Carrying the title of the best-selling vehicle in a company's lineup comes with some pretty big expectations. For #Toyota, that vehicle used to be the Camry for many years... Over the last 5 years, Toyota saw sales of the fourth-generation #RAV4 double to the point of moving over 400,000 units every year. For 2019, the most important vehicle in the lineup gets a revolutionary change with all-new styling inside and out, more technology, more power, more capability, and improved fuel economy especially on the #Rav4Hybrid. It looks like Toyota may have just set the small SUV benchmark even higher for 2019.

I have to say this is by far the best looking RAV4 I've ever seen
Yeah for shure!!!
try one out if you want to be depressed
Henry how was the teeth drive. What did you not like about it?
except for the tablet on the dash.
I hate American classification of cars.
We call this a medium SUV in oz
Am I getting old or are these looking way cooler than they used to?
Terry Shaw nah you’re not getting old, just look at the new Camrys. I never thought I’d want one so badly until I saw the 2018 Camry XSE. Toyota is definitely doing a good job with styling
This is an eyesore imo
@Terry Shaw Both! 😊
@@stevethea5250 The only eyesore is no hood insulation
@@reijivonasuna7199 the new Camry looks better than my Infiniti Q50. I test drove an XSE Camry and I fell in love. I'll consider trading in my Q for one in the coming months, might wait for the 2020 model.
Toyota won't go Turbo because the pressure shortens the lifespan of the engine and its seals. And People buy Toyotas for comfort, efficiency, and reliability. not speed.
I agree. Toyota maintains their legendary reputation for reliability and longevity by building engines capable of 500 horsepower, then de-tuning them to make 250 horsepower. It's a formula that has kept Toyota at the top of the sales charts for decades.
Plus they have no need to make turbos because they are already dominating the markets with their current models. They can if they want but they won’t.
Turbos gunk up the engine with carbon.. and premium gas only.. at least needed to achieve performance numbers.. Mpg and 0 to 60.
let's not forget the legendary 2JZ-GTE and the current V35A-FTS which rumors are coming that will be the engine of the all new Land Cruiser...
Toyota is one of the best brands out there I have a 2001 tundra and I have 247,000 miles and it still is going strong
It looks like a 4runner and Highlander had a baby.
Definitely a window to how the 6th Gen 4Runner will look like...
Those are GREAT PARENTS!!!!!!!!
Not a bad baby tho
That's the point lol. Its their compact.
@Crixus A said a window not a carbon copy haha. Toyota does this all the time. 2020 will tell but the front reminds me of the refreshed 5th Gen 4Runner. And it's no surprise that I like this new-looking RAV4 given that I own a 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail. This is the most aggressive the RAV4 has ever looked. They are getting that look (at least the front end) from the 4Runner.
Looks 100x better than the last model.

Proof we all think differently, The rear and the plastic cladding on the side are just disgusting, The front is perfect but my god they ruined the rest of it.
JrVtec the whole thing is on point, they never ruined it
Finally the older rav 4s front was so ugly so glad it looks meaner
I miss when cars were boxy
But they were gas wasters bad for the environment
@@lancebitoy8912 being boxy doesnt make them bad for the enviornment. she just likes the shape bro.
Then by a box car
@@lancebitoy8912 no need to use slurs. you could have just clarified.
Me too!! Like the honda element before!
Holy shit this is 1000 times nicer than the previous one.
I am confused. That name always meant looking like shit in exchange for reliability.
MrBury74 , 1000 times ? Can give me let’s say 12 off them ?
You may eat your words if you test drive it. Make sure you have ear plugs when driving.
Russell Condie i think that a 3M ear mufflers can do the job
The styling is hidious.
Only a blind person could have designed this.
Go get Lazer eye surgery if you don't agree
Love what Toyota is doing with their products nowadays. The adventure grade is by far the best looking Imo , it's got a bold/aggressive stance with a ruggish look like a Jeep , not necessary a bad thing in this case.
Ya! I love unpainted plastic all over my car.
Toyota knows exactly how to get back into the market.
Lol cvt
@@Lumpia_In_Texas you do realize only the hybrid uses a cvt , right ?
@@emeraldages Hides scratches, dings, etc. Easier and cheaper to replace than delicate painted metal.
This car looks amazing in person..
very true.
Toyota should let the designer of this take a shot at the next prius...
ABIR AHMED the prius has a distinct ugly style but it was never there to look good. The main appeal was fuel efficiency, comfort for passengers and decent boot space
This doesn’t look any better than the current prius...
