My preferred choice - despite current COE Hyundai Tucson Plug In Hybrid with AWD 1.6 Turbo - when distributor decides to import for SG market - more from cost point of view followed by design and tech - lower price point + lower road tax + lower fuel consumption + all wheel drive capability
@Sgcarmat thank ypu for your unbiased review. I am actually considering this hev. Pity that my country doesn't have the tucson hev, only the gas 2.0 and diesel. what color is this rav4 btw?
This RAV4 is the top selling car in Australia especially the hybrid variant. The current waiting time if you order one is about 18 months. Is it the same in Singapore?
I had a Prime xse delivered in the exact same color this morning. First thing I noticed. The exterior panels are paper thin. Even the plastic bits are flimsy. Also the infotainment center screen is abysmal resolution. Apple CarPlay is wired! There are ventilated front seats in Prime xse trim.
Comparing to the harrier hybrid that you reviewed, is the rav4’s cvt drone really way worse than the harrier, as you dint mention about it during your harrier review considering it is the same engine and transmission
wait what the actual heck? Rav4 costs around $30k~ in the States. $197k in sing dollar is around $141k USD. that's crazy for a Rav4. Do people even buy it lmao.🤣
To surprise you even further, the car only last 10years because you are required to buy a certificate of car ownership to drive the car for that duration. Right now, that piece of certificate cost $110k. A Mercedes E class cost $300k sgd (inclusive of the cost of a car certificate) which is equivalent to $214k usd. Mercedes is one of the top 3 selling brands and you see mercedes and BMW everywhere on the road in Singapore.
You scrap the car or purchase a new certificate if you want to continue having it. Most will buy a new car then. Singapore is very densely populated that's why cars are so expensive cars because the govt is trying to discourage ownership.
What would be your choice of mid-size SUV? Let us know in the comments, as well as any other car you'd like to see us review!
Kudos for informing us the fuel consumption of this RAV4. That's what hybrid is all about. Bravo Julian!
The drone sound is strange but it's not anywhere as loud as the way shouted. Don't be ridiculous
Saw Julian few days ago at Changi Village having lunch. LOL.
I just keep coming back for the driving scene ❤

No because it costs 200 grand here

It's essentially the exact same car, except with slightly less power. The features and everything else is the same.

@@focus168168 So what happens after 10 years?

@@andromedaaiken2160 Nope...wrong answer. It's expensive to accomodate our ministers super high salaries.
This car failed the Moose test badly. Not sure if Toyota has done anything to stabilize it.
And the best is a Citroen 😊
