Great review again! If you remember me I have the exact same Rav4 XSE in blizzard pearl also. My Rav turned 1 year yesterday and it turned to 12,000 miles (20,000 kms) that day also. I totally share the same love for this great car. At first I didn't like the digital mirror but after a month of ownership I forced myself to have it on all the time. Low and behold after a month I got used to it and I won't go back to the regular review mirror. I don't know how you keep the paint on the front of your Rav4 so clean as mine has bug marks that seem almost impossible to clean off. But in general I love the white pearl color complimented by the black gloss roof and black wheels. I'm the only driver of my car as I'm single so I can hypermile as you call it but I don't make that big an effort other then always driving in ECO mode and being smooth in acceleration & braking. I get 60 Imperial mpg (50 US) in the middle of the summer as I stated in a previous comment on your 3 month review. I also highly recommend this wonderful car to everyone I meet. Thanks again for the review and drive safe.
Don’t have a RAV4 but I do have a Camry hybrid with the same hybrid system and it’s great!
This was very helpful to me. I have a 21 on order and looking forward to it. Reviews that show ownership over a period of time are rare as opposed to the "walk around" videos. Thanks for making it. You've helped me more comfortable with my choice.
Thanks for watching and for leaving the kind words! You will have no regrets with the RAV4 Hybrid. Its a great little SUV and I actually miss ours. Car buys are a big deal and a major commitment. Its smart to do your research! Congratulations on your purchase and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did ours!
@@QuickShifts Why did you get rid of it?
@@dj3114 getting rid of it sounds harsh. LOL!
We just moved on to the next adventure. We moved on because we wanted to try the new Grand Cherokee L. They are apples and oranges and you can’t compare them. But we like to try new vehicles which allows us to bring you new content.
A great realistic review of the RAV4 and so much better as it’s a true long term review. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the kind words and for watching and commenting!
You’re right about the quiet ride! My friends often notice that too. My heart was sold on a 4Runner but most of my driving is in the city, which gives you low fuel economy. 4Runner has a big thirsty engine so I decided to go with RAV4 Hybrid and I don’t regret it so far. Maybe in the future if the 4Runner gets a more efficient engine I will switch.
With the new engine announced in the Tundra, the 4 runner can’t be far behind. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great Review. This answers several of my questions. Thank You So Much!
Glad to help, thanks for watching and commenting!
Great review. Thank you for this. I am debating getting one of these and your review swayed me!
Glad you found it useful! Thanks for sharing and for watching! Much appreciated.
We bought our 2021 Rav4 October 2020 and we love it. We have had zero issues so far.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad to here you are also having a good experience as an owner!
i got the 21 limited venza in 12/20!!!! i soooo luv my new ride!!!! the tank issue is same as rav--can only fill 10-11 gals but getn 41mpg!!! super cushioned seats & whole vehicle feels total luxury!!!
tysm 4 ur good opinion!!! :)
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! Sounds like you have no regrets on your Venza. Interesting that they have the same gas tank problem.
I have a 2021 XLE (purchased last May) just FWD and 8spd and it's great. I get about 40mpg or mid 30's combined. Very happy. No gas gauge or CVT issues either.
Great feedback, very helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Just got a 22 Rav4 SE in zBlack. It’s the first hybrid they had come in for awhile. We absolutely love it
Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did ours!. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great review guy! I bought my Rav4 Prime plug-in about a month ago and have a little over 2,400 miles. I love this car, everything you said is true! For those out there, see if you can buy the plug-in prime though. You get about 40+ miles on just pure battery power and then it turns into a regular hybrid. I went 2,380 on a tank of gas because I charged my car everything I got home. It’s a great car, if you can get it though, the wait time is a little over a year or so and the Rav4 Prime is only made in Japan so production is limited.
Appreciate the feedback and agree, I would get a prime if it was available. At the time they weren’t out yet and now they are unobtainable.
Your driving around in my old elementary school parking lot lol! So crazy! Nice review!
