2019 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

We bought the vehicle in Feb 2019. Have a little over 9k miles. So far, no issues in terms of breakdowns. Ride, mileage, safety features are very nice. Biggest drawback is the transmission, especially in stop and go traffic. When you get near a light and have to slow up for the other cars to start and you give it the gas at around 20 mph, the transmission hesitates to upshift. Engine revs loud when it does. Toyota needs to fix this soonest as it's a major drawback. My family has had Toyotas off and on since 1969 and this transmission is the worst ever, absolute worst. Every Toyota vehicle prior had a better transmission. I say I would not recommend for that one reason: the transmission.

I last bought a Toyota Camry in 2005 and loved it all the tin me. Very few problems and wonderful support from Irwin's and Toyota. We previously owned Chevys and I would never buy another.

It’s very nice and stuff like that you know what i mean like and the inside is very comfy and stuff you know like very comfy

Have only had the vehicle a few days and am absolutely in love. I’ve owned 7 Toyota’s and this is my second RAV4. The technology is more than I expected. The safety features includes lane departure, blind spot monitor, traffic sign display, and of course the 5 star safety rating. I was in a horrible traffic accident in a Camry and it saved my life. Toyota’s are worth every penny you pay for them. I’ve never had an issue with any I’ve owned and would not drive anything else. This RAV4 is comfortable, roomy, the ride is quiet and smooth. I love the new design in the 2019. There is not one thing I don’t like about my new car.

Love the car! smooth ride and good feel. Right size and comfort. We drove a rental car like it and really fell in love with it.

Overall the car is great and meets most of my expectations. No matter how good the car is it can't compensate for a really annoying beep each and every time I brake. After visiting the dealer today I am informed this is normal as the brake relay has recently been repositioned inside the cab and cannot be rectified, much to the mechanics and my disbelief

The Rav4 has been always one of my favorites I am very satisfied with it. Definitely a real good purchase. Al Hendirckson Toyota made an effort to please me.

If you are considering this car, test drive in an area where you can do a lot of breaking/accelerating. Highway driving is great. We made the mistake of only test driving on the high way and it is a little loud but otherwise drives well and has great gas mileage. Unfortunately, my daily commute requires a lot of stopping and starting for stop signs, red lights and traffic in general. This car is not smooth at all in that type of driving. It does not shift gears smoothly and when you stop and then go again, it seems to hesitate and then overcompensate making it very jerky to drive. I took it for my 5000 mile maintenance today and they blamed eco mode and basically said its the price you pay for efficient gas mileage. And that just isn't good enough. They have to do better. This is a lease and my next car will not be a Toyota after this. I loved my 2016 Rav 4 which makes this extra disappointing. It is not the same car or even close. And the 2016 was way better in my experience.

Safe comfortable smooth ride like all the modern amenities as I get older it’s nice to slide onto set of car as apposition to having scoot down into a car. Love the extra room in the back

The car more than meets all of my expectations. All the extras that came with it are amazing. It says I will average about 26-31 miles per gallon and already I have averaged OVEr 34 per gallon and that was not even highway driving.
