The Toyota Group has been deceiving consumers by manipulating quality tests for 35 years. What was the result?
@@jihooncha-vs4om Toyota hybrids are a scam. Do a real gas mileage test at the pump with a pencil and paper and the actual mileage the RAV4 Hybrid is only getting between 28 and 30 miles per gallon.
14:49 the 1 big advantage the RAV4 have over the CRV is that the Toyota has found a way to keep a PHYSICAL spare tire in the vehicle, while the Honda just didn't bother for some reason.
Yeah, that kind of sucks. I’m not really a fan of the CRV or RAV4 regardless though. Too plain and old school for my taste, and the interiors leave much to be desired. Not to mention the exteriors.
It’s literally my hang up right now. The CR-V is better in every way unless you want panoramic roof. You want me to pay $40k for something that doesn’t have a spare tire!?!?
@@johnlocke3481 Would you actually change your own spare tire, or would you just call AAA when it came down to it? Just asking..
Personally I have only had a flat tire once in my 47 years, but that was a long time ago and I did change it. If I were to get one these days, I would just start walking to the nearest place to get drunk. Then everything else would work out in the wash.
What vehicle would you chose? @Ricky-mo6mv
I just purchased one of these in silver (waiting for it to arrive) but if anyone it looking for a new vehicle I strongly encourage you to consider a Toyota. This will be my second Toyota, and the first one has been so amazingly reliable I just could not bring myself to buy anything other than a new Toyota. I also have a 2014 Prius which we are keeping - I just need something a little faster to battle the daily highway grind. People with their speedy vehicles are not patient with those of us that still have under 150 HP.
My Prius is related at 45 MPG and often gets 55 MPG average on my daily commute.
Great review! My wife and I bought a Rav4 hybrid Limited last weekend. Your previous reviews really helped us to decide on which one (there are several!) we liked best. It has more power than expected, smooth ride and awesome mpg. Very pleased with purchase! The magnetic gray metallic is a cool color.
Thanks! And congrats on your new RAV4!
Congrats on the fantastic product! I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
Great reliability, power and compliant. Took this beautiful car 660 miles from Oregon to CA and it was so comfortable. Only spent $94 dollars on fuel and keeping it above half tank every time before refueling. Seats are so comfortable and sports mode took the curvy roads very well. Straight away I used Econo-mode and the CVT didn’t bother me at all.
I have the same exact color except mine is a 2023 with the addition of the technology package, panoramic sunroof, JBL, bodyside moldings and mirror with the camera. I purposely didn't get the crossbars as they contribute to increased wind noise. Currently getting over 40 MPG. Purchased it in September of last year at MSRP. No markup.
As good as Toyotas are, they’re not worth paying thousands over msrp. Here in Dallas, new Corollas and RAV4s are still marked up
Agreed. I’d rather pay markups for superior cars like the Sportage tuscon cx5 cx50 CRV as they’re already better executed to begin with
I wouldn’t pay A DOLLAR over MSRP for ANY new Toyota but I think the MSRP on them is very reasonable
@@CarGeek360 no they’re not. They’re already overpriced just MSRP wise
@@naveenthemachine I'd expect you to say something like this, you hate every Toyota other than the 2018-2024 Camry
@@naveenthemachineThe CX5 is a nice vehicle.
Would absolutely love to have one of these! I currently drive a 2017 Corolla SE and the quality and reliability has been amazing so far thankfully. This gives me enough time for the prices of these to come down more in my price range 😂😂
Oh, the prices won’t be coming down my friend. Trust that.
I test drove this and the CRV hybrid the same day. I found the CRV to be quieter and have a more comfortable ride. It also has adjustable brake regen (Rav4 doesn't).
CRV also got redesigned recently while the RAV4 has been out a while. I love my grandma's 2020 RAV4 Limited Hybrid but if I was in the market for a car in the segment today I'd very likely choose the CRV as it's more updated (though I would miss ventilated seats and I'd expect it to have a 360 camera in the top-trim). Toyota should redesign the RAV4 though, it's sell better than ever if they do it right!
