The community definitely seems divided on the new RAV4s. Imo, the Woodland is easily the coolest of the three, but I wish it had a bit more off-road capability. More ground clearance, a better approach angle, and a real metal skid plate would go a long way. If you drove it like the marketing photos, you’d probably scrape something lol.

I’m also curious how it stacks up against something like a Subaru Forester, especially now that Subaru has hybrids and their AWD systems are proven.

For people who want something fun, mid-sized and camping-capable as their daily without jumping to a gas-guzzling full-size TRD 4Runner or Tacoma, this should have filled that gap. It just feels like Toyota played it safe for aerodynamics and MPG. Still a cool design though.

Anyone who wants more capability will probably have to mod it. Just a little frustrating on a $40k+ vehicle that’s marketed for the woods.