Small world right?! My son just graduated 5th grade from Bells. Thank you for the kind words and for watching! See you around! 👍🏻
Thank you, I purchased a 2021 RAV4 XLE Hybrid in July. I traded my 2018 RAV4 XLE on it. So far Im satisfied with my purchase gas mileage average 44mpg
Congratulations! The savings adds up. Even more now with the rising cost of gas!
I still love my 2018 RAV4 but no trade for me. Until 3 years pay off my own one :)
I’m waiting on my 2021 XSE to come in. Should be on the 24th. This makes me super excited! Especially the mileage. I travel a lot. I’m getting about 28 mpg right now so this will be a huge step up. I had to get magnetic gray cause they sold the blizzard pearl 20 minutes before I got there.
Congratulations on the purchase! I have no doubt that you will enjoy the RAV4 Hybrid. It’s a great little SUV and the mpgs are pretty darn good! Thanks for watching and dropping us a comment!
The magnetic gray looks sick. I kinda preferred that one to the blueprint I ended up getting, but I couldn't find one with the specs I wanted in that color. Really, all the XSE colors look classy to me.
I just got mine coming from 18 mpg
@@shane5385 LOL! You’ll think you won the MPG jackpot! Enjoy it!
Good review, thanks for your opinions.
Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!
Man I am still waiting for our Rav4 Hybrid XLE! It took me and my wife 2 years to save up to get a nice fat down payment on it, but COVID happen still waiting for our build date! It has been 2 months. I am coming from a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When I hear 40 MPG, I am coming from a 16 mpg SUV. Thanks for the review. I guess I would just have to wait D: My Jeep has Engine Lights, Brake & ABS!
Patients is a virtue. Good things come to those who wait. HAHA! Thanks for watching!
Nice review. Hello from another South Carolinian in the Upstate.
Hi there neighbor! Thank you for the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Please don’t hypermile during rush hour or if there’s other cars behind you. Stay in the right lane. Great video glad you are enjoying the RAV4. Thinking of getting s 2023 to replace my 2010 w/ V6.
Thanks for watching and sharing. Sharing is caring! 😉🤣
I have a 2020 XSE with the same features and I LOVE it. Totally agree with this video. I’m averaging around 36-37 mpg though, but that’s probably because I’m heavy-footed. I just took it on its first long trip and was blown away by the comfort and ease. The adaptive cruise with lane tracing makes a long trip so much less taxing than any other vehicle I’ve owned. Cheers to many more miles with this awesome little suv!
Edit: Things have taken a turn with the Rav. Started having an issue where the 12v battery dies out of nowhere. And after the first time it happened, the steering became unpredictably off center. Had the whole steering rack replaced and it's still doing it. I've had this thing back at the dealer about once every other week for months. There are service bulletins out about all these things AND a class action about the battery issue. I literally have to carry a spare 12v battery with me everywhere. It's insane. I LOVE the car, but this is not worth it.
Thanks for the comment and the extra info! It was a great SUV. Here’s to many more event free miles for you!
For anyone else reading later with the same issue, I bumped my tire pressure up just a little and I'm back up to 39-40ish on my mileage. I was just a little low. Maybe others are out there too :)
is that highway or city?
@@2000rayc Fairly mixed.
That doesn’t sound good about the battery. I hope you get it sorted.
I'm now deciding between different hybrid models. My main factor is MPG, driving power, and space and storage honestly. I think I will add the Rav4 hybrid to the list!
I think you made a smart choice. You get all those things plus Toyota quality and resale value. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have 3 months with mine and I love ittttt
Great stuff my friend!
Hybrids are the answer. We could double our CAFE numbers and keep the convenience of ICE vehicles.
Hybrids aren't slow either. This hybrid matches the performance numbers of my 96 Integra GS-R I had back in the 90s. Cars are better now than ever.
I agree with you and Toyota. it’s a sweet spot that needs more attention.