Toyota said the upcoming Prius in December would have a major design change!
What... and ruin the most beautiful car in the world?
As long as they would be taking a shot at it with a grenade launcher.
whoa matt and sofyan in the same video together... it's like some sort of car review inception
My dad that doesn’t know tech watches a lot of these videos, I appreciate it
Toyota has done an awesome job with the styling of some of their new vehicles like the rav4 and the corolla hatch. Oh yea the Camry is gorgeous too. So glad they haven't gone to turbocharged engines yet!
MaxSpeed Also the new Avalon and Corolla sedan too. Don't forget about them either.
How about that Android Auto?!??!
yeah, the corolla hatch totally looks like a mazda and this rav4 totally looks like a hyundai. they've done a great job improving their weak spot: design. they did it by basically copying styles, but whatever... it's a toyota. all is forgiven
V6 for lyfe!!!!!
Yes agreed !! I have the Nx turbo, and apparently the manual says there is a cool Down period of any where between 20-5O seconds depending on driving . The fuck, I’ve been shutting off my engine after parking the car for over a year now . I’m hoping I didn’t fuck the car too much.
I love the look, it has attitude in the design. Great looking car!
Nice to know I’m not the only one who prefers a regular transmission over CVT. A CVT is honestly a deal breaker for me. I’d highly consider the hybrid of it had the 8 speed.
Best one in my opinion. Paint and sleekness is Lexus like
Bad for Lexus.
Lexus n toyota adik beradik bro...
Lexus-like? What Lexus models have you seen?
White and BIack shoes CIeaan
Hakim Muhammad only thing I don't like about Toyota and Lexus IS they don't have led strip turn signals like on hondas. What year is it?
Looks like a stormtrooper.
ChowDownDetroit [Seoung Lee] lmao, yeah, in white
I wonder if it has terrible aim?
Looks like a XC40
I mean if a car doesn’t hit anything that’s good right?
Means big hit in USA soon then
I love how they both floors the vehicles they review. And u right, most owners will seldom to rarely do this unless needed; however, it is good to know what u working when it’s warrant. Sofyan is one of the few that I am not intimidated when I see 30 plus mins duration. Who am I kidding, 15 mins or more, but with Sofyan, you know u are in good hands with the knowledge and tenacity he brings. I dig it!
This looks so much better than the previous version
Saw red one at the dealership. Black rims with off-road tires. Loaded with black leather and orange trim. 32k. Feels like an suv inside unlike the highlander, which feels like you’re in a car. I really liked this thing.
I purchased a Rav 4 XLE Premium AWD and I absolutely love it. The ride is extremely smooth with the 19” tires and I’m so happy with it. Not gonna lie, it did take me a bit to get use to the louder engine but all the other great things this car OFFERS totally makes up for it.
More collabs! Can we expect something in the near future Sofyan? And congrats on 500k subscribers, very proud of you bro! So many haters out there, continue doing your thang!
Nothing but love from the West coast!

I had a 2006 RAV and loved it! Drove it across country within 2 weeks after I bought it and it was the perfect vehicle for our trip. It was a V-6...yes they made a few V-6 2006 models. I've been holding out for Toyota to make the V-6 RAV again but so far no luck. I lost mine in a car accident in 2015. It was in perfect condition with over 220k and I expected to get at least another 100k if an accident hadn't taken her from me. Mine did have the spare on the back so it had amazing under storage in the cargo area. I'm an avid hiker and could carry all my gear in the under storage along with the usual first aid kit and such, leaving the entire cargo area for every day use. I'm rambling because I loved mine so much. I really like the look of this one but still hoping for a V-6 in the future.
Oh look Toyota took many design cues for the Dash/gauges and chassis design from the 2014 JEEP Cherokee KL. Heck even the back looks like a JEEP had a baby with a Hyundai.
had a 2006 Rav4 as well, Sport Edition! I miss having a 6 disc CD changer in it

Guys, I made a video on how to negotiate the RAV4, and would love your feedback: th-cam.com/video/PQKtWdYcurM/w-d-xo.html
That’s the best looking rav4 I’ve ever seen

That is because the older ones were boring. I have a Highlander and there was no comparison. Although this now looks like a Jeep.
@@rulinghabs The 2006 is the best
Soarer Limited JZZ30 the Rav? Interior is nice. Didn’t like the spare tire in the back. Ruined the looks.

