RAV4 hybrid noise
Does a 2019 rav 4 hybrid make a funny noise when in reverse to warn pedestrian
Pros
Excellent value for money
Stylish design
Fuel-efficient
Cons
Outdated technology

Toyota's popular RAV4 Hybrid compact SUV has become a Prius wearing 4Runner clothing.

I stopped noticing the RAV4 when Toyota removed the external spare tire and the side-hinged tailgate. Those were vestiges of traditional truck style that suggested adventure. The body, from the first model in 1996 until the third generation ended in 2015, was upright and mostly square, like a baby Land Cruiser. Then the 2016 model arrived, looking soft and contoured. It had all the excitement of a throw pillow with no semblance of a Recreational Activity Vehicle.
But the new RAV4 nails it. Gas or gas-electric, the RAV4's design echoes Toyota's classic trucks. The front is 4Runner, a big flat slab of trapezoids and flexing surfaces where the fog lights, grille, headlights, and lower chin spoiler fit into different planes. The hood has a milder angle instead of the extreme cab-forward look of the last RAV4.
The fenders and wheel wells have hard creases like the head of a bolt. The side glass reclaims the original RAV4's large greenhouse. Toyota paid attention to the tail, with distinct sections for the raked glass that let the chiseled taillights extend past the rear quarter panels, and a handsome section of lower black trim rising from the fenders that visually lowers the body. On my test car's XSE trim—a sport version exclusive to the Hybrid—all that black trim was glossy instead of matte, including on the roof, A-pillars, mirrors, fender flares, and 18-inch wheels. If this is how hybrids look in 2019, sign me up.
Same goes for the interior. Oversize knobs with rubber padding and large buttons look like they've been taken straight off the Tundra, though the cabin quality is several grades higher. Padded dash and door trim with blue stitching, thin bands of silver trim around the center stack and slim air vents, a thick PRNDL gear selector, tall door handles, a soft steering wheel, and snug front seats with blue-striped cloth inserts and shoulder bolsters made even my all-black interior look (and feel) upscale. The RAV4 isn't meant to be a hardcore truck, but it sure looks the part from every angle.

It may seem counterintuitive that an eco-minded hybrid model accelerates faster and handles better than its gasoline counterpart, but that's exactly how the RAV4 Hybrid behaves. While the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is detuned to run on the lazier Atkinson cycle, it combines with the two electric motors at either axle and a 1.6-kilowatt battery to produce 219 horsepower and a surge of torque missing from the regular model (its torque maximum remains unrated due to the variable operation of hybrid systems). What's interesting is that, instead of using lithium-ion batteries, which it has implemented on the latest Prius, Toyota decided to stick with the older nickel-metal hydride chemistry. These batteries keep a more consistent state of charge, especially in cold weather, despite being heavier and larger. They're also cheaper and have proven to be reliable after 20-plus years and several million Toyota hybrids sold.
Like any Toyota hybrid, the RAV4 drives so effortlessly around town that you'll never notice when the engine is on or off. It's quiet and seamless. Even on the highway, where the engine shuts off while coasting, you'd really have to study the car's live graphic display to figure out how the hybrid system is routing power and recapturing energy for the battery. It's not a fast car by any means, but the continuously variable transmission (CVT) doesn't strain the engine at high revs much when you peg the throttle. However, the standard all-wheel drive (AWD) is sometimes slow to counter wheelspin. Braking is the RAV4 Hybrid's sore spot, or rather its squishy spot. That's how the pedal feels at any speed. It's not reassuring, and it's annoying that in 2019, Toyota still hasn't bothered to mimic the feel of a traditional braking system like Honda has with its hybrids.
What saves the RAV4 Hybrid is its stable, flat-footed handling and connected steering, both of which surprised me on my test route and during a road trip from southern Connecticut to Amherst, Massachusetts. The XSE version brings sport-tuned dampers and springs that actually do what they advertise without compromising ride quality. It's a noticeable difference from the regular RAV4. The steering tracks faithfully straight and responds quickly for a family crossover—another thing you won't find on a Nissan Rogue, a Chevy Blazer, or most competitors. It was alarming but in a very good way. Several driving modes are available, including Sport, which tightens up the steering feel a little more. A Trail mode assists on slippery surfaces.
Then, of course, there's the fuel efficiency. I averaged 36 mpg over 400 mostly highway miles, half of which included luggage and two more adults on board. The EPA rates the RAV4 Hybrid at 41 mpg city, 38 highway, and 40 combined (the previous RAV4 Hybrid could do only 34/31/33). In a high-riding vehicle that isn't at all styled like the egg-shaped Prius, that's exceptional.

