The 2020 Honda CR-V SUV Makes for a Solid, Reliable Family Vehicle | Available at our Anderson Honda Dealership
The 2020 Honda CR-V gives you everything you need for an enjoyable ride in the Easley, SC area, and it all starts with what's under the hood; the 2020 Honda CR-V enjoys an available 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine, rated at 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, which pairs to the same CVT transmission as the previous model-who says your family car can't also be the fun car?
Though there weren't any major changes from the 2020 CR-V to the 2020-model year, last year's updates gave the CR-V a new chassis that brought responsiveness to the ride-feel and increased ground clearance. Despite few changes-or perhaps because of it-the 2020 Honda CR-V keeps hitting all the right notes. Drivers in the Anderson area can expect quick acceleration, strong safety features, and rewarding handling, especially in those AWD-equipped models; throw in the added cargo volume and the comfortably spacious seating, and well-let's just say, your neighbor's lawn won't be the greenest thing on the street for long.
Interior Comfort, Technology, & Convenience | 2020 Honda CR-V
The 2020 Honda CR-V is a smart, capable compact SUV, perfect for families on the go. It's helped by the recent, 2020-model-year update, which really overhauled the interior, adding space up front, leg room in the back, and plenty of onboard tech. An available 7.0-inch touchscreen HondaLink® Infotainment system, complete with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ support, makes each drive more enjoyable, and with available Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive, you can have that peace of mind you want, too.

Anderson Honda Dealership's 2020 Honda CR-V Faces Off Against the 2020 Toyota RAV4 & The 2020 Nissan Rogue
If you know the Honda brand, then you know it has a reputation for excellence on the road, behind the wheel, and deep within the construction of its vehicles; Honda specializes in safe, stylish, and well-built vehicles that drivers from Anderson, Greenville, Simpsonville, Easley, and Clemson, SC can count on for years down the road. Honda believes that dynamic performance, upscale design, and family-friendly features can all coexist, and the Honda CR-V is just one example that backs that up. Here at Piedmont Honda, you could probably guess where our allegiances lie, so we’ve done the research, too. In this comparison page, we’re pitting the 2020 Honda CR-V against two fierce competitors: the 2020 Toyota RAV4 and the 2020 Nissan Rogue. There can only be one winner, so let’s dive in!
Anderson Car Dealership puts the Leading Compact SUVs Head-to-Head to See Which One Is Best for Anderson Drivers
The Honda CR-V makes for the ideal family vehicle. It’s compact and versatile, yet still offers the seating and space you need once you’re living that family life. With generous passenger room and a useful cargo area, the CR-V can help you turbocharge your to-do list. In terms of aesthetics, the 2020 CR-V is strong and handsome, with sculptural lines carving out a distinct profile and fascia without looking gaudy or overwrought, like some of the other competitors today—no naming names!
Something else worth noting—while front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard among all three of these SUVs, each of them also offers an all-wheel drive (AWD) system, available at all trim levels, including the base trim. This is a huge plus for all three, and while it doesn’t distinguish one from the other, it does speak to their overall quality. Now onto some more meatier differences:
2019 Honda CR-V vs. 2019 Toyota RAV4
- Higher Standards: When it comes to standard features, the Honda CR-V simply outshines the Toyota RAV4. Here’s a quick example of features that the 2020 Honda CR-V gives to you standard, that are either missing or optional on the 2020 Toyota RAV4: Automatic Dual-Zone A/C, Remote Engine Start, an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, 18-inch aluminum wheels (compared to the RAV4’s 17-inch steel wheels), heated exterior mirrors, and even a security system—in short, it’s a lot of the creature comforts that make each and every drive more convenient and bearable.
- Superior Safety: While both the 2020 Toyota RAV4 and the 2020 Honda CR-V offer a standard collision mitigation system, only the 2020 Honda CR-V takes things a step further, giving you standard a Blind Spot Information (BSI) System as well.
- More Power Beneath the Bonnet: Most owners of compact SUVs want the best of both worlds, which means there’s no room for weak powertrains among this lot. Lucky for all of us, the 2020 Honda CR-V brings more standard power than the Toyota RAV4, so you won’t be wanting for that. The 2020 Honda CR-V’s standard 1.5-liter inline-four is rated at 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque*, but the 2020 Toyota RAV4’s 2.5-liter inline-four falls short on both fronts, offering just 176 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque*.
*Based on FWD configurations.
2019 Honda CR-V vs. 2019 Nissan Rogue
- Better Exterior Features: The Nissan Rogue is notable in the compact SUV segment, but you might be surprised to learn about all the ways its exterior falls short of what you’ll find standard on the 2019 Honda CR-V. First of all, the 2019 CR-V gives drivers standard heated exterior mirrors, which is something you can pay extra for in the 2019 Nissan Rogue if you’d like; secondly, the Honda CR-V features a standard sunroof—hopefully Nissan Rogue drivers prefer 24/7 shade; lastly, (and really only an exterior feature because you use it outside of the car) the 2019 Honda CR-V offers standard remote engine start, but not the 2019 Rogue. What a shame.
- Packs More Power: If you’re looking for satisfaction behind the wheel, it’s worth noting that the 2019 Honda CR-V is better equipped in the power department than the 2019 Nissan Rogue. The 2019 Honda CR-V’s standard 1.5-liter inline-four is rated at 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque*, while the 2019 Nissan Rogue’s standard 2.5-liter inline-four pales in comparison, serving up only 170 horses and 175 pound-feet of torque.
- Just Packs More: In addition to packing a bigger punch, the 2019 Honda CR-V will also simply pack more. It has a maximum cargo rating of 75.8 cubic-feet with seats folded, but the 2019 Nissan Rogue falls short with just 70.0 cubic-feet of cargo room to be had.
