- The original Toyota RAV4 was ahead of the times. Low running costs, sporty handling and a novel raised driving position all in a sensible four-wheel-drive SUV package gave it a quirky appeal. So can the current RAV4 match these qualities in the modern era? I find out in this in-depth review.

Bought a new rav 4 had my previous rav 4 I owned for 9 years no mechanical problems very reliable.
I Have the same expirience :D
Which Rav4 grade is in the video?
Steve Thea I think GXL
@@adrianlee2357 how makes you think that
Steve Thea I just saw one yesterday.
You don't buy a Toyota for interior quality; you buy it for it's longevity
RMH 666 yes you're right
Billy McAuliffe omg lol
RMH 666 i dont agree with what he said, so mercedes interior dont use plastic? For the mercedes price the interior better be full aluminum... o agree with you toyota is so reliable and modest to keep especially long term..
*its
2:26 does it done with tyre repair kit and full size spare?
As an owner of two large dogs, I must say that Matt's boot test is the best in the business. Wish more reviewers will show the boot space of cars with dogs in them.
If this dude joins Top Gear. I'll watch again :D
Wait for the grand tour. And BTW, Chris Evans has left :)
I know all that, but, this guy is awesome for good ol TG.
Haha, yeah! BTW, are you Indian too?
+Toyota Prius Very near! ☺
So where are you from?
Matts the best car reviewer on youtube GOAT
i guess you dont know sombody named DOUG DE MURO
At least this car got convenient placed to put my wallet and keys. Some now a days don't even have that and need to put in centre console lol
@@-_--le3zk lol
Mat gives the most entertaining and not boring reviews on cars. I used to watch his reviews on car buyer as a kid and that's how I got into specs and stuff about cars. The one thing I would complain about Is that he is doing a 2018 review on a 65 plate (2015) which I dont think makes a difference as they have the same shape but there would be some improved things in the 2018 i think.
While I love my 2018 RAV4 SE I wish I had known before I purchased it that you cannot install a bike hitch or tow a trailer of any kind with the SE trim level of this vehicle. Per page 181 of the owner's manual, Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer or installing a hitch carrier of any kind with the RAV 4 SE. You can tow with the other trim levels though. I just thought I would share this information for those who are considering purchasing this vehicle. Other than that fact, I love the RAV4. I wish I had bought the RAV4 Adventure though . . .
Jump on to the R4W fourum. Lots of people get hitches installed. You probably shouldn’t tow with it, but you could easily carry a bike rack with a Curt or U-Haul hitch. No problem s for me!
Mat with CVT is not noisy at all. 2016 facelift has an improved noise insolation. also you should mention that the seats are very very comfy. great car for long journeys.
Toyota is unbeatable..
bruh...
Ford Kuga Mk2 is just as good and cheaper.. it is all down to how well you maintain them
U having a laugh drive merc ml different league
Do people actually feel the upper dash?
+Blake Swan all the while. Every second. 100 per cent
No
@@carwow WHAT ABOUT THE USUAL 4 OPTIONS AT THE END OF VIDEO??
Please make more car reviews. This is the only channel i enjoy watching when it comes to car reviews!
I'll take this over a Tiguan any day.
I'd take a jet over this any day (I mean, literally)
yeah whenever toyota learns how to design a decent interior....
Or a decent exterior for that matter, or a good infotainment system that allows you to change volume while switching the station, or good speakers that don't need a different equalizer setting for each song, or a door with less than 7 different materials on it, or engines that don't blow up....etcetera etcetera
***** i like their interiors ._. Unlike the exteriors
***** Never heard of European engines to blow up, but I know for a fact that the Toyota diesels are crap! All of them (1.4, 2.0, 2.2). Why do you think they are doing deals with BMW exchanging hybrid technology for diesel engines!
Matt is the best reviewer for the mass consumer period
No ultrasonic beeps, only CAMERA which does not audio warn you of a post if you don't see it....
Every review gets better and better! Good work carwow!
Why don’t they make the small RAV4 anymore. I loved my 2 door Rav 4 in the 90’s?
What’s this mate on?? Hahaha
That water bottle scene was the best
can you please do a review for the toyota rav4 2019

I like this. It's a Toyota. It will last and do the job brilliantly .I think matts the best reviewer on TH-cam, but you can't have a go at hard plastic when it's supposed to be hard that silver trim is a metal effect 🤭 and he's jumping skills into a boot is sublime
really love this guy
always talk about good things and bad things unlike others channel
Hey Matt, I absolutely love your reviews.
Can you please make the 2016 maserati granturismo 😊
I had a SE RAV-4 and an EXL-CRV. (Both 2018 models) Both are good cars, however my RAV-4 must have been had someone designing the function knobs and push keys that was still in the second grade. I had to use a flashlight to see hidden recessed buttons. The doors collect mud like crazy around the door sill area. The engine was very noisy. Of course the dealer says they are all that way. They are not all that way. At times the transmission was jerky at low and higher speeds. It's AWD system wouldn't get out of its own way. (North Dakota). After 3 years I traded for a CRV Touring. A far superior car. Great ride, smooth transmission, and much better overall gas milage for me. In the upper trims the Toyota costs a lot more. They charge extra for every little add on. Honda cars usually come all equipped with few add ons. The Toyota hybrid drove well. It is a CVT. The reason Toyota charges more is because people pay more. Both Honda and Toyota have made some lemons. That is why I lease my cars.
