The Toyota RAV4 was redesigned for 2019, and it’s better in many ways. It’s also not improved in others and suffers in terms of road manners.

The RAV4 is one of the best small SUVs on sale today. According to GoodCarBadCar, it sits atop the segment in terms of sales. The model sells so well because it’s so well-rounded.

The vehicle offers a good blend of practicality and performance. To keep the model fresh, Toyota updated it for the 2019 model year, and I had a chance to spend a week with the Limited trim level of the car.

Toyota dropped the model off at my house and I put the crossover SUV to the test over the next seven days.
