I never been a Toyota fan but this new Rav4 really changed my mind. I love the design and performance. Your video really helped me to makeup my mind to give it a shot this time. Thank you for sharing.
Me to, never thing about bay Toyota for my, but this model is superb ;-)
Toyota is not only about design and performance, thats secondary. But especially the reliability.
Most people don`t know that Toyota measures average speed in cities and it is a big point when they make hybrid engines. Their results where between 18-22 km/h on average. Yours is 25km/h. So 4.1 is great, but I believe it can be incredible if average speed is under 22km/h. Thank you for this review. Really helpful.
If average speed was lower it would go more time on battery and have lower average. I checked this in my chr, my average speed to work is around 35 if don't obey speed limit,then average consumption 5,2-5,5, if I do obey my average is 30 - 31 and fuel consumption around 4,5
Thanks! This will be perfect for my short trip drives
Nice test.
That seemed to fairly accurate for an "intown" commute. I don't think those numbers would hold for suburban commutes of 20+ miles (unless it is all stop and go). Besides fuel economy and reduced hydrocarbon output, regenerative braking in hybrids totally saves the brakes. We owned a Prius and had over 100K miles without need of a brake job.
Fill-up your GAS TANK. Then check the total distance driven once the empty light goes off. Then fill-up again and record how many litters or gallon you put back in the tank. That total distance divided by amount of gas you put back is your MPG. Driving a car for 15km (9miles) and then claim that it's the car's MPG rating would be foolish.
I checked it. The difference was 4% (similar to other cars)
Yes you are right, this video misleading, probably 6.5l per 100 km
@@rcheliyan Did you read my comment? I checked fuel consumption on petrol station!
Trust me ladies, the guy behind the wheel exactly knows what he is doing! He did also the hypermiling with the VW Passat and it was more than accurate. Nothing is misleading here, as a consumption of +- 4 litres in city driving is a unbelievably good result.
@@TheGuyWithTheAfricaTwin let me explain this battery 3/4 when start at the END 1/2. SO rav used some electric power
Ii think
DUDE...it really took you 45min to go about 12 miles. Remind me never to complain about my commute EVER again Awesome way of doing this review Thanks
Finally good job. Is any chance to do fuel consumption test in toyota RAV4 2019 -2022 with engine 2,0. Excellent job. outstanding.
This is a very helpful video. I am trying to decide between passat GTE and RAV4 hybrid.
RAV 4 Hybrid
Rav4 bro, cmon
Actually, this is a VERY BAD mpg review. 25km/hr average speed and consumption based on 19km distance traveled. That is very inaccurate and not helpful at all. One should drive a minimum of 50miles and drive an average speed of 65mph to get more of a REAL WORLD MPG. Driving such a short distance and say this was the vehicle's MPG rating will confuse most consumers. 57MPG as depicted on this video? Even a prius can't get that on a "REAL WORLD" driving.
I have a 2017 ACCORD Hybrid. If my Hybrid battery is near full charged, I can get 80MPG on a 5km distance drive from my garage, but it will be dumb to say that my car gets 80MPG.
Passat is a plug-in hybrid, it makes sense only if you can charge it regularily. If you can't - forget it.
RAV4 any time
3,8 l / 100km on 62 km/h avg speed, hear.
3:18 damn fits this music to RAV4! 🤟🏻
Excellent video! 👍👍👍🙏
Bravo !
Nice Video and music(from 3:17) like the new Rock Lock of RAV4 ;-) ! Thany you. Did you start this test on completely cold engine? THX dzięki
Thank you :) I started test just after getting out from the garage.
Good question, cuz my prius is has big difference between 10 and 30°C outside temperature. Maybe even 2l/100km difference
In eco mode now for 2020 rav4 hybrid for about 3 weeks now and getting over 55 mpg mostly city driving. Insane for an Suv !

I drove one for a weekend over the german highway. (I work for toyota as a mechanic)

It consumed around 5- 6,5 liters on highway speeds around 100-150 km/h.
Jeden z lepszych filmików o spalaniu RAV4, jaki był poziom baterii przy starcie?
Dzięki. Około 60% (widać na filmie). Na tak długim dystansie poziom naładowania akumulatora nie ma praktycznie żadnego znaczenia (mała jego pojemność).

