@@Toyotajeff I remember your video on the '18 RAV and how the XLE could be optioned out to nearly that of what the Limited models were. But able to save a few dollars. Mark.
Great review! I test drove this but in the the the fully loaded new 2019 Santa Fe killed this one! Love my Santa Fe! It looks and feels like a luxury SUV. To me it is!
Thank you for your review of 2019 Rav4. I've decided to purchase one, had some difficulty finding the hybrid limited. I finally had to order one. It should be in the middle of August.
Thank you for this video. It did not have everything I was looking for and I went with a new 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate 2.0T. Which comes with Hyundai awesome warranty, 3 years I’d Bluelink, and Siri’s XM never mind Navigation. I’m still discovering upgrades that are above and beyond others in this class. I love RUclips because I have been able to compare many vehicles in this class. Thanks again and for those that went with this vehicle I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. We all have to do what’s best for us. I love my fully loaded Hyundai Ultimate 2.0T! ❤️
Does the drivers seat go back farther than the 2018? I tried it and think it does. This is a huge difference and hasn't been mentioned by anyone. Why do do rear seats not recline? Why did they remove the netting rack in the trunk? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Don't want to appear stupid, but I want get a distinctive answer unless I ask. Could you please elaborate in detail the various effects of ECO/NORMAL/ SPORT. What conditions, dictate when to use ECO and so on with the others, as well as, what changes does the vehicle go through in terms of felt response. Thank you.
Eco is for economy mode to save the most fuel by using eco heat/air reduce throttle response and lower shift points. Normal is normal shift points normal throttle response and heat/air. Sport increases throttle response holds rpms longer in the gear and uses normal heat/air
Sarkis Carboyan. Thanks, but can I assume, since it's really the condition that I'm after; that ECO would be best used in a lot of Stop & Go driving, NORMAL, consistent flow of traffic and SPORT could possibly be used in traffic where the speed is 80 MPH or higher, like 85 South going towards Atlanta. Would this be a fair assessment, Sir or am I wrong. Thank you, Go Eagles!
Hello Jeff can you please Give Reveiw on Rav4 XLE AWD model 2019.. and the Car is being ASSEMBLED in CANADA. Because what you are giving over veiw is mostly JAPAN made.. thank you and I will be looking unto it..
I’m bent between either a Subaru Crosstrek Limited or a Toyota RAV4 Adventure. Would you say that the RAV4 has more towing capacity than the Crosstrek? I’m planning on getting a motorcycle in the future and I want something that can handle the weight of one.
Hector Cepeda Of course! It could be installed wrong, could interfere with other moving parts, could fall off and cause trouble, could violate warranty, could cause fire lol fire 🔥. I would never suggest that. But it’d also your car too...jeff
Hi Jeff, Love your videos and the humor. Could you do a video showing how to use Homelink to work with your garage opener on the 2019 RAV4? My last new car was a 2009 Camry, and it did not have pairing in the mirror or visor like the new models. Thanks!
I bought the same car very nice vehicle but very expensive some buttons are not lit inside the car like the power window button, some of the climate control switches and the glove compartment are not lit😔😔😔
5am Sam its a great suv, but for the price.....you can get a 4runner. 2 different vehicles for sure. But it depends on what you need it for too!. Me?? I want both lol !
Great question! Those apps update automatically. You add them on your smart phone and then you can update through your smart phone occasionally if they need to be updated. They will automatically be added to your Apple CarPlay screen or second screen. Jeff
Its a shame the rav 4 does not come with power adjustable seat for the driver in the base model at 27k and coins, and the xle at 28k and coins. one has to get a convenience package before you can get that feature pushing the xle cost to almost 30k. the rav 4 is no longer for the average car buyer who cannot afford a luxury brand. its a deal breaker for me and shame on toyota.
The last base model Toyota was only 3k cheaper, no big deal , also 27k is super cheap here in Honduras we get to buy a base model for 32k American dollars and the limited for 41k American dollars
Brian Hey Brian! Thank you for catching my mistake. You were absolutely right. All 19 inches are 8.6. The hybrids are 8.1. Sorry for the mess up...jeff
Abbas Ibrahim That’s really nice of you to say. I try to be different and fun with my videos so I’m glad you appreciate it. Hopefully the entire world will notice and everyone will subscribe to my channel ha ha. Maybe you can recruit about 100 of your friends and family to subscribe to my channel please?
Great question! Unfortunately I cannot answer that because there are too many factors involved in your question. It’s a depends on what your region’s leasing rate is. It depends on your credit history. It depends on how long your lease will be. It depends on how much money you have down.
Teddy Yoon I had way better connections at a Honda dealer. 1 of my cousins is a sales manager along with a couple relatives in sales and finance at the same dealer. Anyway I much prefer Toyota and I drove an extra 30 minutes to buy a rav4 from a cousin at a Toyota dealer. The rav4 is all new unlike the crv, it’s also more truck like which I prefer. I also think the rav4 has a more reliable power train. The turbo engine in the new Honda’s drives really nice even though it has a cvt but I hear there’s a few problems with them already.
song ung Hahahahaha Hi Song! You do realize I am now keeping track of the number of comments you write that there is no android auto on Toyota’s right? This is probably 5 times in the past 2 weeks. I get hundreds of comments a day and yet I know you and your Android auto comment a thousand miles away haha...thanks for watching buddy...jeff
song ung and as a sneak preview I am also going to be doing a review of the Limited and the Adventure trim levels. They also won’t have Android Auto. :)
Great video Jeff! The XLE Premium package is well equipped! I'm looking forward to March or April when the XSE Hybrid is introduced! Mark in Iowa.
It's totally equipped! I'll be curious what customers want XLE and what ones want XLE Premium. Jeff
@@Toyotajeff I remember your video on the '18 RAV and how the XLE could be optioned out to nearly that of what the Limited models were. But able to save a few dollars. Mark.
Mark Smith I hope your bank account is well equipped.
40k for a rav4 toyota is price gauging now lol.

