2019 Toyota RAV4 (Next Generation)

[Lakwatsero]

No test drive unit; in fact units are hard to come by, I got the only black unit available LE from TMI. No XLE or Limited available. Fuel economy is average for me, same as my Santa fe CRDI. EDSA rush hour traffic everyday, around 15l/100km

Nice, congrats! 200hp NA motor, port/ direct injection is impressive. I'm a sucker for high-output naturally-aspirated motors.

Let us know what fuel economy you get with the average speed reading to put things in perspective.

Nagkaroon din ng display unit ng LE sa TQA.

Medyo nalungkot ang relative ko.
Set na kasi siya kumuha ng CRV 2.0S (ayaw niya maliit na trunk ng 7 seater diesel). Kaso gusto niya umabot ng 20 years sasakyan. Sabi ko kung 10 years niya balak i keep, okay pa CRV. Pero kung 20 years, wala pa gaano proof para sa CVT.

Kaya ayun, tingin kami ng Rav4 LE, malayo nga sa interior materials at features. Pati seat comfort mas panalo ang CRV. Driving position parehas naman sila okay. Lamang lang talaga ng LE iyong 2.5 engine at 8AT for gas model. Tsaka gawa sa Japan.

Wala pa din discount.

Malalaos at maluluma din ang interior and gadgets sa sasakyan in about 5 years pag release ng bagong model. But a good engine and transmission will never go out of style.

Sabagay, oo nga. Plus kung hindi stessed ang engine, mas mahaba ang buhay.

Plain jane, though clean look. Okay din angular lines.

Last week I test drove my bro. In law's 2020 rav4 xle issued by his company's service vehicle. Sobrang light ng steering. Naka electric power steering ito siguro

Pic yan from last march around nag start yung lockdown.

EPS tuning is different for each car. Some EPS cars have a light feel on the steering at low speeds but starts feeling firmer when you are driving faster.

Toyota Grand Vitara? Suzuki RAV4?

Suzuki's Across is a restyled and rebadged Toyota RAV4

I would rather spend a bit more and get a CX9 over the RAV4. I guess it is worth the extra money.

Back in 2016, the TOTL RAV4 (AWD) was already over 2M. Toyota dealers don’t carry inventory so if you want one, it is thru intent order. It didn’t have much to offer against the top models of the CRV or Xtrail or CX5 or Forester. The RAV4 AWD was more than 200k more expensive than the Forester XT (2.066M vs 1.798M). The Forester XT has s more powerful engine, a better AWD system, a bigger trunk space, and drives better.

The T badge alone is worth 200k daw. 😂


With the TOTL models, the Rav4 definitely fails with pricing. It shined with base model before. But currently, the base model is too expensive now so I dunno. Wouldn't touch the xtrail though, jatco cvt.

Last time I checked, the current gen Highlander is built in the US and China.

In China they have two versions, the "Highlander" (similar to the US version) by the GAC-Toyota joint venture, and the "Crown Kluger" by the FAW-Toyota joint-venture.

The Crown Kluger has a sportier design similar to the US-market Highlander XSE.



PS: If Toyota imported the high-trim variant Highlander from the US, it would probably be priced close to the Ford Explorer Limited (P2.99M) and Subaru Evoltis aka Ascent (P3.48M).

^wala din Tax exemption kung Chinese version dalhin nila dito since 2.5 and 3.5L engine nya

[thearsenal1205]
