- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2019
- Remember when the Toyota Camry used to be the most popular car in the U.S? Well, now that sedans aren’t as popular, that baton has been passed to the RAV4. For 2019 it’s all new with a more rugged look. What’s life like in one after 450 miles? Tom Voelk takes a top-trim Limited model on a road trip and takes a quick look at the Adventure Series as well.

Tom, love the quality and style of your videos! While I may have already seen 100 other reviews of the Rav4, or any other car for that matter, I always tune in to watch yours cause they're that good. Thanks for the consistent high quality content and I wish you and your channel nothing but success.
I can't thank you enough Tom for your excellent camera work and outstanding presentation. Love the RAV4 shots at dusk. The neighborhood street lights add a nice touch.
You are one of the top 3 car reviewers on TH-cam. I can’t wait until your subs reflect this! I’m definitely a T. Voelk fan boy!
Another fantastic video. Thanks Tom!
Tom, great review as always. A friend bought a '18 RAV and he freaking LOVES that thing.
Great review Tom. I always enjoy your videos!
Tom, your usual good presentation.
Substantially good review
Hi Tom,
Let me say this generation Rav 4 is a big change for Toyota.
I do enjoy your reviews thanks for sharing.
Excellent review
Man this guy deserves alot more subs than that
Ditto. I just "found" his channel but have been watching him the past week or so.
my favorite car reviews
I have a Rav4 Hybrid XSE coming soon! I believe about another week before it's here. I CAN'T wait!
Hello from Australia :)
Keep up the good work
Here's another hello from (S.E.) Australia. Wish it'd rain like that here.
Hi great video.
I enjoyed drive the RAV4 adventure or trail. I really enjoyed driving it drives better compare to the rest of the RAV4.
Thank u Tom!! great review, as usual, and spot on that it's us who are threatened by climate changing, not the planet itself! Great to posit your opinion in reviews, love that!
Thanks for getting drenched for us!
Awesome!
Great review. Where can I get a license plate frame "let's go places" that you had on a tester?
It’s getting big. It looks to be same size as my first-generation Toyota Highlander.
Lloyd Mildon That's why Manufacturers add another car below this segment eg HR-V, CH-R
I 100% agree with you on that note. If someone wanted larger SUV they can go for the Highlander or those whom want more power, likewise, get the highland V6. These SUV with the 4 banger is pretty adequate for the daily commute. LOL
GOOD, it needed to be bigger lol
Wondering if the radio knobs would last long. Thanks for the review.
It's an awesome vehicle !
I’m also a huge fan of the mechanical gear shifts! *Almost* makes me consider giving up my manual transmission Honda. Almost :P
Tom, If your friend's wife does not want that truck-like 4Runner anymore, I can offer it a good home.
Hidden feature, The rear view mirror in my XLE Prem, has its LEVER which is adjustable on both ends of its stretch, for height and 360 degree adjustments. its cool, nobody mentioned it. Like a nice shower head.
Can you review the redesigned 2019 Buick Envision
Tom I feel your pain when it comes to making recommendations. People know I am a walking book of facts when it comes to cars so I get asked a lot for recommendations. I always do my best to respond with things that match what the person asking me is looking for. Usually people end up going with exactly what I don’t recommend and then I have to hear about how they aren’t happy with their choice.
Great vehicle versatile , efficient, easy to drive, affordable and reliable! What else someone should need ? A Camry perhaps?
Do you have any more details on the lane keep assist and dynamic cruise control? I tried both on my test drive and found the lane keep to be not great (and very dangerous when used in the right lane because it gets confused by exit striping), though the cruise control seemed quite good. The CRV's lane keep assist seemed smoother to me, but this is just based on short test drives. I'd be interested to know what conditions you used it with (you mentioned a long road trip-was there anything other than freeways?) and if it had any issues. Since the tech packages are the same across many Toyota models, it would be really useful to know more about how it stacks up against competitors! Also very excited to see your hybrid RAV4 review.
Toyota needs to do something about the engine noise. It is very loud. Please insulate the engine bay!
Very true Tom....
Damn, kind of dark ending, eh? Otherwise, great video.
Nice supersized Subaru Crosstrek for the exterior ...
"It's not the Yaris." LMAO!!
