LE Packed with features for a low price.
Traded in a 2017 Corolla sport for this and we are in love with it (so far). It almost gives the same mpg. The new look is great, it makes it look tuffer. Our dealership gives the best warranty and lifetime oil changes. Will update if I change my mind.

My second Rav4
I just leased this Rav4 on Sunday, 2/18/19, so still won't be able to comment on MPG, etc. I previously had a 2017 Rav4 XLE, and now have the 2019 XLE. I have a lot of nice new features on this Rav, and I like the added safety features. Doesn't have the navigation, but I really didn't use it much, but the Car Play will let me use Google Maps or Waze, so not a big deal. The placement of the radio controls is different on this model. Volume on the left, switching presets, etc on the right. But not a big deal. I like that it has the Snow, Mud & Dirt, etc controls. Though, was surprised to read that the Limited trim has a slightly different AWD? Wonder why.

I love it. Only problem I have is the radio reception when we were in the mountains was not great. But I am going to try a booster antenna because it is a minor thing.

Out with the old, in with the new
Had a 2006 Sport RAV4 got it brand spanking new, never had any problems. Gave it to my son 3 weeks ago when I bought a 2019 RAV4 XLE AWD, because I loved my 2006, Well low and behold after I gave my son my 2006 the alternator goes out, I think my old RAV4 was mad at me for replacing it 🙁. Can’t write a review on my new RAV4 haven’t had it long enough but I hope it lives up to my 2006 and I get a lot of years with it.

I love my new 2019 Rav 4
I recently bought a 2019 RAV4 from Prestige Toyota in Kingston,NY. John Hutton was my sales person and was exceptional. He explained to us all about the vehicle and was very confident in his approach. I felt that he knew exactly what he was talking about whenever he explained any detail of the car. John was a pleasure to deal with and I will recommend him to help anyone with their sale of a new or used vehicle from Prestige.

Go getter
I am 6 foot 2 inches, and my only worry was will my chin and knees get to know each other a little too much, but surprise surprise it has a lot of leg room, not to mention height. The ride is a lot better than I had thought it would be, and I'm very impressed with the gas mileage I get here in town, not taken any trips yet so don't know how it does on the open road, but it's doing around 28 mpg in town, so I'm thinking it will be doing a lot better on the open highway.

Having a rough start
I purchased a 2019 RAV4 in late September with about 58,000 miles on it. Knowing the reliability of Toyota products, and having had a RAV4 previously, I was confident I was getting a good vehicle. Unfortunately, I have had issues with it, which thankfully the dealership has worked with me to resolve. The car has had to have a software update and the rack and pinion for the power steering replaced. I’m also burning oil for some reason and there are some lurching issues, which I hope is not an indication the transmission is going out. I did a bit of research and saw that the 2019 RAV4 can have transmission and fuel pump issues as well as power steering issues. Toyota is a very good company and I believe they do what they can to resolve those types of issues so I’m not losing hope that this will turn out to be a good buy and not a lemon.
Noise and rourg
This is one vehicle I hated after a few months. Very noise and jerks in low speed. Ride is just ok. I should have listen to my neighbor and got a CRV instead.

Gearbox bangs when going up driveway !!!
My 2019 RAV4 Hybrid just has one problem that I hope to soon have addressed at the dealership. I slow when approaching my short driveway which has a slight incline to it. As soon as I'm in the middle of the driveway, a gear box slips then re-engages causing a very loud bang underneath the car. I'm not sure what is causing this problem, but it's very annoying when I come home after a drive. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks.

Not a Honda
The get up and go got up and went. Terrible at acceleration and it is so noisy. We complained a number of times about the noisy interior, not just the engine and transmission but the cabin itself. We were told they fixed the problem with newer models but looking at the reviews they haven’t fixed the problem. I wish I listened to my son who had one and couldn’t wait to get rid of it. I regret buying this vehicle.

