Who is your winner between RAV4 Hybrid Limited vs XSE....and why? Please subscribe to my channel and also Fred Anderson Toyota RUclips channel. Please watch an AD or 2 on my channel if you like my content...it helps :) You all are so awesome! Jeff
Love the XSE and love your videos! If you were in my area I would definitely order from you! Just ordered 2020 RAV4 XSE in metallic grey with ATP. Can't wait! Thanks for all of your informative videos. You are awesome!
@@fhamre I just ordered the 2020 from dealer. So yes it's available to order with production slated to begin in October and release in December. I probably wont see mine until Jan or Feb as I'm in Hawaii.
I prefer the more mature looking XSE. When I sold Toyota's in 1988 the 8197A package was my favorite. It came with a radio and V6. $12,999. Thanks for the videos Jeff. I revisit my teenage years selling cars when I watch you videos.
Just bought/ordered a Limited with the weather/entune/technology/adaptive headlight packages. Blizzard Pearl/Black. Twiddling my thumbs for this beauty
Bought the 2020 XSE with the JBL sound system and all sensors. Only thing I miss was the ventilated seats. Not worth the extra for the limited. Love the look of the Blizzard White and Gloss black.
I went for the Limited but asking myself if I got it covered.Blue print 2 tones with black glossy for the top.Belgian order,it is now confirmed early October for delivery.Can’t wait!
How's the handling such as steering and cornering compared between XSE vs. Limited? Are they noticeably different? Do they both porpoise on the freeway? I want the sport XSE but also want the 360 cam and ventilated seat in the Limited. So difficult to choose.
Nice videos, Like your energy and off the cuff humor. Keeps me watching. One small correction. The buttons to the left of the steering wheel. You were referring to the "windshield deicer" button as auto sensing wipers . WRONG 😝 woooooooooo
My magnetic gray XSE has the moonroof,GPS,all the sensors,heated seats/no vents no weather package but looks much better than the limited which is actually more $$$. People stop and ask about my car just cause it is XSE!
argearer Depends what you’re driving now. My previous car had BOSE 11 speaker system with factory sub under front windshield. JBL in limited doesn’t even come close to BOSE
@@jackp2563 i'm driving a Toyota Camry 98.) Speakers sound pretty impressive but most of them don't even work.) The car is too old. I was suggested to get Hyundai Tucson but i realized that i want only Toyota and RAV4 Hybrid is just perfect to me. Just a little confused which one I should choose.
argearer If money is no object get limited hv. I wouldn’t recommend LE it’s lacking basic stuff : push button start , power seat XSE it’s just too radical for my taste. Black wheels and high gloss bumpers not my thing. For me it was choice btw xle and limited.
Thanks for these videos, they're really helpful. I just ordered the 2020 limited hybrid with ANDROID AUTO. Waiting for the build October 31. I chose the panoramic sunroof Japan build over the leveling headlights from Canada. I was told you can't have both.
Hey Jeff! Thanks for the entertaining info. I'm a 4 time 4Runner 4WD gal but might be priced out this year. The new Limited and XSE Rav4's look really cool and being Hybrid is a huge plus. My only concern is how much of my stuff I can put in it. I never put the rear seats up in my 4Runners because I'm usually carrying bikes or camping gear or I'm moving! I can fit a bike without taking the wheel off. I've been looking at specs and really can't tell. I guess i have to ride my bike to the dealer, right? My other thought is to lease one. What do you think?
Hello Jeff please help I have a 2019 LE AWD with steel wheels I want to upgrade to a more capable off/on road set up. I am thinking about 17X8.0 Black Rhino York wheels with Toyo OPEN COUNTRY ATII All- Terrain Radial Tire-225/65R17 102H or wider ? Why is the Adventure and TRD 19 inch ? I am confused What would you recommend ? Thank you in advance ! Todd G.
xse is a better look, I'd add red trd center wheel caps and a front end 2 inch level lift with a larger tire. Then change the fog lamp bulbs to 6000k led.
Easy. Limited wins. The XSE is sporty but it doesn’t support that with a bland interior color and it’s missing the features on the limited trim. Vented memory seats 360 cam etc.
Christina Witt you went with the XSE with the Technology Package I think? I remember seeing that adding the sensors to XSE along with some wireless charging mat and 2 more speakers to the car
The thing is when we bought our XSE. There are so many versions of the XSE you can pretty much get all the tech options on the XSE as the limited if you look for the right version of the XSE. Not sure about the cooled seats though
anyone who is thinking of buying one of these, do yourself the favor of getting the led fog lights. its an option, and so worth it. thats what i did on my limited hybrid.
I bought the Limited for the birds eye view and was hoping for the weather package with heated steering wheel and ventilated seats. Could not locate one so went with limited and tech package. Not a fan of black wheels. Jeff, the JBL in my opinion is mediocre. To be honest sounds like a stock radio.
Brent R. Becker I agree that the JBL isn’t the best, especially coming from a bang and Olaf that I traded for it. But the regular sound system in the ravs are AWFUL. So if you don’t want to worry about after market stuff, the JBL makes it at least decent enough as opposed to shit.
decisionYou guys are probably way better off and putting in new speakers from like Best Buy a great name brand speakers. They well make a big difference bro
Thank you for your informative videos they're awesome! I just just subscribed and gave you a thumbs up. I have a question...just curious if the 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid in XSE trim can upgrade to the TRD Offroad suspension normally offered on the 2020 Rav4 TRD Offroad model? Is the suspension interchangable or custom modification would be required?
Ryan yes. and most all of those that had issues were sold already. the few that haven’t will be looked up by serial number by dealer and fixed before selling for free.
Cam Q are you talking about the engine issue or the gas tank issue? The recall of 22,000 vehicles was for the engine issue. Gas tank not filling up I haven’t heard anything about yet. Thanks for tour reply
We get full leather in the UK on the ltd(excel) model choice of three colours, softtext xse only in the xse(dynamic) Ltd come standard heated steering wheel, heated F/R seats electric seat with 3 memory settings. all standard with the leather in the UK. As is auto wiper defrost screen front these are all standard in uk Leather steering wheel in UK Only additional cost are JBL and sun roof All those things you pay extra for arecsrsbsard factory fit for the trim your being ripped off weather package bs.
In Canada the Limited trim has ALL the bells & whistles included in the base price including the JBL and sun roof. As for the XSE we get most of the bells & whistles for an extra $2800 Can. Weather package is included in the base price of all hybrid Rav4's. In the USA the weather package is only an extra $375 US which isn't too bad. Also in the USA their base prices on all trims are really low compared to Canada BUT they have a lot of different packages so in the end it all comes out the same money wise..... that way the USA customers aren't getting nailed with a high base price which may include a lot of things a particular customer may not need, want or desire.
Russell Condie I agree..... I bought the Limited for birds eye view since wife parks in tight spots but not worth it for cost. XLE with convenience package!
XLE for looks only is by far the best trim (no silver crap on the exterior). But unfortunately they leave out so many things plus a crappy infotainment & cloth seats that you're almost forced to get the more expensive trims. In Canada the XLE hybrid doesn't have any extra packages like the Convenience Package. On the XLE gas trim we can order the XLE Premium AWD package for an extra $2800 which included SofTex seats & the better Infotainment plus a few extras like wireless charging, parking sonars, digital rear view mirror LED fog lamps, the 11 speaker JBL Audio system and embedded navigation.
Avoid the hybrid... way too many problems with it... I can't even fill the gas tank completely due to a major problem with evap system. My car is a 2019 XSE trim, same issue with the 2020, and toyota is just giving lip service. Google Rav4 fuel tank issue for more info

