Thanks for posting your review. We got a 2023 RAV4 Limited Hybrid last week, and it was interesting to compare features. A lot is the same, but some things have been updated to address some of the things you pointed out. It has LED lights all around inside and out now. The TPMS does now monitor individual tires. The side view mirrors are now part of the memory seat configuration. The infotainment system has been updated to include wireless CarPlay. It has the panoramic 360 view with the cameras, and the safety features have been updated to a later version. Otherwise, it's very much the same vehicle and we look forward to having it for many years to come.
Thank you for the comment. Congrats on your purchase, you won’t be disappointed. I’m glad Toyota addressed those minor complaints and improve the product. We have been very happy with our Rav. It really is a strong package that does a lot of stuff really well at that price point. Good luck with your RAV4 for years to come.
I believe you should have no issues as long as you maintain it according to Toyota. Auto manufacturers test their vehicles in both extreme cold and heat conditions. Toyota has been using nickel metal hydride batteries for a long time and are quite reliable. The battery warranty is 10 yrs/150k. One of the most important components to ensure long battery life is not to impede on the battery cooling. There is a battery vent located on the passenger side underneath the rear seat. Never block this area and inspect/clean the battery vent filter and you should be good.
@@automatereviews much appreciate it man, in dubai Tesla's are reporting depleted batteries and other manufacturers are not sending their hybrids because of the heat fear , Toyota is one of few who did but reports yet to come as this is only in 2021 models which needs time to get the report on how it is performing.
@@N0P0int no problem. First of heard of that tbh. I would assume lithium-ion batteries may be trickier in extreme heat vs nickel metal hydride. Don’t know if Toyota in Dubai are using the lithium batteries or not. The RAV4 prime models use lithium batteries.
The screeching from the windows is easy to fix. Get some Q-tips dip them in some rubbing alcohol and clean the side rails that the glass runs along and that should do it.

what about battery, do you think it will hold in hot weather like texas or dubai ?