Same here. Therefore I bought the new CRV instead of the new RAV4.
CRV mucho mejor en todo.
The CRV has an oddball decoupled hybrid drive system that is only used by Honda and is known for underperforming its mpg ratings, especially if you get AWD. Just something to keep in mind.
@@CarGeek360I think Toyota is releasing the rav4 re design at the end of the year :).
Reliability and performance is all that matters.
Excellent review!
I bought my 2021 Rav4 Limited FWD made in Japan. After owning it for 3 years. I travel with it on the two months after my purchased. My wife and I travel from the East to the West in 10 states. The mpg on Freeway is 38 mpg, in the city 26-28 mpg depend on the traffics. I still enjoy the car and the performance is above my expectation.
Hi, imperial mpg or usa mpg?
I have a 2021 also. Based on actual records, 105,000 miles averaging 44 mpg overall.
Fantastic review as always!😸
Great review as always. Now that they finally added LED front turn signals on the SE XSE trims (only.. I think)
I would really like them to add full LED lighting to the rear. Adding LED to backup lamps and turn signals
Also. Want to see Toyota bring electric Folding outside mirrors to the RAV lineup
Are all the interior lights now LED?
I wish Toyota would install a cargo area light on the left as well as the right. Needed for sure back there
What is the ground clearance and the turning radius?
I think the decibel levels would be lower if you removed your cam and closed the Sunroof shade
I hate it when the centered monitor screen sticks up too high. It looks like you glue the iPad in there. Toyota should redesign to make it more integrated with the centered console.
I hated it too, the more base models like the LE have a smaller screen
Just got the Hybrid LE model last weekend. Family loves it, and it’s a great car. There’s a reason why they can’t make enough of them. Go buy it.
Thanks for cabin noise test!!! Individually for me it is very important!!!! Next time please do the test with sunroof shade close!!! Because when shade it’s open it’s extra noise!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!
Except for the screen. It needs to be slightly tilted towards the driver to prevent reflection from the sun at certain times of the day.
I just put a deposit down on my xle premium today! When I went and did my test drives this past weekend, I started with the hybrid and then did the gas. my test drive with the hybrid was a good 30-40 minutes on and off highway. Gas model lasted 5 minutes if that, I was sold on the hybrid as soon as I left the lot. the hybrid has a huge improvement off the line
you need to do sound level reading at 75mph as well! Most wind noise increases tremendously from 55 to 75mph
What about the Mazda cx70 hybrid model when are you going to review this new model?
We are in communication with Mazda about when this model will be available for reviews
Thanks!
If i am not wrong the 2023 xse had a full 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster and memory seats. Is that reserved for the limited for 2024?
‘24 XSE need to add a package to get that.
i just got a 2024 hybrid xle. getting 44.2mpg
Lmaoo really? You pushing it off the red lights or what 😂. We’re 700 miles into our hybrid xse and we’re getting 32-33. We drive it like a normal car, we don’t use eco or sport and we accelerate and desacelérate like all ours cars I guess we haven’t driven it how you’re “suppose to” drive a hybrid. Any thoughts
@@LSXPhatali have ‘22 non hybrid with manual transmission. 12k miles so far I average 39.7 mpg and half of those miles are in sport mode cause i like the throttle response and the higher rmps in lower gears. It’s fun
Same, I get anywhere from 42mpg-45mpg. I drive mine daily for gig-work. Amazing car
What are the rearview mirror buttons for? Thank you, good information.
Thanks for the support! They are HomeLink remotes for garage doors
My local dealership is quoting 10k over all the prices you have listed. I wish I could get it for that!
There are 1,277 Toyota dealerships in the United States so make sure you ship around and don't pay a giant markup
I want one! Great review.
Thank you!
