2019 RAV4 - Why would Toyota do this to us?

Kinda like a mashup of a 4r and Taco. I don't think it's terrible to be honest.

 

It's just a shame you can't get the V-6 in the RAV any longer.

 

I had a 2009 Sport, and it was a ROCKET!!!

 

I know there’s alot of dislikes here but just traded a 2014 GMC Terrain for a 19. Its the wifes . I still will keep my 10 trd sport

 

That a Hilux?

 

Good luck finding one! The V6 RAV4 was pretty quick. My friends have one, and it pulls a heavy trailer with no problems. I have driven it a few times to shuttle them to the airport, and it is definitely not a laggard... neither loaded down, nor solo.

 

Actually, the new RAV4 is pretty nice. I like the new styling, definitely improved over the previous version, and the seating is more comfy too. My dealer had an Adventurer model in the lunar color, it was very nice, inside and out. If I was looking for a CUV, this would be it.

 

There's a RAV4 Adventure on the lot here in town. It's a cool Lunar Rock color similar to Cement but it has a little green in it. Really nice looking for $35k. I'd drive that thing in a heartbeat.

 

Yeah, my wife has that in her sights. Or the Subaru Crosstrek in grey khaki. We like these muted colors (Quicksand OR in the garage). I think that color looks more green than grey in the publicity photos... but I'll have to check it out in person.

 

This is probably blasphemy haha but I picked up a Double Cab OR in cement grey last year and considering selling it to my dad and getting the RAV4 TRD when it comes out. I don't use the bed as much as I thought and not as much offroading as I thought either. The trails I have gone on would've been fine with a RAV4. I think it looks dang good compared to the outgoing model and a great city/light trail vehicle.

 

Only thirty seven thousand dollars.

 

My wife and I have one (her daily vehicle) and it’s been great. Comfy, great mpg, and the interior is clean and simple. Two thumbs up so far!

I’ll admit the 8 speed transmission is a bit clunky sometimes but I’d still take it over the cvt. I just don’t trust cvt’s yet...

 

Just bought this new 2019 Rav4 Premium XLE AWD (color) Blue Flame for my wife yesterday. Wasn't looking at new but for the price difference between new and upto 7 year old Rav4's was so close that it made sense just to buy new. Full warranty, nobody's problem they abused and traded in, zero miles, etc... we're selling her 2004 4Runner dirt cheap (everything mechanically is brand new). I have a 2013 Tacoma Baja for my vehicle. I actually like the new Rav4, it has way more interior room than previous models. I'm 6'8 and got comfortably I the front or back seats with head and legroom even with the moonroof which is rear.

 

Sorry for being so late, but I think resembles a Jeep Cherokee or Jeep Compass, but obviously more reliable...

 

They'll fix the clunky trans if you take it to the dealer, already a TSB for it.

 

My mom has a 19 adventure. It's a nice car for her in texas where the roads suck and has the good ground cleanrance. Out of the current offerings for these cuvs imo it's the best.

 

I've said it before I'll say it again...

The body resembles that of a Jeep Compass!

 

Couldn’t find the tsb online...