Do you think you might do a similar video with the 2020 XSE vs Limited Hybrids?
My long requested video, finally you did it after a very long wait. Thanks @Toyotajeff in Raleigh

I like the look of the blacked out XSE wheels.

Sorry, which Toyota model had a V6 back in '88? Camry maybe?
The trucks had a V6 option.
@@LimelyT That must have been one of the first years for a V6 in the pickup.
Just bought/ordered a Limited with the weather/entune/technology/adaptive headlight packages. Blizzard Pearl/Black. Twiddling my thumbs for this beauty
We are considering the XSE, and same color as yours.. How do you like it?
Idk how you got a limited in a two tone color when that option is only available for XSE
@@evergurl210 He meant black seats...
Definitely the XSE in Blue or Gray.
Bought the 2020 XSE with the JBL sound system and all sensors. Only thing I miss was the ventilated seats. Not worth the extra for the limited. Love the look of the Blizzard White and Gloss black.
Mark Thompson bought the same car it’s awesome
@@pepetwelvetwelve How much did you pay?
You can get parking sensors on 2020 xse. I just bought one it has every option limited does except cooled seats and birds eye
I like the XSE cause of the sportyness but i like the seats and sensors on the limited.
I went for the Limited but asking myself if I got it covered.Blue print 2 tones with black glossy for the top.Belgian order,it is now confirmed early October for delivery.Can’t wait!
the XSE looks way better, but I would go with the ventilated seats.

With those high gloss black bumpers and wheel arches xse looks like a piano on wheels.
It will age much faster than conventional limited.
What about sound system? Is it worth buying limited because of the upgraded system? Or is it good enough.

