I've taken 2 test drives of the Rav now. The noise under acceleration isnt great but watch how quickly it went from 50-70mph (4 seconds). 30-70 is sub 7 seconds. Its quick. That and good economy and interior space, and for floods it can wade 50cm (officially rated). Its great!
Have to say Matt is great to watch. Why he is not one of the Top Gear presenter i'll never know. He is fun charismatic and animated. He is one of the best car reviewers.
I liked this video simply because you showed the practical aspect of the car, like how it will actually fit thing, not just by talking about it, but actually doing it. I know it takes time to do so, thanks a lot for your review.
Right!! Got one two months ago, 2019 model highest spec and I love it I see your comment is from two years, mind telling me about your experience with the Corolla after two years of ownership? How is it so far?
For me I calculate there’s a 2000-3000 saving per year the rav4 has over my current car. This includes savings in fuel, insurance and servicing. Over an ownership period of 7 years this’ll pay for the changeover plus I’ll be ahead with the residual value of the vehicle. So saving money is one reason people get this car. The product is compelling because I can’t remember the last time the “performance” model was hybrid. From standstill the instant torque from the electric engine makes the car “feel” pretty quick. Finally this is the best selling vehicle in the US (excluding trucks). This SUV outsells all of Mazda in the US. While you should take car reviews with a grain of salt, the market rarely lies.

As a new owner of a rav 4 HEV ( non plug in) 99% of the time its lovely and quiet put ya foot down and it can be noisy but with plenty of power, averaging 55-60mpg and coming from a diesel thats pretty decent, drive it gently and the cvt isnt a issue at all better than a normal auto gearbox, done about 3000miles in my Rav4 hev and coming from a mazda 6 its fab
I always enjoy your vids Mat, because you offer the feel of a car like no other reviewer. Like the tactile sensation of holding the door handle, for instance. Just an observation: in "Trail" mode, more power is sent to the rear wheel electric motors, to assist with uphill progress. In "Sport", more power goes to the rear to steady the car in low traction road conditions. Overall, the RAV4 Hybrid is the most economical, and probably the most long term reliable, family SUV on the market. The Mazda CX5 is more fun to drive, though, as is the Adventure version of the RAV4. The Suzuki Jimny is the best off road.
How is it because of the electric motor this is clearly brake-related. It's a brake groan/creep, only happens when car is stopped or coming to a stop and brake pedal is engaged/disengaged. They are considered normal but imo they are rather fucking annoying
No, that's... alright. Nice for a car this large, but compared to smaller hybrids, it's nothing crazy. Besides, I wonder what would your reaction be to 94 MPG of the RAV4 Prime lol
@@wojciechmuras553 94 MPGe, which only lasts until the battery runs out. 55 MPG Imperial is about 5.1 l/100km, which is terrific for any SUV that's not a plug-in hybrid.
Wow this may be the best and most detailed review of any product that I've ever watched. I'm trying to decide on the best SUV to rent from Turo for moving and ended up on this video. You definitely have a new subscriber! Thanks a lot for this!
The drilling sound at 10:52 is auto hold function and also auto parking break. Already made 6000km on my new RAV4. I was skeptical in the beginning because we bought it out of necessity and price/quality ratio. But by now I’m getting really fond of it. Got few mods like HUD in the front, new grill, and few extra things for the front bumper, akrapovič exhaust heads, planning on installing catback exhaust. It’s a really nice vehicle that you love more after you start driving it.
Drove the XLE Premium version in white as a rental. It's surprisingly comfortable but the seats can get a bit stiff after a few hours of non-stop driving (especially on twisty roads). The 5.7 seconds 0-60 is also quite noticeable once you put your foot down, but for the average person you won't notice the difference between the driving modes. All in all a fun car, very spacious and good knee and head room, along with more than enough boot capacity. Fair note, the white colour will come off as fairly dirty after a few trips. Edit: Corrected 0-60 time.
@@didek9625 5.7 seconds for the non-hybrid XLE premium to be exact. Not sure which one youre referring to, regardless of me getting the numbers mixed up.
that brake noise was explained to us by the dealer as being the result of the energy recovery system for the hybrid setup working? not sure if i am explaining it correctly
I have the same noise on my Pajero IV, there is an electric brake fluid pump and if it fails, it's really expensive. I think it's a similar set up here. It allows greater electronic control over braking.
@@scotiajinker8392, yeah. In the Pajero it's for imitating diff locks, but not all cars which have these "diff locks" have this system. It's just a more advanced system with more adjustments.
I have land cruiser 200 and I have to say that my car has the same noise too which is interesting because at least I can make sure that the brake system is working fine.
