Prices start from £ 22,595 for the 2.0-liter diesel model, which means that the new RAV4 is not only cutting its predecessor, but also a diesel version of the entry's main rivals, including the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5.

The 2.0 D-4D is a front-wheel drive and has a six-speed manual gearbox, while the other models in the range of four-wheel drive; there is a 2.2-liter diesel is available with manual and automatic transmissions, and a 1.9-liter petrol that gets auto CVT as standard.

We started on the 2.0-liter diesel, and while it's nowhere near as powerful as the entry level diesel version of the CR-V and CX-5, it took quite excited from low revs and quite flexible.

Where it falls down a bit is an improvement, because the machine transmits vibrations into the cabin and began to sound harsh if you push it beyond 3000rpm. In fact, it does not really want to rev at all; puff it out before you hit 4000rpm.

It's also a problem if you go for the 2.2-liter diesel. To make matters worse, this engine is noisier than 2.0, and force you to cut your teeth up and down more often because of the flat at the bottom of the rev range.

Whichever model you choose, you will notice wind noise from around the door mirror when you're on the highway. However, this is less of a problem because it was never loud enough to disturb the conversation in the car.
