For us in the hybrid, to go from the CCH to the RAV4 varies from 53% to 69% more whereas your hybrid increase is only 20% more.

Higher off the ground gives you more ground clearance if you go off-road and allows for seeing further down the road. There are some arguments against doing up: things like them swaying more in rapid lane changes due to the higher centre of gravity and higher accident rate, due in part to more weight with less ability to stop shorter.

The other stuff you mentioned contain the normal decision criteria.

 

We could not fit the RAV4 in our garage so that ruled it out That saddened me as the RAV4 has better towing capability.

 

Don't know if it matters but CCH is a Toyota 5th Hybrid generation (e-cvt with no belt and more) versus the current Rav4 which is the previous version less efficient. This means not only less gasoline consumption but also an improved reactivity to the gas pedal which gives you more fun to drive. Consider also that Rav4 is seeing the new model arrival on 2026 and therefore the value will rapidly decrease if you'll choose this model. Here in Europe we begin to see the 2025 CCH facelift but I don't know the current situation in the US.

 

We have just got the CCH facelift. Some nice features but others that I am not so happy about.

 

I just can't get past that ugly (imho) colour-coded, hexagon perforated bumper instead of a proper grill in the 2025 - cheap, cheap, cheap.

A 10" infotainment screen (vs 8") might be nice, but unnecessary. The front parking sensor would be handy, if it detected parking kerbs / pavements / sidewalks. More torque is good.
