This is one of the first reviews I watched before getting my rav4! One of the best I've seen. I've had my rav4 since April now & absolutely love it!
@Adil I don’t mind you asking! I want to say the original asking price was $29k but we got it down to $25k because of my trade in value on my other car & rebates they had. I didn’t get the LE either
@@staceymason739 How many mpg do you average?
It's December 2023 and I'm looking to buy a new car how has your Toyota rav4 2021 held up all these years
I usually drive in eco mode and I have a 2017 RAV-4. Eco mode definitely limits your throttle, but I like it because I can drive 2 hours on the highway without wasting too much fuel. I have had no problems with the 2017 RAV-4, and I'm leasing this 2021 model soon, so I'm glad I watched this.
Well done. I’ve had mine for one month and I’m extremely happy with it.
You like the 8 speed transmission too? I heard it hesitates at low speeds.
I purchased mine yesterday, and I’m very happy with my purchase!
Hey what do you feel about its handling on the road? And does it have enough power?
What kind of gas mileage are you seeing with normal driving
@@jamesdupske4785 My 19 LE AWD gas model will get 35-38 mpg at 70-75 mph. It has good power over 2500 rpm.
Thank you for the review, you covered all the different aspects, helpful and professional thanks again.
I’m really enjoying your reviews. You are doing a great job. You are very detailed in your descriptions. Im going to buy my first new car since ten years ago in the next few months. Your reviews are very helpful. I want to buy a small suv. Do you feel like the Toyota is the way to go or Mazda or the Subaru or Honda? I’m going to choose between those four car brands. I want one with good safety features good gas mileage good space in the interior and good handling.
Can’t go wrong with Honda or Toyota. Mazda has been bringing their A game for the past couple years. I think Subaru checks all your boxes though, that’s my favorite handling car especially the Forester.
I enjoyed my prior Subarus but they have over engineered basic tasks and their windshield replacements are expensive due to EyeSight .
I like the Toyota no CVT, no turbo or oil dilution concerns and no timing belt. Strong resale 👍.
I bought mine last saturday the 20th. just love the car.
I know this is a base model but nissan rogue base model doesnt go cheap with hub caps wheels and non push button. That should be standard now for all trim in 2021.
@Red I'm on my second car with push-start button, and I do not miss key ignition. And as for a Rogue, it has Jatco CVT that has the history of being the worst on the market...
I just bought one yesterday, love it!
Is the engine too noisy like people say?
@@Jaya.M78 Na is good I love it, drives smooth . I commute to the Bay Area and I save more money on it too rather than my Camry I used to have and those are the only models I drove before this
@@manuelgarcia5961 Oh great!
How much you paid out the door? If you dont mind me asking. I would like to buy one soon
@@904khmer 26k out the door with 0.6% interest for 5 years
I just bought mine yesterday and love it
How's the handling??
This may be very minor but I don’t like that when your starting the engine it is not push start
You do the best car reviews.
You cover all the bases.
Keep up the great work.
You could probably get a bigger audience if you could give more descriptions of the vehicle as well as when you're driving rather than dead air time. Overall, enjoyed your review.
Still one of the best SUVs for me to buy.
So glad your review included the engine
Nice review! Great job!
I think you forgot to mention one important thing and that is how comfortable you were in the drivers seat being 6 foot 3 inches tall. Other than that I like your video.
Bought one and I love it
I have 21 RAV4 LE fwd got mine used it’s my first Toyota n I really like it n I was surprised it did really well on the highway
Exactly the review I was looking for, great job
Eco keeps it in Highest gear possible not lowest.
buying one this Wednesday
Buying these next 20 years
How is it?
@Adil 30k
I'm buying this car tomorrow.
Excellent car review!!!
Man, I am sold!!!
Hey Man. This was a base model for sure with the hub caps and an actual key to start the car. Wow. .
I do like this body style much better than any of the earlier ones.
Get the base model LE RAV4 AWD. And buy the rims your self for like $600 .. if you tell the dealer you want rims you’re looking at $3,000 more... forget that I’ll just buy them .. actually that what I did .. love the rav 4
Nice test drive but does the LE have the ability to show your speed digitally in your center drivers display?
I think so….
Canadian models get standard front heated seats and All weather form fitted floor mats 👍
Getting mines in a week cant wait
Hello, can JBL speakers, moon roof, black wheels be added to this LE model? Because honesty that’s all I need.
I think you’d have to go up to the XLE, but even if you added those to an LE, I think an XLE would end up being a better but, especially in terms of resale value.
Nothin’ But Car Reviews I appreciate the response, thank you.
Camry or RAV4 ? They are the same price LE well almost
Depends on what you want. 🤷🏾♂️ Both are pretty similar, just ones a sedan and ones a small suv. 😕
The Camry will have a smoother ride and quieter cabin.
Not sure I'd be taking my hands off the wheel...what if the front end is out of alignment? (One pothole and you're done for!)
Debating whether to get the rav4 or '22 civic sedan sport. Sedans usually have better mpg than suv but the civic doesnt have awd, although the aesthetics wins over the rav4. Where i live both are similar in price (honda with their outstanding apr). This shit is giving me a headache
I just brought mine 2 days ago. Very nice vehicle!
Hey what do you feel about the steering/handling and the road noise?
