Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wrangler than in the Toyota RAV4. The Jeep Wrangler will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota RAV4.

Convenience
With the Toyota RAV4, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Jeep Wrangler, 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 Jeep Wrangler will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota RAV4, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Jeep Wrangler is a little wider than the Toyota RAV4, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Wrangler, which is slightly longer than the Toyota RAV4.

Handling
The Jeep Wrangler has a larger turning radius than the Toyota RAV4, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler is clearly the choice over the Toyota RAV4 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Wrangler greatly out-muscles the Toyota RAV4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Wrangler does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Toyota RAV4.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Wrangler and the Toyota RAV4. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Jeep Wrangler as you will in the Toyota RAV4.
