Toyota RAV4 (06 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 03 February 2006 Last Updated: 23 February 2011 The RAV4 has become one of the most successful small 4x4s since it was originally launched in 1994. So much so in fact, that it has inspired plenty of offroaders from other carmakers. With ever more competition, it has had to constantly improve and as a result it's now one of the best 4x4s on the market, helped by an excellent reputation for reliability. The engine choice is limited to one diesel and one petrol, but inside there's a neatly-styled and good quality cabin, while on the road it's refined and comfortable. Newer offroaders may be more stylish, but the RAV4 remains a great choice and one that's guaranteed to never let you down. It was upgraded in 2009 with more powerful engines and subtle exterior changes. 4 out of 5 Other Toyota reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Volkswagen Tiguan (08 on) Neatly styled, robust interior, comfortable and safe on the move, off-road version available, BlueMotion versions available Alternatives are better value for money, 1.4 TSI engine feels sluggish Read full review 4 out of 5 Ford Kuga (08 on) Stylish looks, car-like handling, premium interior, refined and economical diesel Restricted choice of engines, limited off-road ability, no clever rear seat folding system Read full review 4 out of 5 Honda CR-V (07 on) Great in corners, unique styling, superb build quality, excellent diesel engine, refined Not really an off-road vehicle, firm ride, no seven seat option Read full review Find other 4x4 cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