A few issues, but I have them too...
I have had my 2019 Rav 4 XLE for 1 year now. I bought it with only 8 miles on it. I love how quick the Rav 4 responds when in sport mode. In regular mode it just drives like a 4 cylinder which is what I bought so that is ok. Honestly I haven't had any issues. Yes the engine is loud but I don't mind. Yes there are lots of noises in the cabin but most of the time I drive with the radio on. I don't much care for the touch screen for how much this vehical cost, I do expect a lot more this day and age. I love all the safety features. Adaptive cruise is my favorite. The auto high beams doesnt work all that well. The lane assist is ok and works fine. I love the look of the Rav 4. The color is beautiful. Doesn't seem to be any isuues with the engine. I guess maybe the transmission can be a little doggy at times. It drives well through snow and rain. I definitely feel more secure on the road. Twice this vehical has stopped me from hitting another vehical and deer. I should mention I was under 60 miles per hour both times. I will never buy another vehical without automatic braking again. The snow mode works great when driving under 45. I have not used the off road package yet.. i did noticed the undercarriage is covered. I love the gas mileage because I drive 40 miles one way everyday to work. After 5000 miles I got over 30 miles to the gallon. I currently have 18000 miles on it now. (We use my husband's vehical too) I am glad there is no start stop. Over all, I am satisfied with my Rav 4. I would recommend you buy one.
Great SUV
This is our second Rav4, traded up from a 2016. We purchased it for our daughter, she drives it to school, 2 miles each way, and averages 27mpg. We drove it last weekend, it's first road trip, and averaged 33.5 mpg. It is a XLE Premium AWD. She loves the car. It was a year old 2/2020 and now has 5100 miles.

Transmission is awful!
Save yourself some time and don't buy a 2019 Rav4. I traded mine in after only one year of ownership for a 2013 Siena with a transmission that doesn't lurch! I think the rav I traded in should be parted out rather than resold to some other poor soul.
Loaded...with Problems
I also had the grinding and mooing sound in my RAV4 Adventure. I took it to the dealer who fixed it, and 6000 miles later it started again. Toyota sent a 125K mile warranty for the part that causes the issue, but I don't want to go to the dealer every 6000 miles and have to prove to them that it's making the sound again before they fix it. Also the traction control is starting to go out. I also thought the transmission was jerky and slow to react. It would pause when accelerating from a stop before taking off - annoying and dangerous. It doesn't have the CVT transmission like a lot of newer cars, making for a more old-fashioned drive. I also felt like I was driving a big, slow tank. There is a range of VINs to avoid if you're buying this car, that are impacted by the grinding problem. Check out the service bulletins online - they list the range. I'd at least avoid those, but would not recommend this vehicle, in general. It's not good quality. I usually buy and keep cars for 10 years. I had to get rid of this one after only one year. First and last Toyota for me.

Super slow in comparison to other same category sa
2.5 liters should give you a good feel when you accelerate but not with rav 4. Excessive engine noise is another issue. Cheap plastic parts. Seats are not comfortable at all and starting a make noise with in first year of use. Touch screen is not very responsive after few weeks and streeing mounted buttons and door buttons are for day use only as they don't light up in the dark you have to train your brain to learn them. Only thing is it's good on gas. Smooth ride. And a few safty features keep your insurance low some times. And oil change cost is low.

Leased for 3 years then bought it. Love it.
Happy RAV4 adventure!
Bought 2019 RAV4 adventure. Had grinding noise too. It’s torque vectoring clutch making noise. Dealership fixed by changing clutch. It’s under warranty because it’s a manufacturer problem. Never had problems with performance just a noise. Don’t regret my purchase! Love my RAV4. Dealerships know this problem. They should fix it. Only took one day to repair.
2019 RAV4 Limited
Attractive, comfortable, but noisy on the road. Good gas mileage. Small read -outs on dash, not user-friendly.
Best mid size SUV
Excellent vehicle in every respect very happy with it 41 mile per gallon on the highway Just turned over 40,000 miles. Rav hasn't been in the shop for any reason. Just normal maintenance.Thinking of trading it in only to maintain the value. Will definitely buy another one! Only complaint, it is a tad noisy, both engine noise upon acceleration and road noise.

Leaking roof racks
To those of you who currently own a 2019 Toyota RAV4, keep your eyes on the headliner and the floor for signs of leaks. My 3 1/2-year-old Toyota RAV4 was leaking from the roof racks! The SUV was never in an accident nor was anything ever placed on the roof. Clearly, the cause of the leak was a manufacturing defect. My cost to replace the roof racks was $783 PLUS $140 to diagnose the leak. To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. Their well-paid spokesperson, Jan, should replace her "Let's go places" ad campaign with "Let's drive to the dealer and get those roof racks replaced".