My father in law was recently shopping this car. He did not buy it soley based on the huge blind spots. Darn shame, as otherwise it was a very nice car. (Oh, he got a forrester. If you are looking at either, I'd highly recommend sititing in both - you will be amazed at the differennce in visibility).
Which blind spots (front/rear driver/passenger)? If someone is considering getting either vehicle with blind-spot warning, would that matter? It's a darn shame that both companies claim that all safety tech is included in the base and then they charge extra for BSW.
@@nicklum3248 blind spot monitoring is NO substitute for being able to see out of the vehicle...
@@bikebudha01 Absolutely! I'm still curious about where the huge blind spots are, and whether the blind spot monitors can at all mitigate that. I recently test drove the RAV4 and didn't find it to have bad blind spots, which is why I'm curious about his experience.
I have recommended minivans to everyone who has little ones because of the sliding doors, third row room and cargo capacity. But all I got from them was it doesn’t look cool enough and they wouldn’t be caught dead in a minivan. Second the RAV4 is expensive for in the XLE and Limited trim!!
Ihave the Canadian version of that limited rav4 and i absolutely love it...we are going to buy another car and i really hope Toyota sorts out that cable issue in the electric version so we could order one..
Huge fan of the sense system...hate no android auto (only a 2019 issue though )can't see myself driving another model/ brand..
Test drove a Limited today the engine noise is very noticeable in the cabin upon acceleration.
I still enjoy sedans. Rarely use all that cargo space in SUVs
I would love Toyota to come with a technology that improve the GPS to have live camera
we can easily see the street when we are driving . Everything the GPS says and can see it through the camera.
It's about time they worked on the appearance
Too bad they did a terrible job.
Looks a lot nicer
I like my Rav4 but could do without the power liftgate.
Another great review, can you add a decent test of safety tech to your reviews please ? Its an ever changing area that makes new car purchasing difficult as the tech differs so much (and the dealers waffle about) - active cruise as an example - many have it, but only some you can use in city stop start traffic and it does it for you (we all must want that) but no reviewers tell us much or show us really ? My drives normally involve tons of city traffic, so however much I would love to chuck my car around and experience the amazing handling it may have, the reality is, I am sitting in a queue waiting for a red light to change :( ........ handling has gone totally from my choice of next car must haves, its irrelevant now in the real world most of the time, unless you live out-of-town (and I don't ). So many reviews show us a 0-60 or a swift blast around a country lane, or tight turn, but a quiet, comfortable car that takes a lot out of stop start traffic would be a god sent to me - I will sacrifice some country carving for it !
Ha ha, your spin on the interior cab noise was brilliant, this Rav is unacceptable loud. Also not mentioned was that a snap in soundproofing pad placed under the hood would cure this, the approaches for this pad are already there. Toyota is now being forced to comment on this, thus your off hand reference to it. Smooth talking.
5:42. I think what you meant to say is, ESPECIALLY luxury brands. 😂
It’s nice to see the evil twin back in this video.
Oof. Robert Cayce 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Just found a used 2012 V6 with 21,000 miles. Looked at this but no headroom and seems smaller.
Wow... I thought all the Bilbo/Frodo Bagginsesss did was perambulate throughout the shire...
how about the noise in high speed??
Tom, I can hardly wait for your RAV4 Hybrid review. With a bump in acceleration and 10-12 free miles per gallon, what's not to like?
Those extra mpg aren't free. Unless you buy a totally stripped down model, which will be hard to find, due to the added premium for the hybrid you'll never break even.
William King it’s only 500 more, so i think you could break even.
@@evanlandry9503 actually it's $800. Plus good luck finding one that's not loaded with options. My point was that finding a Rav4 hybrid that has a decent feature set and doesn't cost $35,000 or more will be pretty difficult. For example, although they are not the same vehicles, that is gas vs hybrid, I can get a Subaru Forrester Limited that has basically the same features as a Rav4 XSE for nearly $4,000 less than the Rav. You can buy a lot of gas for $4,000. That helps to mitigate the lower fuel mpg in the Subaru vs the rav hybrid.
Get the hybrid. Its excellent and the engine noise is significantly quiter. Its just an overall a much smarter car (the hybrid)
Currently averaging 40.9mpg in everyday city/highway
No worries sedans will make a comeback thanks to the continuing rise in crossover prices.
