Toyota RAV4 AWD Diagonal Test with Multi-Terrain Select | From Rock to Sand mode!

[@CarQuestion]

Best advice: Put it into ROCK MODE before you get stuck in the middle of the hill. Do not turn TCS OFF and let the system do the traction work for you! Mud and sand mode is better when you want to keep the momentum!

[@ukaszgrzybek2769]

In terms of comparison to Subarus SAWD what would you say which os better?

[@ZakElbas]

Thank you for the great video. Will be able to test the hybrid version as well? Much appreciated. Thank you

[@niuhuskieguy]

@@ukaszgrzybek2769 Given that this model is being advertised as having a true torque vectoring axle, I would say it didn't do all that good. A case of more advanced sounding on paper does not equal more advanced performance in the real world.

[@CarQuestion]

soon this summer!

[@CarQuestion]

Rav4: more fuel efficient Snow: Equals for fun, both bring back the traction system or stability pass a certain speed. Subaru will have an edge when you are on the highway because it's always there! offroad: Similar but the suspension of the Forester makes it smoother. predictable: Subaru, same result every time Reverse testing: Rav4 domination! oops did I spoiled something ;p

[@jasonguy6572]

that did pretty good considering the back right tire was on snow and every other test was done on dry. mazda cx9 failed on dry asphalt and this passed on snow and diagonal

[@adventureforesterblog]

Thanks for the video! Rock & dirt mode seems to help a lot! Similar way than x-mode helps new Forester. Next the RAV4 hybrid variant i-AWD? That would be super interesting!

[@CarQuestion]

Next on the list is Lexus Ux with hybrid awd ;]

[@adventureforesterblog]

@@CarQuestion That is interesting as well! Can't wait! Do you know whether the UX AWD specs are close to some other T/L model? Specially the rear axle motor.

[@alexyakuba2805]

Thank you. As usual, the most in depth test out there, in my opinion.

[@JohnnyUkeOfficial]

Not bad Toyota. Most people with regular RAVs w/AWD probably won't even attempt something like this except for people that own the Adventure trim. But it's nice to see it can get out of sticky situations if needed.

[@mjfamgo6563]

First at all its sleet on the floor. The car did very well. The awd works with momentum its not a truck and even a truck would not do much better. Overall its great. Tires are subpar. Its a momentum system. If you get alltrac tires and lift another 2 inches it will do just as good as most trucks in 98% of offroading scenarios.

[@wolvesdengaming4844]

MJ you have not a clue 1.) the awd system sucks end of story it failed big time 2.) this are snow tires 3.) clearance wasn’t an issue here and it still failed what is lifting it more gonna do to help...

[@subazealand9158]

I really thought it was going to be better than this. Still is a much better system than older Ravs, but not like what we saw with Subaru

[@Crap783851]

The old Rav4's can't even go up the ramp at any mode.... so is the Highlander. I was very disapointed too.... looks like they don't want to share technologies with the 4Runner.

[@subazealand9158]

@@Crap783851 few days ago I took an Adventure model (new). I tried to climb a similar hill as this, but with grass and dirt. I used the rock and dirt mode, and the first thing I found, was the exhaust are too exposed on this car. Second, as soon I was with the 4 wheels back on the ground going up, the Rav4 struggled to continue. It was like there was no power going to the wheels, and no wheel spin at all. I had to move the front wheels left to right and the Rav4 gained traction. So basically it did the job, I don't know why the struggled, but I felt the car was capable, is just that the system took longer to understand the problem. But I got more disappointed of the approach and departure angles and the fact that still feels like a 2wd capable to send power to the rear wheels.

[@sgtpepper6379]

Cool test. Just to be clear, is this their regular AWD system (dynamic torque control, with multi terrain select) or the system with the new Dynamic Torque Vectoring as found standard on the Adventure model and as an option on the Limited? I see you are testing a Limited, and for sure these can come with the new Dynamic Torque Control system as on the Adventure. If this is the "regular" system, then it's actually not too bad! Thanks!

Good test to show the different modes and abilities of the rav4 awd. I did have the opportunity to drive a rav4 awd loner for the morning about a year ago while my tundra was getting an oil change and found it to be a nice little compact suv. The reality is unless you are hardcore you most likely won't utilize the benefits of these types of vehicles.

[@subazealand9158]

It does claim that. In fact, on papers has a superior AWD system than Subaru, but as you see here, Toyota still prefer to leave the real off road setup for the big brothers.

[@the.magnus]

Baltazar Campos Nieto pls link the marketing material directly from Toyota where they say the RAV4 is an off-road vehicle? Superior AWD does not necessarily mean off road capability, and of course Toyota would reserve the real off road technology and components for the land cruiser, these cars appeal to different market and price segments.

[@subazealand9158]

@@the.magnus you said it does not claim to be capable, I didn't say an off road vehicle. Toyota it does say this is a more capable vehicle than before, reason why they made an all new AWD for limited and Adventure models.

[@the.magnus]

Baltazar Campos Nieto I said "nor does it claim to be a capable OFF ROAD VEHICLE". You replied "it does claim that", so I was interested to see what was said by Toyota as It would be awesome if it could do off-road. Maybe we misunderstood each other.

[@AmazianLinsation82]

Rav4 is not a hummer. No one said this is an actual off road vehicle. It is a crossover, which means it is for city folks who live in snowy climates and this is adequate enough to get by 7 inches snow days during morning commute to work as opposed to a 2wd sedan stuck on the drive way. Stop all the hate about its lack of off-road capability. Go get a dune buggy if you want off road experience

[@wolvesdengaming4844]

AmazianLinsation82 they marketed it as off-road worthy...