Sightlines are also good in all directions, and there's no sacrificing cargo or space with the hybrid, either. Cargo volume is 37.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats—huge—and 70 with the rear seats folded. Plus, there's a spare tire underneath the cargo floor. Legroom is very generous in the second row, which manually reclines, and on a 95-degree day, the air conditioning chilled the cabin in no time. Some vehicles like the Volkswagen Tiguan have horrible AC that takes 20 minutes or more to feel somewhat cool.
The big knobs and switches do wonders for ergonomics, although controls for the windows, locks, and mirrors aren't illuminated at night. That's my only criticism. Otherwise, the shortcut buttons surrounding the infotainment screen, separate climate controls, steering-wheel controls, and a large digital speedometer that doubles as an info display for navigation, audio, and other functions are all very easy to use and read.

The infotainment interface is better than what you'll find in Lexus models, which don't use a touchscreen and rely on a wonky trackpad located on the center console. Toyota makes it simple. Menus are clear and organized, the screen accepts swiping and pinching gestures, and the home screen can be customized with shortcuts you choose. However, the maps look dated and featureless compared to newer systems. Toyota's Entune 3.0 includes apps like NPR, but only if you plug in a smartphone with those apps and the Entune app installed. Nothing is installed on the car, and what Toyota offers isn't worth the effort. Apple CarPlay is standard, but oddly, Android Auto is not. The JBL stereo is only adequate.
Our test car's lane-keep assist reacts too late and isn't designed for semi-automated operation in traffic. On the plus side, Toyota offers standard stolen-vehicle alerts, automatic crash notifications, and SOS assistance for three years as part of Safety Connect. When specified with WiFi and Remote Connect, which allows for remote unlocking via a phone, Toyota throws in only a 6-month trial. While lacking in some areas, the best technology on the RAV4 Hybrid is what you don't notice—the hybrid system.


Does a 2019 rav 4 hybrid make a funny noise when in reverse to warn pedestrian
I was told that the noise while in reverse is to warn pedestrians you are backing out of a space. The noise is very annoying and embarrassing. If someone disconnects the sound are they taking a risk? I wonder is there more liability or will insurance company not cover you should you hit someone while leaving parking space since warning sound was disabled? Wondering should i disable sound?
My leased 2019 Rav Hybrid has had a complete system malfunction twice with only 2500 miles. At 500 miles it was hauled into the dealer as it wouldn’t start. The dealer couldn’t find anything, cleared the system and told me they didn’t think it would happen again but no guarantees. About 1 month later at 2500 miles it did the same thing. The message of each system saying system malfunction contact dealer just kept cycling. It’s now been at the dealer for over a week. The mechanic says they can’t get it to replicate the problem but they’re going to keep trying. It looks Ike another week. Any ideas on why this is happening.? Crazy as I haven’t even had the car for 60 days!
how can I change Korean language to English for RAV4 2019? there is no language appear in MENUE
My 2019 Rav4 Hybrid brakes squeal very loudly for low speed slowing and stopping. It is extremely loud, with people I'm on phone with asking what's that noise. Dealer says it's normal that brakes get rust after sitting a bit and it just needs to wear off. However the squeal doesn't follow this pattern. It does it during any conditions, may start right away or it can start after I've been driving a few miles already. It's so loud I'm ready to trade car in under 5,000 miles. Of course didn't do it at dealer and they say they can't even look at it without hearing the issue. Any ideas?
