- The Toyota RAV4 is all new for 2019. Under the hood of the redesigned sheet metal is a 2.5L inline-4 producing 203HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic. On the inside there has been a huge upgrade in materials and lots of new technology to keep you save. Is the 2019 Toyota RAV4 an improvement over the previous generation or just the same?

oh my god Joe great job n we are almost there to 100,000subs like I've said ur the best TH-cam's channel out there and god bless you both
I love your reviews man I agree with almost everything you say in every video
Super in depth too!
That really awesome of you to say! I really appreciate it!
i really wish they would bring back the v6, i drove a 2012 rav4 v6 limited and that thing was a BEAST.
Thank your for input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
That's a great SUV Joe . Very reliable and really nice changes for 2019 .
Thanks for letting em share it with you! I appreciate your input!
Nice car and great review, i like the camera now coz no loss of focus anymore, tnx for fixing that. I prefer if you include some separate close up shots of some of the interior details and sync it with your voice for better view of the parts.
Thanks for your continued feedback! I appreciate you watching!
Nice review Joe, keep them coming.
Thanks that really means a lot!
I’ll take the XSE in white with the black roof 😍
Me too! I just wished they offered the 360 degree camera with the XSE.
That would make it better!
I wish they had put the digital rearview camera in the XLE trim. Good review man! Will you do the hybrid next?
Hybrid is coming next! Thanks for the compliment!
I believe the new Rav4 is a winner and should be midsized crossover SUV of the year. Looks are subjective. I like the styling. It matches the general styling traits of the new TNGA platform Toyotas, and the 4Runner and Tacoma pickup.
In Hawai'i the Tacoma and 4Runner are extremely popular, and has been for ages for everyday people, surfers and other outdoor recreational enthusiasts, and the 4Runner is certified for police use as a subsidized private vehicles for senior patrol officers. But the Rav4 ? The Rav4 is all that, in a rugged smaller package, capable of many things other places do. The overall styling is fine with me. The previous ones were pretty nice, though it does not thrill everyone else.
Props to manufacturers that make heavy duty vehicles in a smaller package with reliability, durability, and efficient use of space inside.
The infotainment is nice, though not the latest. Android Auto confirmed on the TRD version for 2020.
I think you hit the nail on the head!
Great review Joe ! My brother has a RAV4, its about 10 years old. He loves it, you cant beat toyota reliability ! 2 months ago i bought a 2013 Lexus ES350 with only 30,009 miles and i Absolutey love it !!
Dont think toyota makes the RAV4 with a V6 anymore ? Definitely would be my choice !!
Thanks Stephen for sharing that ownership experience! You are so right there is no longer a V6 option.
I want the adventure if I want to go off road and an off road rugged vehicle or the rav4 prime if I want an ev performance from 0-60 and luxury.
My wife has a ‘19 limited. All wheel drive with torque vectoring. We are having a problem with the front differential making a groaning sound. Toyota is aware of the problem but doesn’t have a fix for it yet other than to switch to sport mode, then the groan/ grinding noise goes away. Apparently it only affects the limited and adventure awd units.
I am so sorry to hear about the issues you guys are having! I hope you get it sorted out.
Raiti's Rides its a Toyota! If anyone can handle it...........
Raiti, I see some rav4s near me that have a panoramic roof look which I think makes it look exceptionally sharp. Is that look available on xle or just xse trim? I appreciate any info you may be able to provide and love the videos!
XLE as well!
Great video. Would you be able to do a review on the Hybrid XSE trim? And may be let me know why is it so hard to get my hands on one here in long island NY. Thank you
Smithtown Toyota had some or go out to PA Kotch33 Toyota. Good luck.
I will be bringing that to you!
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Successful redesign. The look of previous incarnation alienated most males. This redesign definitely takes styling cues from the 4 Runner which is a good thing. I am considering purchasing one. The only drawback for me is... so is everybody else.
Love the Advanture face the best, rest of the models front grill look sad.
I totally agree with you!
How's the 8-speed Transmission doing ? Any jerking motions at low speeds like many people are experiencing !!!
It's actually pretty smooth.
Raiti's Rides bs
Rati's Rides great review. Toyota rav4 is the most reliable SUV in the world . The rav4 alone sold more vehicles last year than all of Mazda lineup . People buy them cause they know it's reliable. And Rati's Rides good to see you got into a Toyota dealer . Keep up The good work .
All the haters on here can't afford it lol ! Damn trolls.
Thanks for your great input and perspective! I really appreciate you being part of the Raiti's Rides family! Hard work pays off! ;-)
There are always going to be haters!
I love my 2019 XLE !
Awesome review, Joe!
Something about how the wheels fill the wheel wells seems off to me. Idk. As much as people say about how great it is, it seems a little off
I agree! Every time I see one I stare at it like what's the deal here? It looks like a cheap knock off version of what it used to be or should be.
I totally agree with you!
Same here!
It's not hard to make a killer design. Idk why companies that can make the telluride and the new Highlander make stuff like this. I never understand how companies can't make upscale design inside and out, especially Toyota. Honda, mazda, Kia, Hyundai, all have nice, upscale design.
Of Course 👍
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
Will you give us an update when you will buy the WRX?
I like your confidence lol
When you WILL buy it
1:23 Fact about joe !!
When will you a Review of the 2019 Rav4 Hybrid with the 2 Tone paint Job? It's supposed to have more Horsepower and better MPG then the Gas Models. Please let me know, Thanks for your Great Videos.
I will be getting my hands on one! Stay tuned!
Which is better the Rav4 or the CRV ?
I'm going CR-V
I heard these modern RAV4 aren't reliable because of the cvt. Is the old one better?
CVTs are crap. But for the average city driver you won't experience anything. Most of the problems are from offroading and driving it hard
Only the hybrids have the CVT with the 2019. The others have a regular automatic transmission. 8 speed I think.
I have a regular RAV4 and it’s an 8 speed automatic
These do not have CVTs for 2019.
Very true.
5:55 what happened to the cameraman 💀
Just drove one last weekend. Love the look. I have a 2016 RAV4, the two things that turned me off was the engine sound and power. The 2019 sounds like an airplane landing. The power was not there, with my foot to the floor, it slowly accelerated. My 2016 176 HP felt way faster and is much quieter. If Toyota can fix those two issues I would trade in, but for now I don’t see spending the money.
Kevin H test drive the hybrid! Faster and has a good blanket! It has 219 hp 16 more than gas model.
Kevin H it’s also very quiet just like a Lexus.
I love mine and don’t have an issue with it but I did also come from a sluggish Ford Escape so I wouldn’t have been able to tell
No Name I’m sure your loving it more than your Ford Escape! What trim did you get? Did you get a hybrid?
Justin Xu. No i didn’t get a hybrid but it is very smooth and quick in my opinion especially in sport mode
Is the seat is real leather or leatherette ?
Leatherette-it wears better that way
I’m trading in my 2015 in a year or 2 for the 2019 model
Congrats! You will love it!
As much as I like it, i really don't like how SUVs nowadays are trying to be sporty and rugged, I see no reason for a sport mode and extremely rugged styling, if its not a performance/off-road-oriented SUV, there is no need for a sport mode and over the top styling (Just more added expense). However, the interior has me impressed, simple and functional.
Very good points Nick!
They aren't working together on purpose.
Toyota bought GMs 16.5%ish stake in FHI, subies parent company.
So there's that...
do a crv vs rav4 video
I agree. I'm curious what you think of the matchup, Joe.
The RAV4 is better since it offers hybrid that Honda doesn’t have also its faster
Justin Xu its not tho lol, all the reviews ive seen they say the rav4 is weak and the crvis alot faster
Strawberry Kisses you can’t just trust reviews. You have to test drive a car in person. The Hybrid makes 219 Hp. The gas mode makes 203 hp. The CRV doesn’t even make that much. The hybrid is also great option for the shocking mpg!
I will get that together!
