Thanks for actually reviewing a non-top level trim, man. All the big channels only review the most expensive models and it's not helpful!
Of course!!
It’s sad but I love the little cubby next to the shifter. Thats a perfect spot for holding a chicken nugget dipping sauce packet. 🤔
Thanks Toyota for not placing CVTs in your top well known already reliable cars!
Love your review... you're calling it as you see it, keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Great review, your voice is so calming.
Thank you :)
Have to thank you for this, the look on your face when accelerating says it all, NOISY
LOL
What’s wrong with a noisy engine?
This is a great well informed review. thank you. a lot of people go too fast to communicate anything.
Awesome video man 😃😁😁
Great Review man ! Sold me on this RAV4 super bad ass
Thank you!!
Great review man. Very extensive
RAV4 keeps getting BIGGER !!!
best review so far, thank you
Thank you!!
Great review!!!
I’m really happy with my TOYOTA XLE 2019 ❤️❤️❤️
The music at the end is soooo goood!!!! 🤘🤘
Great review, Im waiting to get my XLE in the same colour, I believe mine has a different interior colour and power rear door. Maybe the options are different in Canada. There was only one of the XLE's in white anywhere near my location so i have to wait 10 days :(
Excellent review!
Thank you!
Excellent overview! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
great review man!
Thank you!!
It’s such a nice looking car. Just wished their wasn’t so much outside plastic trim on there. Is it like that with all the rav4’s. My plastic on previous cars always start to whitewash from the sun which bothers me. Great video
Yo Bern. Fantastic review. First timer here.
Thank you!!
Thanks for this review! Can you do the Subaru forester??? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good video! I Really enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Great review 👍👍
Thank you!
Nice review ♡
Thank you!
This is one of the best reviews for the vehicle I've seen. Good job! How are the speakers on this? Will the engine noise interrupt the radio/music?
Thank you very much! The engine isn’t loud enough to intrude any audio, but it’s noticeable when the audio is off. The speakers sound decent. It handles bass well, but the sound could be a bit more crisp
I love the race car sound always have from grandpa.
Just got my wife one. I have to use the sport mode for my taste.
What are your thoughts on the CVT in the new Maximum tho? (300HP) Also my girlfriend likes this one I like the Maximum, we are getting ready to go cross country.. What do you suggest? Is there enough room for me to lay down in the back of the Rav if I fold the seats down in the back? Because of luggage I'll probably will only have half that so I'm thinking it's gonna be really tight
these review made me buy the same white rav4 xle 2019 thanks!😁
Awesome to hear!!
Same😁😁😁
I'm scared the push start gonna mess up is it worth it
You didn’t show...but the front crossbar obstructs the sunroof view...most other cars including older rav4 models have the bars BEHIND the sunroof. I wish it was designed better
Engine sounds good though. Maybe like a brz?
The white paint looks nice.
I love your name LOL 🤣🤣
Bern on Cars Thanks 😄
Thanks
Is there a tray in the glove box? You didn’t show it.
I test drove a 2019 LE and and Limited. I like them but the engine noise is entirely too loud for my liking. I question whether or not the engine is 200+ horsepower. It really seemed like it struggled when trying to accelerate on the highway. I noticed the lag. However I do like how the posted speed limit and other traffic signs pop up on your dashboard.
Do you still do videos here? There’s a video with another guy. Love your content.
Not really, would be nice though.. thank you!
What’s the difference in trim levels of Xle and Xle premium in the Toyota rav 2019
Good job
Never got a push start I feel the car will be stolen or push start will just some how break costing an arm and leg fixing it
I have this car I love it
Here in costa rica the adventure it's around 50 thousand
And the xle 40 thousand
Thanks for your review. I am seriously considering this vehicle but the loud engine and no android auto is making it difficult to consider it over the Mazda CX-5. Please do a review on the CX-5!
Thank you!! I’ll try my best to get in contact with a Mazda dealership!
man, I got my 2014 NEW forester turbo with 10 way auto seat, sunroof, 250hp turbo engine all wheel drive, full roof rack. rear camera display bluetooth etc for 27,300.00 , I think Toyota know they can sell high price
You know what the reasonable price? I mean normally the dealer often give you the higher price, then you always get the vehicle at the upper price. So anyone know what price is good?