Thanks for such an awesome detailed video Jeff!!!!
I bought Limited today
LOVE LOVE IT.
Editha Parris do you still love it 6 months later?
Love your videos this helps me decide on witch car to buy and I love my Toyota
You should do a video showing all the colors the 2019 Rav4 offers, and another one showing all the trim levels:)
Great suggestions....and please trust me, both are on the list!!! Thanks for watching...jeff
Hello Jeff what is the difference of Toyota Rav4 XLE AWD if its made in Canda or Japan ...please let me know .. thank you and have a good day..
What makes it a premium? Is it the different packages?
Does the Toyota RAV4 have tire pressure monitor system with direct readout on the screen like the Toyota Camry
Is it better to buy Toyota Rav 4 hybrid XLE premium loaded with all packages or buy Limited without any package?
Does it have navigation except applecarplay?
Does the drivers seat go back farther than the 2018? I tried it and think it does. This is a huge difference and hasn't been mentioned by anyone. Why do do rear seats not recline? Why did they remove the netting rack in the trunk? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Happy new year Jeff
I just subscribed, very interesting videos dedicated to Toyota...
A big Hi from Algeria
Why the premium have different package
Hi Jeff, question- XLE Premium trims are made in Japan or China? Is any difference between the color and country of manufactured
Does this come in the Lunar Rock colour Jeff??
got mine last week from toyota berkeley ca
silver xle hybrid
love it

Does anybody know the durability and quality of the synthetic leather?
It is more durable than the real
So...The OTD should be around 37K to 38K? It seems that it won't have discount for this car recently, am i right? Thanks.
That’s a pretty good guess. It really depends on your state sales tax. For example North Carolina only charges 3% for sales tax on cars. Jeff
@@Toyotajeff I live in TN. Could I know whether you will have discount for this recently or not? Yes if, i may go to your shop. Thanks.
Borui CUI no sorry no discount this month! They just came out 2 weeks ago. What kind of discount were you asking for though? Jeff
@@Toyotajeff OK. I got it. I am not asking special discount (I am not military man). Thanks.
Borui CUI text me at 919-740-7294 and I will be glad to help you if you would seriously consider buying from me :) ... jeff
I don't see any remote start option on this model. How would you start the Rav4 remotely? Thanks
It’s remote start I have one
Hello Jeff can you please Give Reveiw on Rav4 XLE AWD model 2019.. and the Car is being ASSEMBLED in CANADA. Because what you are giving over veiw is mostly JAPAN made.. thank you and I will be looking unto it..
louis binwag most are japan built. Others are canada. Most new corollas are japan built as well. Same with 4runners. My 18 se camry is japan made.
I’m bent between either a Subaru Crosstrek Limited or a Toyota RAV4 Adventure. Would you say that the RAV4 has more towing capacity than the Crosstrek? I’m planning on getting a motorcycle in the future and I want something that can handle the weight of one.
Dude... A SUZUKI GSXR 1000 only weighs 450 pounds... what kind of motorcycle are you getting that either of those 2 vehicles can't????
can you request to swap out the wheels for the adventure wheels?
Did you mention it was only fwd? I realized it first with gas mileage second with price and 3rd with no snow driving function.
Frankie Av no, all RAV4 models have FWD or AWD option.
Yash Patel I know. That’s my point.
Does any of these models come with an automatic starter whether by app or key ring?
Kendall Alston mine xle came with the auto starter it’s optional thou
@@sammmyds39 ok thanks. I was curious because I didnt see that as an option on the website. Thanks!
Hello, Jeff. Do you see any potential problems if an owner had aftermarket hood insulation installed?
Hector Cepeda Of course! It could be installed wrong, could interfere with other moving parts, could fall off and cause trouble, could violate warranty, could cause fire lol fire 🔥. I would never suggest that. But it’d also your car too...jeff