Hi. Great review. You mentioned a protective shield on the hood. Is that a finish, plastic wrap or something else? I do a lot of highway driving and would like to protect the hood. I’m waiting for my RAV4 to be delivered. Thanks. Russ
It’s a protective wrap like Expel but a factory option. Covered the full hood and the mirrors. Again it was an option and you need to add it to get it. If you didn’t opt it, you can get it added by most detail shops or tint shops. Thanks for watching and for dropping a comment!
I just ordered a SE Hybrid....12 MONTH DELIVERY TIME. It's June ' 22, it will be a '23 model...next summer!!
Lead times are crazy now. I don’t know that I would have the patience to wait a year!
I bet that added harshness after 25k if the tires wearing off. Less rubber, less cushion. Usually cars get softer with age. Maybe clunky with enough wear. I find a new set of tires brings back that little bit of softness. Hell my 250k prius still feels amost new all stock .
Perhaps the tire wear had something to do with it. Maybe I’m being overly critical after having test drive some other newer vehicles. It wasn’t something that concerned me enough to think twice about it though. Just trying to be thorough. 😉👍
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great idea with the rear mat.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Great review! Question: how do you like your headlights? The IIHS gave the headlights on this particular trim a poor rating, so I was curious about your experience.
They functioned without any problems. Ours had the auto sensing headlights and they seemed to work well judging on coming traffic. On occasion, some passing cards would flash their lights at you to indicate you had your brights on even when you did not. If that is an indication of how well they worked. All that being said, my Jeep Gladiator head lights are brighter, but I’ve always felt the new Jeep LEDs are crazy bright. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@QuickShifts The LED lights on new cars hurt my eyes. They shouldn't be legal.
That said, the rav4 lights are plenty bright and you can see just fine. I took one out for a test drive earlier this month.
@@norbzt agreed, they do a good job of lighting the path ahead of you. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yep. Love my car. 19 rav 4 xse with the jbl. 52k already. I might be trading it in soon and ordering 22 rav4 se. there was a fuel pump recall for 19 so I’m not sure if that is what is causing me to be getting 32 mpg consistently over the winter. That will be fixed for free soon.
So many variables that affect mpg, would be hard to say. Winters in South Carolina are not that could. Certainly helps out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've done a quick conversion from US Gallons to Litres to understand better what you were saying, and it is what I believed regarding to fuel consumption. However I was astonished when you said that to fill up a tank with approx 12 gallons you spend like USD 25... Over here in Europe it would be like the equivalent of USD 100. You american are so lucky with the price of cars and fuel, much cheaper than here (and your salaries are higher!)
At the time I filmed this, gas was much cheaper. We now pay $3.69 usd per gallon.
As for the rest, I think much of that is perspective. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. There is always someone who makes more money. And I am jealous of all the vacation you get over in Europe! LOL!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video. Can you help explain the harshness on the ride? We are thinking for an XSE as well but worried about the ride quality. Thanks.
It’s not harsh at all. If you come into it from a high end luxury car, it’s not as plush of a ride, but if you come in from a Kia you’ll think it’s the best ride ever! LOL! It’s some what subjective. It rides well especially at the price point. 👍🏻
@@QuickShifts Thanks.
@@netman88 No, thank you for watching and commenting!
Great review! I’m mulling on one for next year. If you don’t mind sharing, could I know how much you paid OUT?
Thanks for watching and commenting!
We paid $35k out the door. This was just before prices went nuts like they are today.
@@QuickShifts Ok, good. Yes, that’s the reason I’m willing to wait till next year.
Thanks! Just put a deposit down for a 2021 model. I've seen that in the past, there's been an issue with the trip computer and the fuel gauge not being in sync -- that the computer shows you have less range left than you actually do. Did you have that issue with this model and, if so, did you get the repair made? Or was it fixed at the factory by the time they built yours? Thanks!
No, we never encountered this issue. here’s to hoping you don’t either! Congratulations on your purchase and thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the review, hearing that it’s a “smaller” vehicle from a European perspective is very funny though 😁
Yes, that is a good point! LOL!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@@QuickShifts no problem 😉 btw, just ordered mine 😁
@@bardz0sz you will not be disappointed with this one. Congratulations!
