- The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid-yes, the hybrid-is the most fun RAV4 you can buy.

Gone are the days of egg-shaped RAV4s. Gone are the smooth curves and gentle lines. The new RAV4 means business. This is family-friendly crossover looks more like an off-road-ready 4Runner than an entry into the carpool club. And, amazingly, opting for the hybrid version of this storied model doesn’t dilute the car’s attitude. It just makes it better.
The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine in the RAV4 Hybrid operates on an Atkinson cycle-not something typically synonymous with performance-but its dual electric motors and 1.6-kilowatt battery work with the I4 to deliver 219 horsepower. With electronically varying torque, the RAV4 Hybrid is quick off the line, quiet on the highway, and impressively fuel-efficient. Expect up to 41 miles per gallon city, 38 highway, and 40 combined.
Space is impressive, too. The RAV4 Hybrid doesn’t cede cargo space, providing 37.5 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 70 cubes when that seat is folded. Toyota’s tech offering still pushes Entune 3.0, although Apple CarPlay is finally available, and as standard equipment. Unfortunately, Android Auto still does not run on this infotainment system.
Toyota Safety Sense comes standard, featuring forward emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, and other advanced safety features. Pricing is reasonable, too. $27,850 plus a $1,095 destination fee will buy you a base-spec RAV4 Hybrid. The top-tier trim comes in at $35,850, and CarGurus’ Recommended Trim-the cool-looking XSE-costs $35,320 when equipped with the XSE Cold Weather Package.

I didn't knew sir Issac Newton was into cars!
Nice to see Pauly Shore is still keeping busy
Bro i laughed so hard at this hahaha
Lol
So sad the younger viewers won’t get the joke.
Hes definitely been working on his tanage
@@robertb.4202 yes only us old farts know who Paula Shore is..lol
Looks really good. I'll consider this for my next car.
I have THAT XSE! It’s such an amazing car
In Europe they call XSE trim "Style" and they do not offer neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto
One important safety feature is the tyre pressure displayed on the screen which this car doesn't have . Some of the smaller cars have them these days.
40 MPG Hybrid Electric,. Hello my used Japanese RAV 4 Toyota Resell Value says it.. love it..
For almost $40K?! My 2018 Regal TourX sees almost 40 mpg at 65 mph with a 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD and 295 lb-ft of torque.
Toyota needs to stop dumbing down their AWD systems as they are the worst today at sending only 50% power to the rear wheels.

