    In North America, only the AWD version of the Hybrid will be available. The Hybrid utilizes an eCVT transmission, which is VERY different than what a CVT is. Mainly, it’s incredibly simple and reliable. Also, the batteries are under the rear seat, not under the floor.

    For Europe we will get the spare wheel depending on the options. So the batteries do Not interrupt the spare wheel /a big mistake there/. Also it will fit a full size spare. If the car gets a panoramic roof it will probbably not get a spare because of the added weight of the roof, but that does not mean you can not retrofit it as an option/or a spare part, depending on the market/. And the boot has double height, but you can not fit the the privacy cover in the lower height level. And another one - you can flip the boot floor cover /the one you've opened to get to the spare tyre or tyre repair kit/. On the other side it has some kind of plastic that can be cleaned and you can use it when you have to transport dirty items /this one you do have in your vehicle as I saw it/.
    Now on the rearview mirror camera. Probably one of the best solution on the market right now. If you notice there are 3 buttons on the left of the rearview switch. With them you enter a menu and you can move the camera left/right/up or down, zoom, set the brightness and contrast. And is a very good option to have if you really fill up the boot to the top or be very handy to check that trailer.
    All those options and more are market dependable and must be checked carefully.

    When I was growing up in the 90s, I remember seeing the RAV4 with its spare wheel on the back and saying to my parents that we should get one because it’s so cool looking.
    It’s a very different car now. Still quite distinct but not anywhere near as much as before when SUVs weren’t a big thing at all. They were cool and different to me.

    Yet another informative and engaging review from Brian (or Bryan?). As always, your communication is clear and you present with almost no bias, which is refreshing compared to the patronising tone I've viewed from many others.
    The Rav4 wasn't a top choice of mine when considering which new vehicle to get. Its infotainment looked to be the biggest letdown with relatively low quality graphics and slow processing that'd become more frustrating as the vehicle ages.
    However, you emphasised the fundamental traits that I, like many other car buyers, prioritise. E.g. the ergonomics, spaciousness and user-friendliness, especially with the vehicle being easy to maintain. Overall, the Rav4 looks promising as another example of Toyota's reliability. I'm now seriously considering this as my next purchase.
    Thank you again Brian (or was it Bryan?). I look forward to another great review from yourself!

    I test drove one a few days ago and i was very impressed with the comfort, feel and the economy. The car had a premium feel to the drive but the infotainment system is stuck in the dark ages. Overall the car was very impressive and returned 55 mpg with a mix of town and motorway driving (uk Gallon). i would recommend going for the excel trim or above as the design trim lacks in comfort.
    I would love Toyota to sort out there infotainment system, as they are really behind the competition in that area.

    We have just bought a 2020 Rav4, and there's only the two of us. You don't need to have the analogue speedo display.
    Ours has a spare wheel, I believe they all do now. The Rav4 is going to be far more reliable than any German car.
    Make sure the Cam Bus security plate is fitted behind the headlight. As in the US, all Rav4's now come with AWD.
    The car will usually only stay in pure electric mode, up to about 15mph if it's the same as the Yaris.

    • @Lucky8s
      @Lucky8s 5 років тому

      I test drove one about a month ago. Overall, visibility is very good compared to all other competitors. Toyota made a very smart choice to place the mirrors on the body and create that little window beneath the A pillar as it actually does noticeably improve visibility. Similarly, the rear window cut out is appreciated. I wasn't a fan of the hood though. It's quite wide (some competitors are more curved) and I had difficulty determining where the edges of the car was when parking, though I do think it's something that gets better once you drive it more.

      Indeed, its not being picky at all. Car is supposed to last for many years. Things like that can cause early corrosion, especially when living in places with lots of water, dirt and snow. I've ruined my first car by ignoring water in similar place (it was badly placed rubber below doors that gathered dirt and water in Zafira B, fixed in later models), which led to rust. Toyota designers should know better than make such silly mistakes.

I've been looking hard for a deep seat but generally it's the likes of Mercedes and audi have the extendable thigh support (don't like either brand). Thanks

    The plastic wheel well thing doesn't bother me at all. I'm very impressed with Toyota's recent designs. The Prius Prime is just awesome and the new 2019 Rav4 is a knock out! It's great to see when auto makers finally take some risks and get stylish, especially with lower priced vehicles. I lived through the rounded boring edges of the '90's so I'm very happy to see Toyota creating such great designs!