In Hong kong it is a large size
@@carlnilssonyoung8961 Yes, it would be. Americans love their giant vehicles! Haha!
My Rav4 Prime XSE is every 10k miles oil change. Only gripe I have is the glove compartment does not lock.
I’m jealous of your Prime. 🤣
Do you like the 360 camera for front and back parking? I think this is a banner point for this vehicle. The Honda CRV does not have it only the traditional back park assist, this has both and a red proximity warning on the 360.
It was very nice to have on a Toyota that usually has dated technology. Toyota is usually late to the game, but they always make sure it works flawlessly when they show up. Thanks for watching and commenting!
My 2022 RAV4 Hybrid has achieved over 50 MPG in stop and go traffic on the way to work in eco-mode and driven with a light foot. My average is 40 MPG.
Nice work! I could only do that under perfect conditions going down hill.
@@QuickShifts, I had my second of the dealer's 'free for two years' Oil Change and have not been able to hit the 50-MPG since. I don't know if it included a software update, but It seems to be showing a lower MPG, lately.
@@reaality3860 could be due to winter gas. The formula changes during the winter months and it is not as good as the summer formula.
@@QuickShifts, thanks for the info!
Hey man if you haven’t already, strongly recommend you get your oil changed every time you go in for your 5,000 mile service. For reference watch the car care nut Toyota maintenance video. If you want to keep it 15 plus years you need to do the oil every 5k miles and not 10k. It’s starting to show up that 100,000 plus miles and these start to burn oil with the 5k oil changes
interesting info, put this car is a few cars ago already. was a great little suv though. Thanks for commenting and posting!
What kind of tint did you get on it? Looks good, maybe a suggestion to mine as well!
The dealer added the tint at North Carolina standards so I am not knowledgeable about specific brands and what not but it was holding up well and showed no signs of aging and it sat outside in the South Carolina sun always.
Thanks!
Thank you so very much! 👍😃
Does Toyota recommend an upholstery cleaner/conditioner for this interior. Something similar to Meguair’s Gold? I’ve used this on the leather in my 2015 Volvo XC60 and seats at 70,000 miles have very few wrinkles. I am 6’2” 240 pounds.
Not sure if I have seen any recommendations from Toyota, but I used Adam’s Total Interior Cleaner on it with good results. it’s not real leather so a leather conditioner would not do much to it. I’m 260lbs and you can see there is little wear on the seat in the video.
Omg where the dirt hits drives me crazy on my rav xle on the trunk
Got to maximize that airflow! This is the end result of it. LOL! Thanks for watching and commenting!
The rear luggage area privacy screen can be stored under the luggage area floor.
Nice info. I never tried that.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
You should look into openpilot with all the driving you do.
Thanks for the feedback. I have moved on from the RAV4 now.
Dream car 🚗
It was a good little suv! 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
We have the '21 RAV4 limited hybrid and I've had a couple major issues with it:
1) It makes my 2017 Outback seem really old and dumb...
2) The center console temp gage keeps switching back to Celsius even though I'm an American and we are committed to difficult and inconsistent forms of measurement. (Anyone else have this problem?)
Otherwise, this is easily the best car we've ever owned.
Great comment! LOL! Thanks for watching and dropping a note!
Hi Steven, Yes! I have the same Celsius issue with my 21 Rav4 prime, I change it back to Fahrenheit almost every time I start it up and notice it is back to Celsius on the weather display after a power cycle. It's annoying but glad the temp and the fuel gauge showing less mileage than actual is the only problems I have with the prime after 20k miles.
We have 2 of them, would recommend the panoramic roof, much brighter inside. Anyone Still having issues with gas tank fill up problem??
Thanks for dropping a comment. For us we just got used to topping it off all the time. If my range was over 550 for a new tank then I knew it was full. 👍
PS I heard for the recall, they would make you fill the gas tank and come in. Then they would reset the computer. Anyone actually have this done?