Wow, 4.1L/100km!!! Very impressive. I never got below 5.9L/100km and approx. less than 50% of the time in EV mode. My car is 2020 RAV4 2.5L AWD Cruiser Hybrid, top hybrid trim in Aust. I use my car mainly for short distances (within 10km, fairly flat area) and average speed is around 30km/h. I always select EV drive mode and never accelerate hard or aggresively. Don't understand why I'm not getting even close to what has been shown in this video. What fuel consumption do you guys get with your new RAV4 Hybrid?
Bigger rims are also drinking extra fuel, remember that
Key words here are “all wheel drive”, it always takes extra litre and more.. 🤷🏼♂️
Don't use ev mode. Let toyota manage the battery for you
What is the consumption on highway at the speed 120-130 km/hr ?
@@paniniman6524indeed. By forcing into EV mode the car won't regen using the engine when otherwise it might decide THAT is more efficient
Toyota and Lexus make the best. My brother who owns a newer Civic said his car doesn't even get as good of gas milage as the rental Camry he had to visit me. Camry is bigger than the Civic, Civic is more of a Corolla sized vehicle, yet can't compete with fuel milage. My brother drove from Dallas to Waco Tx and the Camry was still on a full tank after a couple hours of driving. Sure Honda makes fast cars but if you want reliable and efficient go Toyota or Lexus
Holy smokes - that's amazing. What was the outside temperature for this trip? Thanks!
Thank you :) The outside temperature you can see on the footage from the computer screen. Around 15 Celsius degrees.
@@1001cars Wow, thank you. Imagine what that thing could get when it's 21 or 27 C.
I’ll installing a heater in my engine and will use it also in summertimes to speed up the temp if the engine oil
Ι thought that the car can run in EV mode for only a couple of hundred meters only.
Yeah it's much better than last generation. You can run in EV mode up to like 90 kph+. Going in EV mode only like the guy in the video is painfully slow though.
@@cyberpope2137 where did you get your information from? No you can only run this vehicle in EV up to 25 mph. Or roughly 40 kph. After exceeding those speeds the EV mode shuts off.
Car can run for a couple of KM if forced in EV mode with the dedicated button.
But in normal hybrid driving (normal engine when needed plus regenerative braking) is like you see in the video
@@williamking7420 In my experience with my 2018 RAV4, I can go up to 40mph on EV but with a controlled gas pedal, if you are hard on the gas pedal it will activate or run on the petrol engine immediately.
@@jomojigz I wish there were more videos on this feature plus commentary on line. Info is woefully lacking.

Great on-road demonstrations. Can you do the same for the Camry, please? I need to know how it performs in real life. Thank you.
I have recorded it and I achieved similar result :) I am going to publish this movie soon :)
Toyota HSD is just superior. I'm totally convinced since I drive an Auris II Touring Sports and I begin to miss the smooth gearbox and electric cruising when I have to drive our company Audi A6 (2018, TDI, DSG). The Audi is nice, but the Toyota somehow feels much better to drive and the whole system is way more efficient and reliable (no turbo, no filter, no high pressure injectors, no gearbox issues, etc.) - it's just well thought and not over engineered with work arounds to get a better pollutant class.
DSG is from Volkswagen not audi
@@adrianmatei4086 You're right, but DSG and S-Tronic is basically the same. (DQ381)
My engine constantly runs regardless. My fuel economy is 25mpg. I’m beginning to think there is something seriously wrong with mine.
Did you get it sorted?
25 mpg is very very low. you should get your car checked.

I know you will not find this hard to believe, but once I took my 2018 Camry Hybrid on a one hour and fifty-nine minute trip. It was mostly country driving, 80 KPH highways and I was treating it like a video game. At the end of the trip, my average fuel economy was 3.6 litres per hundred kilometers or 65.3 MPG (USA) or 78.47 MPG (UK). Photo to back up said claim. This past October, the car was three years old and had 109,000 kilometers ... and a bit. Best ... Car ... Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 68.
In such conditions it is possible. Good result! :)
Awesome job 1001. Any chance you can do the Toyota Crown hybrid review?
Unfortunately not :( This car is not available in Europe :(
It is good to know that this car has great mpg in town. Can you also do a fuel consumption video at a constant speed of 70, 80, 90, 100 and 120?

