2019 Toyota RAV4 Review - First Drive

More than 20 years after it landed in America, the 2019 Toyota RAV4 has become an absolute cornerstone of the company's lineup. It’s the best-selling model in its class AND the Japanese automaker’s most popular nameplate, with nearly 408,000 delivered in the U.S. in 2017.

For 2019, this utility vehicle is all new from the ground up, riding on the ubiquitous TNGA architecture, a foundation that’s far stiffer and provides higher quality, improved comfort and even more versatility. With tasteful-but-aggressive styling, improved acceleration and reduced fuel consumption, what’s not to like?

Howdy, folks! Just to clarify, hybrid RAV4s only have ONE electric motor driving the rear wheels, NOT TWO as I stated in this video. Please forgive me. Clearly, I have no idea what I’m talking about!

Thanks!

Craig. You are officially the first RAV4 review I have seen for this all-new model. You are awesome.

[russiaviation]

This car/SUV/ or whatever you wanna call her could be the one who stands with you faithfully till your last breath !!! :)

Not a Toyota fan but that’s the best looking Toyota

[tokuchaan]

I never really liked the RAV4 but I have to say they did a good job here. It looks good.

getting one next year. The Honda CRV doesn't give me long term confidence with the engine issues that folks are unfortunately experiencing.

[larserikrst]

Where is the review? This is just general information. How is it to drive, is it noisy, how does it handle curves, are the seats comfortable?

[cmftbgi]

What a car indestructible and they hold their value so well

I like new 2019 Toyota Rav4 Adventure in and out looks very cool just like FJ Cruiser

[pankajnalavde]

Well made video with attention to details and nice flow of

now if that RAV4 was made to lool that good

[richardmorse]

The engine is noisy on start up in the Limited trim. Could this be due in part to no under hood sound deadener? Other than obvious cost cutting why would Toyota do this?

[arnoldguisa]

Toyota’s rav4 and Honda’s cr-v are the best compact suvs right now. They both have good deals.

[valb]

Thanks for the advice. Does the 2019 RAV 4 have transmission related minor issues, such as problem shifting gear?

nicely updated dashboard. Exterior styling may not be to everyone's taste

[evobudbrink]

It’s super cute, has a lot of spunk, and personality! ...oh the car ain’t too shabby either 😀

[RobertAlvarez]

So is it smooth, is it quiet, is it comfortable???

I recently bought 2019 RAV-4 XLE Hybrid. After I bought the car, I noticed the car makes sort of loud high pitch noise when I put the gear in reverse. When I told the dealer about it, they told me it's normal and all the hybrid cars make that noise. Did you notice any noises in the reverse gear when you did the test drive? Thank you,

This butch looking RAV4 needs a V6 to complete the package. #V6RAV4

When they say “ a little bit” that really means a lot. They can’t be truthful because they are being paid by the manufacturers
