2019 Toyota RAV4 (Next Generation)

[Akky M]

Rav4 AWD is one my family choice last Oct’21. When we check with the dealership, no firm delivery schedule during that time.

Decided to get the 22 Outback. Hopefully availability for Rav4 Hybrid will improve this time.

Rav4 Hybrid has a good following in US and Australia market.

Did a lot of things on the ‘Ravvy’ during the lockdown, like parking sensors, front and rear cameras and this one:

In a hybrid, will the aircon compressor run on batteries alone? ...

I can't speak for the local Corolla/Cross

Pero my experience with the Prius (overseas), yes.

That's why I always hated the start/stop system... A/C stops blowing cold air if your stop is taking longer than usual (CR breaks). with a hybrid... A/C still blows cool air.

toyota/denso have these electrically driven ac compressors.

Okay naman I guess, although nasa around 3000km pa lang since Nov2019 so haven’t driven it that much.

Just want to share that I got a Rav4 HEV XLE about 2 weeks ago, been doing 16km/L pure city traffic rush hour to/from CBD total 20-30km daily running on 91octane. Based on the EPA estimate of 40mpg which is 17km/L, I still can improve likely based on driving style. So far been trying to see how to best maximize using/charging the battery. Sold my CRV diesel which was doing 10km/L.

Initial impressions are it's really quiet in the cabin, very comfortable and easy to drive. I don't miss the torque of the CRV since the Rav4 also pulls very good and given the speed limit of 60kph haven't been able to drive it faster than that. The things I miss on the CRV are I appreciate the bigger internal space esp rear leg room and that it's doors open to almost 90 degrees.

errr,
from where to CBD and back, po?

so how's the tagtag factor? is it smoother than the crv?

Qc to Makati. I don't find it tagtag. I feel it is just as smooth on paved roads but I do notice that when I hit pot holes that it is more firm than the CRV.

Any leads on where to source 0w-16? My warranty is expiring this November and I want to do DIY oil change every 6 months.

Just curious, would like to ask if you were logging/recording the average speed on the interval you got the 16km/l on the full tank of gas for city driving (if yes, what was it)? Or if it was just the fuel economy average reading stored by the car, but not verified by full tank method yet?

Thanks.

Hi, it's the average reading on trip meter so far since the first full tank of gas, haven't been able to do the full tank method yet, maybe another week or so when I fill it up again.

I have a RAV4 hybrid and kept track of my fuel economy using the full tank method.

Starting ODO i tracked: 970 km

Liters - ODO - KM/L ------ Reading from dashboard km/l
39.89 - 1728 - 19.00 ------ 19.1
19.35 - 2088 - 18.60 ------ 19.1
50.46 - 3032 - 18.71 ------ 19.4 *** Almost 1000km on a tank in metro manila
25.674 - 3555 - 20.37 ----- 20.4

I'd say that the dashboard reading is pretty accurate to about ~3-5%.

Unfortunately I cannot find if the car stores my average speed per full tanks.

My route is las pinas to makati (using skyway) or BGC (slex - C5). I would actually lose a little fuel efficiency going a steady 100km/h then gain it back once I hit slower moving traffic. I admittedly will avoid the brunt of traffic by leaving earlier than usual, but I don't baby it when driving.

Regarding the oil, I am also disappointed that CASA does not use 0w16 (I talked with the SA, they do have 0w-xx but use it only for supra / GR Yaris), but 5w30 is recommended in the manual anyway and I am getting fuel economy that more than matches the US EPA (albeit their model is a 4x4), I am happy with it. Also I am thinking that the added cost of the 0w-xx oil probably nullifies fuel further economy savings. I am no oil expert but i think that the next step will be 5w-20 oil when DIY'ing will be the closest to 0w-16 since the 'w' is oil viscosity at really low ambient temps. 5w-20 is also recommended in the manual anyway.

Thank you for this information. Very helpful info. =)

Good stuff

I've subscribed to The Car Care Nut in Youtube (ex-Toyota mechanic) and he highly recommends 0w-16 and doing oil changes every six months. My unit is, I would say, low mileage (4600+kms in almost 3 years).

Sweet!

My dream wheel setup would be Deltaforce Oval Matte Black paired with 245/65/17 BFG KO2 or Toyo Open Country R/T

+ Eibach Lift springs or Tanabe UP210

Is there one available locally?

That lift kit is around $900 I think; the Eibach is at around $350. Problem is, our local off road shops only cater for Jimnys, Hiluxes, Raptors and the like. Not many choices in 5x114.3 "off-road" looking wheels; only 6x139