I rented one of these for a road trip. I was impressed with comfort, headroom, interior space and fuel mileage. I drove 2700 miles in 60 hours and just slept in the back at rest stops. It made the trip barrable. Good job Toyota👍
with the seats down, could you fit an air mattress or decent size camp pad?
Yes you can🙂
i hated the old look. this is a huge improvement
I always thought hondas were better but sorry honda toyota is just better and more reliable and the rav 4 beats crv any day!
I sadly have to agree since Honda decided to go mostly with 1.5L turbo engines on civics, accords and CR-Vs.
Best online review I've seen so far for the 2019 RAV4. Very detailed and honest. Too bad about the android auto, just like Apple i think Toyota i starting to get too cocky and ignoring what their customers want
It looks like if the Highlander, Jeep renegade, and the 4 Runner had a baby
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Michael Miller I would say a good thing because how it turns very well
It's a Jeep Cherokee. The profile especially is the same car.
You can tell the Jeep Renegade was the female lol
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise I agree I see a lot of FCA designing here
Like to mention the Hybrid XSE does have the “Panoramic Sunroof” available as an option when choosing the “XSE Tech Package, Dual Pano Moonroof and XSE Cold Weather Package” combo.
bought a 2021 Hybrid XSE AWD RAV4, put a 2" lift on it and Falken Wildpeaks................. LOVE IT!! still getting 35-38 MPG
Toyota's been killin' it lately.
@White Mamba sounds like you're jealous.
@@Eeaotc02 Look, even I'm a Honda guy though. But Toyota is doing a lot of really good stuff lately. So I guess that's saying something.
@@ryanlittleton5615 True. I almost wanted to V6 Camry. It's just too bad it doesn't fit my budget.
@@Eeaotc02 To me the V6 Camry is a little overpriced ($39k) when fully optioned IMO. I still prefer the Accord in that class but that's just me. The new Camry is still an outstanding car.
im honda guy myself too, but i can't consider that Toyota is killing it. the corolla hatch is not near as fun to drive as a civic or even a veloster, and if you show that car with a mazda badge, 99% times people would buy it is a mazda; same with this rav4: totally ripoff of hyundai recent designs. even the infotainment: honda/hyundai had it 2 years before. of course, if i was a toyota guy i wouldn't care at all, but in all fairness it seems that toyota's solution to their overall boring and dull designs, was copying
It does look nice overall. I did rent one for two days and it seems to be under powered when going up hill. I am usually a die hard Toyota fan but if I were in the market I think I would have look at other options before making a decision.
Best rav4 design ever I loved it perfect 👌
Its looks so good in the white and black combo. Like a camry xse!
Matthew Gut and the XSE Camry is sexy
@@Toyota4Life it is indeed. I love toyota!
Except that the Camry XSE has the V6 option
@@Toyota4Life i own one. 2018 xse camby.
I want to see Redline a thank you for this guy who is reviewing the RAV 4. This guy is great very professional. And does an absolutely great review.
That exhaust sounds like a dirtbike...
Pearl white with Beige or Parchment leather is beautiful. Nice color combo. Lovely review 👍
Toyota uses vinyl in the premium RAV4s. Funny sniglet, in the Tundra cloth is standard, and Toyota reduces the price $285 if you choose the work truck option, which only comes in vinyl upholstery. But yes, the Toyota vinyl upholstery is nicer than the Toyota mouse-fur cloth upholstery. The Toyota vinyl never shows wear or gets an odor. The Tundra vinyl came in a beautiful light gray color, woulda been great in the Ruby red RAV4.
plz show the power lift gate closing. its just soo satisfying.
This is a great video. I just got a 2012 Toyota RAV4 Limited Edition and I love the 3.5 L V6 mine came with. Thank you for your great work.
Why is every review about how it's not a race car???? It's not a race car.
because all suv coming out since 2018 are over 300hp and they are fast. toyota need to catch up or get out of the car race. Tesla is as an example
@@ecod7r Go buy a Tesla and good luck~! HAHAHAHAHHAAAA
@@ecod7r When are you able to use all of that hp on a public road lmfao
@@ecod7r You can't compare Toyota with Tesla. I'm doubt if you know how much is a sedan Tesla Model 3, compare to this Rav4 you can get it in Limited trim level while you can get only a base trim level on the Tesla model 3. If you want Tesla SUV, good luck to your wallet.
Some of us like to have get up and go in our cars. It's not about racing but it's nice to pass a few idiots who can't drive on the road.
