Getting my Rav 4 XSE hybrid from Crestmont Toyota NJ at MSRP, Picking it up tomorrow. Salesman Brandon D has been great! Hope you don't mind we are far enough away to not affect you...Learn a lot from your vids!
I wish it came with fog lights! Same with the LE trim! 1 thing I’d love to see on this SE is the chrome piece above the windows are piano black in color!
good to know but there are none available to purchase. still waiting on my prime (ETA 2023 march 7month if i wanted the basic hybrid). just hope to have cancelation due to the fact that quebec lowered their incentive by 3000$ for all phev vehicule
you are right about the Silver color is popping with the piano black trim and nice wheels/tires... i was thinking if it had a full moon roof or roof black wrapped and maybe a hint of a rear window spoiler... all in all i liked your review and thanks always for your Toyota vids... sub#513 checking out!... :)
I'm about to pull the trigger on this particular model. Only problem is, it will be a 2023 because the 9 month wait time exceeds the production time period we have left in this year. So maybe it's a good thing, because I'll be getting the 2023 model when the demand will probably be even higher? But I still have to wait 9 months!!!
Thanks for the review! What’s Toyota doing about the ongoing supply chain issue? In Canada, you order a hybrid model now, you get it in 8-12 months, according to the salesman. Ridiculous provided that the the car is made in Canada/North America.
Unfortunately there isn’t much that Toyota can do to control the severity of this issue. It is not a Toyota problem but it is a global issue which is economically affecting everyone
Great Video. Question about the 2022 XSE Blue- I see a camera in front . Is that a 360 camera ? Is that a part of the TECH package ?? Also is there any Panoroof on this model or just a moon/sun roof?
I am supposed to see a cavalry blue SE on Friday. I am not going to buy it because it is a knockoff built in Kentucky but I want to see if the color is as nasty in person as it is in photos and video.
The US models are listed as having interior ambient lighting, however tons of people on the forums are reporting that it is missing from their 2022 Hybrid SE's. Do you have any information regarding the issue? It seems like some are coming with the promised ambient lighting, however the majority of people receiving new Hybrid SE's are missing theirs.
That’s just a hood protector wrap. Protects against scratches during transport on a truck etc. It peeled off when the car is delivered to the customer or placed in the showroom.
I still have to zonk the door handle of this car. The inside driver side handle sucks. The screen sucks and the inside light sucks too. It is very dark. No sunglasses holder on top. I had a 2021 XLE hybrid rav 4 and traded it in for a venza. Love the venza.
The lack of foglights is an appalling mistake. The "audio plus" that is an option - sort of, every SE I have turned down in the past 4 months has it - is a total scam. Nearly $1100 for a 2" larger touchscreen. The other things it lists come standard and it is Toyota fluffing it up. Speaking of, that screen looks like it was designed in 2010. I am going in to look at an SE in that blue on Friday. I am not going to buy it, see the next paragraph why, but I want to see if it is as nasty looking in person as it is here. I put an order in for the black, which is the only color that doesn't look ridiculous with the wheels