Nice video! Ordered one! What do you guys recommend for rust protection on hybrids?
Definitely. Hybrid re-sale value will be good in the future, especially if you keep it in the best condition possible.
wondering this as well
What about offroad ability like dirt roads ?
I got my brand new RAV4 XSE yesterday. 🎊 🎉
Congrats!
Love your reviews!
I need rav4, I will remove the back seats for more cargo so I can put more sacks with potatoes 🥔
Thank you!
Are you nuts!? Get a pickup instead... Sack of potatos...
I hear “Klok” sound from brake satten when vehicle is stopping.
Inflation is out of control... this is a 30k car tops... And these days 30k wont get you a damn corolla
Facts
Average cost of a new car is 46k
Love that rav ,in Australia we pay $57k for AWD xse
I'm struggling between the RAV4 Limited and Audi Q5 Premium Plus. Realize their class is different, but which would you pick based on overall value? Moving from an older Audi Q7.
I assume you have test driven them? As long as you are comfortable moving from an Audi to a Toyota, the RAV4 will definitely be the better value in the long run
It’s 2-3 inches of legroom from perfect. I ended up with a Camry Hybrid instead of a RAV4 Prime because of the head and legroom.
I love my 2021 but am really anxious to see what the redesign will be (2026 i guess?)
Waiting for the redesign next year maybe?
Imma wait for the hammerhead refresh
I love my grandma’s 2020 RAV4 Limited Hybrid AWD, it’s a fantastic vehicle that I’d highly recommend. Hybrid is def the way to go with a new RAV4, it comes standard with AWD too, I wouldn’t want it any other way. The normal RAV4 won’t have the pickup of the hybrid and the Prime (plug-in hybrid) is honestly too expensive for a RAV4 IMO. Price difference between a normal RAV4 with AWD and a hybrid RAV4 is only about a grand and the hybrid is a far better powertrain IMO. My only issues with it are the lack of a power passenger seat and a very slow touchscreen but I can forgive this as it’s fantastic to drive, gets 40MPG, and has reliability by it’s side. I would like it if Toyota redesigned the RAV4 in the near future though as it does feel outdated for 2024. I would probs choose a CR-V Hybrid if I was in the market for something in this segment today but the lack of a 360 camera and ventilated seats is disappointing. The newer Mazda products are also making a solid case for themselves!
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee Limited Hybrid is the correct terminology on the RAV4 but I wouldn't mind if someone said Hybrid Limited by mistake
Isn't it a full change next year? But I think the price will also rise
@@seokho2680 I hope they redesign the RAV, it’s def dated compared to other 2024 cars in the segment
RAV4 Prime is made in Japan. The rest of the RAVs are made in North America. The build quality of Japan is superior. The SE Prime model is 10k more than the standard Hybrid. I'm 70 and I want to travel a lot so I bought the Prime. I have been getting 56mpg with the combination EV/Hybrid. This car will take me to the end of my driving career. Basically the only reason I'll be using the ICE engine is to keep the gas from getting stale. I can jump in my car and use the EV mode everyday, with a charge up costing me 1 buck here in Oregon each time.
@@moorefacts6605 my grandma has a regular hybrid 2020 RAV4 which was made in Japan
Which one would you choose between Limited Hybrid vs XSE Tech Package?
We prefer the design of the XSE
Since 2023 RAV4 already has digital clocks, the ones you have are from the old 2019-2022 version. Only I see that you already have the new 2023+ multimedia.
I hopefully soon, I buy this 2024 RAV4 Hybrid.
Wait for new model 2025
in nz the 4wd rav4 limited is $60000 the honda crv hybrid is $68000 and is only 2wd but very quiet inside
What about the high voltage cable corrosion
That was resolved
We just got this same EXACT RAV4 for. 2024 RAV4 Hybrid, Magnetic Grey. 30mi on it. Got it for $45k
Your website don’t work. I want to shop for car prices and I don’t see a space to put the zip codes
Are you using the main webpage www.carconfections.com/new-car-quotes ? I just checked that page and it seems to be functioning properly now
yeah good luck getting one. Also that infotainment screen looks so out of place. Maybe its just the huge bezels.