The body lines remind me so much of the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
Cheap Cherokee is garbage
The Cherokee would take it to school and make it cry.
goyaskippy81 you absolutely right
@@MasonMorris_RadioSaladStudios IF the Cherokee lasted long enough... No actually. Let's consider this very carefully. The RAV has command over this segment but Hyundai will soon be up to the game. If the RAV doesn't kill the Cherokee, the Hyundai will. The only reason the Cherokee drives away from the dealership is because its inexpensive, initially.
But without the crap build quality and poor driving behaviour. Jeep is pure garbage.
i never throught id like a rav4 and youve sold me on this one thinking of buying it hybird to soo dope
RooR CHRISSIE I’m getting more mpg than suggested!
This model by far looks better than the previous one ..( my opinion)
Should called a Toyota Cherokee ,looks very similar but probably more reliable ,will sell good if people don't mind that it's bigger
Just got the Rav 4 Hybrid limited. Was a great overview of the vehicle(s). Keep up the great work.
Damon Broderick what do you think of it?
@@bthojh9849 Great! still on my first tank of gas and i have it @ 34 mpg. The cooled/heated seat come in handy. The 360 camera is great to have.
Probably one of the best looking SUVs in that class imo. Good job Toyota.
If I were a soccer mom with a bad attitude, I'd buy this.
Don't worry, Shit-UVs will eventually die. With the amount of energy these things require to transport their lazy suburban ass from their kids' school to Walmart, we will run out crude oil in no time.
@That Guy From Legendary Axe i wishthey brought back the old body on frame suvs with the spare wheel stuck on the tailgate which were actually meant for off roading... Those were REAL SUVS
Ed Jones well you got one of those things lol
Wow, someone managed to make the RAV4 into a political argument. People are bored.
Lmao, Has that grumpy soccer mom neighbor look right?
As I watch this video I own a 2018 RAV4 I like how they gave this RAV4 a better line of sight at the mirror I wish my 2018 had good move Toyota
I'm hearing a lot of people saying there's transmission issues . I have a 2015 xle no issues. I guess starting 2018 no cvt.
If Toyota makes the rear window go down like the tundra and 4runner, I will trade in my 2015.
Never buy the top model unless you have the big bucks to live, pay mortgage, credit card bill, take vacations, go to the movies (Avengers Endgame). The hybrid looks so awesome in white with the black roof. I'll buy the base model, thank you.
I literally thought those two guys were the same person until they sat right next to each other in the same car. I’ve seen many of their vids and they have so many similarities. It’s kinda cool to see them together.
I want that xse in red interior😍
I personally test drove 2019 RAV4 two weeks ago to buy the XLE-premium trim just to get the blind spot monitoring system. Just few seconds after we started, I got disappointed! The engine noise was so horrible that I asked the dealer guy whether or not we could go back to the dealership right then ! I have no idea why the new RAV4 engine is screaming so loud during the initial acceleration. Also, the driver seat cushion was slightly short for me as a 6’ tall man. On the positive side however, the suspension was great. It could dampen the bumps even better than 2018 Cadillac XT5 I had some experience with earlier. At the end I ended up in another SUV, mainly because of the aforementioned noisy 2.5L engine and slow acceleration. My final word: make sure you test drive it carefully before making up your minds. Don’t spend ~ $ 30k of your money without test driving 2019 RAV4.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Have you tried Mazda cx5 2019?
@@vahidoriany6274 Not really. But, i have heard good news about it!
What suv did you end up buying?
GuerreroXBI Prius
So what did you end up purchasing? I am shopping around and looking.
Interior looks like my 2019 Corolla Hatchback, which I love. Can not wait to get this big brother version.
I'll be getting this one next. It'll be my first SUV/cross over. 😁
This RAV 4 is sick!!! Wow!
I hope that the new Toyota Highlander (2020) will share similar style.
I have never liked the style of the RAV4. This style is awesome! I would look to get this but I need a bigger SUV. That's why I'm waiting for the new model Toyota Highlander to come out.
Proverbs Testament waiting for the new highlander as well!
@@AA24912 can't wait! 🙂
Hopefully.😉
@Ike N nooooooooo!!!!! QX60? NOOOOO!!
You've got to be kidding me. How do you know? Produce your source.
Mazda 5 is even sicker.
Looks nice but it also looks like they completely lifted the design of the Volvo XC40.
@Yuzu Apster I was about to say that. More of a Lexus influence. Especially the back. Looks like the RX
I was thinking the same thing - but the Rav 4 is at a much friendlier price point.