and grill on the SE. Let's be honest, no one buys Toyota or Lexus for its looks because they are all ugly, people buy them for reliability which brings me to the next problem. The near impossibility of getting a real RAV4 built in Japan makes it a lesser car. Every Kentucky-built RAV4 that I have seen are abysmal. They rattle, even with 20 miles on the odometer, the paint is thin and poorly applied, and most of the parts are not interchangeable with real RAV4s so they are not the same car. Why pay sticker on a knockoff built by third-grade dropout Cletus? These are massively overpriced in Canada. Yikes!
I looked at the cavalry blue SE last month and it sucked hard. The blue is uglier in person if you can believe that. It completely clashes with the rest of the car. It was built in Kentucky and it showed. The paint was thin and poorly applied. The panels were noticeably off. All of them. The hood was extremely flimsy. The mirror doesn't even have automatic dimming or a built-in garage door opener. It is the same mirror found in 1985 Toyotas. The entire car shook when the engine came on and that is not the case with Japanese build RAV4s. Averaging about 35 mph on the test drive it got around 30 MPG. There is no difference between eco, normal and sport mode. Not in performance and not in gas mileage. When the engine and battery are powering the car together the MPG drops to 10 MPG! The only positive is that it had Michelin Primacy tires. That is the best part, by far. I guess the 23s are out now, good. The 22s are just overpriced trash. The 23s are actually cheaper when you factor in the forced scam known as "audio plus" is no longer an option. Save yourself the headache and say no to fake Toyotas. If it is not a JVIN it is not a Toyota. I told the salesman to stop wasting my time on knockoffs. These fake RAV4s should be sold at a 50% discount. That is how awful they are.
I prefer automotive reviews with bit more objectivity and that's something you won't get from a "review" shot by a dealer who are the last people you'd expect any honesty. Very little meaningful detail presented other than the paint schemes.
@@ToyotaWorld What's your point? Anybody with a brain knows a car dealer is the last one to trust about anything. On the list of people to be wary about, car dealers are just after ambulance chasing lawyers.
@@ChuranuQC Yes, I know that. I'm speaking in generalities about the integrity of dealers and used car salesmen and lawyers who'll lie through their teeth for a law breaker.
Lol what is not going on? Anyway, what is going on is not what you think it is going on, but only what it is going in in each person's life, apart from what is going on according to others who do not really know what is going on, but only feel the need to ask what is going on cause if anything is going on they need to know what to answer when smb asks them what is going on.
Just bought an SE. First ever brand new car I’ve bought. Love it. The MPG is a damn lifesaver in todays economy!
Nice! I'm still waiting for mine to arrive unfortunately
@@zaidmohammed8531 I got lucky, was the last on the lot!
@@check-static-lines That's amazing! What color did you get the rav4 in? I ordered mine in midnight black metallic
@@zaidmohammed8531 I got the midnight metallic as well. Wanted blue, but I’m glad I have this color! It looks slick
I just ordered 2022 Rav 4 hybrid SE today all blacked out and got all package upgrades. It may be 4 to 9 months before it comes in.