Super Fun and Sporty SUV
Traded in my Tacoma because I needed something with better gas mileage and since I got it, I've been getting anywhere from 29-32 MPG compared to the 17-19 MPG I was getting in my Tacoma. Everything in the Rav is easily accessible and there is plenty of room for everyone. Absolutely love my new Rav 4.

Roof Rail Leak
We were one of the (many) unlucky ones to experience interior water damage due to the failed seals around and under the low-profile roof rails just two months after the 36 month warranty expired (driven under 30,000 miles, garaged 100%, hand-washed 90%). Toyota offered no help for the water damage repairs. We called Toyota Brand Experience and were passed around. We were often promised call-backs but rarely got them. Google "RAV4 Roof Leak" and watch the videos and read the many discussion threads before buying. Or, if you own one, you may want to cut and run before it's too late.

Super Loud and No Pick Up
I leased the 2019 RAV4 Limited and honestly I almost swore off Toyota for a while after the first few months of driving it (We've been driving Toyotas for 25+ years). After the 6-cyl Highlander, the RAV4 was a huge disappointment, super draggy when accelerating and the engine had a sporadic goose honk sound that was deemed as "normal for this model" by the service staff. I don't love that the front passenger seat is manual but it seems so many manufacturers are moving to that as standard. I love the size, most of the interior amenities, the safety features, etc... but the noise and low energy driving was too much for me. I was happy to pass this one back to the dealership--but I did love the Hybrid version so they sucked me back in.

Nice
It's a nice ride. just wish it had more HP and Torque. I have the JBL sound system. I have irritated my neighbors a few times play Hair bands as loud as it will go with no distortion. I get about 20mpg in the city around 27 on interstate. No problems and only 1 recall. Had the thermostat stick open. Dealer wanted 120.00 for diagnostic service even though I told then what was wrong. Then another 875 for parts and labor. it only had 27500 miles on it.

Leaking/water retention
I bought my limited rav 4 July of 2019. I experienced my first issue in 2022. I noticed after an heavy rainfall, my headliner above drivers seat was soaking wet. After many trips back and forth to the dealership, they finally discovered it was coming from roof rack. Fixed it, moved on. I am now noticing the doors fill up with rain water. I don’t have a garage so it is out in the elements 24/7. I wound up clearing a clogged drain on each door and drained about a gallon of water from each door. I’m trading her in at this point…

New Blue Wheels
Love it! Clean and dependable ride. Pleasure to own.
I'm in love
I absolutely love my RAV4! It handles well, it's clean, nice features to it and I love the color! And most exciting it gives me killer gas mileage! I do home Health and I used to have to fill up my Kia twice a week and I can get a whole week's worth of driving out of a tank of gas with my RAV4!
4 years and 30k
4 years in and 31k with the gas rav 4 No repairs, regular maintenance first two years were free, dealer added one more free.solid as day one.no squeaks rattles, outstanding mpg here in New England. The vehicle has seemed to adapt to my driving style and is smooth, predictable,and dependable. Complaints?Minor. Tough getting in and out Drivers seat after 2 hours uncomfortable. Seat cushion solves that. I am not surprised so many are purchased.

Rav4
My second one, the first I had 120k without issues. The key is regular maintenance
Will never own another one
My main complaint with this vehicle is the infotainment system - which is app-based. The car does not come standard with GPS - you have to use the app called Scout which gives terrible directions and inaccurate timings. Everything is app-based, therefore you need unlimited on your phone. Then, if you have no phone signal, nothing works. Half the time when the Toyota decides to do an update it stops connecting to your phone. It is not Android Auto or Apple Auto based, so it truly is absolute crap! The car itself, drives fine, also when needing to get up to speed quickly it sounds like you’re killing it. It is very economical though I cannot wait to trade this in for something else, I have never been so unhappy with a vehicle

Love my Rav4 Hybrid
Just bought my Rav4 Hybrid 4 3 days sgo. Have driven both city and highway. I got XLE that had alit of features on it. Seats r comfortable. The LE I sat in, the seats were not comfortable. Car drives very easily. Have driven lots for 3 dsys. Have only used 1/8 tank of gas. Power driver seat is nice. Dual front seat zone climates for driver and front passenger are nice. My husband likes his side to be warmer. Now we can do that. Ok let’s address the noise when backing up that some talk about. At first I said whst is that noise? Well to me it sounded like angels in choir. I know that sounds crazy. Thats what I thought of. It is not offensive. Other very nice features.