While looking at the EV time monitor, I thought you were driving a plug-in hybrid since it was on EV mode even on quick accelerations from a stop. I cannot believe it. Maybe the net elevation of your destination is vastly lower than the starting point? Regardless, that fuel consumption is insane!
Thank you :) the elevation is similar, I checked it :)
Great video, thank you! Can someone tell me if this is the 2WD or AWD model? I don't know if I should pay more for the AWD because I don't need it.
It is FWD model. AWD version has much better traction especially during start. In would choose RAV4 AWD
@@1001cars Thanks for your reply. The new RAV4 arrives in Australia next week and I'm looking forward to taking a test drive.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Pulse and glide was not used so with that i suspect would be 3.5l/100 ;) yes! the issue is to accelerate to wanted speed and just pull a little bit acceleration pedal to be close or exactly 0 on energy meter. This uses momentum of the heavy car and does not use petrol and battery charging/discharging but requires extra focus on the meter and the road.
Try City Fuel Economy in Jakarta (in Monday)... I wnna know the result.
🤣🤣
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
can you even bay Fuel in Jakarta ?
This is nice to see, it uses less where ecery petrol car uses max. Where you gentle driving or kind of normal with the throttle?
In new hybrids Toyota increased speed when only electric engine runs the car. In my older Auris it is up to 74km/h. In newest hybrid it is even 125km/h and due to li-lion battery which has better performance. I get in my Auris 3.1l/100km when i drive calmly 30km between cities. This holidays i was at the sea side and average was 4.5l/100km for whole 470km trip. If somebode does not believe-well, it is your choice :) but i am very happy when i am on gas station ;)
Why would Toyota make an all electric car when their hybrid gets insane mpg and sells so well?
Well they will soon of course
Because true electric make over 100mpg equivalent
+ no lithium batteries
Because a hybrid still has an internal combustion engine which adds more complexity to the car and still burns fuel, which means it's still polluting, not to mention that in the majority of cases, electricity is way cheaper that gas.
Imagine if Toyota fully commits to make a good EV. That car would easily get an insane range and beat Tesla.
@@YaoiBoy5xx That's why it's called a bridge technology. The fully electric cars cause other problems: Currently you have to use a lot of lithium for the batteries, which is rare and needs a lot of energy to make cells out of it (google: lithium child labor - it really sucks). Toyota Hybrids run with classic NMH-batteries which are much easier to produce, change and recycle. A classic electric grid system (like in the US) will also not be capable of charging millions of electric cars with 22-500kW/h at the same time. We need much more buffer technologies world wide (sun, wind, water, hydrogen) before electric driving becomes the standard. This is the chance to switch to economic energy sources - and just image when ships and planes go eco-electric, too one day.
Real city driving results with very small avg speed. This was a light version of a city driving.
Still very good results!
Its better in the city

Hybrydy Toyoty są świetne.
Great consumption...really. But I noticed that you have left 35-40% of battery. What when you deplete it? Witch is consumption when you need to recharge it with engine? Actually what is your average long term consumption in the city?
You can't really control that. You can force it into EVMode but in a real life situation it will jump out of it as soon as you accelerate up over a certain limit and in a city that will happen all of the time. The car automatically controls the electric on and off. If you are eco driving and at low speeds it will be in EV a lot. I have owned mine for 3 weeks tomorrow. I have seen the battery full once, but never empty. I'm not really eco driving though, I pace myself but I don't really try to push it.
@@Zogin_EPICH
Yes I understood. But that "battery was never empty", was it recharged with engine or somehow else. Sorry for my questions, but people say hybrid cars are most economical today. I don't agree because they spend less fuel that is for sure, but not that much and the price is way bigger than not hybrid cars in same segment. At least here in Europe
stjepan krajina Only engine and breaking can charge the battery.
stjepan krajina I agree with you. I doubt you will save the cost of hybrid vs no hybrid in the vehicles lifetime. You would need to own it for many years.
Especially considering I drove my old RAV4 70000km in 5 years of owning it. I expect to own this car for no more then 5 years either
what was the average speed at the end of the test? and how much km did you pass?
Distance traveled is whown in every second of this movie. Info about average speed is in the end of the movie. 19 km and 25 km/h
The question i have is how charged up was the battery at the start of the EV mode? Also there is no restriction when you can turn on EV mode ? Like does it have to be charged at certain percentage to engage it and can i swap to EV mode while the vehicle is moving?
I didn't use "EV mode button" during this test. The battery at start was charged to ~60-70% at start. You can use "ev mode" only in some situations, for example if you have enough energy in the battery and the speed is not too high.
1001cars Thank you for clearing that up! Dumb old me keep thinking it was on EV...😅 well knowing the EV mode can only run for a short distance 😰 subscribed and followed! 👍🏻
@@Turburki I was driving in a hybrid mode but i was using electric motor only as long as I could :)
Thank you! :)
It will be a little different if there were hills and or had been winter. I find with my gen4 living in a hilly area I get just over the mpg as I had with my old diesel gen4. So I'm happy with that.
Driving obnoxiously slow. You are the person that gives everyone road rage. I want a test for someone who actually drives with a pulse.
Why should I drive much faster than speed limits?
Lol this thing has better mileage than my

