Toyota RAV4 as a suitable alternative to Mazda CX-60

The Mazda CX-60 feels like the small SUV that went to design school — rear-driven poise, a near-luxury cabin and punchy petrol or PHEV options that reward drivers who crave refinement and involvement. The Toyota RAV4, by contrast, is the stubbornly sensible choice: roomier, more practical, famously reliable and often cheaper to run in hybrid form, perfect if you want value and low fuss rather than flirting with feel-good handling.

The 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.
