2019 RAV4 very comfortable for an SUV and reliable

The RAV4 is a great car and enjoyable to drive. After a long day trip most SUV’s are so uncomfortable to ride in that you cannot wait to get out of it! The RAV4 is a great car for a comfortable road trip with plenty of room for all your stuff!

Disappointing

Put 5,000 miles on. Disappointed with road and wind noise and lack of power. Big mistake leasing this. Way to much wind and road noise on the highway.

I just bought a 2019 Rav4

I like the 2019 Rav 4 but seriously frustrated that Toyota does not make a trailer hitch for this vehicle. In addition, you can not buy a trailer hitch from a 3rd party. Not available yet. Having known this up front, I would have considered other SUV options.

This Car Stinks!

Just leased the 2019 Rav4. I have owned Toyotas for the past 25 years. Just turned in my leased 2016 Highlander and leased the 2019 Rav4. What a piece of crap. I knew I was downsizing so I wasn't expecting the luxuries I had with my Highlander but this is ridiculous. My only "must have" was blind side monitor. I went with the LE AWD. 1. Passenger seat too high with no way to adjust. You have to stick your whole head in first before you can get in the darn thing. 2. Pretty sure they are going to have to recall this lemon. If you take your foot off the gas going around a corner then hit the gas again on the other side of the curve the whole darn car hesitates then lurches forward. Actually afraid to let my new teen driver use this car. Dangerous. 3. Lousy and I mean lousy acceleration - and LOUD...seriously loud. 4. Seats are too narrow. 5. Entune just plain stinks. Screen display is very flat with little ability to make it more attractive. Apple car play ok but come on Toyota...this is the best you can do? Thank goodness I leased the darn thing. Don't buy this one!

Safe and Reliable SUV

This vehicle meets all of my needs from a safety standpoint, leg room, and cargo space. Plus the gas mileage is great and the interior controls are right at your finger tips!!

I think its amazing

I don't know why people complain about noise...its really not that bad. Not like its a v8 Mustang lol. Also the power isn't bad for the size of the vehicle, I mean its SUV not a Mustang again...Press the sport button instead of driving in ECO mode and you will definitely feel the difference! I don't care much about saving a mile or two per gallon so I keep it in "Sport" mostly and its amazing. Yeah I wish it had a bit more room as I had in my 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (Was a much roomier vehicle...) but with features I have and quality I believe it will last a long time. Oh btw I am 6'1 and have no issues with seeing out the window or touching the roof...Again yes its lower then Mitsu I drove, but overall its ok for its size...

I love my new RAV4! It's so comfortable to drive!

I bought the 2019 RAV4 AWD in Blue Flame. It's a gorgeous vehicle and love the sunroof. I've been really enjoying that. It's got a lot of great features and this is the first AWD SUV that I've ever had. Toyota - Oh, what a feeling!

Redesigned Rav4 is more bold

I loved my last Rav4. Very reliable car. The new one is even better. Love the new design. Can't wait to try it's 4 wheel drive capabilities. Good gas mileage, roomy inside considering its class as compact SUV.

My first car

I decided to buy this car because I trust Toyota. I believe for money I had paid they put all value that is possible into that car.
