The mid-size SUV market is not as big as the compact SUV market, but the competition is fierce. There are many cars that we can name, such as the benchmark Toyota Highlander and its sister model Toyota Crown Landscape, etc., which are both good Of course, the choice object is Honda's UR-V, which is also a Japanese brand like Toyota.
If the difference between European and Japanese models is still relatively large, then returning to the purchasing level, these three models are somewhat numerous, which has also caused many users to have difficulties when purchasing, and they are both What are the similarities and differences between Japanese Toyota and Honda in the field of mid-size SUVs? Today we will conduct a multi-faceted comparison of the three models of Toyota Highlander, Toyota Crown Landscape and Honda UR-V to see who is more worthy of your choice.
Appearance comparison
In terms of appearance, I believe everyone is familiar with the Highlander's styling design. It is different from the honest and rugged image of the old model. It is designed by the TNGA architecture, and the overall design highlights the Stronger fashion and sports atmosphere. On the front face, the rectangular air intake grille decorated with black mesh decoration enhances the exquisite atmosphere of the front face. The headlight combinations designed on both sides of the front of the car have a sharp shape, and the internal light cavity layout is also relatively sophisticated and complex, which can give us Bring a good visual experience.
The Highlander's side design is relatively simple, without complicated lines, and the rising waistline makes it look more powerful. The chrome-plated decorative strips embedded in the windows appear to have a strong sense of layering, ensuring a sense of class on the side. In terms of body size, the Highlander's length, width and height are 4965/1930/1750mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2850mm.
Turn around and come to the rear of the Highlander. The solid overall silhouette is worthy of the identity and positioning of a mid-level SUV, and it can also meet the aura requirements of mainstream consumers. Of course, for the Highlander, which focuses on youth, many sporty design elements have been added, such as blackened taillights and a spoiler design on the roof.
On the front face of the vehicle, Toyota Crown Land uses a hexagonal honeycomb front air grille with a strong three-dimensional effect, and there is a crown logo in the center for high recognition. The three-eye LED headlights have a very sharp appearance. The lower grille is decorated with horizontal lines to make the front of the car look wider. The eight-shaped front bumper design makes the front of the car look lower. The vehicle comes standard with LED high and low beams, daytime running lights, adaptive high and low beams, automatic headlights, front fog lights, headlight height adjustment and headlight delay shutdown functions.
On the side of the vehicle, the waistline design is smooth. The rising characteristic line rises quickly from the front door panel to the rear door panel, and extends along the wheel hub cover, creating a sporty atmosphere that dives forward. In terms of space, the Crown Lufang has a body length of 5015mm, a width of 1930mm, a height of 1750mm, and a wheelbase of 2850mm.
The rear of the vehicle has a shark fin antenna and rear wiper above it. The combined LED taillights look more dynamic. The figure-eight rear bumper design echoes the front face. The narrow top and wide bottom design combined with the trapezoidal license plate frame make the vehicle look more stable and majestic. The vehicle comes standard with an electric rear tailgate, an induction rear tailgate and an electric rear tailgate position memory function.
In terms of front design, Honda UR-V adopts an all-black air intake grille. In addition to the honeycomb grille and the two-color decorative panel above, such an air intake grille frame will also face two sections. Spreading and inserted under the headlights, this fusion decoration has strong brand recognition. At the same time, when the headlights are equipped with halogen light sources as standard, in addition to being upgraded to full LED high and low beams, they will also be equipped with LED daytime running lights, LED fog lights and steering auxiliary lights. The lighting function is very prominent.
Looking from the side, Honda UR-V has a length, width and height of 4856/1942/1670 (1675) mm and a body wheelbase of 2820mm. This is the main reason why it looks so tall and tall. But by looking sideways, we can see that whether it is the front fender nameplate, black anti-scratch strips, or fastback D-pillar structure, the Honda UR-V's individual sports style is very prominent in its class.
