    • @BoopSnoot
      @BoopSnoot 10 месяцев назад

      Problem with Rav4s is that they are the default. That means that quite often they represent either a poor real-world value or excessive wait times due to supply and demand. For example, you're going to pay full sticker for a Rav4 Prime and wait 6 months, or potentially pay way over sticker. Meanwhile, you might get a Equinox Active for 4% under Invoice ordering from Granger and that pays for a LOT of gas or minor repairs down the road. And with high production vehicles like the Equinox, there's usually inexpensive aftermarket parts available for when the vehicle is old so you don't have to pay full OEM sticker price, making maintenance cheap. @@thebeddoctor4273

      @carlosovni7100 the equinox is much nicer than the current Rav4. For sure. But boopsnoot mentioned reliability. And Toyota will kill that equinox in that department all day. That's why I'm hoping the Next gen Rav4 will be nicer instead of bland

    • @LlyleHunter
      @LlyleHunter 10 месяцев назад

      I’m interested because the current Equinox rides remarkably smoother than the current RAV4 to the point where it’s not even comparable and it got a good repair record too. I’ve driven a few and really liked them. Also the auto start at stop lights in the RAV4 isn’t smooth at all. It’s really jerky.

  • @brucekalter4206
    @brucekalter4206 10 месяцев назад +2

    It really looks great, inside and out. Thanks, guys. I really do wish that I could get the venerable GM 3800 V6 in this, as the gas mileage would be the same or more, and it would have more power. BUT... overall, this is a nice improvement over the current model, with good styling in the vein of the Trax & Traverse.

    I was interested in this new Chevrolet until you mentioned that the sole engine option is a 1.5L 175hp engine. Not sure why when Chevy could have easily put the 2.7L 4cyl. engine in as an option. Looks good overall and will probably sell well because most people don't even care how much hp they have. I for one do.

    I love my 2019 Premier. Doesn’t look like they are bringing the multi-zone rear seat heating to this new generation. My rear seats allow passengers to heat their back, bottom, or both. Also looks like they may have moved the HomeLink and dome light controls to the infotainment system from the overhead cluster. I understand it reduces parts but adds more touches/clicks to accomplish a task.

  • @russellmaddock3492
    @russellmaddock3492 8 месяцев назад

    Like the new look. One word of advice to Chevrolet, ditch the crappy CVT transmission on FWD models. Your new aggressive design needs a bigger engine option and a reliable 8 speed transmission across all the models. Not everyone needs AWD, but everyone expects a sold and reliable 8 speed transmission. Leave the CVT's to the small lightweight vehicles that they will last in. It amazes me they didn't put one of those rubber band CVT's in the new Trax. Well, they didn't cheap out on the transmission, but they did on the tiny 3-cylinder engine that will more than likely never see 150,000 miles. A nice size four cylinder naturally aspirated engine would have been the ticket for the Trax, and the consumer could count on longevity to go with it. 3 cylinders belong in Motorcycles not cars.
