I find the ski hatch handy for acoustic guitar/ case. Load it straight in, have space then either side. Wife picking up rav4 hybrid this week. This video was really helpful. Got a lot from the review. Thank you
I don’t use it as an actual ski hatch but do find that hatch useful for long narrow items without having to put down the seats. Nice to see your subs moving up.
Looking at buying one. Is the rav4 really that heavy on petrol (9.4L/100km)? Seems seriously heavy on juice. Local Toyota dealer told me it would be 6.1-6.5 on average
I have the same model but with Panoramic roof which really lightens the interior and I don’t know what driving you did, but my fuel consumption averages 45/46mpg. Overall hard to fault the car 👍
Seems to best value and spec against its competitors. Thinking of getting one but concerned they will have a redesign soon enough. I can’t see anything online.
If my maths are correct 9.7l per hundred kilometres equates to 29ish mpg. It’s difficult to tell unless the two cars are being driven back to back, but I think my Skoda Kodiaq 1.4tsi, 4x4, with 7 seats and a DSG gearbox would at least match that or probably beat it! Great review though Nobby.
Qasim Ansari I think the CR-V could be a little easier on fuel but I’ve only driven the Honda for 20 minutes, I have one for a week in August. Build quality both very similar. I need that full week to properly call it!
@@NobbyOnCars Cheers for the quick reply. I am curious to know what you think after a more thorough test. I drove the petrol CRV and loved it. RAV 4 was also excellent but the Honda offers more family practicalities. Curious about the hybrid though.
Thank you, Nobby, for your videos on the Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid and the Honda CR-V Hybrid, We are Getting The Toyota Rav 4 Plug in Electric hybrid Next yr, here in the US of A, the difference between the US, and the Euro models like Toyota our are built on the Toyota Kiazen Platforms, The Euro models are Not,, I Prefer Our Toyota USA Models Better, and like The Steering wheel is on the Wrong Side Of The Car in your Beautiful Ireland, MY Scottish Cousins would Also Agree...🚙❤️🇺🇸🦋👍
what the fuck did you do to get such a consumption??? I drove a full weekend with the Lexus NX hybrid all wheel drive with a lot of highway mileage (130km/hour) with a consumption of 8 liter/100km.!!!!!!!
Vin sher u obviously have never seen Matt Wilson from carwow do a review. 1 off the biggest uk car reviewers he throws the parcel shelf from the car 🚗. Also Jeremy Clarkson comes to mind. Keep up the reviews nobby. 👍
@@gavin6385 I have, none of these guys will do it for their own cars, they are more than happy to do it for the cars they review, BTW this reminds me that this behaviour then common to UK reviewers
2019 rav4 hybrid is rated for 40 US MPG (6.1L/100km) combined which is by far class leading in northern America. Not sure what different compact suvs are available in Europe but in North America this is insanely good fuel economy.

Congratulations on 2 k subs. 💥😃 Slowly getting there
Good review once again sir hats off to you so you prefer this to the Honda CR-V ?
Honda feels a little more luxurious inside both great options though
I don’t use it as an actual ski hatch but do find that hatch useful for long narrow items without having to put down the seats. Nice to see your subs moving up.
Wish more had the pass through. Super useful for hockey sticks in Canada.
Great reviews really enjoy the videos so far. Would you go for this or the skoda karoq?
Karoq would be a bit smaller and a good deal cheaper so it would be hard to compare. The Kodiaq would be more in line with the RAV.

Think I just had a thirsty one, seems to do 5.5L in other Toyotas I’ve had since
@@NobbyOnCars thanks very much. I was kinda stuck between a Kuga Stline X diesel or a Rav4. Think I’ll go with the Rav as it also has a bigger boot.
Toyota is King
I have the same model but with Panoramic roof which really lightens the interior and I don’t know what driving you did, but my fuel consumption averages 45/46mpg. Overall hard to fault the car 👍
Not sure what the story was with the consumption but yes, normally 5L/100kms is achieved
If you were to run out of petrol, would the electric motor still work and get you to a petrol station?
No not in a Toyota currently
Haven't had the chance in owning a hybrid car. Are their PMS cost more compared to regular cars?
Seems to best value and spec against its competitors. Thinking of getting one but concerned they will have a redesign soon enough. I can’t see anything online.
Our AWD 2019 Rav 4 hybrid XLE consistently gets 41 mpg combined or 5.7 l per 100 kilometers.
Think there was something wrong with my right foot that week, I've had a few replies now saying that sort of consumption.
If you forget to subscribe to the channel don't worry you'll be reminded numerous times throughout the video.
Gotta work those subs!
As a company car option, 30000 miles annually. Better with Rav4 or 3008.
Would you go for a Rav4 or Peugeot 3008.
Rav a bit bigger... 3008 a bit cheaper €€€...
A darker color suits me better for the RAV. Not a great fan of this white. Outside ok, inside mwoaww. But still; great car
Good review. MPG is nowhere like the Toyota claim. I wpuld like to know what it would be like towing a caravan

Great review though Nobby.
Correct on the fuel conversion. My driving was very much city based, only one trip on the M50. Those TSI engines are so tried and tested.
I drive a Lexus is300h 18 model...easily doing 52mpg during the summer and 47mpg during winter
Stephen Fox can’t argue with that!
I’ve 1100 kms of mixed driving done on my Rav and I’m getting 5.5l/100kms
3:40 cringe
also no idea how you managed to do 9.7km/hour as I have 5.5 average after few months of use
“Cringe” - didn’t know kids watched car reviews. Lighten the hell up man!
So, 50% more fuel consumption than you saw in your review of the Honda CV-R hybrid? Wow.
I think the Rav was just running in or something because I drove a Camry with the same engine two weeks after and it was 5L/100kms all day long
Better than the Honda CRV hybrid?
Qasim Ansari I think the CR-V could be a little easier on fuel but I’ve only driven the Honda for 20 minutes, I have one for a week in August. Build quality both very similar. I need that full week to properly call it!

CRV doesn't have spare wheel. RAV4 more noisy and worst suspensions. Price similar.
Seems to be biased with the Rav 4. Both are good autos though I’d have to agree.

Getting 39.5mpg combined

Subaru Forester is better and around 10% cheaper.
The sport is 43k+ euro on the road, 41k euro will get you the Sol
Cinnamon Mon that was the Toyota Ireland official price, sometimes they can change a bit though.
If you want more subs, respect the car you review, just don't try to break things (3:45) like a baby
Vin Sher what did I break?!
It's for a bit of a laugh, don't take life (or cars) so seriously
It’s obviously a joke, I thought it was quite funny! :- )

Self, sorry petrol charging Toyota. Very expensive and poor economy. Nice car but hard to consider a viable option.

the consumtion can not be right.......
