Consumer Reports finds redesigned Toyota Rav4 is Solid Choice, but Falls Short of Top Small SUV
April 29, 2013
Mazda CX-5 inches past RAV4 in ranking
Yonkers, NY – Redesigned for 2013, the new Toyota RAV4 performed well in Consumer Reports’ tests—and achieved a “Very Good” overall score. But the RAV4’s performance wasn’t enough for it to reclaim its top spot among small SUVs.
The RAV4 now ranks, behind the Consumer Reports’ 2013 Top Pick Honda CR-V and the latest Mazda CX-5, equipped with a new 2.5-liter engine, for small SUVs. The race is very tight, only one point separates the CR-V from the CX-5, and the CX-5 from the RAV4.
