I drove my cousins 4th gen rav4 the day before and the engine is not howling like this. Something that makes me feel more luxurious about the car. I got the 2018 Camry and I don’t like the howling at all
It's nice to know the engine is only that loud when floored. I never floor my cars. Although it could be better insulated, it's not a total deal breaker for me. Still, I'll wait until its refresh in a couple of years. Maybe they'll add sound deadening in the engine bay.
Yeah I feel it does. I have the same powertrain in my 2022 camry and it adds some character to these two vehicles that are kind of well known for being "boring." Love the little growls and snarls the 2.5 makes.
I love my Rav 4 XLE hybrid. Not here to complain. Enjoy your Rav 4. Looks like it has plenty of pickup. You live in a beautiful place. Looks like you live on the West or East Coast based on the fog. Share with us you beautiful State.
I’m leasing the RAV4 Adventure and at about 2K miles it started making this grinding noise every time I brake and when I’m accelerating. Had to bring it to the dealership the other day and they had to order a bunch of parts to fix the auto clutch assembly. Also my steering wheel started squeaking and the engine was smoking. I only have 4100 miles on it! So disappointed that I have to pay $489 a month for another 30 months 😫 I had leased a couple Highlanders for 6 years and those were perfect, just couldn’t afford the $600 a month price tag.
I'm not a fan of the new 4-cylinder engine in the new Camry and RAV4. It's loud and not as smooth as the previous engine in the 7th gen Camry. Toyota needs to make an optional V6.
I've never had a 7th gen, but the 8th sure is a lot peppier than the 2011 6th gen we owned and gets way more mpg. It can also take corners much aggressively with as much confidence as I did in a FRS. One thing I miss on my 6th gen was how pillowy soft it rides. But that is the trade off for better handling and stiffer chassis. I don't find the engine loud under normal driving circumstances. In the video, he floors it all the time. The hybrid RAV4 and Camrys does much better in noise and picks up speed much quicker at stoplights though. The new RAV4 felt like it was built to be a hybrid to begin with.
I’d never buy a 4 cylinder suv or crossover. It’s peppy, but not smooth or quiet at low speeds. You have to rev up a lot this 4 cylinder engine in the RAV4 because of the weight. Toyota should offer an optional 3.5l V6 on the RAV4 just like the 07-12 used to be.
@awaters0206 I like it, decent gas mileage for the size I have the silver one If you can get it for cheap I would But since all the used cars are so expensive right now I would wait Only thing I dislike, almost hate is the swing door/barn door But I don't really use it that much so it'll pass It's a very reliable car Oil changes, brakes, tires, etc Mine probably needs a hub bearing and new struts but besides that it's really reliable and should keep going over 200k miles no problem
@CP100 Turbos are actually quite reliable. The main cause for failure is improper lubrication (i.e. people aren't checking to make sure their engine oil is topped up or of good quality). Otherwise, in a vehicle like this, where you're just gonna cruise with the family, it'll be problem free for a long time.
h corolla I couldn’t find any source regarding to the engine upgrade. It’s probably something to do with mic. If they actually made any changes for 2020 model, it’s possibly muffler related, for 2020 noise regulation
@@INUMIMI28 The 2019 RAV4 actually had significant changes done to the engine. It's now called a Dynamic Force engine by Toyota, and they claim it is able to achieve thermal efficiency figures of 41%. The old one was the 2AR-FE, the new one is the A25A-FKS. If I'm not mistaken, it also uses both multi port and direct injection for better performance and less carbon buildup. You can read more on the official Toyota website. I'm not a big enough engine geek to really get into the meat of it. www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/connect/3066/dynamic-force-engines
Haha they left that old loud 4 banger just to give the impression of accelleration... When you made that first 0-60 corner I was like what looks like that was respectable, then I replayed and calculated the 8 seconds it took.. Wow really depends on the perception. I make that corner 0-60 in 5 seconds with my 2011 fusion sport... and it doesnt feel fast to me. lol, infact now I think I need like a mustang 5.0 on loud exhausts or a supercar to feel anything stronger. VERY hard to get that in SUV's nowadays... Fn turbos... Im heading more towards the hybrid 2020 rav4 now, im giving up on performance for comfort so might as well make it practical and somehow torquy... I rarely even go over 60 around the city anyways. People need to understand that before buying a fast car. Mostly frustration for not being able to roll as it should. FAST. Only because 80% of the people on the road are driving like fn grannies all the time scared of dying at every corner, literally creating dangerous situations by not flowing with traffic and actually staying conscious about OTHERS on the road. So you take your L and you buy a high SUV or truck so atleast you can see WTF is happening ahead and try to avoid it gently.
Yup for some reason almost every small suv has too much outside noise coming in. My dads 2011 rav4 is noisy even with the windows up. However my beater 08 Camry is so quiet I can’t hear the police sirens sometimes.
@@EndlesSufferingVery interesting, it would be nice if the noise levels would steadily be reduced by Toyota as newer models get released, but apparently, that's not been the case
They are not in reality , the issue is due to the frame rate of the camera , if he selected 50 frames/s on the camera it will be fine . This is the reason the car isn’t the issue
There's no sound insulation under the hood. Surprisingly, I rode in my friends XLE with Michelin Primacy/Premier tires and it was exceptionally quiet. I didn't hear any engine noise or road noise.

