This is my second Rav 4 the first one being a diesel. This version is a hybrid petrol. The design of the new Rav 4 is very similar to my previous rav4 with a few cosmetic changes to the exterior, the interior is again slightly different to the previous version but soon becomes natural to control the various functions. The vehicle handles well, very stable and pulls well. Although a hybrid, from cold the car runs on the petrol engine until it warms up. You can drive at nearly 40mph on the battery, but gentle control of the throttle is needed to keep this going, put your foot down a bit and the petrol engine kicks in, but this is a seamless transition, you can hardly tell the engine has taken over.