The price of a crossover is marginally higher than its sedan counterpart. The major cause of the price difference is the AWD system (typically $2k)
The house saw the Rav4 coming. 5:04....
Whats the ground clearance
What was Toyota thinking? Every review complains about the engine noise. How did they consider this car "market ready" with that rattle box and under the hood and crumby soundproofing?
I can't fathom making such a large purchase based on the fact that my car looks intimidating. Hard sigh
Totally agree on the engine noise being excessive and unpleasant. I noticed that instantly when I test drove one, and it was a surprise. I feel like other reviewers have not made enough of a point of that. Makes it feel very much like an economy car, not a $35,000 car. Also, no CD player is just cheap on Toyota's part. As it hard touch plastic on the upper door, even on the XLE Premium.
I agree seems a bit high in cost ,Allan Desmond
Winner winner rav4 dinner
The engine noise isn’t any louder then any other suv. Especially if you have the radio and heat or ac on. The only crazy thing is $39k and no power passenger seat.
The 8 speed holds on to the low gears for better efficiency? Wouldn't the efficiency be achieved at higher gears?
I think he meant to say lower rpm's.
Who all has the 2019 Rav4 and has issues with it jolting so hard when its switching gears? I have had mine for two weeks and it already is having issues with gear shifting and now jolting so hard it flings my head and neck forward! I have bulging discs in my neck and I cant be in a car that does this daily. It's currently in the shop now. They said they cant find anything wrong with it even though I have witnesses who have experienced this issue. One being the salesman who drove it on Saturday and witnessed first hand the severe head jerk. This car is brand spanking new! I have read many consumer reports and there are tons of people complaining about this same issue. Again....I have severe neck issues and this is not safe for my neck. I want to know if Toyota plans to address this issue or if they will force me to drive this until my disk is herniated and I'm out of work and on the operating table? And then still driving it after surgery jolting my neck?
I'm 13 DAYS IN! I WANT A SAFER VEHICLE! I WANT A TRADE IF THIS IS THE "NORMAL". ILL BE DAMNED IF I JUST FINANCED $32,000 FOR A CAR THAT WILL CAUSE ME MORE HEALTH PROBLEMS AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE MONEY BECAUSE I CANT WORK OR SURGERIES.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY SITUATION TOYOTA! MAKE THIS RIGHT.
Christy Dellaria You must not be a smooth driver. I doubt there is anything wrong with your RAV. The torque converter stays locked for max efficiency.
3rd gen v6 eats this 8speed 203 HP put together
Yes.
Is this the guy from americas funniest videos? 🙄😂😂
You need to wear out that new camera...We need more videos...Great reviewer..
Toyota should learn a thing or two from Mazda CX-5 and CR-V when folding down those rear back seat with one level operation without extra effort to manually push the rear seat down after the latch etc.. LOL
no led head light why
The evil twin is back!
The truck-like ride is the main reason why I didn't get one. It's a great car otherwise.
Mechanical feel shift lever is a huge plus. I hate those Digi-Shifters. Btw, your evil twin was a bit of a "show boat" during this segment.
I wonder why the transmission lever is closer to passenger and that big knob is closer to driver. Strange! Otherwise as honest a vehicle as there is in marketplace. Not many vices. Now about that V6 RAV-4
Toyota has been there and done that. They could barely give them away. Toyota is not going to make that mistake again.
Paul M, Amen and Hallelujah . The Hybrid has rendered the ordinary 4 cylinder obsolete and created a nice niche for a performance V6.
@@rightlanehog3151 Sorry. It's the performance V6 that's obsolete. #CafeStandards
Any word on the 2019 RAV4 getting Android love anytime soon?
Perhaps in 2020 models, various models will get it then. It will be phased in slowly according to Toyota. They REALLY didn't want to add it. Like many other automakers, I've heard it's because of the data aggregation that Google performs, which is far more intrusive than iOS.
@@DrivenCarReviews Thank you for your response.
The new RAV4 is as thrilling as, um ... a new dishwasher. Those curves and the control panel look just like my new home appliance, only it's white ;-)
I’ve chosen this one over a nice equipped Tiguan RLine. Toyota does it better IMHO. It’s totally different though but I like hybrid drives so really there was no other choice.
