Test Drove 2019 RAV4 LIMITED
I own a 2016 RAV4 SE AWD and I wanted to see how the 2019 RAV4 compared (I test drove the Limited FWD). I was expecting to see improvements all the way around, but I didn't feel that way after taking it out for a test drive. I guess that's to be expected, but I was disappointed with the engine noise - it makes the car feel cheaper in my opinion. Perhaps the HYBRID will be something more appealing when it comes out in the summer... This quote from Motor Trend about the new RAV4 was exactly how I felt - Angus MacKenzie summed up for the panel: "Good in parts, but we should expect more than that from a company with the resources and engineering capability of Toyota."

Disappointed
Just had a test drive of 2019 RAV 4 limited and limited hibrid. Both cars are carap. Sorry Toyota, my and extended family drive a fleet of 23 Toyotas. Of different models and trims. This is worst veihle ever. My 19 year old Camry v4 Le perform better than any 2019 RAV4. Gas feel better than hybrid. UNDERPOWERED and NOISY! Forester midrange model is much better! Hands down!

So sad!!! I want to trade it in
Bad gas mileage for 4 cylinder. The 8 speed transmission feels like I'm driving a standard shift. The smoothness of the transmission is non existent. Road noise very loud. Really this suv was not worth me giving up my 2009 Corolla with 200,000 miles on it. I'm heartbroken

Disappointment!
Test drove the vehicle the other day and unfortunately I have to agree with most of what's been said or written about it. We all know about the reliability and I for one like the new design so I wanted to drive it. However, the engine and road noise were too intrusive and overall feeling was of a cheaper vehicle than the almost 30k price tag suggested. Transmission also behaved somewhat indecisively at lower speeds.I know a huge company like Toyota could do much better, but apparently they don't have to ( see the sales). Just listen to the chief of engineer what he has to say about new Tacoma, and its clear that they focus on design, and are out of touch even with what Tacoma owners are wishing for. Too bad...

2019 RAV 4 Hybrid Completely Died
2019 RAV 4 hybrid with 500 miles on it was running great. Went to start after about a 100 mile out of town trip and check engine light came on. This was followed by a warning saying hybrid system malfunctioned, followed by a message saying car was in two wheel drive only and a very loud humming noise from engine compartment. I could not find any information in the owners manual on these faults, Toyota dealer was 1 mile from my location. I was able to slowly drive it there on engine only power. After 2 days of evaluation, and calling in advice from national office, they believe it is a bad water pump. Apparently this car has two, and the one that cools the hybrid drive failed. Supposedly, but they will not know if this corrects all the problems until the faulty pump is replaced. That was over a week ago, I had to leave my car at the dealer 120 miles away. I am told it will take almost 3 weeks to get the pump, there are none available in the US. This is not a good sign. As a loyal Toyota and Lexus customer I am really disappointed to say the least.