When does the gas engine turn on, on the gauge ?
how about driving it outside the city? let's say 50 km driving at 130-140 km/h and another 50 driving at 70-90 km/h ? I am very curious what kind of fuel consumption this hybrid will offer under those circumstances.
I put link to such test in the description: ruclips.net/video/f_-1zNyp-C4/видео.html Is it enough for you? :)

This is not a real-world test, it's an ideal-world scenario for a short hop.
My brand new Rav 4 hybrid, first full tank of mixed city/highway driving with a very light foot, 821kms until fuel light came on, I got 5.4l/100km, that's 43.6 mpg US, 52.3 mpg UK. If you really drive like a granny you might get close to the claimed combined 4.8l/100km. Either way, it's still sector leading and very impressive, no need for the hyperbole.
IT IS real-world test of city driving. I don't know why you compare it with mixed city-highway driving.

I have driven the RAV4 2019 hybrid for more than a month with 5500km...i get 5.5l/100km
Can you give me that car if you are tired of it
What i have at the moment driving only in city, mostly from traffic light to traffic light is around 7.2l/100km. Driving on highway, 90-100kmh I have around 5.8l/100km. Odometer shows only 900km in total, maybe later consumption will drop slightly.
Yours is a hybrid or a just petrol?
@@sbadrawi2011a mine is hybrid. What I learned more, is that when the weather is way warmer, car starts driving in ev mode instantly. So during warm days i can easily drop city avg consumption back to 5l/100km. I would say very good result!
Czy będzie test hondy crv hybrid ?
So what would you say it's the range of Ev mode only? 100miles?
It is pointless to talk about EV range in Toyota's hybrid cars. It does not work like hybrid plug-in cars, because you do not have to charge batteries from energy source.
Did you force it to EV mode all time?
Not, always in Hybrid mode
Thanks!
Nice video, thanks, bought (but not to be delivered soon, oh no, due to the huge success) one and hope the 4*4 to be even more efficient with a additional electric motor and a longer gear ratio for the rear traction
AWD should not help, it adds weight.
So explain me why a dual Tesla consume less or why Toyota has rated a lower co2 émission during the WLTP test?

WLTP is not much different than NEDC, they have nothing to do with the real world driving.

Two things are wrong here: 1) The traction battery was nearly depleted at the end, while you didn't show its level at the start. 2) The test finish point should be at the start point, especially for such a short test trip (altitude matters).
Two answers:
I started with 4/8 level of the battery. At Finish it was not "nearly depleted". Nearly depleted is less than 2/8.
Elevation in starting point: 107,7 m, final elevation: 106,7 m. Is it OK?

Conclusion : you were the slowest driver
Not :) I overtook around 11-12 cars (excluding heavy traffic) and around 30 cars were faster than me (these drivers run much faster than speed limit)
Have a 2016 RAV4 Hybrid. Has avg’d 41 mpg (Canada) since purchase. 57 doubtful!
Bruce Madu the new Toyota has a completely different transmission and electric motor connected to the rear wheels. It is much more efficient than previously.
He is very gentle with the acceleration. He is always left behind. Ofcourse you get those numbers
This guy knows how to hypermile. It takes some practice. The new RAV4 hybrid is not comparable with the old RAV4 hybrid, completely different fuel economy
Driving 25km/h in Canada isn’t really realistic. Unless I’m going to the corner store... and even then that’s unlikely.
but it´s pretty realistic for driving in an european city...and thats where the car was driven.
It is typical speed in a traffic in big city

Kaizen The Big Idea - Create a culture of continuous improvement where all employees are actively engaged in improving the company. Nurture this culture by organizing events focused on improving specific areas of the company. USA Should adopt this idea
The new PHEV is announced for 2021 that out performs this hybrid in speed and efficiency. They could have easily launched both at the same time but they didn't. Toyota want to strategically screw you out of your hard earned money with and "bait n' switch" marketing tactic and guess what... it worked! We're all so inpatient and completely mind f*cked with pseudo information towards the latest "so-called" legitimate technological advancements that we've become gullible consumers. As one post remarked " Wow its over 40 mpg". Are kidding me? That's the bar of standards? As far as true science goes Lithium-ion is sub-par technology that is strictly good enough to charge a power drill on a job site, not a vehicle. It also has many safety implications. The 2nd generation solid-state lithium batteries are much safer and energy dense that will achieve proper long range driving. These are the batteries that will make vehicles worth waiting in the next few years and there is a high probability that the RAV4 2024 - 2025 model will be the first to offer it since Toyota wants to keep its leadership role. Personally, I want an efficient SUV but these current models are not good enough in that respect. Best to keep buying cheap ICE vehicles for the next 4-5 yrs until the real game changing tech happens.
so you're saying you get better mileage than the estimated mileage Toyota is advertising? Doesn't that sound fishy?
This test definitely isn't accurate.
What strange is in it? It is quite typical that good eco-driver can achieve better result that producer claims. So tell me: what exactly in this real-world test is not acuurate.
Toyota..
I once drove 06 acura tl v6 with over 43gpm for around 100miles highway trip when it was new.
It's 2wd or AWD?
AWD
@@jeandrevisser8689 It is complicated. It doesn't have a mechanical linkage to send power from the engine to the rear axle. It does have electric motors in the rear that can power the rear wheels. This means you can't get full power to the rear, but in most situations the electric motors are probably enough.
I wonder how much white sludge there will be in the oil after a year of driving like this.