This is exactly why we need Mat to review cars! Everyone else is just elborating on spec sheet and reviewing cars on paper! Thank you Matt! Now for a people like me please do best used cars to buy in 2019. It's about time! 🤲🙏
I've had one of these for 2 years now, the Edge model in Australia is top of the range, leather, sunroof, AWD, 2.5 petrol, off road mode selection. I think its great, can't fault anything about it and reckon I'll have it for a fair few years more 👍
5:35 and 5:55 Omg Mat foresaw the Covid19! The funniest thing is that he acts like "I'm a weirdo for carrying those around" but nowadays it's the standard😂.
I like this look better It's sporty yet refined when you have the right color combination to give it that feminine finish. From a bland car to come up with such a design improvement that's full of personality...I'm impressed.
The RAV4 of a couple generations ago had a V6 and it was a kicker. But it sold poorly compared to its 4cyl model. So it was discontinued. People are impossible to please.
I did have the previous model to this as a company hire car for about 4 months last year. It was 2.5 petrol hybrid and for the size of car it is pretty fast when you have it in Sport mode. It was 100% reliable and I grew to love it, the only thing that was really bad was the infotainment and satnav which were SO slow. iT looks like this new version has a better system though so that is good news. I just wish it was a few grand cheaper as its out of my budget when I come to request my own company car. Mine was black with black alloys and it looked awesome.
I have seen many reviewers from different sites, but the way you review is completely genuine and add bit fun with carwow stick :) maybe this is the reason for most of the people watch carwow reviews reviewed by Mat.
My mom bought a 2021 XLE (in America) after a hit-and-run driver totaled her car and she loves it. 100% correct about it beeping and hollering no matter what you do, though. When I call her, I can hear it hollering away in the background for one reason or another, lol. She can't say enough about its safety features. Super important, considering why she lost the other car in the first place. She originally wanted a Honda CRV but fell in love with the RAV 4 at first drive.
Subaru haven't launched a new and exciting model since about 1824, so why would they bother reviewing them? I love Subarus from the era they were great, mid 90's to exactly 2008. After that all they've done is absolute rubbish. You can't possibly argue otherwise.
@@worrywart1311 Compared to Toyota, Subarus are like Ferrari 812's. Toyota is by far and away my least favorite mainstream brand. I agree about all their models, but they do still have the Supra and Land Cruiser lineup. So, still better than Subaru.
He is too busy cleaning the car out after taking it to some quiet country lanes and woods at night, did you not see the rubber gloves and hand sanitzer?
You can't fault the RAV4, an absolute great SUV for everyone~ It's no wonder this is one of Toyota's bestsellers. I have a 2021 RAV4, and it's miles better than the previous generation one I had from 2017. Nonetheless, any RAV4 is going to be a good one.
I thought that you might like to know that if it's raining or at any other time you don't have to stand there and watch the tailgate close. You can just carry on and get in the car
That drilling sound when de-pressing the brake pedal is the electric brake actuator pumping brake fluid in to the system so that the brakes will work even when the engine is off. All Toyota & Lexus Hybrids make that sound.
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is the most beautiful RAV4 created by Toyota. I like the spacious and comfortable interior of the RAV4. I like the big trunk of the RAV4 that has a lot of space.
The "weird break sounds" sounds like the electronic brake pressure booster hybrids have to replace hydraulics. Perhaps it's louder because there RAV gets bigger brakes than the Prius. When driving, you won't notice that as much, but you'll hear a click when it switches from regen to friction. Also...why would anybody still want a diesel over a hybrid after all the nonsense?
Because they are more efficient especially on the motorway and they don't have a horrific drone box transmission and they are more reliable. As for the nonsense what nonsense?
@@joa8593 Oh you are referring to globalistic government conspiracy theory that aims to destroy the best form of transportation in the world. I'll pass the Diesel emission scandal conspiracy is a hoax spread by tyrannical governments trying to restrict personal freedom by slandering the best type of engines in the world.
I was really excited for the new RAV4 but I hate the square wheel arches and the infotainment system screen which looks like a 90s mini TV. Weird I actually prefer the look of the outgoing model...
The outgoing model has an inferior 4WD system that will guarantee you will get stuck if you ever go down a muddy lane. The new car's system is much better.
True, although Tiguan has sliding rear seats, so if you cut your childrens legs off and slide the seats fully forward you get 615 litres, bu then who believes any figures from VW?

It’s fast, especially when going from 0 to 60. The first 50 meters are really fast! I was very surprised driving it.

Lol haha (not ironic) (for real, this is actually funny)
Video editing changed i see.. no separate video for infotainment or seating, boot capacity. Everything integrated in this right?
