2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser vs. 2013 Honda CR-V Review

Comparison Review


Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V than in the Toyota FJ Cruiser, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Toyota FJ Cruiser will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V.

Convenience
With the Honda CR-V, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Toyota FJ Cruiser, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Toyota FJ Cruiser is somewhat more expensive than the Honda CR-V. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the Honda CR-V have similar Destination Charges.

Dimensions
Since the Toyota FJ Cruiser is much wider than the Honda CR-V, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Toyota FJ Cruiser, which is slightly longer than the Honda CR-V.

Drivetrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Toyota FJ Cruiser does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Honda CR-V.

Handling
The Toyota FJ Cruiser has a larger turning radius than the Honda CR-V, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Toyota FJ Cruiser is clearly the choice over the Honda CR-V for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Toyota FJ Cruiser greatly out-muscles the Honda CR-V.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the Honda CR-V. The Toyota FJ Cruiser has less cargo space than the Honda CR-V, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.

Warranty
The Toyota FJ Cruiser comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Honda CR-V.
