2019 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

Really like the Rav 4 BUT ALL manufacturers, (not just Toyota) need to get rid of the start/stop system!!!! Most of the complaints I see is due to the transmission being sluggish, jerky, etc. Its not the transmission, ITS THE CRAPPY START/STOP SYSTEM! If that system stays on new cars I will buy an old car next time.

I looooove this vehicle! My only concern is the camera. It is a little funny with parking as if I am parked on the curb.

This car is updated and latest. Its features are great. It meets my need and feel very happy with it. I love to recommend my friends and relatives to deal this car. The customer service is awesome.

Roomy interior. Wonderful safety features. Beautiful exterior. Very smooth ride. A joy to drive. It has met and surpassed all of my needs. Strongly suggest you consider the Rav4.

I love my new RAV4 with the exception that from time to time when accelerating it will jerk, and I mean jerks hard... I’m thinking I will take it to the dealership as I’ve only had it for a month. I love the MPG and the new rugged look as well as the technology, If Toyota will fix the transmission issue I wouldn’t have any complaints whatsoever. Toyota fix the transmission issue.

I was excited when Toyota redesigned the RAV4. I've owned Toyota's in the past and liked how they made it look less "Soccer Mom". I have to agree with the majority of reviews I've seen on Youtube about how it is a good step forward, but it needs work. First of all, the engine sounds awful. When you want to accelerate to higher speeds, the engine does make a terrible, high pitched buzzing noise which is normal of all things! It really is quite grating, almost as bad as nails on a chalkboard. Acceleration is also jerky, you start off slow, the buzzy engine kicks in and then you're pushed back in your seat. The steering is strange. It is easy to steer, but you get absolutely no feedback from the steering wheel. If you weren't looking at where you want to go, you'd never be able to tell the steering wheel was doing anything. It's not all bad. The new styling is great, plenty of cargo room, rear leg room is good and the interior is nicely done and feels like quality. Hopefully Toyota will do something about the horrendous engine noise and jerky acceleration in then next couple of years; these are its biggest drawbacks.

when slowing and then accelerating the transmission downshifts and when accelerating the car jumps and jerks . Needs another transmission? This could cause an accident if not aware of this problem.

Like it so far. Comfortable seats , climate control, rear view camera, blind spots detection, electronic seat adjustment, and lots more which needed more time to learn.

This car is exactly what I had hoped for. Still learning a lot about all the great features it is equipped. It is a great vehicle and I will derive years of pleasure with it.

Have mine since December 2018, constant transmission issues, launch forward, shift shock, slipping, hesitation you name it, the transmission has done it. Door panels, center console, seatbelt holder, mirrors, trunk all rattle like crazy. Engine extremely noisy on acceleration, wind and road noise are 78db measured on the highway. The side mirror vibrate a lot on the road causing you to no see properly. Almost had a crash since the transmission hesitated for 3 seconds and I lost speed and almost got rear ended. Reported to Toyota Canada and was told their product is fine, I simply need to drive safer and they suggested I read the owners manual to learn how to operate their product. Dealer can't do anything since Toyota won't do anything about it. Honestly, buy something else, this new generation are lemons. Look on forums for more detailed information.
