Toyota RAV4 SUV Excel (JBL Premium sound system) AWD Hybrid 2.5 VVT-i auto 5d Owner Review

Its much better than the miserly "rating" of 3.8 given on this site. Look instead at the "Verdict"page which gives an overall averaged verdict of 4.23 (higher than for example the karoq or CRV) for a truer reflection. I'm happy with pretty much everything, including the infotainment (includes CarPlay now) and after just a few hundred miles of mixed driving I'm seeing 57mpg average, which is quite spectacular for a petrol auto 4WD mid-size SUV! Yes the engine/transmission gets a little noisy for a few seconds when you rev it hard joining a motorway or overtaking, but it soon drops back to a hush and mostly its a very relaxing and comfortable car to drive. A roomy interior and boot, good safety equipment, a 5 year warranty and 2 years interest free PCP all also helped the purchase decision. The owners manual is however quite poor, particularly concerning descriptions and user instructions related to the various standard safety systems. Apart from that small niggle, some height adjustment on the centre armrest would be my only wish.
