Car Confections I actually like it quite a bit and I'm a little biased as I've fallen in love with my wife's CR-V. I've had a sporty coupe, a classic 71, now I drive a 97 pickup, but my first and best was an 02 midsized SUV, Mazda Tribute, reliable as hell. Torn between a 5 door hatch or a smaller, still fun to drive SUV or "Crossover" for my first actual nice newish car purchase. No kids but two small-ish dogs, I love to drive and I'm almost set on the Mazda3 but always keep an open mind and eyes. Nice review, I'll be back for more.

Something I discovered, accidentally, (with my 2017 RAV4 Limited) was that the center arm rest (storage compartment lid) is adjustable. It slides forward about an inch or 2.

I’m expecting a new redesign 5th generation RAV4 2019 or RAV4 2020 will be a bit sportier and more aggressive, more eco, bigger, nicer, safer, stronger, and higher than this 4th generation . The front of the vehicle shall be semi- AUDI Q8 2018, and the rear of the vehicle shall be semi- BMW X7 2018 .

Thorough review overall. The XLE comes with smartkey access though, not unique to the platinum 23:05

@CarConfections 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks! At 23:05 I was actually referring to having smart access on all 4 doors (Platinum exclusive) versus only on the front 2 doors (optional or standard on the rest of the trims). Sorry for any confusion!

Ahhh... gotcha man. Do you know of anything new coming out for the 2018 that would be worth waiting for or?

@CarConfections 7 жыл бұрын

For 2018 there will be a new Adventure model with more off-road capable gear and trim pieces for appearance. There may be handful of equipment level changes (not announced yet) but there won't be any significant changes.

@irvgotti94 7 жыл бұрын

do the roof rails come standard on every trim level? my 2017 XLE did not come with any

@CarConfections 7 жыл бұрын

+Irving Bazua Hi Irving! Toyota very confusingly made changes to every trim in the middle of the 2017 model year. They deleted previously standard equipment and reduced the price, but did not indicate this with a change in model year. One of those features are the roof rails which are no longer standard. Thanks for watching!

The Rav4 needs more ground clearance. Every Rav4 I see has the tailpipe hanging too low. By the way, don't rev the engine, it proves nothing and is also very annoying. Nice review.. .

Informative and s l o w paced video. I liked how the RAV drives & standard radar cruise. I wish a reviewer would just call a duck a 'duck'. The Rav looks like a space ship or star wars helmet. Ugly. The packages and lines are odd (Le, XLE, act). For example, I've been looking for Apple Car Play, heated seats, AWD, and a back up camera. Simple. To get what I want requires a costly numerous package upgrades. Now the price is in prized CRV & Outback territory.

Car Confections i bought mine 2017 rav4 le fwd and it is not equipped with TPMS. I brought it back to the dealer and they said only the "US MADE" had TPMS but if it is build here in Canada, they don't have it. Is this true?

@CarConfections 6 жыл бұрын

Andrew Diano Hi Andrew. I am not sure who you spoke to, but tire pressure monitoring is required on all vehicles sold in the U.S. by law. Also there are no "U.S made" RAV4s since all North American RAV4s are all assembled in Ontario Canada. Hope this helps!

@CarConfections 6 жыл бұрын

Wait, do you live in Canada?

@anjod585 6 жыл бұрын

Car Confections Yes i do. I bought mine somewhere in Alberta, Canada. My really concern is i saw one promotional video from one dealer in Ontario and that Rav4 has TPMS on it. I am wondering why mine doesnt have one. Just last week one of my rear driver tire blown out while driving 80kph on a highway. If i only had TPMS i could have pull my car over and check my tire. I know one of the reason why your tire might blows out if your are running it flat.
