Instant familiarity! Don't know about previous years, but the 2019 Rav4 hybrid felt like an old friend the very first time I drove it. Much of the technology looks and feels just the same, with controls just where a Prius driver would expect them. The transition was mostly seamless. This is my first SUV/CUV. I fought the trend as long as I could, but 40 mpg was hard to pass up. The Rav will be our primary long-distance travel vehicle (more comfort, better visibility) with the Prius (the mpg champ) taking on the role of the 'round towner. Loving both!
I am a big fan of the 2019 Rav4 Hybrid. Why? It just looks so damn sexy! 40mpg in an SUV? Forget about the big 3 trying to copy that! The room it has inside, I really miss this type of room when driving the family on long trips Its a Toyota! Did I say I like the way it looks?
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That styling does nothing for me. However, I rarely buy cars based on how they look. I spend all my time inside them and don't see the outside that much.
