I finally found my next car, your acura integra videos showed to me that it's still a fun car and great looking. Your videos show every pro and cons, tech, to comfort and the whole 9 yards!
The 2024 woodland was my first new car. Bought it last week. I drove nothing but 30 year old hand me downs my entire life (I’m 35). When I hear people complain about heated seats and cloth and noise from the tires etc. or call it “bare bones”… I can’t help but laugh. My new car might as well be an alien space ship.
So I bought the woodland edition. I added the heated seats aftermarket, found rav4 specific leatherette seat covers, bought toyota logo steering wheel cover, all for less than how much toyota charges for weather package. 😳 i think it's worth it if you like to do things yourself
I’m waiting for my Woodland- added after market heated seats as well (the only “luxury” item was a must). I’m super excited for it to come in the end of the month.
Keep in mind that these aren't the true Falken Wildpeaks that everyone raves about. This is a manufacturer variant with a 001A label, or something of the sort, which is less blocky on the tread and not 3 peak rated.
Its actually a feature, now you can testdrive any vehicle Detroit makes in the most hazardous conditions possible. Its America's version of the Autobahn!
This looks awesome. Cloth seats, no sunroof and a manual rear lift gate are actually all things I want. I'm in Texas so heated seats or steering wheel are meaningless.
Leather cracks, and it's HOT! And it's slick. Always hated it, much prefer cloth. And more manual stuff just means less crap to break. Love that they went with the manual rear for the more "outdoorsy/rugged" trim
For those who like being connected to the road will love this crossover. 11:50 - 12:00 you hear and feel all those bumps. Hope this thing comes with a complimentary chiropractic session. Also, I love 16:50 - 18:12 send it straight to hell! Whooo!
Chris, For some time you have been living the 245 hp 2.5 Hybrid dream with your Highlander. Is it finally time for this powertrain to be introduced to the RAV4 lineup?🤔 That drivetrain combined with a suspension upgrade would bring the Woodland's tow rating up to par with other outdoorsy RAV4s without a cost in fuel efficiency. Toyota's decision to go from 17 to 18 inch rims on the Woodland is inexplicable 🤨
It's a Toyota, your money goes into build quality. If you want a nice interior and a car that will fall apart after a few years, you have plenty of other options.
About to buy one of these after much watching of videos. Boy, is it a whole different feel to my old FJ Cruiser :) I kept the FJ for 10 years, despite several limitations. But I am ready for a much newer generation of SUV, that is certainly more of a compromise, but also more of an all-round vehicle. If I didn't have to wait for the 2025 model year, for the new 4Runner, my choice would be harder. But right now, this is it.
I struggle to understand how Toyota came up with the conclusion it’s a good idea to not include heated seats or a heated steering…for an off-road oriented package. Wouldn’t one come with the other automatically?
I have never had a car with Heated seats or steering wheels with 30+ years of driving everything from Muscle cars to family cars and never had a problem driving in the winter months just put the heat on in the car and use something called gloves! I mean we are now at the point if you don't have heated seats your not going to buy a reliable vehicle?
I wouldn't want it, I live where its 110 in the summer if not hotter, and 70-80 during the winter. if anything I need cooled seats. Hate leather, like nice comfortable cloth. Even on its coldest day which might last a few hours it'll be 50. Glad they don't put it in and I waste money on something I wouldn't want in the first place.
@@Snafu2346 I kinda agree I live in colorado where its cold or hot and when you sit on leather seats your hot or cold. We got a highlander with cloth seats and it’s so nice when it’s cold and we don’t get really cold sitting on the seats
@@HEY_YALLL its the same reason I don't like leather in my car. Its too hot to the touch when the sun it on it. Its exacerbates the hold when its cold out. Cloth doesn't have that issue. I lived in Michigan for over 20 years, I remember all those horrible leather days in my accord during those -20 to 0 degree days. I live in south texas now, I don't need it getting any hotter.
I'm buying one. The TRD suspension plus hybrid sold me. Not going off-roading but good to have for skiing or boarding. I've watched all the crash testing, mechanics reviews. All recommended.
I am surprised that it doesn't have heated steering or seats I live in Canada and have 2023 Corolla Hybrid LE AWD and it comes standard with heated seats and leather wrapped heated steering.
@@tsizzle The Canadian version of the Rav woodland does have standard heated seats and heated wheel. Also comes with moonroof, TRD tuned suspension and power lift gate. Leather shifter and wheel. Based on the XLE trim level whereas the US version seems to follow the stripped down LE.
Oh, man! The ones thing I will have to buy separately for this vehicle later on is hood shocks. Not sure why they just don't come standard so all you do is lift your hood and the shocks keep it in place until you bring it down. Waiting for the 2025 Woodland to come out 1st before I make a final decision on which Woodland I want. Top choice is Green and black and 2nd black. If the price is down better I could see the White/Black. I wonder why there was no Blue/Black option on the 2024? I am hoping there is better color options on the 2025 besides the redesign talk I been catching RUclips videos about.
If you removed the cross bars and mud flaps, youd get 1-2 back on your MPG. Mud flaps are lame and you can easily remove the cross bars but leave the rack, just cause they obviously kill aero much more.
I feel like the heated seats/steering wheel and the “woodland edition” are both separate options. This Rav-4 ur in has the “woodland edition” package but not whatever package the heated seats come with. Which normally, a customer would be able to pick if they want one with both packages as an add-on or not.
Just depends on location. In the US the Woodland is a trim whereas in Canada it is a "package". The US variant got sort of screwed on options (as in literally no available packages)
Thanks for your review. I always enjoy your POV driving impressions. It’s a bit unclear what a “TRD tuned suspension” is in the Woodland. The marketing is a bit vague and ambiguous. It’s definitely NOT the same coils, bump stops and damper/shocks in the TRD off-road model. Otherwise as you pointed out it would have the same 8.6” ground clearance as the TRD off-road model. Did you actually peek inside the wheel wells to check to see if there are any “TRD” labeled equipment? It seems the woodland has the same coils, bump stop, and damper/shocks as the LE/XLE hybrid and maybe slightly adjusted a little bit to give a firmer ride.
