2019 Toyota Rav4 XLE Premium Package Review of Features and Test drive
2019 Toyota Rav4 XLE Premium Package Review of Features and Test drive
With its powerful style, dynamic performance, and exceptionally refined and enviably‑equipped interior, RAV4 Limited elevates the everyday to help you make the most of every moment. Available in gas and, starting in Spring, 2019, as a hybrid model.
Whether you’ve chosen a new road, or making the most out of the one you’re on, our most refined RAV4 helps you get the most out of every journey.
RAV4 LE AWD features, plus:
Power Moonroof & Power Back Door
Dual Zone Automatic Air Conditioning
Smart Key System
Heated Leather Steering Wheel
Available XLE Premium Package
ALL-NEW
EXTERIOR STYLE
Built on Toyota’s revolutionary new platform, the all-new RAV4 brings a new level of energy to the segment with its powerful stance and chiseled appearance. Looks that are far more than skin deep, with a longer wheelbase and wider track for a stable, confident drive; short overhangs and high ground clearance to help tackle most any terrain.
Rugged on the outside, refined on the inside. RAV’s cabin is set off by its spacious feel, premium materials, harmonious layout, and accommodating features - including available 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, available driver seat memory, available front and rear heated seats, and available ventilated front seats.
Take in more. Take on more. 60/40 folding rear seats are ready to accommodate most everything you’ll need for that weekend getaway.
Standard on every 2019 RAV4, EntuneTM 3.0 Audio keeps you connected to the content that matters to you - like Slacker, Yelp, Sports, Stocks, Fuel, Weather, Traffic Incident News and NPR One apps.
Entune 3.0 Audio Plus adds EntuneTM Safety Connect including Stolen Vehicle Locator, Emergency Assistance (SOS) button, Enhanced Roadside Assistance and Automatic Collision Notification. Available on Trail, XLE Premium (gas) and XSE Hybrid.
For vehicles not equipped with embedded navigation, Entune also features ScoutTM GPS Link -- a smartphone based navigation system that sends route information directly to your vehicle’s display screen.
The 2019 RAV4 works with Apple CarPlayTM -- a smart and easy way to use your iPhone while driving.
Simply connect a compatible iPhone through a USB outlet, and select apps appear on your vehicle’s touch screen. Using Siri voice commands, steering wheel audio controls, or the touch screen, you can make phone calls, send text messages, call up your favourite playlist, use maps to find the best route, and more -- all while keeping your focus on the road.
Enjoy easy access to RAV4’s large cargo area with an available power back door. On Trail and XLE models, the back door is opened and closed with the push of the button on the key fob. On Limited models, the hands-free power back door is operated with a wave of your foot under the rear bumper.
Available Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control
Available Smart Key System
Eco Drive Monitor
RAV4 AWD LE and AWD XLE feature an active torque all wheel drive system that shifts from front wheel drive to all wheel drive as soon as the system senses wheel slippage. You save on fuel when the going is good, and get enhanced traction the moment you need it. Seamlessly and automatically.
Multi-Terrain Select
Answer the call of the wild. Multi-Terrain Select takes RAV4’s highly evolved four-wheel drive performance to a new level. The system allows you to select from four modes then regulates wheel spin accordingly to give you maximum traction on the most challenging terrain -- including mud, sand, rocks, and dirt. Standard on all AWD gas models.
Dynamic Force Engine
Powered by a new 2.5-litre 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine, RAV4 gas models put more power at your disposal, while getting more out of every litre. Paired to a direct shift 8-speed automatic transmission, RAV4 delivers sportier acceleration, better fuel economy, and a smoother more responsive ride.
Dynamic Torque Vectoring All Wheel Drive
RAV4 Trail and Limited (gas only) feature Dynamic Torque Vectoring All Wheel Drive with Rear Driveline Disconnect. A Toyota first, the system can send up to 50% of engine torque to the rear wheels, plus distribute it to the left or right rear wheel for exceptional control. When it isn’t needed, the system ingeniously transmits all driving force to the front wheels -- reducing energy loss, improving fuel efficiency, and smoothing out the ride.
Should the unexpected or unavoidable occur, RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid help cushion the blow with a network of eight strategically placed airbags, including: dual stage airbags for driver and passenger, driver’s knee, passenger seat cushion and front and rear side curtain airbags.
or added safety and peace of mind, all 2019 models feature Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). BSM alerts you to the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes that may have escaped visibility in your side-view mirrors. While RCTA warns you about hazards you can’t see while backing up.

I had one RAV4-2009 over350K V6 still driving daily try trade in & wait 2020.:)
Does the axle cold weather pack,,,have heated mirrors?
I traded my 2018 Rav4 Limited bought 0ctober 18 ... 19 XLE Premium ... told them I wanted as close what I had on my limited.. came as close specs... both at 30k just 18 had end year incentive discount, which 19 had discount as well if getting a loan (1,125 usd) ... have heated stirring wheels on my premium which I did not on Limited... I paid xtra for rust undercoating, water repellent interior and 3M coated on hood on my 18 but they gave me free car starter part of negotiation bec. I told sale guy I'll wait for the 19 that's why gave it free starter to buy it.... couple weeks ago with trade from my old to new I told them I put xtra on all weather package and starter... they put it on for free on all those items including the starter on my XLE which was a great deal... what not they didn't know I got the starter free from my limited. This may not be Hybrid... but saves more gas than my Limited!
Bought mine a month ago, same thing, except mine has runners. Hell yeah
This is the PREMIUM WITH ALL WEATHER PACKAGE BY THE WAY.
any issues on backdoors?
No heated seats 🥺
No options for manual?

@@RedRubyG you're right! I deleted my comment. I could have sworn the Rav4 had it when I test drove it. I test drove quite a few in the last 3 weeks. But you can get the app for starting it. Many Asian brands moved away from putting them in because of air quality concerns in Asian countries, I know that much. In US, it's not been an issue yet. I've always had them in vehicles and they are priceless in winters.
