I notice from your videos, when its natural engine kicks in, the RAV4 Hybrid is better sounding and slightly quieter than the CR-V's engine. It's definitely quieter than the regular RAV4's engine. Plus, with just the electric motors pulling it's extremely quiet. That combined with better fuel mileage makes the RAV4 Hybrid the winner for me. Thanks for making these videos. It's the second best thing to test driving myself.
I'm purchasing one. Hybrid with plug in. Question: how do I make it ONLY use the electric engine? I mean, could I speed up to the limit and only be using the electric engine? or does it use electricity up to a certain point of speed and then passing that point, goes with gas? Just curious as it's about a couple months until I get the car.
@@christiandasilva9435 No. It's still a hybrid.
@@christiandasilva9435 The Plug-in Hybrid RAV4 that you’re getting has an EV only mode near the center console. It’s only good for about 40 miles
2.5 engine helps over a 2 litre in the CRV
I gotta say, the reliability on these RAV4s are outstanding!
Love Toyotas a lot.
Cheap, reliable, good quality, not too shabby interior or design, safe and probably the most sporty Rav4 since the V6 option.
Soo clean 😭
iAmCoded ikr
I want the new rav 4 so much 😭
I swear this is thetopher
It is. TheTopher works(drives) for Winding Road Magazine, while maintaining his own. The main difference is on his channel he talks during the drives, and here he does not.
Kayaze yeah it is, he works for them.
@@northcarolinadashcam549 👍
Love!
Even when it's a hybrid, even better.
Just a little request, I hope ull show ur speed from time to time on the screen 😉
Check out Mazda 5 AWD. They get good ratings and a lot less money.
I'll wait until Toyota gives it a mid cycle refresh. Maybe they'll add more sound deadening in the engine bay.
Waiting for RAV4 prime with 302 hp!
Drive one for yourself. It's well insulated.
@@Lucky8s I will. Thanks.
I drove it...ended up getting 30mpgs easily. However, I was let down by the number of rattles and not so solid feeling body
We just purchased a Limited and it didn’t have any rattles and felt solid. I cannot say anything for the 2019 but the 2020 felt very nice. Not to mention the little details in the RAV4 hybrid are amazing like the rubber grip on the backs of the handles for the doors on the interior and the texture for the nooks and crannies and cup holders to grip things. I love the leather like material in the interior trim too. We have this and a 2020 Prius Prime Limited and I thing both are among the best in their classes.
@@natalie2070 The model I test drove was a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid. I've also driven a 2020 4Runner, 2018 RAV4, 2018 Tacoma, and 2017 Highlander XLE. To me, the level of refinement and degree of torsional rigidity of the new RAV4 was a notable step down from the prior model, and definitely from the Highlander. And based on the reviews I've read on various auto forums, publications, and the like, I'm not alone in this view. All told, it's not a bad vehicle, but plainly, Toyota could have done better. The latest recalls are further evidence of that.
@@phronesismeister
I think you may have driven a poorly manufactured RAV4. I bought a gas only 2020 RAV4 and it has no rattles, squeaks, creaking or any ear piercing noise. The body and transmission are solid.
That is my dad’s favourite car toyota and toyota hybrid rav4 2020is hes dream car hes saving for it now maybe the end of the month he will get it
Wow nice care but so much road and engine noise. My 2011 Kia Sorento is quieter...Damn
Actually, the engine noise is not that bad when you're not heavy on the gas.
Same can be said about the gas only model. It's really quiet in every day use and exceptionally smooth when you progressively rev it out.
@@Lucky8s I rented a gas only model last year and only found it noisy when passing others on the highway. After a while it got tiring. I'm hoping the hybrid is, at least, a little better.
@@TheLanard
I haven't found engine noise to be a problem on my 20 RAV4. Road noise on rough roads at high speeds is somewhat annoying.
@@Lucky8s That can be fixed by purchasing different tires. I changed the tires on my '19 Kia Optima from OEM Kumhos to Michelin CrossClimates. It made a huge improvement in road noise AND traction.
@@TheLanard
I actually picked a 2020 RAV4 with Michelin Primary tires. The traction is exceptional in Canadian winter. It drove flawlessly on snow and ice, which was pleasingly surprising. The road noise still isn't the best. Noise on rough roads at highway speeds are a bit loud and grainy.
