Sharp bumps could be better absorbed but this rav4 is rarely uncomfortable.
Toyota rav4 hybrid 2016 review uk.
Overall auto express rating.
The rav4 is decent to drive.
But it s not particularly sporty since the additional weight of the hybrid parts is noticeable when you.
Toyota is hopeful that private buyers will be tempted by the hybrid s low running costs.
2 0 out of 5.
Through this car the brand offered buyers in this segment the most affordable route into frugal petrol electric power with its greater refinement and clean emission tax benefits.
As ever with a hybrid there s extra entertainment to be had from conserving fuel building up your battery reserves.
Although the ride is firm in town there s plenty of grip and body roll is kept in check.
And compared with some diesel 4x4s the rav4 does stack up well.
The front wheel drive model emits just 115g km while this awd version is not far behind with a co2 output of 118g km and a claimed average economy of 55 4mpg.
Plus this improved fourth generation design delivers smart styling decent safety provision and plenty of media connectivity.
It s capable enough but a cx 5 is more involving and a renault kadjar.
The 2016 toyota rav4 hybrid isn t much fun to drive but its fuel economy is excellent.
The rav4 hybrid lacks the show stealing economy emissions and dynamic refinement required to more effectively leverage its technology and is too compromised when it comes to daily driving.
