Toyota RAV4 (2013 - 2019) 2.0 D Business Edition 2WD (Leather) 5d Owner Review

The Toyota Rav4 is ideal for carrying large loads in comfort over long distances. The actual MPG I am getting is excellent for the class of car and engine size at 47.5, however I do a lot of long journeys on motorways, for just urban use the MPG go reduces to around 30. The ride is much better than stated by general car reviews and the power of the engine is great. My driving experience includes the 2015 Qashqai and Volvo XC60's. The Qashqai was under powered with the 1.5 engine, the Rav4 is close to the XC60 in performance, but much better MPG (by 10+). Mine is/was the top of the range and the parking sensors and camera are excellent. My biggest gripe about this car is for the included SatNav. As I travel a lot it is an intrinsic part of a car for me. It knows about Motorways and A roads, any thing else (B,C,D in the UK and the equivalents in Europe) fall under the same category. Therefore wherever you want to go that is below and A road it is as likely to direct you down a farm track as the B road next to it. I have got into trouble many times around the UK and in France being directed down unsuitable roads, when a perfectly fine route was a few hundred yards away. Having bought this up with Toyota, their response was "Yes - Have a nice day!". Having driven lots of cars with internal SatNavs, this is by far the worst on the road (not sure of the make fitted). Plus is it standard across all Toyota's (to my knowledge), so if you buy one, please do not rely on the SatNav and fit your own! Pros: Comfort & ride MPG for long journeys Parking sensors and camera Cons: SatNav Dashboard is a little dated and in bright sun, if you are wearing sunglasses it is difficult to read Attitude of Toyota Staff