How is the sound set when the door is locked?
Im leaning towards the xle but the limited looks a lil better with the chrome bar in the grill. just cant afford extra 5k for the limited
To me, it doesn't make sense to drop an extra 5k for the Limited model and not even get real leather seating.
2020 Hyundai Palisade out the Toyota Rav4!
Awesome review and a nice car.
Will Toyota release a RAV4 GR Sports?
Check the RAV4 Prime. It's already on sale. 302 hp with a 0-60 mph of 5.7s (Car and Driver got it down to 5.4s)
Nice
3:00 In Europe Apple Carplay respectively Android Auto isn't unfortunately available!
I've been trying to find information on the fact that they will make this a free update before the end of this year. Nothing so far. Calling Toyota client service is useless. They don't have any information.
@@Browzer01 Both are available in Canada for the 2020 MY cars
@@Lucky8s Thank you for that response. Mine was made in Canada and flown over to France.It's the AWD Hybrid wth 222hp with ALL the bells and whistles. Do NOT get the leather and alcantara seats as you lose the 2 memory settings for the drivers seat and cooling seats option. Anyway, I'll wait until they say something.
Please tell me that big bulky screen moves down somewhat or folds down or something? I will never buy a car with a screen that’s basically sitting on my dash. No way. 🤢
I don't see the "limited" to this thing.
Air noise is disturbingly loud 😠
I wonder if the Rav4 Hybrid would be even more efficient if they used a lithium ion battery rather than a nickel metal hydride battery?
Nickle metal Hydride batteries perform much better in the cold and degrade much less at extreme temperatures. That is why they are used in this Rav4.
road quality was surprisingly poor
Yeah that's Michigan roads for sure!
All I see is a bunch of people driving their GM crap.
Bruh a car is a car as long as you can afford one
@@kartelmtapeli9288 yup they're pretty much all the same these days.
Do not buy this car. I have one there is a problem with the gas tank. Filling it and the gas gauge. Toyota has no fix yet. Be sure the gas tank works before purchase!
Dave Tindall have you brought this to the attention of your local Toyota dealership. The sensor may be bad. I work at the Toyota Auto Manufacturering plant that builds these. You have a warranty.
@@cordondrebrandenburg626 I have many times and they still tell me there is no fix. I got my monthly call from Toyota Corp. Tuesday updating me that there is still no fix. And they are well aware of the problem.
Hi you my fav hi and bye!
Good God, it sounds exactly like my Prius. No surprise I guess but it's not a good thing that's for sure.
There something wrong with that display..It's not responsive and not smooth.. We live in 2020!
Please blazer rs
Alejandro Giraldo
Nobody cares about “blazer”
For every blazer I see on the street I see probably 200 new RAV4’’s
Blazer is like Blickbuster Video store.
@@jackp2563 what do you think of the mazda cx5?
Alejandro Giraldo amazing beautiful car
Richard Lopez no that’s the Chevy Tahoe, the blazer is disgusting.
👍💖 red. Is my favorite color SUV
I arrive early😆
Om g
Is it fast enough?
More than enough.
I can’t decide for $40K: rav4 hybrid limited or v6 Camry
@@naveenkrishnamurthy7576
If you don't need AWD, then V6 Camry is going to be a very comfortable family car and sleeper. Also keep in mind that if you want exceptional fuel economy, RAV4 hybrid is the way to go.
Dennis Xu how about Camry hybrid vs rav4 hybrid? What would you choose?
Dennis Xu On my case, I want SUV but i hate 4 cylinder and CVT.
The cabin noise is horrible.........
I think you might really need to do a test drive yourself to be sure if you’re interested in this car or any other car...cuz this RAV4 doesn’t make this much cabin noise like in the video...I only notice minor wind noise ?
Yeah, is really limited by the speed and quality 😂 😂 😂 😂
El Gran Freezer You werent first, his comment was 4 minutes ago and yours was 2 mins ago.
The hybrid version of this car might not be your sport car fast, but it's decently quick for an SUV. Go test drive one of these to check out for yourself
0-60 in 8 sec isn't bad for this car lol
@@AgentSmith911
It's actually 7.4s for the hybrid. Even better.
Btw first comment
TheRobloxPlayer22 _ Nope, I won you loser.

This is a non-review. It would be a better non-review if you had me in the vehicle and you and I said nothing to each other.