Good work Jeff. Question..On the XLE Premium the digital rear view mirror is an option included with which package?
NewOrleansMan 70179 it’s included I bough this same car you will be happy with it very roomy the cargo area is big as well very sexy looking car
@@sammmyds39 so which seats are included, leather or cloth?
How do you update WAZE and Google map?
Great question! Those apps update automatically. You add them on your smart phone and then you can update through your smart phone occasionally if they need to be updated. They will automatically be added to your Apple CarPlay screen or second screen. Jeff
lol i wish i was there during the editing and see which scenes you deleted
You wouldn’t even believe some of the mess-ups and bloopers I get myself into haha...jeff

@@MiguelLopez-fh7vx 3k is a big deal for that feature
THAT is the deal breaker ? no power seats ?
Get another car whiner.
Jeff do a video on that red 4 runner in the rear view mirror.
Haha I’ll have to go back and check out the one you mean. 4Runner is due in the rotation for a video soon anyway...jeff
Stop start?
Ground Clearance is actually 8.6 inches with the 19s
Brian Hey Brian! Thank you for catching my mistake. You were absolutely right. All 19 inches are 8.6. The hybrids are 8.1. Sorry for the mess up...jeff
The same ugly buttons for the heated seats were in my 2009 Acura NSX! And it's not fully loaded or it would have the ventilated seats too! 😁
Obviously it’s not as fully loaded as the highest trim level of any brand ever, but it’s loaded for the XLE Premium! haha thanks for watching! Jeff
No pocket on the driver side is so weird to me.
I really like it but the tires seems too small.
Are you sure? They are 19” on the XLE Premium...jeff
@@Toyotajeff You are right Jeff.
Yea I know they are 19" but by the pic they look small.
geo cape good point...maybe because it’s sitting in the wet grass
@geo cape Hm. Looks like it. I'd suggest googling up a side view image of the RAV4 for a better perspective.
😂 you are amazing 👍
Thanks haha...not sure I deserve that but hey I’ll take it woohoooo!! Jeff
@@Toyotajeff I said that because the way you present is different and new and you have a cheerful spirit

Lens hood..... please
How work with carplay?
Plug your phone up with the the usb cord
Did it get android auto update?
Test drove XLE and although it was a nice, comfortable ride I could not get past the LOUD 🔊🔊 engine noise. Toyota must do better.
Jeff how tall are you ?
Hey Matt I’m 5’8”
# Notification squad!
You're on point as always Mark! Jeff
Did he say let's check out my neighbourhood
How much to lease that at 35k?
Great question! Unfortunately I cannot answer that because there are too many factors involved in your question. It’s a depends on what your region’s leasing rate is. It depends on your credit history. It depends on how long your lease will be. It depends on how much money you have down.
I can tell you it won’t be a low payment lol
Just got 1 very good deal 29300 after taxs fee 33300👍🏻
Love my xle premium with jbl
Ali Jamili Does xle premium with jbl provide navigation option too beside apple carplay?
Teddy Yoon I don’t believe so. I tried to see if it does but it didn’t work.
Teddy Yoon I don’t believe so. I tried to see if it does but it didn’t work.

My mind to set up appt . At Nissan now u made me think again...
Not a bad price!!
XLE vs XLE premium. Pros and cons
Why no sound proofing material??? Whats up toyota.. thats a deal breaker..
nope. i like the adventure model premium. AWD baby!

No real leather for that price, next
Edward Conner that’s been the case since 2013, why would Toyota change that now?
