ULTIMATE 2019 Toyota RAV4 Comparison (LE, XLE, Adventure, Limited)

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I got to drive the XSE Hybrid on a road trip..check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joaXm4KVe9iZeac *Thanks for watching!* 😁

[@ksinouye]

Great review, super thorough. Can't wait to see the hybrid model once it's available, and all that it'll have to offer.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thanks man! I’m excited to check it out myself...I’ve been excited to see it for a while. Thanks for stopping by!

[@godfatherNYC]

Hybrid! Best performance and REALLY good MPG.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

godfatherNYC I can’t wait to check out the hybrid!

Does the limited have the torque vectoring system?

Big shout out for making this video. Was going through articles for the comparison but the video makes it super easy :)

Thank you! Glad to hear it!

[@dave09453]

ditto this was perfect!

[@WindRaider016]

Thank you for putting in the effort to put the trim levels side by side. It’s hard finding videos about the specific one you want. This was was very informative. Thank you!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

You have no idea how dope and convenient these videos are i love it!

[@paulfortman5834]

Just the LE for me. The LE has everything I want or need. I am disappointed that it doesn't have a CD player.

[@Mareka6969]

CD player? you must be old. jk :)

[@dajonlegend]

Totally agree..

Great to hear!

[@davidzavala337]

My biggest complaint is that for some reason leather wrapped steering wheel seems a a super luxury thing, most manufacturers either give it to you on their second lowest trim or their basic like the Mazda cx5. It will be nice to customize that speedometer and not have a 140mph, like I'll ever go that fast. I'll leave it at 80.

[@DSKBulldogs]

Amazing review Nolan! My wife has a Rav4 and she loves it!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear it...my wife WANTS one lol..next time!

[@TodayWithDustin]

I love the new RAV4! Personally I would go with the LE trim because I like more basic vehicles. They all look very good though! Great comparison!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yes for sure, I like the direction they went with it. Thanks a bunch!

[@jrkin]

I'm right with you might opt for the xle just for the blind spot assist since the rear visibility is very limited.

[@hapaboy0808]

Wow, great video! How the heck did you memorize all the differences between each trim!? I just got an XLE Premium, loving it so far. The minute differences between each trim is mind numbing.

[@allaussie]

Enjoy driving my 2019 Rav4 (Australia). Fixed capped annual service. Great Japanese quality. 2WD petrol, although only 2 lites. Australian model GLX. 7 year warranty.

[@dave0915]

Excellent, thorough video review, Nolan. The format showcasing the trim level similarities, differences and optional packages is outstanding. XLE or XLE Premium will be our starting point. Thank you!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you very much! I’m glad it was helpful, but I’m sorry I didn’t have the actual XLE Premium with them!

[@dave0915]

@@PrimeAutotainment No problem. All of your references to the XLE Premium trim level are more than adequate.

[@MoNoK15]

I like these models much better than the previous models 👍 I enjoyed this comparison Nolan. I like that new light blue color a lot.

[@tigerfan8244]

Great and informative video Nolan. I like the Adventurer trim. Pearl White with that black interior with the orange accents please. Gotta have the good options too. 👌Toyota stepped up the game with this RAV4. Overall a good looking SUV, but a little odd from certain angles. Seems like you can option them up to pretty much loaded. Prices seem a bit high though. Review that Adventure trim with the good stuff!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thanks man! For sure, I like that spec. I agree on the price...when thinking of others in the class and their features I was thinking some stuff is missing for the price. Hopefully it’s impressive when I get to actually drive one!

[@tigerfan8244]

Prime Autotainment Looking forward to seeing a review. I’ve always been a fan of the RAV even though they were a little soft in the styling, but this one actually looks resembles a SUV.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

For sure. I was glad to see them “beef” it up in a way

[@henryhonda8408]

I like the Adventure model and it's in my favorite colour ruby red. I'm in Canada & the Adventure is called the Trail model..... it comes standard here with a moonroof, leather wrapped steering wheel, heated seats and mud flaps (I believe all of those are optional in the USA from all the videos I've watched).

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I like that one too. That sounds about right. Toyota is stingy to us down here lol

[@henryhonda8408]

lol

[@TopLineRacer]

That was a pretty awesome review. Good work. Keep it up!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you very much, appreciate it!

[@benbuy1381]

Thank you so much for the useful info. I plan to get one and this review will help me to decide which one to get.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Glad to hear it! Which one are you thinking you’d want?

