I disagree with a lot of what you say about this car. I drove the Rav4 2020 back in November 2019 on a 1,400 mile round trip from London to Scotland. I had the car on ECO the whole time and never felt under powered even going up steep mountain hills. There was bags of power. Unlike you, I found the engine noise very satisfying. Handling was excellent and the car always felt absolutely solid! The only thing that let this car down was the Media and SatNav (GPS) system. I think the outside is ugly but as I spent 99% of the time looking from the inside, I didn't care. Visibility was excellent and the reverse camera was one of the best I've used. The car "says" it comes with a SatNav but it's completely useless! DON'T WHATEVER YOU DO, RELY ON THIS FOR LONG DRIVES. It's clunky and laggy reaction is not the worst thing. The SatNav did not recognise half the places we wanted to go to. Moreover, coming off the A66 and onto the the A1(M) heading south, the SatNav froze and was completely useless. Had we been relying on this and not Google Maps and Waze on our mobile phones, we would have been in terrible trouble. Even when we stopped for an hour at a service station, when we got back to the car, it was still frozen, showing our position 60 miles back. When we reached London, it still thought it was in Scotch Corner! It wasn't until we came to give the car back the next day, did the SatNav magically return to life. Toyota ought to be totally ashamed and embarrassed by this Media system which feels like something out of the early 1990s.
I use Waze anyway so not swayed either way. I have a Pruis Excel and the media system is the same as you describe..... ..... well you can't have it all unless you are prepared to spend a minimum of 80 grand.
I have a 2020 XLE hybrid in the US and it has android auto and carplay. I use the Android auto, plug my phone in right away when I get inand when I start the car it starts right up on Android Auto. It works perfect and I really like the RAV4.
I just got my, fewcdays ago and I must say f... love it. I'm always BMW car person but I must agreed with others is comfortable, quick enough plenty space for my family 2+2,and spacefull for going on holiday. And so far with normal driving ,sometimes racing 😋 I get easy 55 mpg so that better then any of my cars till now.
I hate reviews that talk bull, the panel moved when you pressed the button all while saying it has great build quality and you sit in the back as a short person saying it has bags of room when it clearly doesn't, try comparing it the the Skoda Kodiak again when talking quality and space.... Why not just be honest? The whole reason WHAT Magazine's and their now media accounts exist is because they were once impartial places where you found the honest reviews, sadly this hasn't been the case for a while. Shocking video stopped 4 minutes in. Think i'll go watch Bob Flavin now and get an honest car review.
I only sat in one today having dismissed them as an oversized tank. However, since there is still no sign of the Corolla Cross arriving in the U.K. I am getting more tempted. The front of the C-HR (driving position etc) is perfect for me but I wouldn't want to subject anyone to the back seats.
ive now done 90,000 miles in my 2020, never let me down average fuel consumption is 54mpg with the boot full of my work gear , I use android Auto for satnav linked to the built in system and it works perfectly, I'd defiantly have another one
Generally fair, although the same old cliche of it being noisy when floored and not 'relaxing' show me any car that isn't noisy under full power! And no one should be too 'relaxed' when driving foot to the floor. Another plus is it has a spare wheel onboard (as long as you don't order the all glass roof). I agree the CR-V narrowly has the better ride and powertrain, handling is even. Toyota wins on BIK tax, cheaper lease rates combined. If I was buying private I would take the CR-V, if buying company car, Toyota. My RAV arrives soon.
The car looks beautiful, also as commented by someone else at "1:47 that panel jumping out doesn't really scream quality though. " It isn't the panel jumping out but a focusing issue of the camera/recording, as pointed out by another commenter. The Rav 4 looks stunning and is a very reliable car. Inshallah my next car lol
I just bought this car, than newer model I’ll get it in September so I can get the new 70 plate I bought the Excel model meaning it’s got all the specs inside it ... I even have screen mirroring in it !
*** Correction*** apple CarPlay and Android auto standard on all Uk models and has been for 2020 and 2021built vehicles. Previous builds can be updated to include it.
i thought so, but if you watch it again, you will se that the whole image is shaking when she says "dials" even the armrest and her fingers, is most probably a camera lens/zoon effect, have a look carefully
Toyota can't make enough of the Hybrids to keep up with the North American demand. Taking delivery of a Limited Hybrid in Toronto area in about 3 weeks
I agree. Most of the readers have not driven it and the reviewer just left a biased negative review. So, she created a bunch of haters. Sad, she mentioned a lot of positives, but used a lot of negative words like cheap, difficult to understand and low quality.