When will the RAV4 be hybrid only?
How do all think about and compare rav4hybrid vs Kia Sportage hybrid?
Try them both. I wasn’t impressed with the Kia, but you might like it.
The Sportage is way nicer, upscale and quieter car. The hybrid system doesn't beat Toyota in fuel efficiency, but it doesn't have a noisy eCVT which is a positive. The Tucson is also getting facelifted this year, so it's a better choice than both.
As one of the comments above said, there are many pros and cons. The biggest one is that the RAV4 will be at the Sportage on real world fuel economy but it uses a 6-speed automatic which helps it to be much quieter when accelerating hard
I have been testing and researching both extensively. If you can afford $52k-ish, the Kia plug-in in X-LINE Prestige trim is beautiful and tech loaded. Much prettier, comfortable, and luxurious on the inside. I'm just struggling with the longevity of the Kia. I hear its much better now but Toyota is k own for longevity. Kia also has a way better warrantee. Tough choice.
I was just wondering why this 2024 XSE doesn't have the full Digital Cluster gauge?
I'm in Canada, I got my 2024 Rav4 XSE last October, and its been an awesome ride. It has the full digital cluster guage. I love love love it.
Great gas milage, the car is quiet (reminds me of predator space ship - you cant tell its moving sometimes)
Yea, the price is crazy. I am not sure I would want to change my car anytime soon with the way the industry is going.
Can you install a 360 camera in the honda crv hybrid? Like do any professional shops offer this service ?
The Toyota Rav4 used to be the startup car for your teenage children for high school and college 😳. Now they're priced as the family luxury vehicle. Damn😢
How can piano black be better than Matt blk?. The gloss doesn’t hold up and gets lots of scratches especially in winter climates.
Phev only fellas
If you really want to get the maximum potential out of the RAV4 2024, you need to switch to sport mode, turn off the ESP and use the manual transmission. For a very long time, I was troubled by the fact that this model drives and starts very clumsily for its performance. But after experimenting for a while, I'm quite enjoying the drive, I know that in a year/two I'll trade the car for another one... But the RAV4 definitely set some standards and brought me a lot of smiles from the surprise of what an SUV can handle.
I envy the American prices as I live north of the border. In Canada, the Rav4 Hybrid is $46,000, + the tech package is another $2000. Overall I always enjoy your videos.
Can't get one here in Canada within a reasonable wait time! Ordered a Prime and can expect up to 2 years wait!😮
That’s insane
I ordered XSE as reviewed. 4 months and at msrp.
Ordered xle premium hybrid and wait time is also the same 😢
That’s what I paid for our 24 Subaru Outback Touring XT with several accessories 😳
Bought my wife a new 2018 RAV XLE Hybrid. Although it is the last generation it is still an absolutely "perfect" vehicle. We even got a discount but that was before COVID. My advice to everyone is that if you can't afford a new one, shop for a lower mileage used RAV4 hybrid. They are out there. May take some work. Even if it is a previous generation like mine you can't go wrong as these vehicles can last hundreds of thousands of miles with proper maintenance.
What is more fun to drive? Mazda CX50 or Rav4 (considering top trims)?
Cx50 by far. In fact literally any other cuv is more fun to drive. CX5 cx50 tuscon Sportage crv
Mazda.
Mazda is best known for their fun driving. CX-50 is way better than the RAV4 when it comes to driving.
@@macattack251 the cx30 is also better looking, much nicer better quality roomier faster etc
My Maytag washing machine is more fun to drive than any Rav4
What about the Woodland?
I would go for a Woodland if I wanted something more affordable but the Limited is the way to go for those willing to spend the money for it bc of the creature comforts
@@CarGeek360✅💯
Mason what kind of Hollister jeans are they? Light wash or medium wash?