@@Jaya.M78 the steering and handling on my 2021 Rav 4 is fine. I would say, I have to get use to the lane assist feature. It pulls the vehicle back into your lane if you start to drift. I'm not use to this. It scares me sometimes. I guess I could disable it but why would I when it's a safety feature on the Rav 4. There are lots of safety features on the Rav4. I have to take time and read 📚 up on them.
I was driving a 2010 Honda Civic that I racked 230,000 miles on it alone. I drove it for the pass 10 years. Someone finally crashed into from behind 4 weeks ago and totaled it. The Honda Civic did not have all the nice features as my Rav4. My Rav4 2021 drives smooth like butter. This is my first SUV. Some road noise but my Honda Civic had even more. Overall I'm pleased with vehicle the Lord blessed me with. I can tell you it's a very fun vehicle to drive 🚗. If you're thinking about purchasing one, go for it!! I have no regrets.
@@jochosen3969 Oh that's great! Thanks a lot for the detailed reply dude :) Enjoy!
LE or XLE?
Can you buy rims for the LE through a Toyota dealership? I hate the hub caps.
I think so, just might not be that size.
Yes you can get rims for the LE, but you’d probably better off to get the XLE or Hybrid LE.
Considering you 6’3, that’s tons of leg room front and back.
Just bought the AWD blacked out package LE. I’m in love! 🤍
I heard the 8 speed transmission is jerky at low speeds, is that true Desiree?
@@braetonwilson4296 Yes, I can attest to this. It doesn’t happen often but it can be annoying even though the jerking is minimal. I even had the service department check it but apparently there is nothing wrong it. I love my truck though. It drives smooth for the most part, and is great over all.
LE trim is good enough.
I got one too and ❤️Love It!
Ive seen other rav4 le with multi terrain select.Does the 2021 rav4 le come with multi terrain select all the time?and I havent seen this le doesnt have...just asking
No, only on higher trim AWDs i think
What to do if it’s snowing outside?
😬😬😬🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@NothinButCarReviews are there any safety features, or tips?
Does it have remote engine start ?
It does not
I wish there was aux input still, smh
Just traded a 2017 Rav4 LE for a 21 LE. One issue is that I had more interior room in 2017 model (driver leg at right of knee, rear cargo the ice cooler I had in the 2017 I could open the cooler fully. I cannot open cooler all the way in the 2021).
Not sure what you mean. I have a 19 RAV4, it’s much bigger than the 18. I can not drive an 18 since the seat is too close to the pedals, even when all the way back.
I heard the 8 speed transmission in new RAV4 is not good because it jerks and hesitates at low speeds. Is that true?
@@braetonwilson4296 I don’t have any issues with my 19. The new ones are even smoother.
90 mph on the "interstate"?
Great vehicle
Everything is great except the hubcaps . 🔥
This car is actually a RAV2.
FWD on a car called a "Rav4" is a joke.
Will this come with a rear AC vents??
No
Yes .i just got my gx 2020 dec built rav 4 with leather steering wheel push button start 5 usb ports rear ac mud flaps .Australia
Anyone having issues with sluggish acceleration? The issue with mine was such that I thought the emergency parking brake was engaged.
Meant to save fuel, but Sport mode will help with that "sluggish" acceleration. ;)
Yes , I had same opinion like you , I brought this 2021 model a month back , Previously I had Nissan altima (sedan) , It was a very smooth drive , instant pickup , After using Nissan car , this car look like slow sluggish and gas pedal little harder to push where as in my previous car very smooth , So I went to ask Dealer regarding this matter, They said , since I using eco mode it has control , mainly for the purpose of saving gas , If you switch to sport mode you will see the difference , speed acceleration pick up but it burn fuel like other cars
My 2020 has really nice acceleration. It's smooth and overtaking isn't an issue.
How much they cost in outdoor?
MSRP? 🤷🏾♂️
Around $30,000
I liked Rav4 LE (base) but since I see Rogue 2021 then I will buy rogue. Rogue S (base) has alloy wheels and half smart key (keyless entry and start button).
You want a rav4 not a rogue, trust me.
I own a nissan and a toyota, trust me. Go with Toyota.
@@NoName-gv6nm I'll get Rav4 then.
Don’t get the rogue I believe they use a cvt transmission and Nissan is well known to have issues with all the cvt transmissions. Trust me I used to own a Nissan with the cvt and I will never buy another Nissan.
Rogue will go "rogue" on your wallet. Rogue is a money-pit! You'll be SORRY out after you own one!
Awd or Fwd ?
FWD
That's loud
THAT IS ACTUALLY MY MOM'S CAR
Those steel wheels in a car almost 30k is a deal breaker. Toyota fans buying any car they produce is killing the brand. People will buy anything because is Toyota. Also that cloth is horrible, cheaper than cheap...
that wheels look like crap
👍💖💚
Those wheel cups and boring infotainment is still joke for the price...
Are wheel cups the tacky plastic part above the tires? It is so ugly.
I have this same car LE base it snowed in Chicago I was stuck in the snow twice but I still love my truck. I just wish I knew to get awd
I hate push button start and electronic parking brake. "Chick" features that all car companies are offering....please stop.
Please tell me you had your window OPEN when driving? I could hear everything outside! Even the Squirrels doing the nasty. NO WAY! NO THANKS! I'll pass.