    I like Brian's laid-back personality and the amount of information that he packs into the review. Lovely SUV. Oh no! No spare! And on something that may go into the backwoods! I suppose that it has ridiculously expensive run flat tires. I guess Toyota's brilliant engineers had to make compromises to fit the electric motor in the rear, but that may kill the deal for me.

    Here's cool tip which I think it would be interesting to check in the car. it works in a new Corolla wagon so it should be working in RAV4 as well- the floor cover in a trunk can be removed and flipped over so now you can have durable surface where you can put dirty stuff on.

I believe there are more different packages for the XSE in the US. Just go into the Toyota USA website (I've been in there several times myself checking out the differences) I've been on those websites so many times, watching every UA-cam ever made on the Rav4 hybrid and checking out the Toyota dealer lot every week for the last 2 years..... this is how I boiled it down to the XSE with Technology & I really like the Blizzard Pearl with Black Roof.

    Interesting thing car styling. At the start of the review I really didn't like the look of that car, and I've seen one in the metal; by the end I was thinking, "Yeah, that looks really good."
    I sat in one at a local showroom and I have to say the quality of the thing was pretty good, nice and solid. Soft feel materials where they should be and the 'cheap' hard plastics also where they should be; some thought has obviously gone into this, whilst allowing for the inevitable build cost constraints.
    By all accounts a comfy ride too. I was pleasently surprised.

    The new RAV4 comes STANDARD with outstanding safety features. You barely mentioned theMPG, if at all. 39 MPG (USA) combined!!! There are much more interesting color combinations available, both inside and out. Legendary Toyota reliability. For me the design is a huge leap forward too, but that's subjective of course. No one is cross-shopping this with a Porsche Macan. It's a fantastic affordable family car and with the new hybrid's MPG, I think it's an excellent choice for many families. I'm considering one myself. I have a Lexus ES300h that has been an amazing car to daily drive.

      Real world MPG will be more like 32-33mpg if you stay away from the highways. 24-26 mpg at 130-140kph is more likely. Europeans drive faster and accelerate harder.
      Toyota's reliability is mostly a legend, it dropped significantly in recent years and Toyota dealerships do everything to hide it (if they need to tow one they put a cover on it so people won't see the brand). They rust quickly, brakes wear out quickly, everything behind the panels is cheap and hollow (multiple electronic glitches, freezing reflectors, steaming up safety system sensors/cameras, unreliable satnavs, basic 1.4 and 1.6 gasoline engines don't last long, multiple recalls and much more), they don't even paint the body panels in places you can't see from the outside. What you didn't mention is that Toyotas are very expensive to maintain in Europe, spare parts and all the checkups cost a lot of money. Car itself isn't all that affordable, new RAV4 comes in high trims only and it's one of the most expensive crossovers in its segment (with niether Android Auto or Apple CarPlay!). And it's just butt ugly from the outside.

      There are still plenty of Mercs as taxis, Prius is a plastic wheelbarrow for low cost transportation thanks to its low fuel consuption (and city centre allowances, tax rebates). It's not a real competition because it's a completely different, much less comfortable car.
      Toyota speds quite a lot of money to look good in those statistics for example they secretly do some repairs during scheduled maintenance, they have good assistance service which is ordered to cover the vehicle if it has to be towed because they don't want anyone to see Toyota being towed.

    I agree with the plastic wheel covers not meeting around the corners - strange design decision and will keep the rain. I do like plastic bodywork covers and I could have a personalised trim with more plastic as I use the car in nature :)
    You are fine with the plastic inside that is easy to clean. I have a dog and do mostly road trips to the mountains and I clean all the mud, coffee and bits of food from over the place. I care comfort, not leather or hard plastics. I have been in all leather interiors that were just uncomfortable and in base Kia Ceed that was amazing on the 6h drive.
    I have seen a spare wheel in RAV4 hybrid on YT. I think it might depend on the eAWD. I might write nonsense as well. On was just below the main cover and the other under the battery - sort of.
    If anyone from T. reads it - good job. Please give me an option with ventilated seats but no leather as it is hot where I live but I do not care about leather. The car looks utilitarian and is usable and I hope the price point in Japan will be good.