Y Ben what roads were you on and what’s the average speed? In my 2020 Corolla Hybrid I get as low as 52 mpg all highway 75- 80 mph average to 68 mpg in stop and go slow driving. My commute to work gets me an indicated 63-64 mpg which hand calculated is about 59 mpg....you have to lift and run in EV mode as much as possible to get great mpg, on the highway it’s next to impossible to do.
John DiMartino 90% highway at 73m/h
@@yben2340 No wonder you are getting 41 mpg :)
yes but city drive in a very flow traffic city, came in milano or rome and it would do more than 8 km liter. i triyed the versione before this and even if was in a secondari street with not to much truffica i was going on 50km and 70 because limits and speed checks, when i was back at the store with the computer they sended me the consumption and it was 8/100 km 12 km liter, so i wash shocked. and they told me that this is his consumption. but this is a new version new chassis and more efficient but i doubt that it consume the half of the old hybrid one. after 3 years i bought the toyorta c hr with the 1.8 hybrid 122cv and i did 160kkm in 4 years, well i did the hybrid driving course and i was able to do 34 km for liter in a secondary road at 80-70 but is very hard to drive like that, if you drive normally it was doing 20 22 km liters in a flat area, in sicily my city up and down hills was doing 14 km liters crazy, and also the computer is very optimistic allways say 2-3 km liters more that the real.
I do not know about which generation of RAV4 Hybrid you are talking about, but when we talk about 2019 generation or younger consumption higher than 5 l/100 km means the driver does not drive carefully. Here you have even lower average speed and... lower fuel consumption: ruclips.net/video/EZaAtFvROqY/видео.html
57.4 mpg? No way
As you can see on this movie it is real fuel economy
don't forget, this is the front wheel drive. the awd version will have slightly less mpg but still in city probably you should get 47-50mpg with awd in city if you are very gentle on the pedal. in canada it is rated 41mpg but Toyota always goes beyond EPA. and the car has a learning feature so it improved over time.

Toyota tells AWD will have little better mpg then FWD. Take a look at catalogue. In Europe is: FWD: 4,5-4,6 l /100 km, AWD: 4,4-4,5 l / 100 km.
@@CC-gt3ro Its actually better on the 4wd due to the extra electric (I would asume)
Also with 2 electric motors front and one in the rear your generative breaking gets more efficient.
Kabaty :)
Overweight and overcomplicated, EVs will be a much better choice when the on-board
solar-charging takes off.
You don't understand math if you think a solar panel can charge an ev battery
@@John-ep4in Did I say that???? The idea is to optimize on-board charging to give the vehicle better range. Batteries will also get less wear and tear due to decreased deep-cycling.
Drive on motorway
Read the description :) ruclips.net/video/f_-1zNyp-C4/видео.html
The slowest in traffic, like eggs you drive, to have that consumption.
Why should I drive much faster than speed limits? And.. No, I was not the slowest driver.
wtf!? really....??
Dude. My 2018 rdx gets better gas mileage, more power and it's running a v6 and not hybrid. This vehicle for the weight and motor should be pushing 60-68 miles per gallon.
Your RDX does not get that. It just doesn't.
@@FoShizzleMyPizzle yes it does. And it's not hard to hit that with the new variable motors and new higher gear trans. Just stop punching your foot to the floor boards.
An Acura RDX V6 weighs nearly 1.8 tons.
No hybrid electric motor to help with economy.
Only has a 6 speed gearbox.
Has a rated minimum fuel economy figure of 8.6l/100km.
Yet, you say can beat a late model toyota hybrid in terms of fuel economy in stop/start traffic?
Your car simply does not get that.
Nice try. Thanks for playing.
🤣🤣🤣 make it a video and proof it