Just brought mine last night 🖖
How is it now?
Brandon Gibson love it!
A year later, how have you liked it?
🥇🥇🥇
Wow the key fob looks so boring, the 7 inch screen looks so weird with so much empty black space around the actual screen. Think I’ll wait 3 years for the mid cycle refresh
At least the new tail pipe is laying flat under. If you look at any older Toyota’s tail pipe on the highway from behind, they all hanging down a few inches above the ground like some loose intestines which was really ugly that no other brand does.
Yep, my RX was just like that.
I have owned 2 Rav4s. . I purchased a 2019 Rav4 LE AWD. Love everything about the car except the 8 speed transmission. Purchased it in july and have almost 4K on car. The transmission a safety hazard and I can not deal with this any more. I am going to loose money when I trade. I sent an email to Toyota about the problem He said Toyota had "no record of any problems with the 8 speed transmission". They are denying problems. This will be my last if they can not fix it.
White or red?
I don't mind a little engine noise. And I DON'T like a sport tuned suspension. I LIKE a car that rolls a little; I LIKE a car that leans into a turn.
Why is pricing so cheap????
I own an XLE it has heated front seat and power driver seat so I wonder how come the one you are reviewing is different
You may have the Tech Package on yours
Hy Mickenson,
I am tryna buy a RAV4 XLE AWD sometime next week. How much do you think is a reasonable price?
Bishal Pahari the starting price for brand new RAV4 XLE AWD is about $ 31000
Cool car. Toyota rules.
Oh! This isn't the Hybrid variant. I hope you make a video for the Hybrid version. The gas build isn't even worth a breath. The engine is much more quiet, so is the ride, and not to mention that sweet 40mpg for only $800 more.
It's not anymore than the gas version save for the battery. Toyota built this beast to last like all the rest of their vehicles. That's why they're slow on things like Android Auto, Blind spot monitor, and other vehicle amenities and customizations. They look out for the end user and the longevity of their products. They suck at customer service though. and someone should really look into controlling automobile prices. They're so heavily inflated. This isn't a 40k vehicle, but they're selling it like one.
Does it have a parking sensor? Like if you're pulling into the garage. Or would be an extra expense? I have 19 xle and I cant find it. I had it in the 16 model. It was like a P icon. And its nowhere to be found as far as I can tell.
Where's the AWD switch or is that the types of road condition switches that is the AWD switch
@@hich101 I'm not sure honestly. I guess I was under the impression that its always awd and the buttons change the way it operates. Dont quote me though. Its possible when in eco mode its only 2wd. Sorry I couldn't give a definitive answer.
@@WIRCinc much appreciated. I gots to find out. Maybe when on snow feature it's AWD
I don think the model you had has the leather steering wheel. That looked like the regular non leather steering wheel.
Whoops, that was my fault. I’m used to saying it.
@@BernonCars Yeah that is one of my "have to have's" on a vehicle. Good review!!!!
Thank you!
The engine is noisy because Toyota cheaped out on putting noise insulation on the bottom side of the hood. I really expected more from Toyota, usually they don't overlook these kinds of things. It's something GM would try get away with, why Toyota did that is baffling.
Dave In Canada They cheaped out on a lot more than that. Why can't they also give a really "quality" car design to go along with the reliability? It would be an unbeatable combination but they never get it.
Hood insulation is for sales people to sell, serves no purpose
Paul McCarthy You think so? Drive the RAV4 and listen to that awful engine noise coming back at you when you accelerate. It would surely help deaden it at least to some extent. Better than nothing.
@@avecrux333 I have had three of them and I disagree
@@royhobbs785 I'm referring to the 2019 RAV4. Even professional reviewers have commented on how loud the engine noise is in this model. I've never driven ANY car that made engine noise as loud and objectionable as the 2019 RAV4. The engine sounds cheap and weak, as though it's struggling when you accelerate, and all I did was merge with highway traffic.
G job
Thank you!
This car is Rav4 XLE AWD or FWD ?
AWD
Is the moonroof standard on the XLE? I don't like moonroofs they thend to leak rainwater after a few years.
not standard that level
Sorry to break it to you bud, but that's not a leather wrapped steering wheel.