Plus the front end doesn't look ugly as shit like the Lexus does.
I just love that new RAV4 because it does not have a trouble-prone turbo-engine design like the new CR-V has. Also the Toyota has a geared transmission, not a CVT type transmission, that's a huge plus for me.
A gas, XSE V6 trim level would’ve been perfect. Thanks a lot Toyota, now I have to either wait and see if this will be offered in the 2020 models or go weigh my options elsewhere.
I went from a 2010 V6 to a 2017 XLE Hybrid. I test drove both gas and hybrid, and the hybrid has more power and is more superior in terms of acceleration. If you haven’t compared the gas with hybrid personally, I’d recommend giving it a try. Nothing beats the V6 but the hybrid engine was enough of a compromise to win me over.
shellyellyo Hmm, I’ll have to give that a try and compare. Thanks for the suggestion.
Miss the V6
Or.....you buy a 2-3 used one a save money on the depreciation.
@@Brazillianboi69 Toyotas hardly depreciate lol...
If this had the 3.5 in it... what a monster that would be lol

My moms '11 rav4 has the v6 fwd with like 260hp. Now thing is fast...
Tina Young no sorry. I meant the looks
Tina Young 4Runner has a 4L v6
I have the 2007 RAV4 with the 3.5 v6 4wd sport. It is pretty quick for a cross over. 269 horse power gets you going. Do wish the new adventure came with this 3.5 engine.
the look on their faces as they floored it!
Y’all just can’t stop smiling around each other right 😂👀
Sorry for such a stupid question .. but does the hybrid take gas or is it electric ? Does it drive on snow since AWD ?
Both.. hybrid of both gas and electric..The RAV4 Hybrid’s gas engine is complemented by a 118-horsepower electric motor that helps drive the front wheels and at peak can produce 149 pound-feet of torque. Then, when needed, there’s a 54-hp rear motor that kicks in 89 pound-feet of torque. Yes can drive in Snow
Finally a very in depth and thorough test drive review!!! Everyone else on youtube missed by a mile....Thank you so much! Can you test drive the Adventure model for performance thoughts?
The 3rd gen.rav4 v6 will always be the most powerful, beats any 2019 model put together
But not as pretty...
Damnnnn the silver colorway is sick
Just bought one and we absolutely love it. We got this exact model. The blizzard pearl paint is very nice.
bkbrown5881 i did bougth one too but my makes a weird sound when i put it in revers.
Could be normal. I think reverse works off the rear axle and it’s totally electric back there. I have noticed some different noises also. Some of them they went over with us at the dealership.
I miss the old hot rod V6 trims that these used to come in....A new 300hp Rav4 Sport would be nice :D
2021 RAV4 Prime Plug in hybrid over 300hp. 40 miles or more electric range.
I was waiting for Matt to "turn off on this back road right here and see how it does..... teeeeehehehehehehehee!" lol.
Why it doesn't have the projector LED headlights on all trims, but only the hybrid?
I see Redline Review, I see Toyota or Lexus. Like right away. 👍🏻
Much better looking than the current rav4 but then again that doesn't mean much
Rented one! And it was very nice . Was impressed with the sport mode
Great review again, thanks! I am balancing between this (hybrid) and the Subaru Forester. Each has their own strengths.
Adventure Forester me too. Which one did you get ?
I think the new RAV4 will sell very well.
400k sold in 2018, bet half a million in 2019.... next only to Ford F-150 globally...
Its a hybrid design , retro box combined with unibody. Looks really cool!
Love my Rav. Getting the same mileage I was getting on my old compact. Happy to say the least.
There is one thing missing, A V6
@Tina Young there is a reason some people want a v6 in this vehicle. Atleast give us the option to do so.
Tina Young Not everyone wants the three row Highlander or the body on frame 4Runner, or the expensive price tag of a Lexus RX350
Stereo Typist Yes! My mom bought one in 2007. Toyota lost her by doing away with the V6, though I guess they just got her back in a sense with her brand new RX350 Luxury. She didn't want anything without a V6. Lol
Blue Legion I think cause that's the traditional sturdy engine with some power in their minds. Power is also a safety feature really.
I liked the previous generation Highlander much better. The current Highlander front grille is ridiculous. The only way Toyota could make the grille larger is to wrap it up onto the windshield and around the sides. Newsflash Toyota: That little V6 engine doesn't need ALL the air.
We tried this the RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime, Venza, Lexus NX350H and 450h+. Ended up buying the NX350H for my wife.