[@Crap783851]

Toyota make it sound so much capable on paper but it looks like it is just a small step up from the previous Rav4 awd system (which is terrible). I wonder why most systems turns off their TCS off to get a better result but its the opposite for the Rav4.

[@damonreynolds6775]

This would be more realistic with a horde of salivating extras chasing the car. When the Z apocalypse comes there won't be this kind of time for an AWD system to sort itself out. Kidding, nice car, like it much better than outgoing Rav

So this is the "better" Toyota awd system in the Rav4? Does it have the Falken AT tires I thought I heard the Adventure model comes with, or some other tire? Not too impressive...

[@DHEvans]

I test drove the 2019 RAV4 in a bad Canadian winter storm and enjoyed the ability to select the amount of wheel slippage. I have no need for off road capability but if I am loaded to the brim with skiers and passengers trying to climb a snow covered driveway, I would rather have this RAV4 than a CRV. Add the dynamic rear wheel torque vectoring on the RAV4 AWD and stability improves in dry and wet conditions. I think the point is to perform better than the main competition and in this AWD case I think Toyota have.

[@subazealand9158]

Perform better under which circumstances? Subaru reacts quicker and better than here...check on this video, how the wheels on the air still spinning crazy even the car is climbing. X-Mode really stop those wheels (and does that quicker) to send all the possible power to the wheels with better traction. A new CR-V on this same situation reacts quicker than the Rav4, although doesn't have off road mode selection or active vectoring blah blah blah.

[@DHEvans]

Sorry, I don't see a link to your Subaru video. I agree there are many different circumstances you can test an AWD system and these days everything has become electronically controlled. My 1991 Subaru Legacy AWD required more driver skill and understanding than a modern X-mode Subaru. Even Subaru admits this. See description of all the electronic gadgets in X-mode. www.stanleysubaru.com/blog/2014/may/30/how-does-subaru-xmode-work---advantages-of-using-subarus-xmode.htm Toyota on the other had is giving back more control to the driver with multi-terrain select AND it does not shut off after 18 mph like the Subaru X-mode. Everyone knows about the famous Subaru AWD system but unless you are driving an STI , their new systems require less driver input. I believe this is in part due to adopting CV transmissions. ( Subaru fuel economy has never been great so to be competitive they have adopted CV ). Toyota is a famous manufacturer of rugged 4WD systems and developed a reputation with vehicles like the Land Cruiser FJ40, Hilux, Tacoma, Tundra and now I see they are making the RAV4 a little more rugged. The RAV4 engine produces more torque than Honda CRV and Toyota's traditional automatic now has eight speeds for applying torque, towing and using the more driver oriented AWD system. Honda CRV appear to be more interested in creating a pleasant urban driving experience with a turbocharged engine and CV transmission with an invisible AWD system used mainly in shopping mall parking lots. Toyota RAV4 is more versatile and could attract customers away from JEEP, another famous 4WD manufacturer.

This was definitely painful to watch. And not reassuring.

Cecil Henry should just buy Subaru... problem solved.

@@DrewTimelapse until you burn the CVT out of the Subaru. Read these other comments on here. One guy went through 3

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

This one was light years ahead of the previous generation Rav4...you should watch videos featuring them...you'll agree lol

[@baetsimpson]

@@MemphisMojo15s The CVT is fine, and you'd have to be unlucky to burn through 3 JATCOs (much worse than Subarus).

Does the Toyota RAV4 hybrid 2019 have a particulate filter GPF Gasoline Particulate Filter (in EU)?

[@DanLekin]

No. Toyota HSD doesn't need a filter to conform with Euro 6D (temp), as you drive about 50% of the time in EV mode. I have the Auris II and it's nearly full electric in town. Local (urban) emissions is not a problem with HSD. If everyone would drive a full hybrid (not a silly 48V mild hybrid) there would be no discussions about that...

[@TWARDOWSKY.]

Dan Lekin I just get a answer from Toyota in EUROPE, in accordance with EU law all petrol engine begin from 1.2019 also RAV4 HYBRID have GPF! what a pity :(

[@DanLekin]

does this come on 2019 rav4 LE base model?

[@Carubines]

Supposeably there awd on this limited is not the same as there le and xle im dieing to find that video

[@TnTTyler]

What a joke......struggles big time, can't believe they even gear a model towards "offroading"

[@kartboarder22g17]

This is the limited so it's the highest trim therefore has the same AWD system as the adventure. This is very sad.

[@NiNjaTurtLe697]

Kartboarder22G incorrect

[@kartboarder22g17]

@@NiNjaTurtLe697 No I am correct, go ahead go to their webside they have 3 AWD drivetrains for 2019 on the RAV4. They have the standard last year AWD garbage drivetrain on all trims up to Adventure. Then they have the Hybrid AWD which is a single ekectric motor in the rear on Hybrid AWD versions. Finally on the Limited and the Adventure AWD trim they have the torque vectoring AWD system that is shown in this video. I was expecting so much more, and come away so disappointed after this video. But because this torque vectoring rear AWD system has a electric disconnect at the back of the tranny, I'm guessing this is causing the pathetic results.

[@tinhinnh]

TnTTyler you’re a joke. “adventure” doesn’t mean “rock crawling”

[@pattycarljackson]

I wouldn’t even say off-road just for the fact it has shitty tires and ground clearance is garbage too.

[@jmcafee6564]

So why would anyone turn off TCS in a RAV4 with AWD? Does keeping TCS off improve mileage, performance, handling? Just curious.

[@CarQuestion]

No ... not until you need full momentum in a delicate situation or just hooning Viewers asked us to test it