But this car will keep running till 2039 and beyond. All the ones with apple car play or android auto will be rattling and breaking down within 5 years. 8-10 years they will be in scrap. Peugeots will struggle to pass MOT past 3-4 years mark.
i was expecting it to be not so comfortable - it only weighs 1600 kgs and has big heavy SUV wheels - the unsprung mass vs the total mass of the car. i was honestly hoping that the suspension makes up for that. my MY15 Auris hybrid still uses less than what Toyota says (3.6 l/100km at the pump). CVT doesn't bother me, on the contrary, when hearing other engines shift gears, i do find them underreved.
Glad to see Rebecca Jackson back!, no rain can’t stop her to do an amazing review as always, used to follow her in another RUclips car review channel :-)
Yet another reviewer who doesn't like or understand the concept of CVT transmission. We had it on our Civic hybrid, and now have it on our Yaris hybrid and our Lexus hybrid. In my opinion It works very well. Toyota DO now include Android Auto on the Rav 4. We also have it on our Yaris and it works very well. That's as long as your phone is fairly up to date and you use the correct lead. Above all, the RAV is more reliable than any of the other makes mentioned. I'm getting just over 53 mpg from my Rav4.
The RAV4 actually handles very well thanks to its stiff chassis … unlike the kodiaq which shuffles when going round low speed corners making u feel sick The RAV4 is much lighter too
Is possible to deactivate the backseat sensors. My aunt sits in the back and the chime is very loud. Its also very sensitive. She had her hand leaned on the side and the sensors of the middle seat detected her hand😄 its begund a loud chiming. I mean such sensors are now in many cars so the people wo dont want to fasten in the backseat have a hard time. But toyota rav4 has the most annoying chime.
She obviously prefers Honda to Toyota. When it comes down to build quality and reliability Toyota just has the edge. The Toyota warranty is far better though. All models now come with Android Auto, which is great for voice controlled navigation. There's nothing wrong with the infotainment, it works very well. In common with all other reviewers she doesn't understand how the CVT transmission works, so doesn't like it. We are getting just over 52mpg from our Rav4, which I consider pretty good.
Reports disclose that the 2019 and 2020 Toyota RAV4 hybrids have defective gas tanks that will not fill to full capacity. Viewers please check out RUclips complaints about this problem. Major news networks reported that the car dealers are not informing customers about the defective gas tank before the car is purchased.
I have now owned my RAV4 XLE HYBRID for all of 3 weeks. Sorry, if I rain on your parade, BUT I am NOT enthusiastic about this car. To start with, you pay for all sorts of options, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SOME OF THEM REQUIRE YOU TO PAY A MONTHLY FEE TO USE THEM. THAT IS NOT MADE CLEAR DURING THE SALES PROCESS. There is a thing called SCOUT GPS LINK, the salesman was very vague on his description of that feature. After 3 weeks I am STILL NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT DOES. One thing I do know IT IS NOT A GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM. On that point in order to use YOUR SMART PHONE for navigation, you will of course incur DATA CHARGES ON THE PHONE WHEN NAVIGATING. BUT SCOUT GPS LINK IS FREE for 3 years, then TOYOTA CHARGES YOU $25 a year to use it. I did NOT find that out until AFTER I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR. Then there are the charges for other FEATURES like remote CONNECT. The information panel directly in front of the driver is VERY difficult to read in bright sunlight, you need to CONCENTRATE on it but that takes too much time and is dangerous. The same panel is a delight to read when I am sitting in the car in my garage but not in bright sunlight. So if I limit my driving to tours around my garage THINGS WILL BE FINE. Entertainment System is BLAH. There is more, much more. However now for the good news, my average fuel consumption IS CURRENTLY 37.5 MPG and climbing. The radar enhanced Cruise Control is great, the car slows and accelerates all on its own. Auto headlight dimming is AWSOME. Right now I am regretting trading in my 2013 Acura RDX, I should have spent the additional $8-9k and bought a new RDX. A FAR SUPERIOR CAR.
Is Australia getting the RAV4 Black Edition at all and if yes, when is it coming here? I see it is already launched in US and Europe and looks stunning.
Infotainment has 1980 buttons perfer cx5 one knob on console. Buttons had to push not on cx5. In Daylight screen is faded hard to see screen daytime. Bright screen for daytime driving only on cx5. Failed Moose test dangerious. CX5 past moose test. Cx5 hugs the road. Mazda should make a hybred its way overdue.
