What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the new RAV4 is spacious, quieter and more refined than before, with a long electric range and easy-to-use infotainment. Autocar and Auto Express criticise cheap-feeling cabin plastics, and reviewers note body lean in corners; What Car? found it pricey for private buyers, and Autocar singled out an intrusive driver attention monitor.