I got 2011 v6 rav4 such a good car six year till now its a good car never let u down
Damn Car wow! Come on viewers give this channel 1Mil Subs!! Excellent content!
Listen to Niyaaz everyone!
+carwow done
Bit concerned that you said that the diesel engine causes "arse-tingling" vibration... that model is on my shopping list and although I had a brief test drive of one, that wasn't something I noticed. How bad is it and is it at certain engine speeds or throughout the rev range?
I rented one of these in the Hybrid version with the 2.5 litre petrol engine. I must say that it is really smooth and nice. It does have the annoying transmission that hangs in the gears but I can't complain when I got 6.5 l/100km in city driving and saved more money than if I got a small petrol hatch
Great review but now in 2021 all the links for the in-depth review/ infotainment system review are all broken and link to the new model (not this 2018 model). Which is a bummer for those looking at buying this older model second hand.
hello every one i live in pakistan where weather conditions are extreme. automobiles are very expensive here compare to usa etc. but people buy toyota more especially in areas where roads are not good. i found more old toyota vehicle's than any other brand same in the saudi arabia. why is that? weather conditions in saudi arabia are extremely hot and toyota rules there too. i have driven toyota vitz ( yaris) 1.0 lite 65 horsepower automatic Japanese made i found it slow but comfortable why toyota said to be more reliable than any other japanese brand ? sorry for bad english i hope u don't mind☺
Marketing
Is normal that Toyota in general to be reliable bc have old technology.. are very simple, think at golf 3 from 95 lol
Old Toyotas are extremely good in extreme weather. It's also why they were extremely popular in Northern Europe (the ones with snow and ice). French cars didn't do well and Italians wouldn't even start...and Germans were expensive both to buy and maintain.
infiltr80r I drove new Toyota Auris, Golf 7 and new Megane. Compared with last 2,Toyota had a interior extremely cheap, simple and bad handling. Normal that is reliable if at technology level is extremely low. No touch screen no sistem start stop plastic extremely cheap,i had a good opinion in past but after i drove it, Toyota it's a bad joke
Cornel Con
Yeah they're going downhill. But a start stop button isn't a big deal for most, I actually prefer the old school key turning method which is more reliable.
Your opinion of the cars would change after 5 years of driving them.
I searched for cars that are still in working condition for sale that have done 300,000km. There are many Toyotas and Volkswagens but very few Renaults.
Beautiful review Mat . Though I will buy It in 2020 Inshaalah
5:43 My Dad had a Prius+ and we didn't even know they were there until one day when I was driving it with the seat at the lowest it would go (don't ask, I like to mess about) and I noticed there was a USB input and heater controls.
Mat ...where is Nissan X trail review...couldn't find one in Carwow !!
Just picked one up 4 months ago and really like it !
I have a blue rav4 from 2017
Toyota dropped the standard power lift gate from XLE for 2017, you need XLE with convenience package to get power lift gate along with blind spot monitoring, push button start, smart key, and rear cross traffic alert.....
Hey guys, are you going to be reviewing the Polo Beats? Another great review btw!
Please review on toyota crown 2018
I've just bought a 2013 RAV4 2.2 D Auto Invincible. A short test drive convinced me that I wanted one. Picking it up next Friday. My partner has had one of the earlier model RAV4 for 16 years and it's still going strong, so i'm hoping mine will be as reliable. Time will tell.
What model is that rav4? The front looks a lot different than what i usually see on a rav4.
Please, do on Land Cruiser and Lexus LX.. I want to know which one is the greater one.. Thank you!
mate we need your 2019 Rav4 hybrid review
awesome car
Fix and Drive lol no
As always,... best car reviews ever! Thankyou Mat
I am still waiting for your review of Toyoto C-HR,, when is it coming? Are you bringing it soon?
hey Matt, can you do a review on the best of every category, i.e. city car, hatch, family sedan, medium saloon, SUV, mpv and etc...
Should've done "Toy-Yoda" rather than "Two-Yodas", imo
We spent our toy budget on steadycams and 4k cameras, otherwise we would've done…
What's new 2018 model (vs 2017) ?. 🤔
Will you do Toyota Auris review?
Can someone recommend if it is a good Idea to by a 2018 Rav4 with 118 000km, I'm actually just looking for a second-hand reliable SUV
Do you like TwoYodas?
Wahey! Good spot
funny you use Two Yodas. If you remember , the founder of toyota was called ... Toyoda.
+carwow Clever Easter egg Mat, although I prefer it when you don't spoil it at the end by telling the thickos the joke 😂
accent
best review ever
Why the water bottle, stuck between the two front seats?
...at 5:47...
