    Toyota won't go Turbo because the pressure shortens the lifespan of the engine and its seals. And People buy Toyotas for comfort, efficiency, and reliability. not speed.

    • @zzanatos2001
      @zzanatos2001 5 лет назад +112

      I agree. Toyota maintains their legendary reputation for reliability and longevity by building engines capable of 500 horsepower, then de-tuning them to make 250 horsepower. It's a formula that has kept Toyota at the top of the sales charts for decades.

      Plus they have no need to make turbos because they are already dominating the markets with their current models. They can if they want but they won’t.

And it's no surprise that I like this new-looking RAV4 given that I own a 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail. This is the most aggressive the RAV4 has ever looked. They are getting that look (at least the front end) from the 4Runner.

    I had a 2006 RAV and loved it! Drove it across country within 2 weeks after I bought it and it was the perfect vehicle for our trip. It was a V-6...yes they made a few V-6 2006 models. I've been holding out for Toyota to make the V-6 RAV again but so far no luck. I lost mine in a car accident in 2015. It was in perfect condition with over 220k and I expected to get at least another 100k if an accident hadn't taken her from me. Mine did have the spare on the back so it had amazing under storage in the cargo area. I'm an avid hiker and could carry all my gear in the under storage along with the usual first aid kit and such, leaving the entire cargo area for every day use. I'm rambling because I loved mine so much. I really like the look of this one but still hoping for a V-6 in the future.

But yes, the Toyota vinyl upholstery is nicer than the Toyota mouse-fur cloth upholstery. The Toyota vinyl never shows wear or gets an odor.

    I personally test drove 2019 RAV4 two weeks ago to buy the XLE-premium trim just to get the blind spot monitoring system. Just few seconds after we started, I got disappointed! The engine noise was so horrible that I asked the dealer guy whether or not we could go back to the dealership right then ! I have no idea why the new RAV4 engine is screaming so loud during the initial acceleration. Also, the driver seat cushion was slightly short for me as a 6’ tall man. On the positive side however, the suspension was great. It could dampen the bumps even better than 2018 Cadillac XT5 I had some experience with earlier. At the end I ended up in another SUV, mainly because of the aforementioned noisy 2.5L engine and slow acceleration. My final word: make sure you test drive it carefully before making up your minds. Don’t spend ~ $ 30k of your money without test driving 2019 RAV4.

    Why no 3.5 V6 option from the Camry or the 2.0 T option from the Lexus NX on this vehicle to live up to its sporty looks? I would gladly pay the extra $ but I am guessing it would be a bad business decision for Toyota because of CAFE regulations and I would be “one of the 5%” in the market who would actually pony up for this option. The recent article from TFL car is right. Toyota is all about reliability and efficiency for the masses and not about driving performance and it has been that way for years

    Glad to see the new RAV4 is improved. I seriously thought of getting a RAV4 but after having a 2016 RAV4 as a dealer loaner it seemed tippy and noisy. I traded my 2007 Forester instead on a cert-pre-owned 2015 Camry LE off a 2 year lease with 23k miles w/ included 7yr/100k power train warr. I got it for $15,500 because sedans aren't in demand anymore. An equivalent year & model RAV4 was $3k more. Good to know RAV4 is a better vehicle day.

    Who else remembers when the RAV4 used to be a compact SUV, this thing is nearly the same size as the 1st gen Highlander!

    I like the new looks ! Gives you that rhaaawww first impression. Definately beats the current generation CRV to me. Can you show us how it handles in deep snow? I know for sure the new Forester handles very well(they have a deep snow mode) and i want to compare the two. Reliability/safety are the most important thing for a suv.

    This is a great video. I just got a 2012 Toyota RAV4 Limited Edition and I love the 3.5 L V6 mine came with. Thank you for your great work.