I just purchased the Hybrid XLE, a very nice car BUT not too happy about the Gas tank issue. I don’t know if it was mentioned here but the gas tank only allows about 11 gallons when it is empty. This is a flaw that’s annoying a lot of people me included it. I have called Toyota and they don’t have a solid answer yet, the only thing they did was asking me to take the car to the dealer so they can confirm the problem. When I went to the dealer I have to insist and ask for the service manager, the guy was denying he ever heard of the issue and told me they don’t do that type of services after spoken with the manager they agreed to do the services, and admitted I was not the only one showing up or asking about this issue. It’s not a big deal but Toyota is advertising that the vehicle can go for 570 miles with a full tank but that is not the case, mine when going around 400 but that’s because the tank only gets around 11 gallons. Other than that, a FINE vehicle.
Is it such a bad thing that you can't be messing with trying to mirror your phone while you're driving. I reckon Toyota have got it spot on, leave the f*#£ing phone in the glove box!!
Wow lots of haters in these comments 😔 Seems UK reviewers always give the Rav4 a tough review. As the world's top selling SUV it's obviously doing something right. I think this SUV has rugged good looks (like a baby 4runner), drive's very quietly in town and handles potholes & poor roads exceptionally well! A very practical purchase with good passenger & cargo storage, legendary Toyota reliability and resale value. I'd guess UK doesn't like this Rav4 as it's more expensive there. I paid $39,100 CAD all in for my Rav4 XSE hybrid (24,000 GBP).
I've had the previous model for 3 years , just ordered the new one. have owned french cars, would never have another. Designed by people that hate engineers.
Hybrid cars are not designed to stay & doomed to fail. After all why carry two power train every where , pay two maintenance, pay for two fuels, two headaches only to achieve one objective !!! And yet damage environment as there is no Tomorrow...Total madness. I guess taxi drivers & those travelling more than 300 miles a day could benefit from Hybrid cars.
They should have used the Lithium Ion batteries found in the base Camry LE and not Nickel. Cost savings. Would have gotten about 4 more MPG. (USA) Should be KM in all countries.
All about Apple Car Play and Android Auto, blah blah blah, it is coming but I am looking forward to using the Mirrorlink of the Entune 3 system which gives as much if not more than the former. Why does no one know about this, ah, they really do not know the vehicle that well at all!!!!!!! I test drove the RAV for a day and have not driven a car that is better in this class, thus ordered and looking forward to getting mine mid October.
If you’re looking for a company car under £40K with a big boot and slightly less obscene BIK rates the options today are extremely limited. Once the software upgrade is available this is a good option. Regarding style, I think it looks great... just wish it was available with 20” rims.

That's madness. Someone's been asked very nicely to say nice things
Yeah that’s odd tbh the one I bought and the ones I test drove here in the US definitely never did that.
Toyota really need to sort out the infotainment system, it let's them down on all models.
Good review and what a lovely cat!
The corolla in Brazil already has both Android auto and apple car play. They say licensing in europe is what is holding the release back...
@@joseluislopes3956 Stupid EU
Good thing there is Apple CarPlay on the version i purchased....otherwise i'd go nuts with the default infotainment system's navigation..
apple car play now available in EU as well
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both included now.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who saw the whole panel flexed when she said the quality of the dials @ 1:48.
Dude first thing
Me too.....quality 😂

I was scrolling the comments looking to see if anyone else noticed that.
@Alberto Benelli I’ve watched a few times. It was definitely the panel
Wow lots of haters in the comments. Glad I live in Canada where Rav4 is much better received.
We have two factories making them so they better be.

is no one going to point out the adorable little cat
im interested in getting the cat - is he for sale
If the hybrid battery runs flat, does it still have AWD capability? Sounds like the engine only powers the front wheels?
The beautiful tones of Rebecca's voice, I'm sure she could sell any car.
"it could be a bit bigger" 3:44
1:49 "We really like the quality and feel of these dials" maybe so but the whole of the fascia panel moved when you pressed the switch
Lmfao just the comment I was looking for 🤣😅
That was a problem with the camera focus. The panel didn't move
“We really like the look and feel and quality of these dials”. Shame the same couldn’t be said about the panels.
Again Toyota no apple car play or android auto
It’s 2019!!!!!!
Apple car play in the US as well.
Not in Europe but you guys get full screen mirroring capabilities. Better then android auto/carplay!