Are you subscribed to every car channel just so you can hate on anything that isn't a Buick lmao. Get a life.
@@Lucky8s Toyota Hybrids do not stand out on the efficiency front anymore. You can get more of a car and almost Hybrid fuel economy for much less
@@normt5463
Cars are certainly becoming more fuel efficient, but there is no gas only car that is equivalent in size and is able to match the hybrid RAV4s fuel economy. There's lots of things you can do to get better mileage (such as hypermiling), but any car can do that, and that's why some Prius owners can get over 100 mpg. Toyota remains one of few automakers to do hybrids and their hybrid reliability is exceptional.
@@normt5463 40 mpg my ass
I love my XSE! 44 miles per gallon!
White and Black roof!!
I have exactly this Rav 4 car spec on order. It will arrive around december as 2022 model year. It contains both Android auto and Apple carplay.
I chose the LE. It has soo much for a base model.
None other than John Davis of MotorWeek has called out the problem. In an email to AN, Davis said, “On highway trips, when the gas gauge reads between 1/8-1/4, it will take about 9-9.5 gallons max in a fill-up. At that point the gas gauge reads nearly full, but just barely.”
I have a Rav4 hybrid LE and I love it. I had a 2013 Corolla S and although I loved it, this thing soundly beats that in every category except for price. I wanted to get the Limited, but it was sadly out of my price range.
So tell me, does the hybrid battery ever go dead? Is it ONLY charged by braking? And if it goes dead, then it's not in AWD mode--correct? Many thanks... Mr DJ of Cat N Mr DJ - Filipina American Vloggers...
@@CatNMrDJ: I don't think it can go completely dead, I have never seen it happen.
Cheng Liu Thank you.
@@CatNMrDJ
The hybrid battery will never run out. As soon as it reaches 20%, the engine will be forced to run to charge the battery. It's charged two ways, via the engine and via the regenerative braking system.
@@Lucky8s Kool Beans, thank you for that info... ...think I'm gonna hit the 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid...and the only reason is, the Rav 4 has it Infotainment System sticking up on the dash--I hate that crap... Mr DJ...
Yes indeed. It’s a very nice vehicle. I bought mine 14 days ago. I got a hybrid limited. Drove 425 miles before I refuel the gas for the first time. It’s very sleek. Couldn’t hear the engine when I turn on car.
Thank you for the detailed review. . Great information. I bought the exact same one you had on the video. I love it.
couldn't stand all the prone chipping glossy plastics on the XSE, so went for an XLE (matte plastic bumpers) with all the packages... only thing lacking is I don't have the full-size 8" display... 7" is more matte and superior in my opinion ( I would have appreciated the JBL stereo on the 8" though). Overall, awesome compact crossover that a very flexible do it all family vehicle for an active lifestyle.
Maybe Scotty Kilmer Will buy one of these...
Maximus Orion he is not going to buy any new car! Even Toyota!
Remember he hates cvts :)
Nice place where is it?
No panoramic sunroof in Canada? So lame! Went and test drove one the other day. Liked it more than the Subaru crosstrek I tested but it is a bit heavy on price and the dealer said no deals since they’re in demand:(
Why would you need panoramic sunroof? It gets too hot inside.
It's not available in Canada, even as an option, since the Woodstock, Ontario plant doesn't have it as a build option.
The RAV4 Prime does have the pano sunroof, HUD, and adaptive headlights as options because the RAV4 Prime isn't built in Canada.
Great review, Clifford! I really like what Toyota has done to the RAV4, but is it true that there’s no mechanical connection powering the rear tires, it’s strictly electric power? Since this is only a hybrid and not a PHEV, it’s easy to run down the small battery while driving up to the ski slopes and only be left with front wheel drive?
Subaru has kept their drive shaft on their new hybrid model, because they never wanted to loose their all wheel drive.
yes it is true that there's only a wire connection to the rear axle in electric motor, but even if the battery is depleted, the power split device with its electric generator can power the electric motor in the rear on demand.
@@Thissandthat That's fantastic! What a great system! I would definitely buy one of those!
@@mitchellbarnow1709 it only sends 50% rearward and will not spin thr rear tires when the front spins it is so weak.
Norm T No wonder Subaru kept their driveshaft!
Winner winner rav4 dinner
Love my 2019 RAV4 hybrid. But they have issue, only fill up gas 80% go to slonae Toyota Check it out, they say it’s normal design like that. So bad hopefully Toyota fix that.
Do you guys think this is a good practical car for a 24 year old single dude? I feel like it is, but everyone wants to have a truck or somethin..
If you would be a ten percenter (only use the truck for its intended purpose ten percent or less of the time) then I think this is a great alternative over a truck. And depending on the truck you get, you'll probably spend more on the overall price tag of a new truck, along with more on gas. And don't buy something, especially something that will put you years into debt, just because everyone else is doing it.
Why does Everyone Making Test Drive Videos of the Rav4 XSE and Not the Limited which is by Far Superior? Who cares about Black Rims and a Black Roof.
Because the XSE looks much better than the Limited, which easily blends in with the LE and XLE if you're not paying attention.
I have the same t-shirt
I have had my 2019 RAV4 XLE Hybrid for almost 2 weeks now. Sadly it has not been an Exactly happy experience.
Oh don’t get me wrong in general it is a good car, BUT.
Toyota does not make it easy to either decide on which model and options to get OR to understand EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GETTING.
There are about 11 different models with several option packages, even trying to decipher if you get a GPS Navigation System IS NOT EASY.
Does Scout GPS Link sound like a GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM? WELL IT IS NOT.
I am STILL trying to understand it, what I do know is that WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE AND A HEALTHY DATA PLAN THERE IS NO NAVIGATION.
THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLY CONFUSING AND THE DEALERSHIP SEEMED EVEN MORE CONFUSED THAN ME.
The driver instrument display is less than DESIRABLE, I am talking about the instrument display in front of the driver, NOT the large centrally mounted display. In bright sunlight the display is almost IMPOSSIBLE TO READ, it seems to be DIM and in shadow even with the illumination turned right up.
It is necessary to REALLY CONCENTRATE on the display BUT THIS TAKES FAR TO MUCH TIME AND IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER.
When I returned home and drove into the garage the display was VERY BRIGHT AND READABLE, so I suppose that if I confine my driving to TOURING my garage I should have no problems.
There many other annoyances that I am not happy with.
For instance, the START BUTTON, when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position the horizontal spoke of the steering wheel make the button INVISIBLE.
A small ANNOYANCE but DIDN’T THE DESIGN ENGINEER ACTUALLY SIT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND SAY “WHOOPS WHERE IS THE START BUTTON”?
On a lighter note, I have driven about 200 miles and the average MPG has risen from 18 MPG to about 35 MPG, and is still rising, VERY GOOD.
The Cruise Control that ensures that you follow other cars safely is TERRIFIC, I was following another car at 70 MPH when the car slowed to take an exit ramp. My car slowed AUTOMATICALLY until the car ahead moved off to the right then my car accelerated AUTOMATICALLY back to 70 MPH, WOW.
However the Steering Assist feature is STRANGE, it seems as if you are constantly FIGHTING IT.
I am unsure about the RAV, right now I sort of wish I had spent the extra 8 to 10k on a new Acura RDX.
I traded in a 2013 RDX with 48k miles on it, it was a terrific car, so WHY trade it? The short answer is BECAUSE I COULD.
Yes the steering assist is annoying. You should turn it off.
The RAV4 came out in 1994 not 1996.
So, since I don't have an I-Phone I'm SOL??
Gregory Nofsker yes, get an iPhone
@@esparzaantonio1 Yes, just skip this vehicle for Android users. Plenty of better choices today.
Toyota is bringing Android Auto soon and has confirmed that it can be retrofitted onto existing 19 RAV4s. If AA is a big deal, I think you'd fine more closure on a car that already offers it
@@Lucky8s Android Auto...soon...Toyota....
@@normt5463
You're getting there grandpa. Yes, take each of those words in slowly. Don't hurt yourself.
Those shorts make me wanna squash a bug
Be cheap buy the LE Hybrid.
Oh... Thought the hybrid was automatic transmission...
It's an eCVT which is better than a regular CVT. Uses planetary gears instead of rubber
Ok , now you made me don't choose this
Why
to much wind inside the car
I have the XSE no wind noise!
Skip to 1:26
I still thought it was a girl before I upped the volume.
The white socks 🙄
Change your socks
No Android auto, so this is a no go. Looks great, but that's a deal breaker.
The 2020 has it
Jesus, it even has no rear view camera?! LOL! What a tech!
FYI, all new 2019 cars have a backup camera. Nice try tho.
Why didn’t he use it if what you say is true? Or are you just a stupid troll? :)
It's true, since 2018. You're the troll here
Get lost stupid :)
@@aammssaamm it's true, you can even flip a button on the rear view mirror to show the view on it from the rear camera. Not sure why he didn't talk about it, but it's mentioned in almost all other reviews of this car
$38,000...???? I don't think so!
John Doe I think so
It’s also the highest trim.....
CVT for 40k, yikes.
beefchuck ECVT

