detailsThe Toyota RAV4 is a pragmatic, family-friendly SUV that pairs impressively low running costs in hybrid form with a relaxed, motorway-friendly ride and a generous rear seat and boot that make everyday life easy. Its cabin leans toward practicality rather than polish—expect plenty of hard plastics and a tidy infotainment system that’s quick to respond but buries some climate functions in a touchscreen and can nag with drive‑recorder popups, so buyers wanting a premium feel or sporty dynamics should look elsewhere.
