The Toyota RAV4 now rides on the same Toyota New Global Architecture platform as the Throw in an extra storage area ahead of the shifter (or a wireless device charger in the case of my test car) and a big-enough cubby under the center armrest, and there's plenty of places to put all your junk. The dashboard makes interesting use of layering, hiding a pair of very useful cubbies in front of the driver and passenger - slathered in bright orange on my Adventure-trim tester. The inside is equally appealing, but not so much that it negatively affects its prime directive: function. The hefty body cladding gives it even more character, too. I'm especially a fan of the rectilinearity around the wheel wells. The soft edges of the fourth-gen RAV4 have been cast aside in favor of hard creases, giving it its most interesting look in over a decade.
One look at the 2019 RAV4's new design is all it takes to realize that fun has a place, as well. In its 2022 reliability survey, What Car? ranked it as the most reliable large SUV.Practicality might be a major purchasing factor for many small SUV buyers, but that doesn't mean a car needs to be devoid of anything interesting. With this generation RAV4 having been on sale for a few years, we have started to see some good reliability information.
However, all models have been criticised for high noise levels at motorway speeds. The new plug-in hybrid model has so far achieved higher scores than the standard hybrid model. It has been particularly praised for its practicality, low CO 2 and fuel consumption figures (with corresponding tax benefits for company car drivers) and comfort. The Toyota RAV4 has received generally good reviews from the UK automotive media and ranks several points behind the best in its class. A plug-in hybrid version of the RAV4 joined the range in 2021.
Many of the early reviews were conducted overseas in non-UK spec cars, with local reviews being added all the time. The latest model is the fifth generation of RAV4, and was launched in early 2019. Over the last 25 years, the RAV4 has been one of the biggest-selling models in the world, and a pioneer for the current trend of car-based SUV-style vehicles. The Toyota RAV4 is a mid-size SUV/crossover, which in the UK is available with either a petrol-electric regular hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain.