Nice video!! What is the warranty for the hybrid battery?
8 years/100,000 miles. Thanks!
Good review, except on the XSE, the front passenger seat is manual. A huge fail from Toyota on this. The front passenger seat, sits oddly high and can not be adjusted lower.
Huawei Aito M9, BYD YangWang U8, BYD Leopard5. Chinese Hybrid SUV, One generation ahead !
Everyone keeps saying the RAV4's have more road noise than comparable vehicles. Other than just looking at decibels, how does it sound to you guys with the test drives? Is that road noise that much more than similar compact SUVs?
You can hear the engine during acceleration for sure.
I had a 2019 RAV 4 and I agree. It was one reason I traded it back. I enjoyed everything else but I believe for the price, I deserve a more quiet cabin.
It's a baby Grand Highlander !
I'd change the page to just "new cars" to simplify the url.
This trim and color looks great, though I'm holding out for a refresh. Never liked the Fisher Price interior.
what's the color of this car? Balck or Grey? i find difficulties in color diffrence. But it looks grrat color.
Magnetic Gray
higher upfront cost but higher resale value too
So it evens out to nothing and you end up paying for a vehicle that is lacking in every aspect except for the powertrain.
my 2021 rav4 hybrid XLE is 67 decibles on 55mph :( Made in USA 2xxx VIN if that matters
Cameraman, can you please don't zoom in and out on a steady scene when he is explaining things? It's not only pointless but also quite disreacting.
Thanks for the feedback. Can you provide a timestamp?
agreed....really irritating. what the hell is the purpose of doing that? cameraman should be fired.
I don't want to pay top dollar for a car that's 'limited' but that's just me.
As of early April, you only need 11 thousand donuts to get the half a million mark... 👏
Counting them down!!🎉
Toyota RAV4Hybrid very good car.
Lincoln nautilus review now!
We reviewed one a couple weeks ago 👍
@@CarConfections you drove it?
Like this rav4 suv got good fuel economy
This car is in need of a refresh. Cabin and engine are just so noisy even on the streets. Materials are cheap and when I cranked the volume, speaker frame would rattle the plastic.
Toyota has embarrassing interiors. I was embarrassed just sitting in a RAV4 that was parked on the dealer lot. Hopped right out and couldn’t believe how cheap it was. Never really experienced anything like it for the price one pays.
When dealers stop selling them for 5000-7000 over sticker I would consider it.
Do these come with remote start? I'm looking for a SUV that has it.
Toyota includes it for a trial period before it becomes part of a subscription service package
You can remote start with the key fob by clicking the lock button 3 times and holding on the 3rd click. Pretty cool feature I recently learned about. And yeah the trial ends after 1 year for remote start via the app
Remote start is on the app. As far as I know it’s completely free
I don’t like the touch screen. Looks too big, intrusive and like it’s been stuck on top of the dash as an afterthought. Toyota could do better.
This car has aged very well but time for a new update now, competition has caught up and overtaken
Which competition overtaken? Rav4 still the highest selling car in the north america.
@@Gopinathk17 easy. Crv Tuscon sportage cx5 cx50 rogue
😍
True, it’s a fantastic product but def getting dated
@@naveenthemachine what easy? Rav4 is outselling all those cars you mentioned.
I just locked in a quote for an XSE Hybrid with tech package and a bunch of goofy dealer add ons ffor $48800 out the door. Right at MSRP plus tax and license. Im still really considering the Kia Sportage plug in X-LINE Prestige. The Kia at the tiptop trim is simply gorgeous and blows away the RAV4's interior by a mile. I just cant quite convince myself the long term quality is there.
Tesla Y dual motor minus tax rebate is 42k. Test it you'll see how much nicer it is.
lol!!!!😅 I love ur doughnuts in there😘
The car is practically the same as the previous Rav4 gen 5 models. I purchased a late 2019 limited trim model for nearly 50% less money than a 2024 model.