I can feel XSE will be the best Model in RAV4 in Toyota’s plan in future. They gave XSE the unique fog light style even Limited doesn’t have it
I wish the highlander hybrid had a sport package, love the black rims

The blue colour is definitely fitting for the SE model.
I love the piano black. I prefer the entire color piano black
thanks for the video, I very much enjoyed it. My SE (same color and everything) should be here in 4-6 weeks (it’s been 1 week so far) IM VERY EXCITED!
I booked mine silver SE this weekend. Lets see when i would get it
@@harrie1081 my date changed to may 2nd 😔
@@beastunited It’ll change further. If you’re in regular queue, chances are rare that it will be here next month
@@harrie1081 how’s it going? Mine was built last week. Delivery should be in 1-2 weeks

Wait a second …. I think you were sub# 512 or 511 lol! Thx
@@ToyotaWorld yes... i just realized i am number #511 ... sorry for my bad typo... lol
The XSE has the black roofline. I’m supposed to get mine in two weeks in blizzard pearl. Built in Canada in 3/6/2022.
I got the XSE in silver. The contrast REALLY pops, my fav XSE color.
🤮

No pano roof on the xse but yes. The tech package will give you sensors all around. “Clearance sonar system “
@@ToyotaWorld will you be doing a review on the 2022 xse ??
@@ryansamlal2845 yes. It’s currently in editing
Love that blue!
Where does this fit compared to the 2022 PREMIUM XLE HYBRID ? I like the PREMIUM HYBRID too
Quick question, does the SE model comes in black colour?
yes, just go on Toyota.com
It does!!! And it looks great! Alllll black
@@ToyotaWorld thanks
We just got an SE 2022 a couple weeks ago, it’s black on black
Hey do you know if the 2022 se comes standard with a moonroof?
Ha I thought this was the Fred Haas Toyota World Channel for a second 😂
Silver & Black looks soooo Sharpe! I wish Black was that color now 😭😭
We have one on the way from the factory now. Its calvary blue, and we cant wait to see it in person!
It's actually cavalry blue and not Calvary blue like how all Americans are pronouncing it..
I am supposed to see a cavalry blue SE on Friday. I am not going to buy it because it is a knockoff built in Kentucky but I want to see if the color is as nasty in person as it is in photos and video.
Hi Mark, Can you please advise if the 5 stripe below the turn signal light, light up in Headlight when it is switched on?.
Hi Sir, would like to ask what’s the meaning of “Under Freight Inspection “ as the dealer assigned to me one from Japan. How long it will arrive?
I always watch your videos . Very detailed. But in this SE review you did not mention Moonroof . Does this come with Power sliding Moonroof?
Sorry about that. It does come with moonroof.
Does this model have remote start?
The US models are listed as having interior ambient lighting, however tons of people on the forums are reporting that it is missing from their 2022 Hybrid SE's. Do you have any information regarding the issue? It seems like some are coming with the promised ambient lighting, however the majority of people receiving new Hybrid SE's are missing theirs.
I also heard the US SE hybrid models dont come with sunroof.
@@harrie1081 yeah, not stock, but it is an add-on in the convenience package
Yeah we have an se on order and it has a sun roof and a 9" screen
Wow it's fantastique
I noticed that the SE doesn't have door sill protectors from the factory, but I know XLE does in Canada as standard equipment. Bizarre omission.
What all models of 2022 Rav come with command start? It’s so unclear online when I search places
the long led light strip is just a piece of chrome on xle model is it possible to put aftermarket led long light strip
Moonroof on the se?sirus fm radio?
Ordered exact se.will be here may 21.
Great color and package!
Does the XLE or SE package come with heated seats?
Yes, the SE does with an upgrade
I'd imagine the high polished gloss black bumpers/accents would be harder to maintain and show scratches and swirls...
If you buy that in Canada? Can you bring it to California?
RAV4 SE model has 7" of entertainment screen only? I will wait til they make it at least 8 or 9"
It comes with a wider screen with a certain option package I believe
It has an optional 9" screen
I wish today would give estimated arrival times when you build vehicles
It would be nice if we have a conversion between the US and UK Model Line up ! So far there's been very few UK Video's
Sounds like I need to move to the UK
On the car that's Calvary Blue, why does it have a white hood?
That’s just a hood protector wrap. Protects against scratches during transport on a truck etc. It peeled off when the car is delivered to the customer or placed in the showroom.
Does the 2022 SE come with a moonroof?
Yes
I got a Calvary blue Rav 4 hybrid SE in may and I love it
Looks great, but the SE needs black outer mirrors,
How. Long to get a 2022 venza XLE
I still have to zonk the door handle of this car. The inside driver side handle sucks. The screen sucks and the inside light sucks too. It is very dark. No sunglasses holder on top. I had a 2021 XLE hybrid rav 4 and traded it in for a venza. Love the venza.
if you have white of this SE im gonna take it..
Does the SE come with a auto rear lift gate? This view shows it but the Rav4 brochure says No! I'm in the US btw.
It does have it we just ordered one
Power lift gate isn't standard in the Rav 4 hybrid SE I bought one in may and it doesn't have one
how about a GR version
The lack of foglights is an appalling mistake.
The "audio plus" that is an option - sort of, every SE I have turned down in the past 4 months has it - is a total scam. Nearly $1100 for a 2" larger touchscreen. The other things it lists come standard and it is Toyota fluffing it up. Speaking of, that screen looks like it was designed in 2010.

These fake RAV4s should be sold at a 50% discount. That is how awful they are.
too bad it is impossible to get one
Far as I know our SE, Does not have a power liftgate
It does..
@@jvddavid1589 alrighty, the one we had did not
Flood lights should be standard! ridiculous $40K for nothing
Without 8 inch screen and soft-tex seat SE is not that much worth it..
Not a single reviewer has pronounced "Cavalry" correctly.
It’s not Calvary. Like the religion. It’s Cavalry. Like the military