@@QuickShifts I had the fuel tanks replaced already as part of the recall. But when the low fuel light comes on thee is suppose to be 2 gal or less. So for a 14.5 gal tank. Figured I would at LEAST get 12 gal in there. Nope filling stops at 11 max ( sometimes less). So dealer said I have to come in on empty ( eg low fuel light on) and I will take them to fill it up to prove it’s not taking the 12+ gal. I think there is a computer bug still IMHO.
@@biggun7 sounds similar to ours on the stock tank. I would have problems filling it completely too. I would have to play with the gas pump nozzle to get in a full extra gallon of gas. Like they tell you not to do with a fuel pump. I just got used to it.
We don’t get the panoramic roof in the Hybrid here is Australia, it’s only available on the non-hybrid. We only get the regular sized sunroof sadly
You guys are lucky I fill up mine in Canada cost me 70 dollars
Ouch! Hope it gets better!
I been looking at the rave 4 plugin .I have a 2021 kia telluride .I love the car but the the gas mileage is so bad .I do alot of city driving and I only average 12 to 14 mph. highway maybe 22 mpg. with 10,000 miles on I only averaged 16.5 mpg. Im actually thinking of getting rid of it and getting the Rav4 .
If gas mileage is your main concern, the RAV4 will make you much happier. It is smaller then your Telluride though. So you make sure you can accept the differences.
I started to look but the dealers want way over the msrp . One guy on the web site it fully loaded rave4 prime sxe for 49 thousand . I got ahold of him and he said there is a dealer markup the price of the car would be 58 grand.I herd from another git and they quoted 66 grand. It's cheaper to keep my suv and pay the gas prices then buy the rav4 prime at this time.
@@johnmcmanus123 unfortunately that is the market right now and you are correct. It’s a sellers market. In your case, you should be able to offset the mark up with your trade in. You also have one of the hot vehicles in the market. If I was you, I would use that in my negotiation.
How does the gloss black paint hold up with dust/scratching especially on the rooftop and rear bumper?
Pretty well. There is a lot of metallic flake in the black that is hard to capture in video. It hides a lot. But even so, we didn’t encounter a lot of scratching or chipping during the time we owned it. Water spots when washing it was a bigger issue but easily resolved by drying the car properly after washing. LOL!
@@QuickShifts do you still own it?
@@eleanormassaro5195 no, we traded in on a Grand Cherokee L several months ago.
Just how comfortable are you in that seat ? I see that they aren’t that wide and I wonder how well your back fits in it
It was a comfortable fit considering the size of the car. No issues getting in and out. Held up very well over long trips. We were pleased with the seats.
I have same vehicle with 100k. Lots of rock chips with this paint. But I do live in Canada so it takes some debri some times.
No doubt! I was getting some, but compared to some GM vehicles I’ve owned in the past, it was holding up fairly well. I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Put a comma 3 in it and you’ll have the Ultimate driving machine. I have a 2017 rave 4 with the comma 2 driving me around it’s so amazing how well it drives
I didn’t know about the comma 2 when I bought my 2017 but the 2017 cuts out at 24 mph Toyota sense 2 started in 2019 it goes to 0mph
Google comma 3 and tell me what you think
But I actually enjoy driving myself. 😉
you’re getting 500-550 miles?!?! I have a 2020 Rav4 XSE hybrid, with the gas tank issue apparently fixed, and I’m averaging only 400 miles from full to empty! When I fill up my gas tank, it gets to only 450 max as total distance! Ughhh This is so frustrating!
Many factors go into the mpg. Optimum tire pressure, weather conditions, payload, terrain, altitude and most importantly, your driving style. If you want the optimum mpgs, you have to address them all.
Also note that if you're filling your tank, the gas nozzle will stop at 11.5 gallons. the car hold around 14-14.5 gallons. I always fill up to around 13-13.5. Two more gallons means around 80-100 more miles per tank!
