I've got a 2024 Toyota RAV4 Cruiser hybrid AWD and it's the best car I've owned in 45 years. Toyota has proven reliability in the long term.
-
I prefer the Toyota Rav4. I have the 2024 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid and i love it.
-
As an owner of a 2022 Rav4 Hybrid, it is definitely a bit boring and the Kia interior definitely looks way nicer (even with the 2023 tech update with the Rav). Exterior, for me I prefer the Rav4 look but that’s just me. I’d still buy the Rav4 myself but I can understand why people would pick the Sportage too. Kia just isn’t my brand, nothing against them though. Personally I don’t think you can go wrong with either the Rav or Sportage, both nice cars.

Just bought a sportage prestige Friday. Its amazing and you get so much for your money.
-
Kia looking cool and all but I would still pick the RAV4.
-
Great review. How does the xtrail and Honda hybrid compare?
-
Definitely RAV4 Hybrid much better than Kia. The front of the Kia looks absolutely terrible, I will not waste my money on it. RAV4 is the clear winner in every aspect, Kia is for the pretty girls. As a man, I will go for RAV4 100%.

Are you going to do a vlog for your zeeker trip ?

I think the RAV4 looks better than the Kia. I think Kia are amazing these days, especially warranty, but being priced almost comparably… I would go the RAV4 for reliability, longevity, ease of parts and depreciation! A small thing, but a good example of longevity shown in the video is the tailgate speed. Slower tailgate actuators (like the RAV4) last longer due to the gearing ratio used within, creating less stress wear.

More direct car comparisons please! P.S Now I can watch the video :D

Stay away from the dark side… dum dum dum dum da dum…. 😂 Love the nerd out reference, makes you extra fun to watch!
-
If you understand how the eCVT in RAV4 works, its a masterpiece of engineering, and i would buy it just for that. No other manufacturer comes close.
-
I have the Kia and I love it. It’s sleek, elegant and handled beautifully.
-
So wish NZ had the Kia Sportage GT line hybrid, sadly our top spec is the Earth, which of course misses out on that wonderful 360 degree camera, the cooled seats would be nice as well.
-
If you go for the Cruiser Hybrid FWD then it undercuts the Sportage by $3000.
-
The interior on the Kia looks leagues ahead of the Toyota
-
you doing a review of he faclifted dmax ?
-
RAV4 has timeless design but Kia not and they keep changing their design philosophy that makes used cars dated
-
Please do enough research on the battery tech. Depending on availability you can get a Li ion battery. My 2023 Rav4 cruisers hybrid here in perth has a Li-ion battery
-
The Kia looks and drives like a new modern fresh car. The Toyota feels like it’s already quite dated.