[@pjay1281]

Amazing information like always. I can't believe I'm saying this,but I really love the ADVENTURE trim. I think TOYOTA take that styling cue from Subaru Crosstrek,for the ADVENTURE trim.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you! I like it too. There are little characteristics that make it stand out and appeal to me too!

[@pjay1281]

@@PrimeAutotainment Yes,you 100% right 👍😊

[@AndrewKNI]

Great overview of the Rav4 range. Slightly different trim levels are available in the UK, although XLE and Adventure trims look good. And there's me having just bought a 2018 Tucson. The Rav4 for will have to wait until next time. :-)

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thanks Andrew! I like those trims too. I hope you’re enjoying your Tucson! I haven’t been in one of those. Thanks for watching 😁

[@AndrewKNI]

@@PrimeAutotainment May be you could test the revised Tucson sometime. I'm still getting used to it but it is impressive on build quality, equipment and comfort, so far. Keep up the reviews. They are superb.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I would love to. Hopefully they let me get one this year. They seem to be a great value...I just finished up with the Elantra and will have that review out soon. Thanks a bunch for your support!

[@AndrewKNI]

@@PrimeAutotainment That would be brilliant. Many thanks Nolan :-)

[@condor5635]

Excellent review! Thanks. I have a 2020 XLE one annoying thing is the rear camera dynamic predictive yellow lines don’t show up while in reverse Just the static blue ones. Either it’s another feature that did not come with the car or there is a setting I am missing. besides the actual camera display of the image there are no other touch screen buttons on the screen when in reverse. Thanks!

[@SA6703]

This is really Amazing. Subscribed 😊

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you so much!

[@49aakash]

Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for...I really like the Limited trim. I test drove the Adventure trim today and it is awesome...I really wish toyota had a turbocharged engine though!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you so much! I really like both of those trims too and you’re right...it would be nice to at least have a turbo option 👍

[@henryhonda8408]

Turbo engines are a deal breaker for me. I was always a Honda fan but with all their turbo engines in the Civic, Accord and CR-V I now prefer Toyotas. But to each his own, I personally do not want one...... reliability is at the top of my list.

Great Video Nolan! I would definitely consider the Limited Trim or the Adventure trim. I would love to check out the Hybrid one as well. I like the roof color being different from the rest of the color on the vehicle. I surely wish Toyota would consider putting a V6 in these vehicles. LOL

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you! Same here, I’m excited to hopefully drive one soon. A V6 would be great too...maybe someday 🤞

[@joshr19821]

Thanks for the video, so can you get the black rims and trim package on the XLE? Or is only on certain models? How much does that package run?

[@PrimeAutotainment]

As fast as I remember, the rims are pretty set in stone for each trim. It’s possible that they’d let you buy them as an accessory though. Here’s the brochure for a quick look at things: www.toyota.com/content/ebrochure/2019/rav4_ebrochure.pdf

[@elbarto4394]

Except for the LE the rest are really nice. The XLE premium I think has standard moonroof and leather but is more or less the same as the XLE

[@louisbinwag3304]

Please give me the Full Reveiw of XLE AWD.. so that I will have an idea of the functions coz I bought one here in Canada.. thank you..

[@PrimeAutotainment]

That’s awesome! If I can get one I will. I’ll be getting one for a week this summer but don’t have a choice of what trim it is. Enjoy your new Rav4!! 👍

[@stuckigs]

Just bought the Pearl/Gray limited still learning how to use the dash lol

[@PrimeAutotainment]

That’s awesome! Nice choice 😉. It takes time to get used to...just keep exploring and playing around with it

[@joshr19821]

How much was the limited?

[@louisstennes4542]

I have a question. On my 18 it has an under hood blanket (insulation) but on the 19 they left it out. I known the benefit of noise reduction but common sense tells me that in really hot climates like the South and Southwest that it would prevent the hood from getting so hot that it would damage the hood paint over time. Am I missing something?

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I truly don’t know why they left it out and if it will impact the hood paint. I highly doubt it because some other brands and types of vehicles have gone without and I’ve never heard of it being an issue...but not positive. Either way it’s puzzling that they didn’t include the insulation..weird to me. I read your other post too and agree about the other 2.5 engine...it’s rock solid and simple...time will tell with this new “dynamic force” engine. Hopefully it’s long lasting and the 8 speed can be smooth enough

[@louisstennes4542]

