What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the fifth-generation RAV4 is practical, comfortable, refined and very reliable, with low running costs, a big boot and plenty of rear space. What Car? found it pricier than some rivals, less willing to change direction than a Honda CR-V and noisier on the motorway, while Autocar praised its controlled ride and accurate steering.
