Toyota RAV4 GR Sport Fully Tested: 0-60, Braking, Range, and Performance

It's almost 3 seconds faster than the Honda Prelude...lol

Good lord, the constant short commercial interuptions for your web site are so annoying. I'm already a subscriber to your channel, I'm watching your video, you don't need to advertise your own videos, in your video.

It is a smart move to leverage the GR name, for the RAV4 Prime refresh. The capabilities are solid for this market segment, but I can't help but compare it to the Tesla Model Y AWD Premium, which costs the same. Still, for people who like Toyotas (for all of the reasons why Toyotas are top sellers), and want the security of a gas backup (with EV benefits as well) it is a solid choice.

The addition of the GR initials to the RAV4 gave us hopes that the SUV would have more performance chops, but it's still more RAV4 than GR. What do you think Toyota needed to do to make this a viable, more family-friendly alternative to a hot hatch? Let us know in the comments below!

Subscribed for your honesty and actually testing it in high speed curves. The only honest review, every other reviewer was paid to lie, saying there’s almost no body roll. Same like last year’s model just different design.

Really hope they do a Sienna GR!

Toyota did quite nice updates to the new RAV4, especially the design outside and inside is a big upgrade, and this new infotainment system got well needed an upgrade. For me personally, the Woodland trim is the one to get in the RAV4 lineup, GR should be reserved for sports cars ;) And would love to see Toyota bringing this PHEV powertrain to the European Hilux pickup! Great video, keep it up!

Great test. The GR will look great for those occasional Costco runs and car camping. Toyotas /Lexus generally are known for road feel opting for loosey goosey isolated steering. It’s the rock solid reputation that sells well. Still.

Possibly the most honest and authentic car review I’ve ever seen. Love this guy! And if Toyota is going to call it a GR Sport, it should be evaluated as such. In a sense, this car devalues the GR brand. But that’s not why I ordered one. I drive 30 miles each way to work plus a ton of related miles. Gas is running me $1200 -$1500 a month. My lead guy does the same, also on my nickel. The Atkinson cycle of the RAV4 is just the ticket to help out. I ordered an XLE for him and a GR for me. For the extra $11k I liked the looks, options and a bit more power and maneuverability given the blah of the others.

I think would be cool if you guys included Db readings as part of your testing regime.
