Can you compare it with Tiguan Allspace R-line? I understand its 7 seaters but its more like tad longer 5 seaters with bigger boot and excellent engine & drivetrain for sub 220k SUV.
Hmmm... I think, if people are complaining about its price. They must not see it's value. In which I think, this falls on UMV Toyota specs for this vehicle. I won't expect a break neck speed on this vehicle, although there are variant like RAV4 prime that sprint 0-100 under 6 sec. I do think, that it should come by with 4WD as to differentiate this offering than the others offering in Toyota SUV line up. I might be wrong in this, but maybe Toyota can advertise this vehicle water wading capabilities in urban environment like the flash flood that is very frequent in KL. Might made this vehicle look more robust and able to offer something that only a Toyota can do better, at that price range. You could say that might be its unique selling proposition.
Seems like a decent chill car! Seat/Cupra Ateca, Subaru Forester, Kia Stonic or Skoda Kodiaq as my future car, oh yeah forgot the Volvo XC-60 or 90. I'm thinking Security features first and then ofc seating and then sound. What would be your favorites or how would you rate these? If I got the cash, def a G-wagon or E class suv with brown leather/cappucino seats!
Minor complaints for me. Pricing wise blame the taxation system there furthermore in other markets RAV4. is a more affordable SUV in the range below the Harrier etc thus the the normal speaker system etc
As much as i wanted to support Toyota....the price is just a huge deal breaker, 215k really? I would rather get a CX5 2.5 NA instead....great review as always.
Simply against all competition in Malaysia, it is way overpriced for what is expected a C-seg SUV (due to tax) and does not have the luxuries of a RM200k SUV. Hate it or not, this is really how the Malaysian market works. Get competitive or get tossed out immediately.
I saw one on the road, it looks fantastic though not gonna lie. But it could be someone review the car or maybe someone really really love this all-new Rav4 that wouldn't mind buying one despite its price.
Its basically an old model, price inflated by our taxation as a CBU and the AP, as this (old) RAV 4 is concerned. Others are already driving the newer RAV Hybrid and the newest, PRIME. That's why you review of this car is only a so so especially with the features.
entertainment unit = major let down in the car, however, an after market unit is available from Taiwan that is make to replace the unit in the new RAV-4 comes with larger screen size, think not sold in malaysia yet
For this a big no no, put aside the price, inside is just so plastic especially the center console unit, so paid a over 200k for this, i think mazda did much more better work than this
If u want a robust looking and robust performing car at about 200k+ price point, get a Ranger Raptor. Want a 200k+ luxurious Japanese SUV, get a Toyota Harrier 2.0T
For this money you could only get the entry x1 18i with the 3 cylinder. The 20i is about 20k more. But right now, the RAV4 is my fav SUV in the segment followed closely by the Tiguan R-line.
This is pretty much same or less spec than cx5 GLS for 150k. The only reason why someone would buy this over other suv in the segment is the reliability in the long run
@@jackeytam7700 are you telling us that this RAV4 over the long term does not need a single repair or part replacement at all ? Please tell it to stupid idiots not to experience car owners. The cx5 would not need RM50k to repair . If it does so , same goes for the RAV4 . No cars cannot live without service and repairs . Period . Do not know what modern Toyota reliability stand for ???
@@konsen6149 Bro chill... the 2.5 liter toyota is using spans across several vehicles and has been in their line up for years, it has stood up to the test of time. Somemore parts are shared amongst the cars. Only an idiot would think a car does not need to be repaired. Dont know if your boss got mad at you or what but you are really toxic. Perhaps try a snickers???
@@jackeytam7700 , Hello this is a matter of personal or many other people opinions regarding the questionable type of Toyota reliability being brag ,. It is reliable because of easy access to car spare parts availability or Toyota still using same dinosaur engines to ensure no serious breakdown or Toyota worn out parts can be stretch significantly higher mileage before needing replacement compare to other brands . FYI,Toyota can never be reliable if the servicing and replacement parts for worn out parts are not there. This is to say most car brands nowadays are reliable if given proper care and servicing . Even When you trash a Toyota , the life span of 15 years can be reduced to even five years So reliability always remain a questionable factor even for Toyota. We are not echoing car reviewers mouth on Toyota reliability but we always want to get to the bottom as whether Toyota is that reliable as the reviewers brag .

