Disappointed at this. The Rav was priced well, would definitely have been in contention at Q3 pricing and would definitely have maintained my interest in a self charging hybrid, but not now.
This may be driven by Toyota, i.e. sufficient interest and orders have now built so they can take their foot off the gas to synch with production targets, and inflating the motability AP’s stems the flow somewhat.
We’re personally not in the market just yet, having extended the current lease, although that is flexible so we can change early if we wanted to.
At the minute we’re happy to sit tight, however, if we wanted to change now I would be having a close look at the Tig R Line DSG 2.0TDi over other options, because with an AP of £2199 which still looks like JCT600 can reduce to £1699, that’s an amazing deal.
Don’t get me wrong if we look at a Rav4 Excel spec. Then yes it has leather trim, a 2.5 petrol hybrid engine and can be AWD so a different beast to the Tig altogher, but at those Q4 AP’s i’m dialled out …….. for now.
All of that said, i’m wanting to see what Hyundai do with the next gen Tucson, and want to see what Nissan do with the next gen Xtrail.