Great review. This is very much an also-ran compared to the CRV in terms of handling and packaging but it has a couple things going for it. The Toyota Badge and the kinda semi-butch-ish styling perhaps. Pricey for what it is though.
that engine sounds horrendous. did toyota take out the sound-deadening from the bonnet?
I think you need to change the name of your channel to "Rainy Day Car Reviews"
it’s not for nothing that it’s called ''British'' Columbia .
Tom, I’ve read elsewhere about the engine being rough and unrefined. What was your experience?
It's unbelievably loud! You really can't appreciate how bad/loud it is unless you hear it for yourself.
Pontiac Aztek, is that you?!
Wouldn't this be cool with Toyota's 3.5L V6? Yeah I know that's VERY unlikely they would do that again.
I could give a rat's azz about a Toyota Rave4 but I come to all of Tom's videos just to give him a thumbs up even if it is a vehicle I am not interested in. I'm sure the review was great just as they always are.
$39k for a Rav4, that's ridiculous.
They need to upgrade the 4runner tired of seeing the same design and outdated technology!!
Why does VW still making cars?
Crossovers are just station wagons for people who refuse to buy a station wagon. And the crossover, weighs more, cost more, gets worse gas mileage, handles worse. No wonder they are so popular.
"The hybrid has more power".. it's also heavier, so it needs more power.
This speculative comment didn't age well
..Is this 7 seats..??
Bishnu Raut nope
I knew the “evil one” is a cheat.
Every reviewer comments on the RAV4 engine noise. Big turn-off for a $40k small SUV.

The noisy engine won’t hinder sales at all!
Right because many buyers of these don't even thoroughly evaluate all of their options available from the various other brands. They just blindly buy it because it says Toyota.
Jeff M Nope, looked at all my options, coming from a full sized Ram pickup to my first small SUV... yes, engine noise if you accelerate like you’re going for an F1 poll position, however, since this isn’t a sports car, but a suburban commuter, it’s plenty quiet at highway speed or just loafing around town...
Not a Toyota fanboi... after looking at all my options, it was CRV/RAV at the top of the list, not wanting a turbo or CVT transmission made Toyota the last car standing...
How is it noisy! Do you have one! I Have the XSE Hybrid not even loud at all...
For months I was looking forward to buy a new RAV4 2019. Upon hearing many reviews about this vehicle,
I have bought a Mazda CX5 Signature 2019 instead. I was not willing to pay good money for a SUV with a loud engine.
Pete W there is no noise! What are you talking about! I have a 2019 RAV4 XSE Hybrid not even loud! There is no noise!
Test drove the Adventure model last week. So easy on the eyes...but absolute murder on the ears! The engine noise is atrociously bad! Toyota is going to have to find a fix for this abominable design mistake.
Rav4 is much better than the Camry.
2019 engine noise is horrible. I'm concerned about the longevity of this engine.
exactly-- it's us, not the whole planet and all ecosystems, that's at risk, re using the planet the way we've been doing.
Had the new Rav as a rental and while efficient, the new Forester is quieter and rides better. I wish the cup holders had sat a little lower, I don't exactly want to rest my wrist and forearm on my travel mug. My other gripes with the Rav go to Safety Sense 2.0 where adaptive cruise does NOT like stop and go highway traffic, and found their lane keep system annoying compared to Subaru Eyesight. The HVAC buttons are also puny and need better labeling. Oh and god forbid your passenger not have their seatbelt on when you pull out of a parking spot, the RAV doesn't even shut up about it when you come to a stop like others do.
Ни хуя не понятно но так мужик вроде по делу говорит
I had a 2018 as a rental, and it was a horribly boring appliance
aus erfahrung mit meinem rav4 phev (2021) plugin hybrid kann ich sagen technik top, verarbeitung seeeehr schlecht!!!!.
The previous generation look better . Dishlike the new so-called ridiculous masculine line .The new larger console blocks my right knee . My '13 got a better cargo space . Ford is stupid to no longer offer cars in north america but has the merit of having a more aerodynamic Escape
That Toyota does not look like it costs more than 30,000 and it’s looks don’t help, rather get Honda CRV or Mazda