Right Lane Hog I saw a few people bought the LE and had their hubcaps plasti-dipped in black. Looks soooo good.
@@dananezat All things shall pass including the fashion of black wheels.
@@rightlanehog3151 Black rims have always looked good.
@toyotajeff, you're a dork in the best way. Thanks for this comparison.
You can get LED foglights on both models as a $299 option.
The XSE needs memory seating...........
This is me right now, ughhh. So irked that XSE doesn't come with memory seating. 😠
@@asiangrl88 Me too that's a bummer
My aunt just told me about the bird’s eye view today, so I would have to go with the Limited.
Limited. XSE does not have bird eye view.
Bird eye can be added to XSE.
@@chrgav1286 Here in Canada you can add a lot of things with the Tech Package but not the Bird's Eye View.
Buy the one made in Canada or we'll send an extra cold front this winter. You've been warned!
Canadian boy hear

Hello Jeff, do you think your video is still up to date for 2021, because i'm undecided between the two models at the moment
Hi Jeff! Do you have one just like this for the 2022
Does it have a panoramic roof? I love the RAV4 I’m debating the 2020 vs the 2019 and I wanna make sure the 2019 has the panoramic moonroof?
I know in Canada you still can't get the panoramic moonroof in 2020...... maybe in 2021??? we'll know in a couple months
Both nice.
Whats the silver color right above the back toyota emblem? I chipped mine in my parking garage and i need to retouch it :(
Hello Jeff please help I have a 2019 LE AWD with steel wheels I want to upgrade to a more capable off/on road set up. I am thinking about 17X8.0 Black Rhino York wheels with Toyo OPEN COUNTRY ATII All- Terrain Radial Tire-225/65R17 102H or wider ? Why is the Adventure and TRD 19 inch ? I am confused What would you recommend ? Thank you in advance ! Todd G.
Matte black theme all the way.
No Cooling Seat on the Back Seats of the Limited, only the Front Seats?
How about any Cooling Seats on the XSE?
Just front and Nope - just the limited :\
Nice vehicles... they all look the same with one having limited badging on it... great video
xse is a better look, I'd add red trd center wheel caps and a front end 2 inch level lift with a larger tire. Then change the fog lamp bulbs to 6000k led.
Don Thecheech but then that completely changes the MPG ability and suspension settings unfortunately
if you were in Toronto I'd buy from you.
Easy. Limited wins. The XSE is sporty but it doesn’t support that with a bland interior color and it’s missing the features on the limited trim. Vented memory seats 360 cam etc.
Jeff, my XSE does have the parking sensors
Christina Witt you went with the XSE with the Technology Package I think? I remember seeing that adding the sensors to XSE along with some wireless charging mat and 2 more speakers to the car
Will it have it at the front too or just the back?
BOTH CAN NOT CHOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The thing is when we bought our XSE. There are so many versions of the XSE you can pretty much get all the tech options on the XSE as the limited if you look for the right version of the XSE. Not sure about the cooled seats though
Hey Jeff, I have a question, do any of the rav4 have ambient lighting?
Joe Blue yes
On the Limited I believe
Limited for the features
XSE
anyone who is thinking of buying one of these, do yourself the favor of getting the led fog lights. its an option, and so worth it. thats what i did on my limited hybrid.
Led fog lights look nice but aren’t good as the halogen yellow light that cuts through fog
Hey Jeff.. does xse have sensors in the front if I get technology package ?
Yes in the USA and Canada the XSE has the parking sensors (front & rear) with the technology package.
The limited hydrid should have all its lighting be LED
When is Yota going to stop sucking up to crApple and add Android Carplay?
I bought the Limited for the birds eye view and was hoping for the weather package with heated steering wheel and ventilated seats. Could not locate one so went with limited and tech package. Not a fan of black wheels.

Is the xse silver or gray?
Qirui Huang that’s the silver. The gray is much darker. The two toned isn’t as prevalent looking.

I would take the one made in Japan
The XSE i just bought is made in Japan, I made sure of it before buying it. The Kaizen way is no joke!!!
Neither. Best bang for the buck is the XLE hybrid.
Russell Condie I agree..... I bought the Limited for birds eye view since wife parks in tight spots but not worth it for cost. XLE with convenience package!
Brent R. Becker it’s ridiculous that the XLE isn’t offered with soft Tex option and you have to do the after switch.

Красивые РАВ 4
Don’t like the gloss black or the black wheels. The black wheels are trendy that will eventually go out of style, in my opinion.
.....and I love the two tone grey interior !
Prop rod? Jesus how cheap are they not to have a strut at this price. My wife's Tiguan was cheaper and has a strut. Ridiculous even at maxed out trim.
