly equivalent

Giving you tons of love the red trim to both look attractive and give you a soft area to rest your arm on

But all-in-all these two have some of the best cabin materials in the class

As

one would expect the top-end models do have push-button start

When the cars fire up you'll see a 7-inch display on the Honda in an 8-inch display on the Toyota

And then looking at the gauges they are very similar to each other an overall design

Both have 7-inch digital displays, which are reconfigurable and then analog gauges flanking the side

Coming back to the steering wheels

Both are leather wrapped and manual tilt and telescoping neither of them have heating though. It is available on the wrap

The CRV also has rain sensing wipers, which could be added to the Toyota with the extra $1,000 weather package

Now moving on to one of the most important interior aspects let's talk storage

Honda always does something cool at the center consoles and this is no exception

With a sliding tray that allows the storage to be at least twice as big as the rafts

Up in the front both have another generously size of it

but the Toyota fights back by giving you a large storage so that the honda doesn't

Overall I'd say storage is roughly equivalent

Moving on both models have traditional shifters though. The Honda's has a non-traditional placement on the

Toyota you can't shift manually though. Neither of them have paddle

Going into reverse both have multi angle backup cameras with trajectories as

Is the case with several other features the already more expensive rav4 has an optional?

360-degree camera system available via the advanced technology

Both of them have electronic parking brakes and brake hole

Next up we have the dual zone automatic climate control systems

There's not a great deal of differences between them

But the RAV4 is more ergonomically sound since on the CRV you're required to use the touchscreen for some of the functionality

Both seats are heated though. You can get ventilation on the Toyota for an extra charge

Anyways, now let's go ahead and sample the audio systems

While the CRV does have an extra speaker on the touring trim the rav4s branded system is simply better all around

Now let's go ahead and quickly check out the infotainment system

We will start with the CRV which carries over the same older Honda link system from last year

The graphics certainly aren't the most modern looking but it is very easy to use especially with the handy shortcut buttons

Touring gives you integrated navigation and even the lower trims come with both Android auto and apple carplay

Toyota's newest in tune 3.0 system on the other hand is more modern looking and performs a bit faster

However, the actual functionality is really no different and this system only has apple carplay but not android auto

So overall, I'll call this area draw

Heading up top. Both models do have auto dimming rearview mirrors, except Toyota now includes a rear camera mirror to cut out all the obstructions

and

Then as you'd expect both have moonroof though. Once again Toyota can get a panoramic one with the highest tier

$2,800 package

Anyways that covers just about everything in the interior

So now let's go ahead and check out the areas in the back where the rest of the family will be

Heading to the rear quarters

Both models are undisputedly spacious, but the CRV continues to be pretty much the best option in the class

it has forty point four inches of legroom and

38.3 inches of headroom

Compared to thirty seven point eight inches four legs and thirty-seven point seven inches for heads in the wrap

After getting in you will notice that both give you nice rear air vents as well as smart charging USB ports for both passengers

Moving out back both have power tailgates

The Hondas is hands-free while the already more expensive Toyota needs the advanced tech package to get that

Once it opens up the CRV is also significantly more spacious here

Giving you 39.2 cubic feet with the second row in place and seventy five point eight cubic feet with it folded

comparatively the rav4 has 37.5 cubic feet which expands to sixty nine point eight cubic feet with the seats full right and

Then the last thing worth mentioning is that the CRV gives you a power passenger seat, which the rav4 does not

Well guys, that's it for this extremely close comparison video for me the big takeaway here

is that when priced equivalently these two have more or less the same features, but

if you spring for all the options on the Rav, it would have the advantage but it would also have a

$4,000 higher price tag

But overall I have to say there's a good reason why these two are the top selling products in the class

Toyota USA CEO Says Lineup Will Always Be Passenger Car-Biased - Duration: 2:18.

While U.S.automakers are increasingly pulling the plug on traditional passenger cars as they shift to trucks and SUVs, Toyota pledges to keep making hatchbacks, sedans and sports cars

Toyota USA CEO Jim Lentz believes U.S.passenger car sales have nearly bottomed out at just under 30 percent of overall auto sales last month

The executive says the company will continue building them despite the spectacular growth of truck and SUV sales

Present at the Detroit Economic Club on Wednesday, Lentz argued that American consumers are still buying more than 4 million compact, midsize and near-luxury cars each year

"There's no way I'm going to walk away from that.We are always going to have a bias toward passenger cars," Associated Press reports

Nevertheless, Lentz acknowledged that U.S.new car sales in 2018 will likely fall below 2010 levels

"There is a depression on the passenger car side," he said.U.S.car sales are expected to end 2018 with a deficit of 800,000 units over 2017, while truck and SUV sales should rise by the same amount

Toyota sold 12 percent fewer passenger cars in the first 10 months of the year in the United States, while its truck and SUV sales increased by 8 percent

Despite the current unfavorable market conditions and moves from U.S.carmakers, Toyota will stay in the market

The Japanese automaker currently has an array of hatchbacks and sedans on sale in the United States

Those include the full-size Avalon, mid-size Camry, compact Corolla, Yaris supermini, Sienna minivan, Prius hybrid family, Mirai fuel-cell sedan, and the 86 sports car
