[@James-rd9mo]

@@afcgeo882 That's the first I've heard of auto transmission issues on the new RAV4/Camry.

[@jbassoc]

I suggest everyone rent the new Rav4 for a few days before commenting. After test driving a few at various dealers I was ready to buy. I found a Toyota dealer that was part of Toyota Rents. They had a new 2019 Rav4 LE available so I rented it for three days. I put 600 miles on it. I was able to easily achieve 33 to 36 mpg but drives between Sacramento and Reno on hwy 80 were so punishing that I could not wait to return it to dealer. The road noise was deafening from the concrete road, the slightest push on the gas caused a downshift that made the engine roar so loudly that you instinctively took your foot off the gas and the ride quality was beyond abusive, constantly bouncing and jerking us around the cabin. It made the ride home, driving the same road, in my 2005 Highlander a pleasure.

[@omelborpon3159]

Jim Heck, that is useful input. Consumer Reports agrees with you that the ride and engine noise have deteriorated from the previous generation. After two or three years on the new TNGA platform on the RAV4, Toyota will solve some of the problems. (And please, Toyota, give us some really good driver and front passenger seats.) Your suggestion to rent before you buy is always a great idea when contemplating the purchase of any new vehicle, especially one you intend to keep for a while.

[@JJustinXu]

The Hybrid is quieter!

[@alaind831]

Jim, that's very useful info and good idea to rent! I also drive to Reno to ski a lot, so good applicable info as my 07 Acura MDX is great, but looking at better gaz mileage but not if punishing ride and loud... guessing the ybrid might behave quite differently though (quieter, lot more torq, no downshifting).

[@robotech1990]

8 speed trans. That is all i need to know. It is a huge difference. And makes the toyota a winner. Hate CVTs.

Purchased a Hybrid Rav XSE and have had it for a few months. No regrets as far as performance, it's amazing. Had heard that the passenger seat was uncomfortable so that was a concern but it's fine, and i'm picky about comfort! Saving money on gas and less trips to fill it!

[@rightlanehog3151]

I am cheap so I would buy the bare bones LE Hybrid if I was shopping today. From everything I have heard the regular RAV4 has almost been made redundant by the new Hybrid. Next year they will be building RAV4 Hybrids in Kentucky to keep up with demand.

[@AwesomeIsMyMotto]

There are two set memory seats in the Rav-4. It's an option on higher trims

[@mariamiller1770]

I own both. The Rav is best in town, while I like the Rogue on the highway. The Rav's more maneuverable and the cockpit ergonomics are superior. The significantly larger Rogue is more comfortable, quieter and has more room. Of particular note, the Rogue's front passenger seat is world's better than the Rav's.

[@uactedstupidly]

I purchased the Rav4 hybrid XSE and LOVE it! I am getting between 46 and 51 mpg which blows me away! I drove the Rogue for a week as rental and it was okay but only got 27 mpg out of it and I HATED that the horn honks every time i lock it. I do think the Rav4 is overpriced compared to competition and much less wiggle room for out the door bargaining with dealers, I love the car so was willing to pay a little more than the competition.

[@flakeu]

With that kind of gas mileage, you will recoup the money you overspent very fast. Here in Canada, gas is 1.27$ a liter. Having a car that consumes 35-40% less fuel is a no brainer.

[@rightlanehog3151]

I like the styling and prefer the 2019 Nissan Rogue SL fully loaded. My grandma got a 3 year 36,000 mile lease on her gunmetal gray 2019 Nissan Rogue SL with premium package. 34,620$ SUV. It’s a nice SUV with the panoramic sunroof, leather interior, heated seats, heated steering wheel, Nissan pro pilot assist with every single safety feature. Bose audio system with HD radio and Sirius XM, and has apple car play. Push to start, memory seats, carbon fiber door inserts, piano black interior pieces, garage home link with auto dim mirror, 360 around view monitor back up camera with rear sensors, rear cross traffic alert and automatic emergency braking. Has steering assist, blindspot monitoring, you name it.. this Rogue has all the sweet safety features and it’s cheaper than the RAV4. IMO you get more bang for the buck getting an SL Rogue than a XSE or XLE rav4 that can cost more than 40,000$. Not to mention the Rogue has the xenon headlights with fog lights, 19 inch alloy wheels, also has tinted windows, remote start, smart entry, and rear automatic foot activated power tailgate.

[@yeon723]

[@audaciousifti]

You pick the Rav because it will last way longer, looks better, and you have the ability to not throw away money

[@stephenhendricks103]

"Last(ing) longer" may not be the highest priority for everyone. The average new car buyer keeps a vehicle for seven years. While it may offend one's Puritan sensibilities that people purchase automobiles without considering how well it will hold up after a decade or more of ownership, doing the math doesn't necessarily suggest that long term durability is economically the best choice.