With those black exterior / interior finishes it recalls the European variant of the '23 in the GR version, plus the '10.30 infotainment (the basic version of the latest Lexus) and the fully digital '10.25 instrumentation (that of the latest Toyota Crown). Same situation for the Corolla range. Greetings from the Italian peninsula (Calabria Region) Ciao!
My dad has told me owning a hybrid car in a cold climate (NE US) is a bad choice because the hybrid battery life is shortened to cold exposure. Moreover the battery replacement cost negates the MPG savings. How true is this?
Perhaps your dad is a genius. Anyway it’s not just the fuel efficiency, it’s the weight and more power it offers. As in the driving experience. A lot more horse power and in some cases better handling. Many manufactures have a guarantee on their. batteries for 5-10 years or 150 000miles and above. I’m sure in another 5 years time servicing the cells will make things a lot cheaper and battery costs will come down. Cheers.
With all due respect to your dad, who I’m sure is a great great man, I own a 2006 Prius with close to 450 000 km on the clock and this thing still charges very well. So I seriously don’t know what you’re dad’s talking about. It feels like he’s just looking for a reason to dislike hybrids.
@@jaybou007 no offense taken. I think what he's saying is urban legend or perhaps just old stigma. But he watches a lot of this popular guy on YT named Scotty Kilmer who seems to dislike hybrids
There is no Power Back Door (PBD) option for the 2023 RAV4 Woodland Edition, as it is sold in the USA. 1. The driver should nonetheless have a button for the Back Door Latch Release. 2. There is no Key Fob Button for the Latch Release. 3. There is no Key Port to open that back door mechanically. The absence of these three features has been my greatest disappointment with the vehicle. There is only the one button above the license plate, which often requires several presses to release the latch.
I am on my 9th Toyota, so I am obviously a fan, but I do not understand Toyota's point with this car. I am perplexed as to why they didn't drop a hybrid in the TRD Offroad -- better ground clearance, already has the suspension and all-terrain tires, nicer available options/upgrades on the interior, heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats. Instead, they give us this thing--I get it, they are trying to keep with the Wilderness line of cars from Subaru, perhaps the Bronco Sport, etc., that are soft roaders becoming a bit more rugged. It looks good from the outside but there's not not enough here in my opinion to justify considering this car. Like you said, just get a RAV4 hybrid that gives you nicer features, lift it an inch or two, throw some all terrain tires on it, and you've got a decent little soft roader that is not so bare bones.
Right? Though, if you were to get the same specs, you're paying $2500 more for the "softer" suspension, and the all terrain tires. And themed floormats, I guess. I think the base trim hybrid and woodland trims have the same ground clearance. Which I think is bonkers considering the market they were going for with this. At least make it a half inch taller, geez.
Toyota, you gotta step it up with your interior materials. If I’m gonna pay 35k, I expect a decent quality of materials. My 2019 CRV EX, and 2020 Forester has great interior materials and quality feel.
Toyota is still wayyyy behind its competitors regarding interiors. I am not sure if the high sales makes them lazy or think reliability makes up for it.
People don’t buy Toyotas for the interior. We buy them because they last a long time. My GM-Toyota partnership car has lasted 16 years. All Toyota parts are still good, it’s the GM ones, I’ve had to replace.
No it doesn’t, he mis-quoted. It’s still 40combined. His winter drive is obviously a little aggressive. I’m getting 36-37 in temperatures below freezing.
And the cross bars and mudflaps can be removed when not in use to gain back another 1-2 mpg. Can't change tires, though, and kinda need those for the purpose this trim supposedly serves
Seems like a great package except for the unrefined 4 banger. We test drove a non-hybrid version recently and the engine sounded rough and very loud. It just didn't fit with how well engineered the rest of the vehicle seemed to be. Deal-breaker for us.
I was excited at first but to hear and see the hollow plastic build quality and to have so few amenities and lackluster MPG with the hybrid system in the colder climate the Subaru Forester Sport is cheaper and has auto lift gate and upgraded audio. This is kind of a let down trim package by Toyota.
@@davewilson7602 except the Corolla cross is a complete dog to drive. The Rav is a good comparison for those that enjoy driving. That said, the Crosstrek is more fun to drive, AWD is better, not as noisy, and handles potholes and rough roads better. Oh, and heated seats.
Definitely "better" than a Crosstrek, but if it's my money on the line I'd still go for the Subaru. Neither vehicle is particularly compelling, but at least one is priced honestly
@@jeffreyhoch but they’re not in the same price class, the crosstrek competes with a Corolla cross and not a rav4. Now whichever is better you are absolutely entitled to whatever opinion, I’m just saying the Rav4 and Crosstrek aren’t competitors
Another overpriced appearance package! Ride quality is definitely the hidden flaw of the Rav4, and has been for a while. I've got a 2016 XLE, and it's pleasant on a back road, but around town almost any random bump can really rattle the thing around.
It’s around 1k more compared to an XLE so I wouldn’t say overpriced at all since you get the tires, wheels, tuned suspension, and the weather custom floor mats.
these car companies gotta stop with off road stuff. no one is taking any of these things off road. its a marketing ploy to charge more money for 0 gains
This trim doesn’t make sense. You give up about 4mpgs for no reason really. The non hybrid RAV4 averages 32mpg. Not sure it’s worth getting this for an extra 4mpg for about $5000 more???.
So, this is a base base LE trim, but with some mediocre offroad cosmetics, lol? Not worth the extra cost.. The nicest trim RAV is the Limited, but even those aren't worth the price.
@@DizzyMan24 And yet the RAV4 is a very successful Vehicle commercially. Big waiting lists for RAV4 Hybrids. And in the 2nd hand market they can be more expensive than a new one. The RAV4 Hybrid is 1 000 000 % better than the Rogue. We pubic agree as sales are fantastic.