@@AliHussain-me6dw With 4 people, their stuff, the A/C on and going uphill you're going to feel how weak this engine is. The biggest mistake Toyota made was discontinuing the V6 motor. Well, I can blame the people who buy it since they were too stupid.
@@IKhanNot No one's stupid for buying a RAV4. Had a long ride in my friends XLE and not only was it surprisingly silent (at all times), he never had power issues (at 3,000 ft above sea level). Plus, it's a Toyota, as cliché as that may be. Resale and reliability will be exceptionally strong.
When using the turning signal and turning your steering wheel you hear clicks ( like if it was something hitting inside) , I tought it was a defect on mine but this one does it as well! I'm leasing an adventure.. it's almost perfect except for 2 things. Noisy engine and turn signal switch hard !
You're completely right. This engine makes no sense in a car of this size and weight. Small naturally aspirated I4? What a joke. Max power and torque is delivered at 6500 and 5000 rpm respectively. That's insane.

These RAV4’s have been booming for last week or so. There’s one left and right, all directions. Toyota did a good redesign.
Although the engine is loud and rough when floored, it's not that bad when normally accelerated.

Integrated screens are much better than sticking a tablet like screen on the dashboard. To me it’s lazy design.
If the rest of the interior matches, it's fine.

@awaters0206 actually I take that back, my dad gave me the RAV4 and I also own a 2015 Prius blacked out. I sold my 2012 Altima V6

If you can get it for cheap I would
But since all the used cars are so expensive right now I would wait

It's a very reliable car
Oil changes, brakes, tires, etc
Mine probably needs a hub bearing and new struts but besides that it's really reliable and should keep going over 200k miles no problem
Much better than a crappy Nissan
Currently, I own the 2018 model and recently I drove the 2019 RAV4. The cabin noise was annoying.
CX-5 or CRV cabin is quieter.
It’s really time for Toyota to turbo charge their engines. You have to rev these things so high just to get them moving.🙄
@CP100
Turbos are actually quite reliable. The main cause for failure is improper lubrication (i.e. people aren't checking to make sure their engine oil is topped up or of good quality). Otherwise, in a vehicle like this, where you're just gonna cruise with the family, it'll be problem free for a long time.
The hybrid is much faster with a lot more lower end torque. A small displacement Turbo is pointless when there is a hybrid available.
@@Lucky8s No thanks ill still take Natural Aspirated all day

Is this a troll, or should I just explain it’s a same engine?
you need to understand, all 2.5 engines are not the same. the rav4 2.5 engine on a 2018 was not the same engine sound as a rav4 2.5 2019 or 2020