He is too busy cleaning the car out after taking it to some quiet country lanes and woods at night, did you not see the rubber gloves and hand sanitzer?
@@matgoesdogging5941 i do see them now...
You can't fault the RAV4, an absolute great SUV for everyone~ It's no wonder this is one of Toyota's bestsellers. I have a 2021 RAV4, and it's miles better than the previous generation one I had from 2017. Nonetheless, any RAV4 is going to be a good one.
I thought that you might like to know that if it's raining or at any other time you don't have to stand there and watch the tailgate close. You can just carry on and get in the car
That drilling sound when de-pressing the brake pedal is the electric brake actuator pumping brake fluid in to the system so that the brakes will work even when the engine is off. All Toyota & Lexus Hybrids make that sound.
This will outlast all German made cars and it's the biggest selling SUV in the US.
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is the most beautiful RAV4 created by Toyota. I like the spacious and comfortable interior of the RAV4. I like the big trunk of the RAV4 that has a lot of space.
kind of miss how the old rav4's were smaller
That drilling sound is actually coming from the electronic ABS Parking and Normal Brake
This video is so hygienic! Impressive
Mat I love your videos realy but I suggest you include the maintenance cost related to the models so that can add more value to your videos
I think its the one of the best looking suv in the market.
4:51 "That's goooood" like jeremy clarkson hahagaj
Clarkson is a senile asshole
Gotta love the fact that frontscreen heater is called rear window whipper
They all have full led headlights, the Excel and above get dual beam projector LED's. The lower cars have reflector LED headlights.
What a great review - thanks so much for posting it. It's entertaining, informative, and comprehensive.
The "weird break sounds" sounds like the electronic brake pressure booster hybrids have to replace hydraulics. Perhaps it's louder because there RAV gets bigger brakes than the Prius. When driving, you won't notice that as much, but you'll hear a click when it switches from regen to friction.
Also...why would anybody still want a diesel over a hybrid after all the nonsense?
Because a diesel will work in 15 year's time lol
Haedyn Johnson my friend has an ‘08 prius with 350K miles and only $3k of repairs, toyota hybrids are dead simple
Because they are more efficient especially on the motorway and they don't have a horrific drone box transmission and they are more reliable. As for the nonsense what nonsense?
@@gravemind6536 wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal
@@joa8593 Oh you are referring to globalistic government conspiracy theory that aims to destroy the best form of transportation in the world. I'll pass the Diesel emission scandal conspiracy is a hoax spread by tyrannical governments trying to restrict personal freedom by slandering the best type of engines in the world.
I was really excited for the new RAV4 but I hate the square wheel arches and the infotainment system screen which looks like a 90s mini TV. Weird I actually prefer the look of the outgoing model...
Bartosz Schatton agree completely
The outgoing model has an inferior 4WD system that will guarantee you will get stuck if you ever go down a muddy lane. The new car's system is much better.
In many other suv reviews, i noticed that gearbox doesnt respond fast enough when you floor it but its really good on rav4. Instant pick up i like it
What an amazing review!! Watching from Brazil! Good joob!
8:08 Tiguan has 520 liters, RAV4 has more with 580 liters
True, although Tiguan has sliding rear seats, so if you cut your childrens legs off and slide the seats fully forward you get 615 litres, bu then who believes any figures from VW?
Really nice video good job😉
Why have you not reviewed the Subaru Forester? It is in this category, I hope u will do it soon. Am looking forward to that review
Mat, the emergency teabag holder is for the car key it fits in it and doesn’t fall out while you are driving

My second gen rav4 has the same horn lol
Best car I've ever owned , coming from a Land Rover product.
Coming from a rusty fridge*
u're the type of a guy who spends salary in first 10 days of month & than cries in last days of month
Really? I very rarely check my bank balance, as I am wealthy enough not to care .
I just love your reviews and you’re very funny 😂 too which makes me want to watch you more.
I love this Rav 4 and thinking of getting one.
Your tripping the actual horn sounds great
Mat the kind of guy to have a secret crush on Doug!
😅
@@tharan8069 😂
so true
😂
Better than Doug.
Best reviewer hands down 🤟
00:26
Do the same thing with stiffer Mercedes
Mat is so funny, but he actually has the most comprehensive reviews. Mat: More than just Drag (Racing)
Probably the best 4 x 4 in the world! Love my 57 2.2 diesel. Ne’er a problem since I’ve had it. Totally totally reliable and solid!
1:42 "scratching plastics down here..." I just burst out laughing seeing the hand motion.. 😂😂😂