[@bogoss3178]

I debated between buying a Rava4 and Nissan Rogue. I like the shape of the Toyota rava4 however I bought a Nissan Rogue 2019 (non-hybrid). It came with a lifetime Powertrain warranty. So even if the transmission fails, it won’t cost anything. And the Rogue was way cheaper than the Rava 4 2019. There was a promotion, and for just 31k TAX INCLUDED, I was able to get the top of line Nissan Rogue with all the options. For the rava4, in order to get the same options than the Nissan Rogue, it would have cost me at least 37K NOT TAX INCLUDED. And at the time I bought my Nissan Rogue, the rava4 2019 didn’t even support android phone, only iPhone. And I love the Nissan Rogue trunk cargo divider utility. It allows you to configure your cargo space in function of your need

Why are there random cricket sounds during the last minutes of the video!?

[@elusivellama]

It's the Rogue's CVT breaking apart.

[@jeffreyortiz-luis5120]

Rogue is plagued with problems, cvt transmission in particular.

On What year models? I got a 2019 today

[@jeffreyortiz-luis5120]

@@alena1vlog474 pretty much all years not much has change mechanicaly , may be some software updates. But if your leasing it, dont worry...

[@alena1vlog474]

OMG Thank Goodness we chose to lease!!

[@Reu_ag]

The Nissan looks boring, the rav 4 looks more masculine and more "I ain't breaking down anytime soon look" 😉

[@rightlanehog3151]

;)

Youre hella right lol

[@LlyleHunter]

The master of the auto review!

[@mqayyum9226]

didn't watch the video, didn't need to. Even a 10 year old Rav4 will outlast that CVT rogue

[@notmebutyou8350]

😁😁😁😁😁

[@ColinsTravels]

Having just driven a rogue rental car over the weekend, I find the car tepid, underpowered and underwhelming.

[@rightlanehog3151]

And those are its good points.

[@afcgeo882]

And that’s fine for most CUV buyers.

[@Ben-bs4od]

Australia and New Zealand have stopped shipping the Rav4 due to regenerative hybrid brake issues. does anyone know the safety of hybrid brakes. I once had a NY taxi driver tell me to stay away from hybrids due to problems braking in rain and snow. Any thoughts here? Otherwise this looks like the best suv along with the Santa Fe for the price.

[@indie2311]

This is too easy Rav 4. I've rented a rogue twice, hated it both times.

[@Zraupp10]

I have a 2018 Nissan rogue hybrid great gas mileage great headroom JUNK headlights I replace them, Like the Toyota RAV4 looks better

[@uww.v]

Are ur leds?

[@Zraupp10]

@@uww.v I don't know I just know you can drive with them on you had to have the high beams on to see anyting, so I replaces them. state law was no greater than 300 candlelight so I put in 233 candlelight now I don't know what the factory headlights were

[@wildforthecats661]

RAV4, not even close.

[@davidackerman6837]

aisin vs jatco. aisin wins every single time

[@zachf355]

haha google camry/rav4 transmission problems

[@ELPJM09]

I’ve already seen many of the new RAV4s on the road. No matter what reviewers or haters think, they will still be the best selling in the segment. Nissan is just cheap and unreliable junk. Just like Kia and Hyundai, people buy them because they are cheaper than Toyota or Honda. I’d rather buy a quality and reliable Toyota.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Exactly.

[@The3masters]

rav4 is a toyota meaning most probably it will last a good amount longer than its competitors

[@mattoakey3543]

I wouldn’t buy a Nissan even with someone else’s $$$. #Junk

[@rightlanehog3151]

I agree.

[@grantfynn6241]

And who are you? Are you better than those who buy Nissan? Nissan big up Toyota trash

[@mattc.8887]

Rav4 is great. Just wish they came with better looking wheels

[@James-rd9mo]

Few cars come with nice wheels. I already ordered after market wheels for my XSE hybrid. Gives it a bit more unique look which helps considering there will be a million of these in the road soon enough.

[@Erigion]

I'm 6'1" and the driver's seat position in the RAV4 is horrendous. Passenger's seat is even worse since it's only 4-way, even on a fully loaded Limited. It's so disappointing.

[@rncondie]

I am 6’3” 230 lbs and my XLE hybrid Rav 4 fits nice. Have no idea what you are talking about.

[@JJustinXu]

I’m 6”2 and I fit perfectly in my XSE Hybrid.

[@cadsux]

I like the Rav4's front because the headlights & grille are similar to the 2015 Mustang. I'd wouldn't mind the upcoming Ford Mustang-like crossover to look similar.

[@jhajhalife5742]

He said the rav4 May be one of the oldest when he first got up front but other than that great review
