When it comes to fuel mileage, the two vehicles are almost identical. Coupled with a full redesign, it's tough for consumers to not choose the 2013 Honda CR-V when shopping in the small crossover category.

Tthe crossover market is already pretty crowded these days, and the 2013 Honda CR-V has been there since the beginning, towering over competition like the RAV4 for years.

Even the basic CR-V LX comes with Honda's customizable intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) with a 5-inch LCD screen, hill start assist, a rearview camera with guidelines, and Pandora Internet Radio as standard features. While some of these options are available as upgrades on the RAV4 LE, they'll just add on to the price tag.