James sorry no it isn’t better
I prefer not to rely on a cell phone- there could be connection issues, battery life or malfunctions. I rather pay for navigation.
But this car will keep running till 2039 and beyond. All the ones with apple car play or android auto will be rattling and breaking down within 5 years. 8-10 years they will be in scrap. Peugeots will struggle to pass MOT past 3-4 years mark.
3:04 umm... not sure if the brits are getting short changed, but here in Canada all 2020 Ravs get Android Auto and Apple Car Play
Thankfully there’s been an apple update for airplay.. otherwise i wouldn’t consider this. Going to test drive it for sure
i was expecting it to be not so comfortable - it only weighs 1600 kgs and has big heavy SUV wheels - the unsprung mass vs the total mass of the car. i was honestly hoping that the suspension makes up for that.
my MY15 Auris hybrid still uses less than what Toyota says (3.6 l/100km at the pump). CVT doesn't bother me, on the contrary, when hearing other engines shift gears, i do find them underreved.
Glad to see Rebecca Jackson back!, no rain can’t stop her to do an amazing review as always, used to follow her in another RUclips car review channel :-)
absolutely stunning,and the rav 4 aint bad either
definitely an upgrade from my 1998 camry
Ummmm, there is apple carplay and android auto is coming soon via a FOC software update......

The RAV4 actually handles very well thanks to its stiff chassis … unlike the kodiaq which shuffles when going round low speed corners making u feel sick
The RAV4 is much lighter too
A y UK owners experiencing trouble filling the fuel tank? Seems to be a major issue in the US.
The main console is a bit wobbly at 01:49
I thought the cat came with the car when it sauntered into the shot! 😂
No you only get a free cat with Skoda SUV models.
So whats the point of the hybrid system if you cans go over 20mph for lets say 100mls

After all why carry two power train every where , pay two maintenance, pay for two fuels, two headaches only to achieve one objective !!!
And yet damage environment as there is no Tomorrow...Total madness.
I guess taxi drivers & those travelling more than 300 miles a day could benefit from Hybrid cars.
Uninformed
Best car to come on the market for a long time I must say from the reviews
I love the cat making a special guest appearance
Won't stop me from buying 1
Yes it has a larger trunk but you forget to mention that it is not completely lie flat.
Toyota just announced that there is going to be a mid cycle refresh for the RAV4 I wonder what they will change 🧐
How is it for transporting big dogs?
Is that a London Olympic umbrella?
Best looking, definitely the RAV-4
"we really like the look and feel of these dials"
The panel breaks apart...
Dexterko yeah that’s odd, mines definitely never done that.
Lol and the plastic trim flexes like crazy as she presses them 😂 lot of conflicting information here
That cat was like......what's all this noise 😂😂😂😂.....oh it's only you. 😏
I would want to see more of that cat
Model tested is actually the Dynamic grade and not Design as stated in introduction.
1:47 Rugged SUV? That dashpiece was popping out with a simple button 😅😭
It's nice to drive actually and quite fast
Looks perfect! Can't say the same for the car though - now looks like a ford ranger copy.
Am I the only rolling after seeing this?!?
6:21 - 6:25 😂
Rav4 2019 xse is still fantastic
Model tested design??? Dynamic you mean
You should update the part about the infotainment- Apple Car Play, Android Auto and Miracast are all included and free retrofits.
They should have used the Lithium Ion batteries found in the base Camry LE and not Nickel. Cost savings. Would have gotten about 4 more MPG. (USA) Should be KM in all countries.
Rebecca, you look more beautiful than ever!
The Nigella of the car world 😍
That cat at the start tho
All about Apple Car Play and Android Auto, blah blah blah, it is coming but I am looking forward to using the Mirrorlink of the Entune 3 system which gives as much if not more than the former. Why does no one know about this, ah, they really do not know the vehicle that well at all!!!!!!! I test drove the RAV for a day and have not driven a car that is better in this class, thus ordered and looking forward to getting mine mid October.
Connectivity is just a moment of time.....the Corolla is now also with android auto and co.
The cat is why this review is above the others.
Single speed auto? Seriously? It is a CVT, means infinite speeds
Great video Rebecca 🇬🇧👍
If you’re looking for a company car under £40K with a big boot and slightly less obscene BIK rates the options today are extremely limited. Once the software upgrade is available this is a good option. Regarding style, I think it looks great... just wish it was available with 20” rims.
its almost as if no-one has ever driven a e-cvt ,its like playing a slot machine with gears also the infotainment is a decade old already
