Don’t upgrade man, your is paid for and that white RAV-4 will easily go another 100,000 miles.

[@leraygun]

I have the same generation RAV4 and feel the same way, but man...that front turtle design bothers me and makes me want to upgrade to a more timeless look.

[@diana46able]

mine is a 2013 RAV4 it may be old but I’m finished making those monthly payments..lol

[@drewb9034]

Actually, I like the shape of the 2013 model better than the 2020.

[@KungFuHenny]

2013-2018 models have a unappealing front I rather have a 2012 or 2019 and skip the models in between

[@pubggameplay6728]

What the heckkkkkk

[@thetechlibrarian]

Highper If I could find a super clean 2012 with the V-6 I would buy it in a heartbeat that little SUV is a monster

[@kaylaxbokuto1710]

Same I like the rounder look

[@hondacr-vtouringguy8327]

@@thetechlibrarian OMG I 100% Would definitely do the same thing!!!!

[@drewhour]

It still feels modern the 2013

[@mrdirector61]

I drive a 2013 fwd le, and wondered how it would measure up to the new one. Your video did exactly that, so thank you!

[@stephenwhite9957]

Nice video my friend. I have a 2016 rav 4 hybrid business edition I JUST LOVE IT ,I'm about to go to The 5th generation & can't wait .your video was so professionally done .

[@bsperoz]

Almost leased a 2012 Rav4 but went with Rogue. Almost leased a 2015 Rav4 but went with CrossTrek. Almost leased a 2017 Rav4 but went with 2016 Rogue (long story...) Almost leased 2019 Rav4 but went with... Actually, I guess I technically AM leasing a Rav4 at last...Just the hybrid version of one. YAY!

[@mohamedmana9]

RAV4 is the best car ever made in all aspects, thanks for this video.

[@Maximusgat]

Thanks for this video by the way

[@narutobroken]

My 2016 rav 4 HYBRID is such a dream boat its got 30,000 miles & I've done 10,000 of those it's doing 550 miles on a tank 50mpg it's just TOYOTA QUALITY " do we all agree"??

[@hashemeshanouq7351]

My 2015 running excellent so far 580K M... Excellent review well done mate !

[@leraygun]

Congrats on 580K, Toyota BIFL and FTW

[@Happyantix112]

2.5l petrol?

[@Maximusgat]

I have a 2015 limited. I like it and I have keyless entry and keyless ignition

[@MundoOval]

The first clear difference is the design. Has got much uglier

[@wormdamage]

You've convinced me!... to get an older one. Thanks!

[@professorlonghair7379]

The 2013 LE had integrated remote lock/unlock in the key

[@mridware9694]

What common issues you have with your Rav4 2013 please make video on that

[@paulm6481]

The new RAV-4 shows Toyota now knows RAV-4 is their bread and butter. So much content, great design inside and out. Add hybrids motors and really none better in this segment.

[@avrajsagoo5372]

My vitz 2002 has 350,000 miles + still going smooth been servicing it every 5 months driven 6 days a week 100 km a week average.

[@Ernge_Juice]

Well made video but my limited 2013 has many of those same features that you pointed out the new one had that your LE does not. Such as keyless entry, push button start, heated seats, ect. I like the looks of the new one but the 8 speed trans. is a deal breaker. Drive is horrible. Would force me to look at the hybrid if I were wanting to upgrade

[@PrinceJunior90]

How is it fair to compare LE and Adventure???

[@robertstringer1431]

It is not fair. This comparison is somewhat useless. As with all comparisons it is a feature comparison and does not delve into how they are actually built.

[@diana46able]

I own a Toyota RAV4 for 8 years now it’s still running in good condition no problems yet. I hate the new front grill on the 2021 they look weird.

[@baldheadlogic]

I never liked the previous gen RAV4. I am strongly considering a Limited Hybrid or RAV4 Prime

[@shaunavailable1919]

I like the toyota rav4 2013 more than the toyota rav4 2020

[@Joseruiz-zb7qv]

Well my mom has a 2014 rav4 in a midnight color i guess she loves it the radio screen has many functions but i love the outside of the car the head light and a vent from my perspective it looks like the car is smiling

[@edmonpierre4562]

I need to replace my 2013 Toyota RAV4 le fuel door spring and I don't know it looks like. Can anyone please help with a picture of the inside of their fuel door where the fuel spring is located please? Thanks in advance.

[@derekchisholm972]

nice to see a comparison. I can only imagine what a 2006 is like

[@luxoriusbg]

Just went to test drive the new 2020 model, well I did not liked it at all. It looks like cheaper made - very close to Dacia Duster quality. Wanted to trade my 2018 model for the new one but after checking it live I will stick with my 4th generation rav 4

[@Gmayneful]

I was hoping to hear about ride quality difference. Sadly didn't get that. The old ones suspension sucks. Super stiff like I'm driving on dirt/gravel road.

[@hmlovescarmusic]

I love 4th & 5th gen RAV4, they're reliable, economy & good for onroad, but some of the RAV4 are good offroad.

[@jxmar_]

Perhaps you could’ve tested a current gen LE..

[@PatTheRiot]

I just got a 2013 xle with 60k on the odo and it literally test drove the same as a 2016 or 2017. I bought it for 12 000 less. I feel confident it will be a perfect adventure beater for the next 5 to 10 years with very minimal maintenance.

[@WORLDCITIZEN2004]

How much did you pay for the 2013 XLE?

