2019 Toyota RAV4
Exploring the 2019 Toyota RAV4
I am a fan of Toyota. I have driven several of their cars over the years and I've always enjoyed the experience. The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is no exception. Redesigned for 2019, this new Toyota has a lot to offer, including great gas mileage, a comfortable ride, plenty of storage, and tech galore.
Comprehensive Overview 2019 Toyota RAV4
The line-up starts with the base model LE, and from there we step up to the XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, and Limited. Additionally, for those in the market for a hybrid, the RAV4 is offered in the LE, XLE, and XSE trims. Non-hybrid versions come with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the hybrid models come with electronic all-wheel drive. There are nine trims of the RAV4 (if you include hybrid as separate), which gives customers the ability to find the perfect RAV4 for their needs and budget.
Unveiling the All-New 2019 Toyota RAV4: A Closer Look
Engine and Handling
Engines come in two types: regular and hybrid. The regular option is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine with 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, hybrid models incorporate a multi-electric motor assist with the base engine. This electric motor aids hybrids in reaching a combined system net horsepower of 219. Even though the RAV4's engine isn't designed for high-performance tasks, it handles day-to-day driving with ease.
The Toyota RAV4's suspension sits firmly in the middle of sport and comfort. Body roll, bounce, and float are minimal, and the suspension does a nice job of absorbing the impacts of minor road imperfections.
Interior
Inside the Toyota RAV4, owners enjoy two comfortable rows of seating. Heated front seats are available on mid-level models and standard on higher trims. The base model features cloth seats and manually adjustable front seats, with upgrades including SofTex-trimmed seats. Premium models offer heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable front seats for personalized comfort. The second row has a 60/40 split bench for flexible cargo space. Smart Key System, power liftgate, and push-button start are available on some models. Infotainment ranges from a 7-inch touchscreen on base models to an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation on higher trims, all with intuitive controls and connectivity options.
Exterior
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 showcases sharp lines complemented by subtle curves, offering a stylish exterior. Color options like Magnetic Gray Metallic, Blueprint, Ruby Flare Pearl, and Blizzard Pearl are available. Opting for a two-tone roof adds extra flair. Certain trims feature LED projector-beam headlights, automatic high beams for enhanced visibility, and 18″ wheels, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Safety
All Toyota models feature Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, incorporating alert systems for lane departure and pedestrian detection. When necessary, the vehicle can gently correct drifts on the highway. The adaptive cruise control system helps the 2019 Toyota RAV4 maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting for traffic changes. These safety features are part of Toyota's Safety Sense, a standard package across many Toyota vehicles, ensuring active safety for all drivers.
2019 Toyota RAV4
The RAV4 also earned an overall safety rating of 5 stars from the NHTSA and is a 2019 Top Safety Pick according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The bottom line, if safety is one of your must-have priorities in a vehicle, the Toyota RAV4 has you covered.

That is one sweet ride! I love the interior and exterior styling, and I love the size. It’s big enough to fit the family and our stuff, but it’s not so big that it’s a pain to navigate.
I love the look and safety features of the Rav-4. It looks like it will fit a family of 5 comfortably, which is ideal for road trips.
This would be a great first purchase only if I had my license.
My aunt has a Rav 4. I have to say they get better looking every year.
nice, i have seen a couple of these on the road, they are a good looking car.
Whew….this is a smashing beauty! In Africa, we are so used to seeing and using the “Limited” version. This interior and wheels, will be something to die for, here.
I love it.
They have definitely upped the RAV4’s game since they first introduced them! I would have to take the family to sit in one as we as a family of tall folks. All the features sound wonderful though! Thanks for sharing!
That looks like a wonderful car with plenty of amazing features. I don’t know much about cars but I must say that is something I can imagine driving.
toyota makes a great car. i was so disappointed to say goodbye to my camry when it was crashed into. the rav4 sure looks gorgeous in those photos you shared!!

I love the design of 2019 TOYOTA RAV4! It looks so family friendly and also chic. More space indeed!
the rav 4 is awesome! i have test driven it and considered buying. i may have to consider it again as i’m looking for a new car after this.
That Toyota is amazing. Loving the tech specs and the color of this car.
I too love Toyota Cars. 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 seems like a great car. Will definitely check it out.
I love my Toyota! I have a Highlander, but I have no doubt how awesome the Rav4 is!
Those are some nice wheels! Looks like a really nice comfortable ride!
What a pretty car! And that color is SO refreshing!!! I’m so sick of all the black/grey/silver/red as pretty much the only options!
The safety rating would make this ideal for family use. I’d definitely be curious about trying one with a hybrid engine.
We have a Toyota mini van that has served its purpose. It may be time to trade up to this ca.
Beautiful car! I’d LOVE to take a spin in this!
My mom drives a new RAV4 and totally loves it. I’m always comfortable and have plenty of space when I ride with her too.
I’ve heard so many great things about the Toyota Rav-4! We are going to be looking for a new car very soon and this one is at the top of our list.
Our little family of 5 will fit comfortably in the Rav-4! As a mom, I always look at the safety features and this baby is loaded with great stuff!
That’s great to know. We are also a family of five so this is important.
It’s a beautiful, reliable car. I trust Toyota with their design. Would love to test it.
This is one nice looking vehicle. I would go for the premium model. In the winter I need heated seats. It gets quite chilly here in Canada. Love the color.
Looks like a fabulous ride! I’m a long time fan of Toyota. And I agree with Sherry that in Canada we need heated seats. (Actually I’m just in Vancouver, Canada… so I don’t get to complain about the cold. But I still want heated seats.)
We are thinking to buy a new car! Thank you for all these tips and info!
The Toyota Rav4 has always been a favorite car due to its size and look. Toyota is a brand I trust.
What a fun ride! I was so sad to miss out on this conference this year! Hopefully I can make it next year. 🙂 Looks like you all had such a fun time and got to drive some cool cars! 🙂
I love how they made the car bulkier. Looks amazing
I had no idea the Rav4 had so many options! I really love the look of this car and wish my family could fit! Maybe for my teenagers
The “boss” and I have been thinking about another vehicle once our car is paid off. We want something that is roomy for when we have the grand kids, as well as 4-wheel drive, as living here in Upstate New York requires it. I’m marking down the RAV4 as one I’d love to own.
Looks like an amazing car, and perfect for families too. Particularly because of the safety levels. It looks so sleek.
That is such a gorgeous vehicle. I love the styling, and all that room is great! It’s so perfect for everyday life.
Nice. I would love a Rav 4. It looks amazing, it has a ton of room, and it looks amazing. I know, I already said that. LOL
I’m loving the interior of the 2019 Toyota RAV4. It’s very high tech and comfortable for families.
my dad needs a new car and has been looking at the rav 4. thanks for the thorough descriptions and photos!

This is such a nice car!! I seriously love the interior!
I’m really liking to the look of this Rav4 and all its’ features and benefits. A friend of mine swears by hers. She’s had it for 10 years, and it’s survived 3 cross country trips and multiple west coast (over numerous states) drives.
2019 TOYOTA RAV4 looks like the perfect family car. I hope to get one next year for my family. It’s a great deal!
I like this Toyota Rav4 better than the previous models. The style or it, and all the room is amazing.