I swear that if 1 dollar is collected each time a Malaysian reviewer tries to praise Toyota TNGA platform to offset its hefty price,we could have open a 4th national car brand by now. Just get on with the TNGA platform.I have test drive it .Toyota(not the UMW) is goin towards the mazda trail but by selling cheaper grade at a hefty price.Deny all u want but its the truth.
I was waiting for this video long time...i bought one....and I'm so satisfied with it
200k for TOYOTA ...WOW you are rich
@@bibiiu3559 humble rich guy😉
Wow rich guy
Better than cheapo kosong x1
very clear spoken accent... not the usual malaysian spoken accent..very refreshing and pleasant.
I'm interested to see if those rubber surfaces will 'melt' like many bmws
and VWs
My 2014 BMW 3 series melted.... it sucks
Thanks for the review. Agreed with your assessment based on price. Spot on
Haha, I naturally adopted the 7 and 5 o clock driving position. Agreed that it's the most comfortable position for highway cruising.
An in-depth analysis that evidences knowledge

For the price and if I could afford RM200K++, I would get the BMW. But that's IF..
Hi Adrian, great reviews!! Keep it up. Hope you’re able to make another Subaru Forester in-depth review soon 😊

Bro u are absolutely correct....this car is cheaper than crv without the taxes I'm happy that u understood the malaysian tax tingy and its a cbu
Where does Corolla Cross fit between all the choices of SUV out there?
As much as i wanted to support Toyota....the price is just a huge deal breaker, 215k really? I would rather get a CX5 2.5 NA instead....great review as always.
Since launching until now, I didn't saw even one on the roads.....
anyone seeking on road ?

@@benlau2045 Yea True
conclusion blame ours tax is higher

Malaysian tax structure, what to do...
I'm waiting for CKD model bcause I think the rim will change and the price will go more cheaper.
Rav4 or Harrier?
215k but doesn't even get a dual -tone sport rim but instead get a cheapo looking one?
Actually, the Lexus doesn't get dual-tone sport rim as well. It's not a silver rim, but a bit of dark chrome or smth
entertainment unit = major let down in the car, however, an after market unit is available from Taiwan that is make to replace the unit in the new RAV-4 comes with larger screen size, think not sold in malaysia yet
kenwood has a unit that fits perfectly in Toyotas with 230mm headunits
Back in America this car is a soccer mom car, in Malaysia it’s a status symbol
Do you have noise level @110km/h for X70 and Xtrail?
From my research, Bobby Ang said da best NVH in this class is X70 and CX5.
I found the answer, seen like is 1dB lower compared to CX5
Half price of RAV4 🤔🤔🤔
For this a big no no, put aside the price, inside is just so plastic especially the center console unit, so paid a over 200k for this, i think mazda did much more better work than this
If u want a robust looking and robust performing car at about 200k+ price point, get a Ranger Raptor. Want a 200k+ luxurious Japanese SUV, get a Toyota Harrier 2.0T
Want a people carrier, get a 2018 recon Alphard X
Better get mazda cx8
Worth if compared to cheapo bmw x1
Lol, you just get a badge for X1
For this money you could only get the entry x1 18i with the 3 cylinder. The 20i is about 20k more. But right now, the RAV4 is my fav SUV in the segment followed closely by the Tiguan R-line.
Guys..is it worth to buy RAV-4 with this kind of price?
This is pretty much same or less spec than cx5 GLS for 150k. The only reason why someone would buy this over other suv in the segment is the reliability in the long run

Peminat Ke 85...
Pay for X1 which is much more worth of it. (Since is buying branding)
Model tak laku but actually Japan Car of the Year
Langkawi price..rm 130K Only..same with civic 1.5tcp...sya orang langkawi..
Robust yes but 4wd? I don’t think so, at least not for our market unluckily~ 😪
Hi....can you review honda crv
Comparing it to a bmw? The only thing comparable is price. The rest toyota is simply the better choice.
Because if the rav4 gives you whatever you mentioned it would be a NX.. Toyota just being lazy.. at this moment.
Omg. That entertainment unit is rubbish
All that price for a FWD. Toyota thinks too highly of their car.
Rav4 more reliable
Camry is better la.
Nope
This thing is a joke.
Blame Malaysian tax structure haha
WapCar ; ya. The car’s mechanicals r pretty good, d engine v smooth. Looks shiet tho.
