Currently, one of the most popular and best-selling vehicles in the industry are compact crossovers. With optimal drivability mixed with the space families need, it’s hard to go wrong purchasing one. One such model is the 2020 Toyota RAV4.
Touted as Toyota’s small crossover model, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 matches size with performance that other models can’t match. This includes brand models such as the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. To look deeper into the differences, we at Bob Smith Toyota compared the two models for you to check out, below:
