Terms like "eCVT" need to vanish. They are an attempt to dumb down HEV and EV tech for an audience perceived as ignorant and unwilling to learn. Actually quite disrespectful by the marketing guys.
*bangs heavily on things* "Yep, it's stout!" Valuable science being done here. Honestly, who else on the internet is as tactile as Sarah when it comes to car reviews? We need more of it.
The Rav 4 is quite common here in Sweden too, but we only get ordinary versions - no specials like TRD Pros or Woodlands or such - and the majority of those I see are driven by well fare workers doing home visits to elderly people... As always an exceptionally great review - and penguin shenanigans before even one minute had past and even as the outro; that is OG fan-service right there! 😉 Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Sad that toyota dont sell the new Camry in Sweden that i want, i have the old generation 2023 its the best car i have ever owned :), and a owned car befor from other manufaktures thet costs almoest twice as mutch.
greeting from saudi Sarah i have a tip for you from desert driver. we lower the tire pressure in dunes from 30 to 15-12 PSI and if its so fine sand we lower the tires to 5 psi and then we fill then back to 12 psi. i suggest you do a video to show people the differance between differant and important tire pressure in outland is .
I'm not an outdoors type, but I could see something like this being dynamite driving in the thick of winter. Your gravel pit test demonstrated that brilliantly. 👍
As a long time Toyota 4Runner owner I looked at the car but opted for the Subaru Forester Wilderness. So far not disappointed, not my 4Runner but I picked up 12 mpg in the process.
12:54 You need more momentum. I've seen trucks with big tires fail on the same kind of terrain. Loose gravel / dirt isn't gonna allow you to get enough traction .. You need get a much longer running start and also look at what is on the other side of that before you do it so you don't launch off a cliff.
Once again, another fantastic review. Two points about your reviews in general, 1 how fast are you going during the brake test and 2 what is a perfect score, 10? Love your stuff and look forward to the next review.
Damn, I’ve been waiting for Sarah to review this model RAV4! I literally Lol when Sarah said, “who the F*** knows how much torque!” Love the color on this vehicle!
If it didn't have Toymotor badges on it, it could easily be a Subaru - same soft-roader vibes... Bonus points for matching your outfit to the review car... colours and materials!
Having knowledge about the vehicle and Having skill to drive properly are the 2 different things. I have taken my 2022 Rav4 hybrid XSE on stock tires for off roading where only 4×4 were recommended and Rav4 make it to top without any difficulty, and here you can't make woodland edition climb to small hill. It shows that it all depends on the drivers more than the car
@@SarahnTuned I was considering a RAV4 TRD Offroad and bought a 2024 Outback Wilderness instead. Lower gas mileage but a lot better performance. I'm putting RalliTEK skid plates, CA Tuned rock sliders and a 20" NovSight light bar in the lower part of the grill in about 2 weeks.
@@SarahnTunedI’m pretty sure with better tires and more speed and you could have cleared it. But the woodland beats the trd in fuel economy. I bought a 2024 woodland and am getting 43mpg. The fact that it can do light off roading is incredible.
The car is green, the skirt is green, the Like button is green. Great review! I hate the way Hybrids sound, this being no exception. The choked-off last dying breaths of a combustion engine with it's tumor of an electric engine attached. "Dynamic Force" Haha!
I like your electric engine tumor :-) they should increase the size of the electric engines and give it more power. I was disappointed in how little power the actually add to the gas engine.
Master Sergeant says: “Don't work tired. Don't work hurt. Don't abuse tools. That's how mistakes are made and accidents happen; and the most valuable tool is you, airman”
You look very nice today as always. I love the colors on the RAV4 on that hybrid. But I am so shocked that the 2 Toyotas you tried to take up the hill climb will not make it. And the Subarus that you have tested, just eats the hill alive. Great review as always till the next one.
Love the review, Sarah you have really over dosed on the tech specs….10 out of 10 for the amount of research and prep’. With the rally section please, please can we have it timed….That would really add to the fun factor. Hope for more on the hill climb….then so disappointed, Toyota RAV4 nil points as an true off roader, more like a soft roader…..brilliant review as always.
"Electricity is blue" 😂 - if you say so Sarah! 😊 That very steep uphill dirt track you tackled - that's for hardcore 4x4's, which the RAV4 is not. Typically traction (read: tyres) is your main problem with that kind of obstacle, with a set of Mattracks fitted almost anything could go up there. As you said at one point, "The tyres make a massive difference" - and that's something many people don't realize. Apparently the RAV4 hybrid has been out-selling the Prius, which is saying something.. thanks for a fun review!
Your editing skills have come a long, long way in a positive direction since the early days of your channel, Sarah. I'm loving the little video-in-video technical popups. very cool!
Honestly Toyota is a hero, the non plug in hybrid is exactly what will sell. Especially since the so called Infrastructure bill failed to deliver any charging stations. This one simply makes its own power and makes owners happy by costing them less 👍👍
Great job as usual Sarah! It looked like a semi full throttle and a longer runup would have had it bounding over the top of that incline. I guess it could get dinged doing that so for your test you'd rather crawl. Since it's relatively low bucks maybe a decent used one with a few mods would make it a better off roader?
...and because this is the Woodland edition, it has a Trail Mode which will simulate a brake-based limited slip differential [which actually simulates a differential-based limited slip differential]. Awesome! 🙃
I figured it out. "Woodland" is a sort of appearance trim. It's like Audi has its "S-line" package that makes a regular A4 look like an S4, or Acura's A-spec that makes a regular TLX look like a TLX Type-S. Similarly, Woodland edition makes a regular RAV4 hybrid look like a RAV4 TRD Off-road, but not even close in off-road capacity. One good thing about this trim, apart from the great looks, is it cames ready for light outdoorsy trips with its accessory mount, all-weather floor mats and cargo liner, and roof rails with cross bars standard.
Morning and thanks for another great review! Although the Versa manual courtesy of yours and other reviews would be my top choice if I had to get something these next couple years.
The rav 4 has come a long way that’s for sure. To get the best regen when decelerating, gently press the brakes - it will use regen only to slow the car down. Once you get familiar with the car, you can tell how far you need to push the brakes to engage the pads. Going to manual mode 1st actually just uses the engine to brake for you.
@ 1:35 Are those the Mitutoyo Digital Calipers that cost upwards of $1,076 or are these the affordable knockoffs? Electricity is blue and hybrid cables are orange ... which means the car is green. Interesting car times we are living in.
That is a very uncommon colour on a rav4. Cloth seats for the win indeed. The range is impressive for something this large and has all terrain tires. 👍🏻 Always enjoy your reviews. 👏🏻
I too am not in the market for a car (other than a Miata someday) and I watch every single one of your reviews because they're so damn fun. Your outfit was extra fun this review because of how it matched perfectly.

