Best SUV on the market? 2020 Toyota RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid review and road test

Is a waiting list justified for the 2019/2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid? Yes, absolutely. We recently crowned it the best medium-sized SUV on sale at the moment, and outside of a few minor gripes, it's an incredibly good car that provides outstanding value for money.

I hated the old Rav 4. This new one looks great and having the hybrid option available at a reasonable price is great. Toyota is finally making some great cars again.

US & UK auto journalists: "Boring Toyota, not fast, not sporty, doesn't handle like sports car, doesn't sound like a V10."

Aussie auto journalist: *Understands the purpose of this car and appreciates a decent-looking, efficient, reliable car*

4.8L/100km if I drive like an old church lady
5.1 L / 100 km if I keep speed low and don’t accelerate too fast
5.6L /100 km - normal mode. No fast acceleration

Always in eco mode.
Best car I ever had.

Nice review guys
I love this channel
The new RAV4 is absolutely one of the best suvs in this segment

That trim level is the one to buy. XSE in The States. Nice sensible review.

It is a good thing Australians are not easily confused with a model of RAV4 called a Cruiser.

Nice review! We have a 2019 toyota Rav4 trail 🥰

Thanks CarAdvice. Another great review. Paul Maric has always been a comprehensive tester and engaging presenter.

Just drove a 2020 Hybrid Rav 4 from Cairns to Airle Beach it was fantastic enough power to take over when needed and fuel economy sensational

[mikinozz]

Can you guys at CarAdvice please do a review of the Edge? Nearly all reviews focus on the Hybrid. Thanks

I love your channel and I have an important question for you - Is Australia getting the RAV4 Black Edition at all and if yes, when is it coming here? I see it is already launched in US and Europe and looks stunning. I did try and call a couple dealerships here and no one seemed to know anything about it yet. Any update on that new color scheme would help me firm up my buy

I always take a second look when I see a car with the steering wheel on the right side.

Happy driving mate

I have a Rav 4 Hybrid XLE and I am averaging 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers or 41 mpg in USA

I have the Rav4 hybrid 2020 XLE Badd Ass Transport system, and it's very fun to drive. Glad to have one.

[simexous]

Great car. Thanks, but I'll wait for the Prime version which should come out in summer 2020. Much more interesting

Hybrid is the choice, the fuel economy will make up for higher cost in just over 3 years of ownership. Will definitely be trading in my Camry hybrid for it

I’ve got a Yaris Cross at the moment but had a look at the new 2023 RAV4 and I’m thinking about upscaling.🤗

All grey Interior...no please, soft or not. How hard can it be to give you options..

[imranarshad]

Hi mate, I noticed you wearing a nice ring band. Can I ask where you bought it? Thanks

[laurenross]

When will you review the 2019 RAV4 Edge model?

What does full tank get you in miles/km approx?