Going around to the rear end of the vehicle, Honda UR-V has also used through-type taillights early, and the side lights and brake lights are mainly presented through the light strip structure to complete the horizontal penetration. This is even Among the new forces that use through-type taillights, it will still be a relatively high-ranking visual design. Of course, the high-mounted black spoiler that appears at the top of the tailgate and the black sports guard at the bottom of the rear also once again declare the sporty style of the vehicle.
Taken together, the Highlander and Crown Landscape are more sporty than the Honda URV, and the wider body size also forces the Honda URV to be more substantial and imposing.
Interior Comparison
In terms of interior, Toyota Highlander’s distinct center console design, coupled with the application of an 8-inch floating LCD screen, creates a good technological atmosphere. The interior color scheme is mainly black, with silver-white decorative strips for embellishment. In addition, the center console is wrapped in a large amount of slush-molded material, and the interior texture also has a relatively outstanding performance.
The newly designed three-spoke steering wheel has excellent feel and grip. It is also equipped with multi-function buttons on the left and right sides, making it easier for the driver to operate during daily driving. In terms of configuration, Highlander is quite satisfactory. Of course, in terms of safety configuration analysis, its performance is relatively good, including 7 airbags including front knee airbags. On the car system, mainstream CarPlay/CarLife is provided, which can meet the car needs of young friends.
As for the interior, the color scheme of the Toyota Crown Landscape is mainly black/red, which is simple yet high-end. The leather multi-function steering wheel has a warm touch and supports manual 4-way adjustment and heating functions. The 12.3-inch color full LCD instrument + 12.3-inch central control screen has comprehensive display functions. The car comes standard with a GPS navigation system, navigation and traffic information display, roadside assistance service, Bluetooth/car phone, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, facial recognition, voice recognition control system, voice wake-up-free function and continuous voice recognition. In terms of intelligence, the configuration of this car is still very comprehensive. The 11 speakers under the JBL audio system paired with monochrome interior ambient lights can give us a good music experience.
In terms of the interior, the Honda UR-V center console has an 8.0-inch touch screen in the center. Below the screen is an integrated console with air conditioning, multimedia and some seat temperature controls. Adjustments can be completed here, and there are polygonal air conditioning outlets at both ends, and there are also air outlets at the far ends on both sides. The shift mechanism adopts a mechanical gear lever (240TURBO) or electronic button (370TURBO) design, while the steering wheel is a three-spoke type. The latter is equipped with plastic as standard and is covered with full leather starting from the second-lowest configuration.
Seat design, all Honda UR-V series are covered with leather. Electric adjustment, including 8-way adjustment for the main driver, is standard for all series, and the second-lowest configuration will start to be added to the front row. Heating and passenger height adjustment functions, high-end vehicles will also be equipped with driver's lumbar support and position memory, front passenger side button, and front row ventilation/rear heating functions, as well as standard panoramic sunroof, vehicle-wide soundproof glass, and active air conditioning. Noise, multi-temperature zone independent air-conditioning system and second-lowest ambient lighting, the overall ride feedback in the cabin will be relatively advanced.
As far as the interior quality is concerned, this time I am on the side of Honda URV.

In terms of power, Highlander and Crown Landscape are basically the same. The 2023 hybrid version is equipped with a gasoline-electric hybrid composed of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor.

Through comparison, we can find that the three models each have their own advantages. Among them, Honda UR-V, whether it is pure visual design, internal control logic layout, or its main comfort and durability , hardware performance, and vehicles have well captured the core demands of domestic consumers. Crown Lufang is more popular among young people. After all, it has a sportier appearance and a stronger sense of technology. For example, there are more active/assisted driving functions, and the entire series reaches the L2 assisted driving level. Highlander is more suitable for consumers of a certain age, who like a mature and stable appearance and a more convenient car experience. If you have greater requirements for space and body size, then the Crown Landscape will definitely suit you. If you have requirements for driving quality and power, then the Honda URV deserves your more attention.