I did my research and had a choice between an 18 RAV4 XLE hybrid with a lot of extra equipment like nav system, pwr seats, etc and a 19 RAV4 (hybrid not on sale yet) and I chose the 18 RAV4 hybrid. If you are in the market for a RAV4 and you can find an 18 leftover I would take it, Motor Trend tested seven CUVs and the RAV4 came in 4th. That is not saying much for Toyota and a new vehicle plus it was the most expensive tested at 38 grand. Check out Motor Trend. Things I like about the 18, the tried and true 2.5L engine. Maybe less power but also less complicated and there is no noise pad on the 19. The eight speed is not needed as it will hunt for gears too much. I like the CVT in the hybrid. I hate those screens that stick up from the dash. look cheap and to me it interferes with a clean view, also the outside mirrors just stuck on the fenders. I like where I set my own parking brake and also like the 18 shifter. I could go on but after looking at the 18 and 19 I am happy I chose the 18. The 19 may be the better of the two in styling but to me that is about it. I know a lot of you will disagree with me but the 18 with the tried and true 2.5LVVTI and six speed (my has a cvt) will last a long, long time.

[@whiterockrunner]

The one thing all the reviewers agree on one thing is that the 19 is waaaay better than the 18 in all respects! but to each his own. Looks like you made your choice and probably saved thousands. Good job!

[@louisstennes4542]

@@whiterockrunner Thanks. Very happy with my 18 hybrid.

[@Showtime-Steve]

My wife wants this car! Can you review the Honda Passports??

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I’ve got a video of the passport but not a trim level comparison like this. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYPbqJimqbxqq8k I also got to spend a week with a RAV4 and have a road trip type review if the RAV4 if you’re wanna see that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joaXm4KVe9iZeac

[@Showtime-Steve]

@@PrimeAutotainment Did you enjoy the Passport or the Rav4 more? Those are the two cars I am debating against.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Moua Valley it’s hard to compare because I only had a couple hours with the passport, unfortunately. The passport is a lot bigger inside and out so if that’s something you. We’d, definitely go for that. The RAV4 is still plenty spacious for most scenarios though. If I was buying one, it would be the RAV4 though. It’s a lot more efficient, costs less, can still offer lots of features...has a direct and port injected engine versus Honda’s direct injected only engine (bodes well for long term reliability) although the engine in the passport is still a solid engine. Which way are you leaning?

[@jrkin]

The MSRP is 25,650. Why are some dealers charging 27k and 28k for LE models?

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Jrkin lots of dealers have “add ons”...some more than others. It’s crap. I haven’t seen any dealers around here that don’t do that... 😕

[@diegocifuentes4872]

Excelente video 👍

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you! 😁

[@corpuzone]

I didn’t know that the le is way smaller than the other variants. Look at the size difference in width compared to the 2 outside rav4 suvs. It’s either that or you have a super wide lens that causes a minor fisheye effect lol

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yes sorry about that lol, it was a wide angle lens distorting those!

[@parkerburgio]

@primeautotainment could you do a 2019 Toyota 4Runner SR5? (Complete base model)? So many reviews are the top level trims and I would really love to just see what a normal car would be like. Thanks

Parker Burgio I have one of the 2018 SR5 “Premium” if you want to see that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZiremiQqc53qtk I made some mistakes and it was one of my first videos but it’s more basic than many of the other reviews. I tried getting back to this dealer and haven’t been able to get in contact with anyone 🤷‍♂️..so not sure if I’d be able to get one. Hope that video helps

zackychan financial the non JBL models are kind of flat with not a lot of base, but still reasonable. The JBL system sounds much better and has a fair amount of base and mix of highs and mids. I’m not a good judge of audio though lol

[@PrimeAutotainment]

TOYOTA IS THE BEST

[@22Kevi]

Strange that the XLE cost more than the limited. I like that Toyota has tailored the new Rav to meet so many different taste and needs. I'm finding it very hard not to trade my current Limited Rav in for the new one. However, for my money, I would probably option to get the XLE and option for the power driver seat. The only thing I would miss is the Memory Seat function, but I'd live.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Do you mean the adventure costing more? I was surprised too. It didn’t even have a leather steering wheel. I’m with you on the XLE and getting power seats. It’s always so hard to decided on trims and options lol

[@22Kevi]

Yes, I must've read that wrong. I'm still on the fence about having leather trim in something that you're kinda gearing towards being "off road" but I guess it would work for ease of cleaning. I also think it's weird to make the seats leather but make the wheel OPTIONAL" WTH? One thing's for sure this gen is very much a pricey one. I think I'll see where we're at in about 3yrs. Lol!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Yeah I know what you mean! You’re definitely right about the price...it climbs pretty quick! I’m sure it’ll still sell a lot but hopefully there are some discounts
