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 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.

absolutely stunning,and the rav 4 aint bad either

Im confused abt this and mazda cx-5 not sure what to get. As rav4 are assembled in other countries now so not sure if that will effect reliability

If the hybrid battery runs flat, does it still have AWD capability? Sounds like the engine only powers the front wheels?

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 !

I love mine but the battery is always showing half full, is there a technical problem with the battery? No matter the length or style of my driving

Best car to come on the market for a long time I must say from the reviews

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.

For your well written and positive review I will definitely be buying one of these. Thanks. Oh and it is miles better in most areas than the other suv's as it really needs a big guy to to drive it😉

Thankfully there’s been an apple update for airplay.. otherwise i wouldn’t consider this. Going to test drive it for sure

Is the cat standard as well?

Hi ! What better; rv4 or evoque?

Toyota RAV4 superb looking car and mostly masculine , well done Toyota I’m using one

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

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

is no one going to point out the adorable little cat

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.

Make a comparison video of the new rav 4 and the Mazda x5

Hyundai Tuscon Highlander N line. I love your cat. So regal.

im interested in getting the cat - is he for sale

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.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming to Toyotas in RHD markets with the latest Entune infotainment systems in 2020. Available as retrofit (including at no cost in Australia for the RAV4) for the 2019 Corolla, Camry and RAV4. The 2020 C-HR comes with it.

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.

Why the RAV4 in Australia have all matt finish black plastic trims around the car?

Toyota just announced that there is going to be a mid cycle refresh for the RAV4 I wonder what they will change 🧐

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.

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.

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.

It's nice to drive actually and quite fast

I want the kitty. 😺 When Toyota upgrades the interior and front end design I will want one. At least the hybrid system keeps getting better. Maybe next gen will average 45 mpg US gallons. Will next gen batteries weigh less but with same performance? Hope so. The PHEV RAV4 is coming some time this year, will be great for people with short commutes and a place to charge.

really nice review, love it, spot on, that beautiful voice and smile is back, the skirt is terrible.

6:22 don't know why but lol at that

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 a fraction under 52mph from our Rav4, which I consider pretty good.