E-CVT!!!
the non hybrid have transmission problems out the door
eCVT uses planetary gears and electric motors instead of a belt that wears out like a CVT. Similar in name only
Ha ha ha ha ha ha haha
And you lost my attention at CVT... (sigh) Nope.
GrandeMage it’s an e-cvt workes different to a regular CVT and btw Toyota’s CVTS are reliable asf the Corollas uses a CVT and they don’t break down at all so its not bad actually
GrandeMage ECVT

And yet... still don’t care lol
@@piyush6089 the 8 speed AWD has problems out the door
Lots of issues in this car:
th-cam.com/video/okZb_-NbIC8/w-d-xo.html
Just too big for my taste. Why are they making cars bigger?? Not all of us have kids. I’m single who takes my elderly parents around at times.
Get a Prius then
sinister nightmare Prius is too darn low That’s a bad thing for me. I will be bottoming out all the time in my area how these streets are. I have a Jeep renegade trailhawk. Perfect size and height. Just wish it was a hybrid. Keep that in mind auto industry
@@Catman1798 rav4 is the highest selling non-truck vehicle in USA. im pretty sure they know exactly what theyre doing. you are a niche customer and shouldn't expect them to cater to you
How is it too big????
Similar size to Honda Accord. Not that big
*Is it a PLUG IN HYBRID to enable you to charge it up on cheap Electricity overnight, and drive say up to 30 miles on EV Mode ? - I thought not so at **4:30** when you stated you had been averaging 36 mph - Get real in my Mercedes B200 CDi AMG I regularly achieve 60 MPG+ and best of 74.3 and top speed of 143 mph and loads of lovely cash cheaper than this CON TRICK.*
What about pollution bro?? I think cdi is diesel..and purpose of hybrid cars is to stop using diesel
@@karthikburli3052 *On recent exhaust test reported **_"Emissions to low to register"_** Mercedes bringing out soon Diesel Plug in Hybrid 'B' Class, already available in 'E' class in Europe*
@@GrrMeister But the odds of buying a diesel plug in will be less..plus Americans and most of the world doesn't have faith in European cars due to their low reliability
Avoid the hybrid... way too many problems with it... I can't even fill the gas tank completely due to a major problem with evap system. My car is a 2019 XSE trim, same issue with the 2020, and toyota is just giving lip service. Google Rav4 fuel tank issue for more info... look at the CarGurus website for all the complaints...
The fact that you think this is in the same family as the Tacoma and 4runner made give it a thumb down and stop watching this video at 1:23. This is a Glorified crossover. I drove it. I love toyota but it's stuck in mud feel and bipolar transmission that's constantly fishing for the right gear is a joke. And at $33,000 starting, which is more like 40k! . It's incredibly overpriced. 219 horse power. That's not 2019 horsepower to the wheel, it's to the fly wheel, meaning your' looking at 198 whp. No locking diff, no real off road features. 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. which is a little faster than Honda CRV at 9 seconds.
Lol transmission fishing for a gear…. Lol it’s a one speed transmission.