Great review. I love your facial expressions. Rav 4 Looks cheap. I think I they shafted us to make more profit. The Camry has way more value. I mean come on, they didn’t even give us hood insulation, projector headlights, and clips for the floor mats, are just a few examples
Thank you! Those are definitely good points
Hood insulation means nothing, I work in the business, just salesman talk
@@royhobbs785 it creates a quieter ride and it's very noticable on highway drives. The 2019 rav4 is louder compared to its competitors
Anyone love plastic wheel cover?
No tow hitch = no sale
Toyota rav4s are great reliability vehicles but they use alot of hard plastics on their interiors, honda crv has a better interior materials but they are not reliable as toyota so what to do. 2019 Mazda CX-5
just get the oil changed often and don't keep over 100k miles, lease it
Paul McCarthy are you referring to the cx5 we have a 2015 very reliable suv no problems at all, do my own oil changes every 5k my only gripe is that it gets loud on the highway i test drove the 2017 one but didnt take it on the highway so not sure if its quieter.
@@tommy13965 You're smart, if you buy a used one make sure the dealer serviced it every 5K
Reliability means everything
MY buddie just bought a new CRV VERY cheap plastic every where (mid level model) and the doors shut with that cheap thin metal clang, quality not there IMO...The new RAV looks much better
One comment- CHEAP LOOKING. Let see what 2020 will look like see if they get get off their high horses and get some better options on the xle... and quiet it down more
It’s a shame the rav 4 does not come with a power adjustable driver seat for the base model at a cost of 27k and coins and 28k and coins for the xle. One has to get a convenience package pushing the xle to almost 30k before you can get that feature. The rav 4 is no longer for the average car buyer who could not afford a luxry brand. It’s a deal breaker for me and rediculous at that price. Shame on toyota
My nigga
This thing looks cheap af and it isn't cheap..
I test drove the 2019 RAV4 XLE today......HUGE disappointment, way overpriced for a vehicle that looks and feels cheap inside and out. The enormous plastic "stick-ons" on the vehicle body look so cheap I can't believe Toyota went with them; reminds me of an enormous toy truck. Inside is cheap and poorly designed as well, and the stick-on dashboard tablet looks ridiculously amateurish and intrusive. When I accelerated onto the highway the engine noise was awful and gave the impression of a cheap, weak engine. What a letdown after all the hype and waiting for the 2019 model.
Did you copy and paste this comment on every video?
YellowJacket530 Not every one and not exactly the same comment. I was searching TH-cam for reviews for weeks on the 2019 RAV4 to get a sense for it before I could test drive it. I figure other people are doing the same thing and I want to let others know what it's like in "real life" - i.e. a huge letdown after all the hype. Really disappointed and way overpriced.
@@avecrux333 Yeah, that's fair man. I actually don't think it's that bad. I think the price and value comes from the reliability of the engine along with the gas mileage of the vehicle. A lot of the issues I see people having with the vehicle are aesthetic. The others in this class are the CRV, Forester and the CX-5. The Forester has the CVT transmission (I'm not a fan of) and the repairs on Subaru's expensive (I currently own a Legacy). In addition, their engines start giving off issues at around the 100,000 mark. The CX-5 has the luxury feel to it initially but upon closer inspection and use, it fades away quickly. Their infotainment system also has a few bugs. Still a great car but not as great as folks make it out to be. I'll be honest, I don't know much on the CRV but I just didn't personally find it as appealing. Is the Rav4 perfect? No. But if you're looking for a long-term investment, I think it's a better option. The CX-5 would be my go-to for a lease/city. Subaru is great for the snow/mountains.
YellowJacket530 I totally agree on reliability of the Toyotas. That's why I'm frustrated with the poor aesthetics, and I was half hoping Toyota would see these complaints about that on review videos where I gave my input. I bought Honda for 30 years and their interior designs and choice of materials always meet or exceed expectations, especially this year. BUT the CR-V has oil dilution problems in the current model and I didn't want the Forester for the same reason you don't - the CVT problem. That leaves the over-priced RAV4. What would it take, Toyota, to give your customers a fair value and pleasing aesthetics along with reliability? Not much, but their trim levels barely cut it so the customer feels shorted.
Ave Crux its just not the rav4 all Toyotas have cheap interiors, i was checking out the 2018 camry and the A pillar with the jbl speaker cover is like a tack on very cheap.