Good
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Toyota’s are good vehicles but I like the new Honda Passport better. Good review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
The Passport is nice, but it's bigger. Both expensive with all the goodies. IMHO you can't lose with either one, especially if you get the fully loaded Passport Elite, or the 2020 Rav4 TRD when it comes out later this year. The TRD is not a rock crawler like the Tacoma & 4Runner TRD Pro models, but, it can go off road high speed without killing the suspension like many and most heavy duty factory off road trucks and SUVs would.
Very good input!
It will be interesting to see how this all pans out!
Crv or rav4?
I am going CR-V
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. Really enjoy your videos.
RAV4, since it offers a hybrid which the Honda doesn’t have. Also the Honda doesn’t have a panoramic sunroof...it’s also very loud and not fast.
Why is an 8-speed better than a CVT? I get that traditional transmissions are what we're all hard-wired to be used to. But some of the modern CVTs (Honda) are really smooth and do a great job making sure the engine is where it needs to be for response, economy, and performance when needed.
Two things.
1 having the Rpm stay the same when accelerating creates a drone. Lots of manufacturer's have created artificial "gears" or steps to mimic gear changes.
2. Durability CVts have a reputation of not being very durable especially when on heavier vehicles. Nissan cvts have a very bad reputation
@@temur72
I test drove the RAV4 Hybrid and CR-V both with a CVT and they were very smooth. 0-100 was quick and the CVT never went over 4k rpm. Reviewers revving the car at max is not representative of how normal people drive.
@@Lucky8s
I know they can be very smooth my wife's accord has one
@@Lucky8s The CVTs on Toyotas and especially the new CVT has had good reviews. They are made by in house subsidiaries, Toyota's transmission company is called Aisin, where as the Jatco transmissions from Nissan that are in many other brands of vehicles have the absolute worse history or failing.
Very good question!
My dream car in red please.
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
@@RaitisRides ohhhh yes! me too!
Cool
That plastics cladding on wheel wells ugh, and it is sitting too high, easier to roll over. Toyota, love em, but this wanna be off-road compact CUV, is not par for my money. Not terrible by any means, just not the one.
I appreciate your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
The knobs for the climate controls 👀 like boobs lol. I think tho the best looking trim is the XSE Hybrid but wish it offered the options of the limited, also for the price no leather??? Makes no sense.
Real leather seats and Reliability are not two things that go together. That's why they have the Softex "Leatherette" material. Feels better and lasts longer.
That is one of the most interesting analogies ever!
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Raiti's Rides lol I can’t be the only person who thought the same thing or perhaps I am
Now I cant unsee it 🤣🤣🤣
The new RAV4 is better-looking, and bigger, than the previous edition, and I like the athletic look. But, I still prefer the elegant style, premium interior, and refined driving dynamics of the Mazda CX-5.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
This is one suv i would never buy every one of my family member have it
It isn't for everyone!
Only in the Hybrid version!
Can anyone remember this from a certain video
"You can take the rav if that has value"
I think I've heard that somewhere!
Toyotaxi CUV
I see what you did there!
👍video👍
Thanks Jin for always watching!
The Rav4 sure has come a long way...I used to make fun of these things because they were butt ugly and had no power. The name still makes me think crappy SUV , but it definitely has been improved since the mid 90's.
Great input!
@@RaitisRides Thanks man! I appreciate that.
😗😗
First!!!
You are the man!
First
Thank you sir! You are a great person!
This is an ugly design, the previous gen looked better and it was not a pretty vehicle.
U crazy or high ? This one looks better by far. Besides u can't please everyone. Half the people bitchin cant even afford it.
@@RomaneMaticaliseGordon 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
No it isn't. The Forester offers more for the money.
Eduardo Albuerme alot of ppl dont want subarus because of the rep
The CVT
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
That is a good point!
Yeah Subarus have that CVT.
This car is ugly AF. I hate to see them 🤮
This car is "as fuck"? What does that even mean?
I think it looks good, the last one was decent looking
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I totally agree!
It is a little extreme.
First
Thanks for your awesome dedication!
@@RaitisRides You got it brother! My pleasure! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
