My biggest issue with the RAV4 as is the case with all Toyotas is that the steering column is not high enough, I always bump my knees during ingress and egress from the vehicle. Additionally, the cabin feels tight (I'm 6ft, 230) where as the CRV just seems roomier and no steering column issues

I rented one of these a few years ago and apparently it has not changed since. I hated it. The engine had plenty of power for the way I drive but the thing was very noisy and very uncomfortable including getting in and out of it. It also felt a bit unstable or squirrely on the highway.

First time viewer your attitude is very positive and contagious. A few things : If you’re reviewing a vehicle without noting a specific trim, your title is fine. Unfortunately you’re in the rare adventure trd off road edition. It was nice to see the cosmetic changes. I don’t think you can call this vehicle “old”. 4Runner has entered the chat. I really won think think this belongs off road. Your non pavement dirt roads maybe lol. The vehicle is noisy. But for me personally the other features make it worth it. Think loaded XSE. I bought a loaded XSE Hybrid and it will be my daily for a very long time.

We have a 2021 Rav4 Prime. Great electric range and quiet around town. But it is the NOISIEST car I have ever been in once at highway speeds. Even in all electric mode. And once the engine kicks in, even worse. Interior is cheap.
@RAV4Adventures2024Ай бұрын
My 24 TRD Off Road does not have the Stop/Start Button, but I have seen it on other 2024 RAV4 models - any idea why some have models and others do not? I would have not bought it with the Stop/Start button. Mind came with crappy Falken 01A Tires, which are not Severe Snow Rated. After getting stuck in the snow, we replaced them with real Falken 100H tires which are Severe Snow Rated and have a much deeper tread. Still no increase in road noise.
@ShafinRehmanАй бұрын
This thing desperately needs a new generation redesign. It got surpassed a few years ago by everyone else. The road noise is literally awful (even on street tires), the interior is one of the cheapest feeling in this day and age and it just oozes unrefinement. Reliable, yes. It should be, but you sacrifice so much for it. That's not enough anymore in 2024 Toyota, and this is coming from a former worker of yours.
@gregjoubert5118Ай бұрын
I’ve been at Toyota guy forever. Went to go look at one for my wife and they had the cheapest interior ever. Very plastic and not well put together or refined. I don’t doubt it would be reliable, but it just felt really cheap overall. Went to look at a CX 5 the other day and it was much better quality. I hear the CRV is much more refined too.

@@naveenthemachine They gotta do their marketing 😂. Doesn’t mean anything until we have the chance to make our own opinion of it in the real world. They can say whatever they want really because at that time, no one can really say too much. And I mean, Toyota has never really been the best in class in terms of technology and driving dynamics and cabin materials and all that. They’ve always been midpoint if you ask me. Boring cars, the ultimate appliance vehicle. But they always sold relatively well, which didn’t make sense apart from reliability being a big reason. Nowadays, they are slipping. The Tundra issues are serious and there’s no denying that. But in the case of the GH and TX, those recalls have nothing to do with the reliability of the cars, it’s a pretty major safety recall. But in the case of the Rav4, provided they do a similar thing they did with the new Camry, reliability itself should be largely unchanged. They might have some early teething issues but so did the current 5th gen back in 2019-2020ish, so not really a reason to not buy. And I mean, if they go turbo, well with the lack of maintenance that is now recommended, of course they won’t last as long as a naturally aspirated engine. People are very misinformed about maintenance nowadays so no surprise. So far, the T24A seems to be pretty good but for long term reliability, we need some more time to judge that. Just out of curiosity, did Toyota say anything about the 2025 Camry? I didn’t bother to watch or read anything about it until reviews came out so I don’t know.
