In the Feb. 2010 Car and Driver there is a comparison of 8 compact SUV's. The G M C Terrain, Honda CRV, Mercury Mariner, Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Forester, Suzuki Grand Vitara, V W Tiguan, and the RAV4. Guess who wins? And, by a large margin, too!

The guys at The Fast Lane Car just reviewed the 2013 RAV4 off-road, to mixed results:

2013 Toyota RAV4 AWD Off-Road Drive and Review | TFLCar.com: Automotive News, Views and ReviewsThe Fast Lane Car: Auto News, Views, and Reviews

No surprise: awful ground clearance, but surprisingly good traction/AWD system, even with street tires. They fully acknowledged people don't really take crossovers off-road any more.