Build quality is excellent.
toyotas are the best
The price is way too high. Omg
I thought the blue emblem was going away?
It has been eliminated on all of their newest models when they get redesigned
@@CarConfections Ahh ok. Thanks.
How much are they saving by not putting in led bulbs -ridiculous
Everyone is doing that, and it is ridiculous.
Colour name?
Magnetic Gray!
that one big ugly screen in the middle...
Awful
It’s very nice, I don’t like the CVT 😂
That CVT is good.
@@Brian_Eugene_LeeToyota ECVTs are more reliable than all those CVTs. Toyota CVT is not exactly same as traditional CVT, it's a different design.
The power split device have inside planetary gears. No belts , no cones , very little moving parts. Is named E CVT because it makes variable transmission based on variable speed of one electric motor. So no worry about transmission. Is more reliable than a manual or classic automatic transmission because no clutches or friction parts. Use normal transmission oil changed at 90-120 k km. Is one of the best and extremely efficient transmission keeping engine in the most efficient speed and power position point.
@@cristiansoricut9701 Does this E CVT from toyota make the same annoying noise with rubber band effect like the CVT's generally do?
The Toyota RAV4 is too expensive. I'm not getting that
Where do you live?
@@Gopinathk17 it's too small
@@tahran5782 first you said expensive and now small 😀
@@Gopinathk17I think she meant that it’s a small expensive SUV
There is only one way to find out the true gas mileage. Write down the miles when you fill up and drive the car 100 miles and then fill up again and divide the miles driven by the gallons used while driving. In eco mode I think that you will find that the RAV4 Hybrid gets between 28 and 30 miles per gallon. The real miles per gallon is totally different than what the read out says it’s getting. Toyota should be held responsible for this scam.
Wife’s 2024 RAV4 LE says 44.3. Filling up and recording in Fuelly says 44. Now my Camry Hydrid SE is a little dishonest because it is supposed to get 47 on the highway. When entering into Fuelly hI reach 51…shame on you Toyota.
@@christopherjarvis1815 I don’t understand why Toyota doesn’t just tell the truth about the real mileage. Our 2024 RAV4 gets no better than 33 mpg.
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq Try the pulse and glide method if you own a hybrid. Before using it I had thought I wasted my money. It basically consists of accelerating to speed letting up and gently pressing the pedal again. It puts the car in and seems to keep the car in electric drive as much as possible. Friends say using the same methods have gotten their regular gasoline rav4’s to get beyond the sticker mpg. Taking it easy my car gets at least the EPA estimate if I drive like a maniac I can get it to go much lower. Driving “spirited” on the way back from an out of town trip I got 46 mpg in my Camry Hybrid.
@@christopherjarvis1815 yes our RAV4 is a hybrid. I will absolutely try this. I am guessing using the cruise control on the highway it could work if a person went a little faster than the speed limit before letting off.
I’m sorry but it is absolutely outrageous they are charging as much as $50,000 for a Toyota RAV4!! Not only is Toyota not as reliable as they were 10+ years ago, but their build quality has declined significantly.
Agreed. Yet all the fan girls will attack you with pitchforks 😆
@@naveenthemachineExactly what I was thinking!
It’s their NA made Toyotas that have pretty poor build quality. The one out of Japan like the crown and venza are still really good.
@@sentryion3106 well the rav4 prime and bz4x and lx600 are made in Japan. Yet the rav4 prime has the cablegate corrosion, the wheels fall off in the bz4x and the lx600 was recalled for transmission issues like the tundra and sequoia
On paper, RAV4 can’t compete these days. But people do not buy this based on “paper” and that along you can’t argue with people lol
Why in Sweden we have another names XSE SE, We have Excutive/ Style/ Active ?
theres no way any honda is quieter ive been in plenty hondas and they sound so loud and hallow i hatee it you can hear everything bump every rock 20:53