I have a 2020 rap for XSE hybrid what the it's a hybrid what do you mean by hyper miling? Another question I have for you his gas mileage I noticed my gas mileage right now I'll address now is no higher than 32 Per gallon. I know it is Winter in New York but the seams are very large disparity in gas mileage.
Hyper mailing is when you go to every extreme to maximize your fuel efficiency.
As for your second question, there are so many factors to consider when figuring gas mileage that it hard to compare one persons results to another unless you are able to control all the variants. Weather, gas quality. Road quality and conditions, speeds, driving style, tires, altitude, traffic weight are just a few of many factors to be considered.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Is this quite during normal driving ? The new CRV TOURING 2023 is quite based on review
Yes, it is a quiet vehicle. It has road noise on the freeway but to be expected in this tier of vehicle.
How's the inside noise on the highway? Seems to be the biggest complaint.
It’s not bad and what you expect from a RAV4. If that is a big concern, go with the more expensive Lexus version. 👍
One question, cabin noise over 100kmh?
It’s there, it’s still a Toyota and not a Lexus. Is it severe, no. I would describe it as what you would expect in this vehicle. Unfortunately I didn’t think to meter it while I had it. I apologize. if you are driving with the radio on or while having a conversation, it isn’t bad enough to make you go crazy or for you to have to scream to hear each other. But it is there and not silent. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and commenting!
i buy one, but with chip shortages, im not waitin 6-8months
Yep, a long wait would be painful. Perhaps you could find one used?
@@QuickShifts buying used isn’t that good of an idea since the used car prices are so expensive you minus well buy used.
@@sybsygstgstsgysg5330 everything is crazy expensive in the current climate. I think the dealership still has my RAV4 on their lot for sale. 😉👍
Does the ride quality get progressively worse as you put more miles on the vehicle?
All vehicles do as they get wear and tear on them. Suspension parts wear out effectually. Even the premium ones. What you have to watch for is pre-mature wearing. The RAV4 was a gem and held up great.
LMAO he called his son a twiggy toothpick 😂
If the shoe fits. 🤷🏼♂️🤣🤣🤣
Are you getting tired of a noise driving on a freeway for a long trip? Is it really that bad?
It is annoying. I just did a 4 hour trip in a RAV4 hybrid and the three us in the vehicle had to talk loudly to hear each other while driving on the freeway.
@@QuickShifts oh sorry to hear that. Cabin noise is the biggest disappointment with RAV4 for me personally
How is the cabin noise on the highway?
Not terrible but there. Given the price point and that it’s a Toyota and not a Lexus, it’s as one would expect. No complaints.
What’s the major problem you encountered with this car?
My biggest complaint would be the dated infotainment system. Otherwise it was a great car. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have had the same car for 5 weeks now, drove already 5k miles. This is my company car - I didn't spend my own money on it. I cannot find comfortable seating position in this car. I even upgraded the seats for the same as you have on the video. After few hours of constant driving my back aches, my right knee in numb and my neck is so sore, that I simply remove the headrest which i spushing my head forward causing the ache of the neck...And - these "nice" blue stichings on the seat and the backrest - believe me I can feel every single one of them on my butt, together with these strange cavities where this fake leather connects - which makes my PITA even more painful. Other than this small, but very important issue, I love the car.
5:18 in Europe I was told by Toyota guy to come over for the FIRST oil change since new after 15k miles.... I am gald I do not own this car.. poor engine
Wow, wish I could help you but there nothing I can offer you. Comfort is a very individualistic thing, there is not much that can be said. Manufacturers try their best to accommodate most. It’s impossible to catch all. As for the engine, it is a very reliable build. I wouldn’t have many concerns about it.
I wish you luck in finding a solution for your discomfort!
@@QuickShifts Thank you very much for your reply. Have just drove 800 miles over the last 2 days. After 12 hours of getting out of the car I still feel my right knee "pulsing"... I decided today I need to tell my boss to change the car for me. Sorry toyota, as cool as you are - we are simply not meant to be together LOL.