Fine reviews
You are doing a superb job in a superb manner and style
What I am looking for is a review of Toyota Proace Verso 2017 or 2018
Thanks
Your reviews are awesome. You should turn on the subtitle thing where people can translate and contribute on whatever language they want. This way your videos would be helpfull to people who don't understand Engligh.
Just saying :D
I know it is just a typo but I laughed hard when I spotted "Engligh". I don't know why lol
ooops xD
One of my best reviews:):)
Good review as usual.
Really funny review! Really love it when weird funny things enter the realm of reviewing.
Can anyone confirm what the ground clearance for this UK gen 4 model is? I can only find US model data suggesting it's only 6.1 inches (155mm), which seems very low for a RAV4. The gen 5 claims to be 190mm (Toyota UK official), which seems more credible.
Just had a bad experience with a shitty un reliable skoda superb. So tempted by one of these
Where can i get the boot netting in 6:30? The dealership in Cyprus does not offer this in the accessories offered. Thank you
Can you please do a review on TOYOTA VANGUARD? I will be grateful!!
The storage above the glove compartment is for the box of tissues. It's a family car! ))
🤣 this man had me laughing every minute. Hes so entertaining.
Your easter egg reminded me of the story of the Hooters waitress and the Toy Yoda
Top review. As usual 😉
I'm pretty certain James Batchelor owns the trademark for coloured trousers!
Manual transmission huh love it😍 here in the usa everybody driving on the D which is sad and boring😤😒
hey Matt, please review the Mazda CX5
Apparently CW use Trello to manage their freelancers - very nice.
Please improve the audio quality.I have marked this several times.Sometimes we can not just hear it
I guess by having less engine options they can test them better, hence the reliability. If they could only improve the perceived quality of the interiors.. like you say, that stitching on the steering wheel is horrid and they have it on other models as well.
Why Mat... a HTC One M9? That thing snaps like chocolate!
05:55 LOOOOL thats true!!!
keep up the good work mat watson
And you Philip Nzuki. Thanks for watching!
OMG you are hilarious! Love this review...thank you ;-) funny you didn't mention how the steering wheel is on the wrong side teehee
Hi Mat, don't you find that the satnav screens on the Toyotas are angled towards the co-driver slightly? They are the only cars I had this problem with, it feels odd because when I drive and have the satnav on, I need to be able to see clearly, as well as hear, where I am going. The angled position is always catching the light making it difficult to see, too. Am I the only one who has noticed this or is it something you get used to when driving these cars? I assume you guys get the cars for longer than a quarter hour's test drive that we mere mortals get from dealerships. I am trying to change my car now and it is so hard to find a car that will give me all that I am looking for, at a price I can afford and be good for low mileage drivers. Lots of diesels out there, some stunning ones, too, but not short runs.
This car has a 65 plate , and the review date is Aug 2016 so it can't be a review of the 2018 model it says in the title !!!!!!!!!!!
Mat you are the best!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
could you please put a review on toyota rush 2018....please
hemanth vijay No this is a UK review channel and we don't get the Rush
Strange that the UK Diesel only comes in Manual. In Australia it's a 2.2L Diesel with CVT only but only 3 years warranty offered here. I think you are wrong about the handling, I drive mine like a race car sometimes and use the CVT manual touch-shift feature to push the turbo and it sticks to the road well. Quite cool you can store the cargo cover under the floor.
Northpoint we don't get the diesel at all now. UK Toyota Rav4 no longer comes as a diesel.
Car buyer did the same reg plate for their review
I bet more people watch this channel than new top gear
try varying the Tommy Hilfiger with a bit of Ted Baker or Gant bro, make it pop.
why you dont have reviews for toyota innova?
can you please do a review on the cx5?
i knew the reason for a slow tailgate opening
Toyota! Best car ever!!! 👌👌👌
There utter crap omg best car ever u funny
Is the RAV4 2.5 Hybrid self charging?
PSCavalier 95 your a dumb fuck
what's the performance of the car with a hybrid engine, does it have good milage and power or is it noticeably inferior in these categories? thank you.
7l/100km if you respect trafic signals, 8/100km if you drive faster. In city you can get les than 6l/100km. 0-100km in 8.x sec is a very fast car and fun to drive. With 4x4 driving in wet mountain roads is amazing. if you race is easy to get 9l/km or more
Do a review on the Subaru Forester
I wouldn't have thought such a meh car could be made so fun. Mat Watson ftw
The best car reviewer in my humble opinion
Dr it hurts when I flick my dash in my car , Dr says well don't flick the dashboard then!
Love this guy's reviews !
Mat roasted Toyotas boot 😂😂😂
wow probably the only video without any dislikes even after hours being posted
Lol because even the haters like toyotas
hahaha I think all the likes are probably for the sexy Mat
I just disliked it
Thanks Joey's sis. We needed some balance!
Joey's sister

Hi, are you planning to test Seat Ateca?
Yes, definitely. Just waiting for a UK car to arrive
Thanks! Looking forward to see it :D
Awesome reviewer! So funny and informative!
