Just ordered the Highlander Diesel which is the pic of them all, pick it up Friday this week. Never liked the RAV and the CVT is just appalling and makes the car gutless. Toyotas look a decade old in comparison. Had the previous model Tuscon, one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven (also owned RR Sport and ML500) But the 2.0 Petrol is just woeful and worst in class. looking forward to the new Tucson. looks fantastic although I prefer the outside of the new Sportage over the Tucson

I bought Rav4 hybrid - it was a decision based on the fact that Toyota started making hybrids in 1997, exactly 20 years before Hyundai released their firts hybrid. Also, Rav4 was the second best selling car in the world last year, which tells a great deal about the quality. That said, if I were to get a petrol, I would consider Hyundai because of the bold design and more elegant interior.

I trust it is the 2022 model which has the electric passenger seat as well as other upgrades.

@@briantye110 Nope it really isn't. The hybrid system in the RAV4 is extremely clever with no wearing/friction parts at all. All clutch/gear ratio tasks are cleverly taken care of by the use of the first of the two (and 3 in the AWD models) electric motors. With no "rubber band", not dual clutch plates, no mechatronics unit to fail, not even a slipping torque converter to burn up transmission fluid. It's all explained here in quite a long and technical, but fascinating video. kzitem.info/news/bejne/sGxnvZ2ehoSVnYI After watching this and understanding it, you won't look at anything with conventional transmission (and certainly not a dry clutch dual clutch transmission) ever again. Bigger electric motors and a PHEV system would make this nearly perfect. A better interior would be icing on the cake. Bring on the next gen, as it should (hopefully) have all of the above. The engineer in me loves the hybrid tech, and with 20 years of fettling with it, it's hard to go past once you appreciate just how good (and elegant in its simplicity) it really is.

I've had the Rav4 cruiser hybrid AWD since January and it's exceeded all expectations. yes the Hyundai looks nice but I just think the RAV is an all round better car. $215 fixed price servicing for 5 years is brilliant as well. it's horses for courses and there's a bum for every seat as they say. both good cars.

I ordered a rav4 gxl hybrid a month ago (I'm in NZ), so good to hear your experience (which is also pretty much what almost all the comments from owners are saying). But have to disagree with you about the hyundai - personally, I think it looks ugly and is trying too hard to be "modern". But aside from the looks, the rav4 is clearly the better vehicle, and hybrid is clearly the way to go. This will be my first hybrid, but it seems obvious to me that I'll never be buying another purely combustion powered vehicle. I figure by the time I'm ready for my next vehicle straight combustion vehicles will be close to being obsolete. The way I see it, if you're going to invest that much money, why would you invest in old technology that's already on the way to extinction.

Brought me back to 2010 with that music choice in the Rav4 😏 did you pause on that song just for the video? It fits in nicely, as I doubt Hyundai and Toyota are "friends" 😂

The Tucson looks ridiculous - those weird grille lights sink it for me and the fuel economy is poor Despite the noisier interior and stiffer ride - the RAV4 is the better car all round for me

Here in Australia, Tucson costs about 40% more than in S.Korea and the US. It is a budget car there. Here? And the most reason why we have less models, like why no hybrid? Right Hand Drive! Can't we just change to Left like all the other countries in the world?

I think Toyota should bring either the PHEV Rav4 or the venza from the US to fulfill the gap around 60K price.

I agree, Toyota customers might be ready for a PHEV / Prime version of RAV4. Cheers Matt

@@carsguide We SOOOO are! I would gladly have bought the PHEV/Prime if it had been available when I bought my AWD Cruiser Hybrid. The extra performance and fuel economy benefits would make it a very compelling proposition, despite the interior design now languishing behind the smarter looking options from Korea and even China. But - and it's a big one - the others still can't match the sophistication and reliability/effectiveness of the hybrid drivetrain. Toyota's hybrid drivetrain still hard to beat after all the years of being tested and perfected in cabs!

I'd say that's subjective. Personally, I think the rav looks fantastic, with classic styling that will always look good. Whereas to me, the tucson looks hideous, is trying too hard to look "modern", and therefore destined to soon look dated.

I'm in the market for a PHEV looking at both the Rav4 PHEV or the new Tucson PHEV. Have test driven both vehicles in regular verions. (at the PHEVs are on order in Belgium, not yet in the showrooms). The Rav4 infotainment could be a deal-breaker and looks soo outdated for a (very) expensive car. (€60K in BE), but on the other hand it now comes with a 9" screen with Android-auto/Apple carplay. Will you ever need it's base infotainment system? The Tucson looks more luxurious at first or at least more modern. But the more I think about it, the more I like the Rav4. What makes the Tucson more modern actually also makes it cheaper to build. Almost no buttons, not even for the heater,.. don't really like that. All black shiny plastic.. don't like that too much either. Just a plain tablet infront of the screen, not really embedded or cased into the dashboard. The tech in the Tucson is cool though. Use the turning signal and you see a camera image on the dashboard, that's cool... but is it enough. Not sure yet. Rav4 PHEV is also seriously quick, will even outrun a BMW X3 phev or an audi Q5 phev.

I was really interested in the Hyundai before this comparison, however, Hyundai has shot themselves in the foot by the premium price of their turbo engines, which would have been my choice, particularly the diesel version. However, $6,000.00 on top of the Rav 4 pricing can buy a lot of fuel and the hybrid will give similar economy to the diesel, so it's the Rav 4 for me this time. Very disappointing Hyundai.

knock yourself out Phil, I would take that turbo diesel any day, and the fuel cost, who gives a toss when spending that sort of money. Penny pincher's when spending $50+ on a car.

There is nothing wrong with just saying everything is better inside and out on the Tucson. Toyota needs to roll out a new generation soon, and probably hire different designers.