@@kris856 with that type of driving, you are going to struggle in every vehicle. You need to take stretching/circulation breaks for your body every so often when you drive like that.
Best of luck to you on the next vehicle.
That’s what I get with out trying.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
how many miles can go on a full tank?
hard to answer because so many factors impact this.
Does that car have a front camera?
Thanks for watching and commenting! No, this car does not currently have a front facing camera. I do believe in the top model you can get a 360 degree view.
@@QuickShifts Yes and no. There is a camera, but to assist with the adaptive cruise and automatic braking. It also reads speed limit signs and such. You don’t have access to see a feed from it though.
@@NickMcC appreciate the extra info!
How long are these hybrids supposed to last?
The generic answer is for as long as you continue to perform proper maintenance. 😉
But if you are talking about the batteries, they are warranted for 10 years or 150,000 miles. Time and miles will tell.
@@QuickShifts how much do those cost for new ones and install. i hpe they will be cheaper. sense they are selling so many of this god dame things. or will it be worth it by then wirth better tech. will they still make them for this modles
@@2000rayc There will be an aftermarket for it. Manufacturers and suppliers sign into contract to supply parts and components for a certain amount of years post production to protect buyers.
XSE has rougher suspension than XLE or LE
The hybrid has a different suspension then the standard gas car because of the added weight of the hybrid system. Thanks for watching and commenting!
25 USD to fill the tank of an SUV that can drive you 500 miles. No wonder americans are used to not worry about engine sizes or milage. It costs more than 80 USD to fill up the same vehicle where I live. Great car though, looking to buy one myself.
Yikes! I’d switch to a Full EV if that where the case!
Spare wheel is ?
In the rear under the floor mats.
Not sure why they made it so small
RAV4 has always been the smallest suv. The have the Sequoia and Highlander if you want bigger.
I would like to know about dash cam .
I am no expert on Dash Cams.
I did do research before buying it though. It is an Insignia model NS-DCDCHH2 and it is a front and rear facing unit. I have a memory card in it and I loop the video so it is constantly running. It is a nice added security to have but I hope that I never need it. it has worked very well up to this point. We have had it for just over a year.
These new compact SUVs back view from the inside is worst than a truck. Especially with those BIG headrest.
It’s not the worst, but it is nice to have a back up camera for sure. The RAV4 is very maneuverable though and you can avoid many situations that would require having to back up in some cases. Thanks for viewing and commenting! -
25 dollars to fill the tank? You don’t know you’re born mate.we pay double that in Europe.
When I first got my license, gas was $0.67 a gallon. In my lifetime I’ve seen it up around north of $5 a gallon. I’ve been around the old sun a few times. But yes, gas prices in Europe are silly. Heck, they are silly just north of here in Canada. A wise man once told me, when you’re feeling bad for yourself, remember, there is almost always someone worse off then you somewhere. Live a happy and humble life.

@@QuickShifts Very true. I am grateful to be able to drive such a wonderful motor car 🚗, and for all my other advantages in life. Is it coincidence that everyone who is doing videos about the RAV4 seems to be a nice, genuine person? Keep up the good work.
Dude, 1 year 25k miles? Driving Uber?
😉👍
see thats why i cant get leather. im 270 gym guy. and this leather shit never last. im just getting XLE lol
LOL, it’s not real leather if that helps.
@@QuickShifts well shit. LOL do you think this stuff will last long? based on cracks you see now?
Hilarious, complains gas is going up but only pays $25 for 12 gallons. I live in Canada and the same amount of fuel (regular unleaded) would cost me over $60 USD. Gas is cheap as F in the states.
Gas is exceptionally cheep where I live as well. You are right, I am luck as hell to not have the prices many others have. Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you guys find some inflation relief. We could all use it!
Smaller vehicle for cramped parking spaces 😨
I loved this thing for city driving. Tight parking and great maneuvering as well! 👍🏻
@@QuickShifts lol irony
