America's best-selling recreational vehicle replacement seat! Honda CR-V beats RAV4 with more than 80,000 units, power selection becomes key

2026/10/05 10:26 Text/Reporter Su Minghan Picture source/Vehicle manufacturers

The most iconic car market in the world is the United States. In the fiercely competitive SUV class, Toyota RAV4 used to be the dominant model. However, this year has seen a different situation. Although the Honda CR-V has not yet been significantly redesigned, its sales in the United States have surpassed that of the RAV4. And unless the supply of RAV4 is fully expanded, it will have a chance to overtake. Foreign media believe that RAV4's abandonment of pure fuel may be the key.

According to foreign media reports, the sales data of Honda CR-V in the US market from January to September this year reached 336,834 units, which is a significant increase compared to last year. You must know that CR-V has entered the late product stage, and even a new generation model is already under development. It can still perform such an amazing performance. On the other hand, the Toyota RAV4, which has just undergone a major facelift, currently lags behind the CR-V by about 83,000 units.

Honda CR-V

Toyota RAV4

Although there are still three months left, the Toyota RAV4 still has a chance to surpass the Honda CR-V to defend the best-selling throne. However, according to data provided by foreign media, orders for the CR-V model will not actually be digested until next year, while the RAV4 also has huge orders but is facing a shortage of supply. Unless production capacity is fully restored, the decline can be reversed.

At the same time, foreign media pointed out that behind the astonishing sales of CR-V, gasoline power accounted for 47% and gasoline-electric power accounted for 53%, which means that pure fuel configuration still has a huge market base. On the other hand, the new generation RAV4 completely cancels pure fuel power. Foreign media believe that this is the key to the sales gap between the two. However, in the future, CR-V will also consider canceling the fuel engine. Whether it can repeat this year's success remains to be seen.
