Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota RAV4 than in the Nissan ARIYA, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Nissan ARIYA and the Toyota RAV4.

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 Nissan ARIYA will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota RAV4, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan ARIYA is much wider than the Toyota RAV4, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Nissan ARIYA takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota RAV4.

Handling
The Nissan ARIYA has the same turning radius as the Toyota RAV4, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Nissan ARIYA has a little more horsepower than the Toyota RAV4.

Powertrain
The Nissan ARIYA has much lower torque than the Toyota RAV4, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Nissan ARIYA and the Toyota RAV4. The Nissan ARIYA has less cargo space than the Toyota RAV4, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