Agreed
The Laura Croft x Car Review crossover is the mix I never knew I needed, but I’m glad it’s here!

Love how you never fail to match the car😂❤
Nice eCVT description! So many people rag on hybrids because of CVTs when in fact, hybrids have gearsets, and not chain- or belt-linked CVT pulleys.
Terms like "eCVT" need to vanish. They are an attempt to dumb down HEV and EV tech for an audience perceived as ignorant and unwilling to learn. Actually quite disrespectful by the marketing guys.

Falken wildpeak A/T are a great set of rubber. We run them on our CX5. Very happy with them for on-road and in rain too.
The Toyota OEM Wildpeak A/T are not the same as what you can get aftermarket and are in fact less aggressive with lower traction (B rather than A)
Todella kaunis auto on Toyota RAV4 hybrid .2024 vuosi 💎 ja tv Petri Juhani saarvio 💙 ja minä olen 51 years mies .
Nice, I've been looking at RAV4s
If you don’t plan on climbing 30° dirt cliffs then I recommend the Woodland, otherwise the TRD Off-Road is the better choice for trail use.

These reviews must take a ton of time and research. Thanks for the time and dedication.
Yeah, the stuff they hand out to most journalists to regurgitate is basically a brochure.
I like the colors not the same silver or black wheels. And love the outfit 😍
So, a ECVT is not actually a CVT?
I can see how this will confuse a lot of people. It confused in the beginning but now I know the difference.

Yea people forget the woodland comes with basic all terrain tires, not fully committed off road tires.

@@RRr-yl8zr understand it perfectly in order to charge the battery you have to plug it in otherwise it only runs on ICE!