When you’ve been driving a 16 year old car you’ve had since you were a teen, yes.

That’s a good point, you’re right!
Yeah I guess they did to so the MPG would not be further impacted as it is slightly less MPG then with the standard all-season tires.
Steady Topher, she’s not a 4Runner, though it’s getting closer in price.
Always a great review
👍
not the plastic steering wheel 💀
literally I was thinking how nice this would be to own and then the steering wheel jumpscare
Michigan roads be looking like an earthquake rolled through. Who needs trails when you can just wait for March in a midwestern state?
In a month you’ll need a Raptor just to get around without bending a wheel

How would compare this to a Forester Wilderness??
Rav4 would be extremely economical and the Forrester could be better for extremely rough roads. Personal choice.

how does this compare to the brand new CRV by honda?
This versus the newly designed CRV hybrid?
My question is who in their right mind is off-roading a RAV4 hybrid?
Is more just to be able to do light trail not off roading lol

This car interior looks Like its from '98.
these car companies gotta stop with off road stuff. no one is taking any of these things off road. its a marketing ploy to charge more money for 0 gains

This trim doesn’t make sense. You give up about 4mpgs for no reason really. The non hybrid RAV4 averages 32mpg. Not sure it’s worth getting this for an extra 4mpg for about $5000 more???.
I owned a non hybrid… 32 mpg mix driving city/hwy is what I was averaging!
I own the woodland hybrid now. 1000 miles in now and I’m averaging 42 mpg
Easily getting 150 miles more per tank. That’s roughly 4.5 gallons of gas more.
So, this is a base base LE trim, but with some mediocre offroad cosmetics, lol? Not worth the extra cost.. The nicest trim RAV is the Limited, but even those aren't worth the price.
What vehicles do you think are worth the cost. The limited is good.
@John Martin Lots are, the Limited RAV isn't. A Rogue Platinum of CX5, etc are all better.
Lol thinking a Nissan rogue is comparable or better than any Toyota.
@areallytallguy Sorry, but the Rogue is %100 better than a RAV4. I've worked for both brands, too.
@@DizzyMan24 And yet the RAV4 is a very successful Vehicle commercially. Big waiting lists for RAV4 Hybrids. And in the 2nd hand market they can be more expensive than a new one. The RAV4 Hybrid is 1 000 000 % better than the Rogue. We pubic agree as sales are fantastic.
No sunroof for an off-road-themed trim is crazy 💀
The hell you need a sunroof for when off roading
@@mitchaser5159 yeah but no open top of any kind just feels weird
What the Hell Toyota 😂😂😂 I wouldn't spend more than $15K on that, and that's me being generous.
Toyota really went "we see you Subaru Wilderness Edition and we can do it worse"
34k for an "off road oriented" car that doesn't gain any ground clearance, bargain basket interior, nothing special.

Trust me this is not worth buying
That infotainment system looks like trash. Come on, Toyota, it’s 2023…
They're so cheap
Higher trims have the newer system
@@benhurbenstiller it’s obviously cheap cause it’s the mid-tier trim
2023 very poor.
Nothing beats a Subaru Forester in this space, sorry.
Good car, also have one, not much changes in facelift