[@PatTheRiot]

@@WORLDCITIZEN2004 with inflation, too much. 17k CAD for the 2013 and the 2016+ with same odo went for 30k+. I say too much because 3 years ago I would have paid 14 or 15 max.

[@WORLDCITIZEN2004]

@@PatTheRiot It is not bad.. You paid around 13K US .. I paid 2013 XLE with 113 Miles $13k US.. What is your car milage? IS it 60K KM or 60K Miles.

[@PatTheRiot]

@@WORLDCITIZEN2004 i was converting yes, 60k miles / 100kms

[@leraygun]

My perfect RAV4 would be the front design of the 2020 and the rear design of the 2017.

[@stephenwhite9957]

Having read some comments on the 5th generation rav ref the 8 SPEED GEARS WELL ,SCOTTY CALN WILL SAY NO TO 8 GEARS

[@paulm6481]

Is paint chipping considered a recall? I thought recalls have to do with safety issues.

[@MilesPerHr]

An automaker can choose to recall for quality issues, yes. When the government gets involved and forced an automaker to recall something, it's typically a safety concern.

[@kevinw4267]

I think I can wait for another 7 to get the current-gen Rav4 . lol

[@Zach27727]

The 2013 model had the remote lock and unlock

[@bingzaniGercel]

I dont like the strict seatbelt sensors in the rear seat. Its so annoying and loud chime when my aunt dont put the seatbelt. In terms of seatbelt detecting for backseats toyota overreacted in terms of safety

[@dutchfox7572]

Has anybody had any problems with the 2015 RAV4 leaking oil around that timing chain cover and valve cover

[@SIIKAP1]

Many cars are known for this. Fairly common in toyota 4cyl

[@ongvang1344]

The SVT 8 speed are no good transmission they have problems vs the the 6 speed I don't hear any problems yet.

[@E37206]

I have always wondered if anyone can answer this, my Mom has a 2013 and it feels like a V6 with the whining and the slightest touch of the gas pedal gets to instantly jerking to speed, why is that? I know it's a 4 cylinder but it feels like i'm driving a V6 and has some pep in it's step, anyone know what Toyota does to their engines or transmissions to make them drive that way?

[@kingvonfluffy5574]

Maybe the sport mode is on? I normally drive in eco mode when I’m driving in town but that sport mode really gets the car moving.

[@dw2843]

They could make the throttle more responsive. Also the engine has a good torque curve. It makes a lot of torque right from the start even though its peak power isn't very high

[@PHILLIPS8822]

I'll take the 2013 over the latest model. The 8 speed in the latest hunts gears and isn't as good as the previous Gen with the 6 speed trans

[@draneiv]

I more specially like the 2008-2012 model than 2013 but if you compared than the 2020 model, im more better 2013 rav4...

[@dw2843]

Yes! The gen 3 was the best looking rav4

[@TomesEsq]

Why is this channel all the sudden spamming so many videos??

[@shamingandembrassingdriver2718]

The 3rd gen with the v6 is better then both these versions

[@guillermopena1938]

No, simply no.

[@herjantodharsono]

Anybody know 2020 RAV4 has EPS or hidrolic power steering?

[@anfasthayyil]

EPS

[@AcidFlash123]

Just came across this video and it's funny. We have a 2013 XLE AWD and a 2020 LE AWD. I actually prefer driving the 2013. I don't like a lot of the safety crap like lane assist, radar controlled cruise control etc. I find it annoying to drive the 2020. I leave the crap turned on because the Mrs. likes it on the 2020 and I don't want to bother switching it back and forth so I just drive the 2013. I guess I'm old school and prefer to drive myself so I could never own something like a Tesla (aside from my hatred of the arrogant Muskrat). And just a warning to people, the keyless start is going to lead to a lot more thefts of higher end vehicles because it is a lot less secure than having a key. The thieves are becoming more adept at capturing the signal from your keyfob and creating their own key.

[@1lifeonearth]

good review. I was expecting a much better interior for a maxed-out brand new model. looks super average inside and too much like a shitty jeep or some Chrysler piece of shit. just my opinion though.

[@GreenLine135]

the old one is better and more reliable without all the electronic crap...

[@Spawnytherabbidsfans2018]

ok

[@antoniolopez7218]

I have 2020. Interior lights. Is bad. Good on fuel. Wheels nut . I used my hand to tork. And I broken one. Never happened. On my life I believe is bad quality. Bad I like 8 speed transmission.I don't like CVT . transmission

[@quesokid4959]

The 8 speed transmission is a bad transmission. For a Toyota at least. Might be the least reliable and unpredictable tranny they have put out in the last couple decades. Old 6 speed was great

[@bahhaziz]

The 2020 outside look makes it cartooniesh 🤔 the 2013 serious look

[@user-gb1vr3pi5u]

2013 is the best

[@fallguy4209]

2013 model is so butt ugly. Thank goodness for the new design language

[@The123Now]

Spoiler alert, they both roll over! The rav 4 is a roll over machine. Buy something else if you want to stay safe.

[@user-oq3lv6lv7x]

Aaron Hargett or don’t drive like a maniac.. any suv will be a roll over machine.

[@Maximusgat]

No they don't. Only if you don't know how to drive. Any vehicle with a higher center of gravity is prone to rolling over.

[@nataleatotten4773]

Um no. Proud owner of 3 ravs, 2014, 2019 which I totaled with a deer on the freeway going close to 90 passing someone and that thing kept me safe and in my lane and stopped me. So I got a 2020 rav4 after that:) I love these vehicles.

[@robertstringer1431]

This is absolutely not true.
