Hello Everyone,

I'm curious what y'all predict will be the real world #s for a 2019 RAV4 Hybrid once it gets in the hands of someone on this forum? Fueleconomy.gov lists it as 41 HWY, 38 City, 39 Combined.

I'm curious because when comparing it to the 2016-18 RAV4 Hybrid, and factoring in total cost to own with MPG/Gas and purchase price, they seem to be neck and neck and I want to make sure my predictions for the 2019 model are in line with the masses. I predict I'd get about 37 MPG combined (rated 34 city, 30 highway, 32 combined) from the 2016-18 RAV4 Hybrid and I am guessing 45 MPG (rated 41 city, 38 highway, 39 combined) from the 2019 RAV4 Hybrid. That new 40% efficient gasoline engine in there sure helps the highway numbers! Thanks.
