As to Rav4, this will also be a facelift model. IMHO, Rav4 as it should always have been - more premium.

Good to hear. The hybrid will surely be popular for this market: urban city dwellers/commuters and family haulers for stop-and-go errands. Makes me wonder why the CRV hasn't touched that potential powertrain.
If it is a facelift (midcycle redesign), I would love to see better materials inside. Some of the plastic surfaces scratched easily and it looked bad in loaner and used cars.

The model I was waiting for -- too late, unless I can talk my wife into it (she likes the efficiency of my ES Hybrid).
Wonder if they can make the rear doors open a bit wider. Current RAV4's rear door opening is a bit too narrow, hampering entry/exit.
Yes, I wonder why Honda has not put a hybrid drivetrain in the CR-V and RDX.

As to the Honda, they produce 6x less hybrids than Toyota, despite huge growth in Japan with new introduction... it is not surprising that they dont have CRV Hybrid, only surprising thing is that Toyota didnt hybridize Rav4 sooner as last year they produced 1.3m hybrids.

This seems like a long overdue addition to the RAV4 line. I suspect Toyota will do very well with this model.

It doesn't need to beat the NX, that's inherent, we were talking about the CR-V

The biggest headline here should be the facelift, not the hybrid. The RAV4 desperately needs improvements and never reached for the stars when it debuted a few years ago. Finishes inside and out have always lacked, and still do. Ditching the ridiculously cheap all-black bumpers on all models needs to be #1 on the list.
