Toyota’s Rav4 is one of the most popular vehicles in its category. The compact SUV is a consumer favorite due to its longevity, resale value, mileage, cargo space, and comfortable ride. The 2019 Rav4 has been redesigned and upgraded to offer more standard features you’d normally pay for. Let’s see if 2019 was a great year for the Rav4.
How the 2019 Toyota Rav4 Drives
The Rav4 offers a 2.5-liter engine with 203 hp – a small improvement over last year’s model. This does mean that the acceleration is a bit more powerful. On top of that, the engine has been improved to offer 30 mpg combined, making it one of the most fuel efficient compact SUVs in the market.
As far as how it drives, the steering and handling has been slightly improved but it is more or less the same. The same applies to the acceleration and smoothness. If you have driven the previous Rav4 models before and felt great about it, then you’ll be happy about the small improvements made to all aspects of the SUV.
2019 Toyota Rav 4 – One of the Best Interiors in a Compact SUV
The Rav4 hasn’t been known for the most comfortable seats in its class, but it is still quite comfortable. Many aspects of the interior has been improved such as the climate control, quality materials, and visibility. The touch screen and dash is well designed and easy to use.
You can expect some of the best storage space from the Rav4. There is plenty of small item storage spaces, and the cargo space is among the highest in its category. Toyota’s general goal seems like they wanted to make small improvements across all areas and they’ve done a great job achieving that with the 2019 model.
Safety and Tech Features
You get the latest safety and tech features such as smartphone integration, adaptive cruise control, AEB, auto high beams, lane assist, voice control, rear cross traffic braking, and blind spot monitoring. Toyota has been very consistent with their safety and tech packages in the Rav4 every single year.
Is the Rav4 a Great Buy?
The Rav4 starts a little higher than other compact SUVs but there’s a good reason for this. You get some of the best safety and tech features that come standard. You also get a model that has had a strong reputation for its reliability and longevity. The resale value is also very high, so upgrading to a new SUV in the future doesn’t have to break the bank. Overall, Toyota has done a great job with the 2019 Rav4 by making small improvements in every area. If you liked the previous year’s model, it should be a no-brainer purchase.