FML I just bought an LE!! If I waited a few months I would have been able to get the hybrid 😭
You need to be a narrator bro you rock it
Why don't they just make a V6 Rav4 again?
You Like!? Emissions
v6 are less reliable gas killer
Bc the v6 would dust all the sports cars.
Because nobody wants a crossover that gets 18 MPG
@@masternobody1896 wrong. Those 3.5L 2GR V6 are far reliable
Your reviews are AMAZING. They really help to make a decision when getting a new car!
WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY AND ADMITTING YOU PREFER THE GAS ONLY MODEL!
Your voice is smooth, easy flowing and clear. One tip if I may, please stop saying "actually" at almost EVERY sentence. Otherwise, most professional delivery.
Kudos to Toyota for doubling down with 8spd automatics! I will never purchase a Cvt equipped vehicle (excluding Toyota CVTs, of course)😁
What's wrong with the efficiency of the CVT?
Rubber banding was the biggest problem o had with the CVT. Other than that, it worked well and kept the rpms where they were needed.
kai zen: I'm part of the anti-CVT brigade, too. Have to admit, however, that several manufacturers have improved the design significantly in the last few years. I think Toyota has avoided them as a part of their tendency to sacrifice innovation in the interest of reliability. Same applies to Toyota's reluctance to embrace small displacement turbos.
Unreliable except the Toyota ones if u have to get a cvt get a Toyota one
@Stephen Hendricks wholeheartedly in agreement. CVTs have gradually improved. Still, it's hard to shake the stigma that comes along with it.
From Audi and the debacle with it's JATCO CVTs to Nissan's reluctance to acknowledge is problematic CVTs then finally extending the warranty on it's transmissions.
Maybe I'll wait a few generations 😊
Haha i like how you said just outside of San Francisco. Carmel is easily 2 hours away.
The RAV-4 in general has always been a great car in Toyota's lineup. I have a 2017 RAV-4 LE and it's a great car to have. Very reliable, fuel efficient, and overall it lasts a long time. Technology is not the most ground-breaking, at least in the 2017 model, but it gets the job done, and for me, that's all I care about.
Sometimes too much tech leads to a ton of expensive repair costs requiring you to get extended warranties. Technology always breaks or needs to be fixed, and it ain't cheap to fix.
@@acleahcim yeah and the RAV-4 always has tech that is reliable and good to use.
Who else remembers when the RAV4 used to be a compact SUV, this thing is nearly the same size as the 1st gen Highlander!
The first RAV four that I really like. The interior has been largely improved.
I considered the RAV4 hybrid, but the milquetoast performance, especially of it's AWD, sent me over to the CX5 GT-R, with the turbo. Having owned plenty of sports cars, the CX5 with turbo actually makes me smile.
Well,well,well...I knew I had my troubles with Sofyan before but this review was well done.
Tell the CRV to take a hike,RAV4 is here to take over.
Don't think so, CR-V still out sells this.
Andyco79 Look here,for 2019 the CRV will not outsell the RAV4,use your common sense fanboy.
I like the new looks ! Gives you that rhaaawww first impression. Definately beats the current generation CRV to me. Can you show us how it handles in deep snow? I know for sure the new Forester handles very well(they have a deep snow mode) and i want to compare the two. Reliability/safety are the most important thing for a suv.
I can see the genius of Toyota is in this one too. Window, lock control panel on drivers side is tried and true for 20 years and sits on the Tacoma, tundra, 4runner and this rav. Same with the mirror adjustment controls.
Drastic change I'd say from the previous model, but those millions of old Rav 4s will be excellent used cars. although the resale value never drops...ugh!
Omg I saw one with blackrims and dark blue it wad amazing ... looking like range rover
My mother recently brought a 2019 RAV4 and I have to say, I can’t wait to drive it. It has a super safe system, it tells you when you’re out of your lane. Beeps when you drive too close to a car as indication to stop. This is coming from a 15 yo. 😂
But, she has the XLE not the XSE
I hate crossovers but this thing is impressive. It would be awesome if this thing gets the 3.5l v6.
sayem 16.4 unfortunately Toyota has no plans to bring back the 3.5 liter v6 to the RAV4. I wish they would too, I still own a 2007 RAV4 Limited with the v6 and I love its power and acceleration.
The new 2.5 has pretty much the same hp as the old v6
@@Sicktrickintuner not entirely the old V6 has 269 hp, the new 2.5 at about 220. I won't be able to say how much of a difference it will feel to me until i drive the new Hybrid version.
