2024 Toyota Rav4 le is it Better than a XLE :All Specs & Test Drive
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- In this full #review I will explain all the specs of the 2024 #Toyota #Rav4 le or xle then take it for a test drive. The Rav4 gets two engine options, a hybrid or a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder and each trim gets upgrades with options but it still has quirks which will bring me to my pros and cons.

XLE is what LE should be and XLE premium is what XLE should be🤷♂️
I agree
I totally agree with you
Agree
No, base cars are stripped down, that is what customer want. No technology
THAT was a great presentation. Excellent. Definitely helped with my decision. Thanks
Your welcome 👍
I have got XLE premium 2021 hybrid with soft seats and Sunroof.
So far no issues or recalls and I’m happy with it.
Congratulations and thanks for your insight 👍
Currently on the market for a Rav4 Hybrid and I'm siding more with the LE. Call me old school but I personally prefer the manual engine start, seats, and lift gate. Less electronics to worry about failing and not efficient enough to shell out more money for a slow lift. Has automation really made us that lazy where we need a button for everything? lol
Unfortunately the answer for must is Yes 😁👍
Is the lift gate not automatically open? If yes that’s sucks lol
Too much electronics that will will eventually break. The cruise control switch cost 200+ just to replace.
@@repairman99But how often are you using Cruise Control compared to a Push To Start, Seat Control, and Power Liftgate? I’ve seen more ignition, strut rod, and small motor repairs on my early 2000s vehicles than a simple toggle switch I barely use once or twice a year on long trips.
Great choice.Over at Europe i got basic version 2022 rav with my favorite manual transmission.At the time for the same price they were offering one level up trim but I declined.Very happy without the extra technology.
I got my 2020 XLE Premium brand new out the door for 28k. Makes me glad I got it back then.
Congratulations 👍
Great price. In today’s market, it will cost over 40k. I got my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid LE for 35k.
Excellent !
Thank you
I am picking up my RAV 4 XLE, AWD next week. $34, 700 out the door with tax, license, doc fees. Pearl white, sweet.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing 👍
Xle starts at 30… how did you get up to 34?
@@boxinglive4101 they ripped me off
@@boxinglive4101 probably additional add-ons like power lift gate, moon roof, etc.
For 40K I have almost fully loaded cx9
Thank you for the information :) I'm confused about the backing up camera. It comes standard on both?
Yes back up camera is standard
@@HawkeyeRides Thank you
Great review. How's your right leg feel up against the console while driving ?
It wasn’t bad, it is a little hard but you have some room to move around when using cruise control
Cramped driving in all aspects and the roof is two inches too low. bad visibility.
I'm glad I got the LE without the 'steal me' button.
😂 congratulations they are nice vehicles
Can you open the lift gate from inside?
@@mustaphan9121 yes you can
@@HawkeyeRideshow can we open the lift gate from inside on LE ? That's only in higher trims, not even basic XLE has it..need to take convenience package for it right
On the xle you can but not the le, sorry you didn’t say which trim 👍
Great comparison 👍
Thank you
So I have a LE available at my local dealer. This was a great video to see details on the LE. Good job!!
I’ll be honest I was se hybrid girl love the the black rims and gloss grill
It makes the vehicle look sporty
I've done standard trim and I have to say going up just 1 trim level is worth it.
Thanks for sharing your insight
Nice review. My XLE is in transit and I'm picking it up this week!! I dont believe the moonroof is standard; mine doesnt have it.
Congratulations, the XLE premium gets the moonroof 👍
@@HawkeyeRides ahh I see. Would have been a nice option but I didnt need it. The only thing I wish mine had is the LED fog lights under the main headlamp. Kind of bogus that you need to go with XLE premium for that. oh well!
@@degausserrr I agree, I talk about this in the review how they shouldn’t have an xle and xle premium it should be one trim and give options.
You need the XLE Convenience package to get a moonroof.
My xle has one
Does all Rav4 trims have something like old-fashioned parking sensor capability (checking distances and buzzes)? Does rear collision warning cover that capability? It seems that only the top trim (Rav4 Limited) has Park Assist which can apply brake automatically (beyond the old-fashioned parking sensor distance/buzzing capability). I hope someone can answer my questions. Thanks.
You can option the front and rear parking on the XLE trim but most of the features will be on the limited and you will still have to option things like a 360 camera
Toyota specs:

Once adjusted is the LE seats the same comfort level as the XLE? Same padding?
The xle has a couple more adjustments so it can be more comfortable than the le. Padding might feel better in the xle but it is more of the adjustment. The Adventure will be more comfortable because of the softex seating.
If you get the LE and add the allows from xle how much with that cost? I just can't buy a new car for 28000 with plastic wheel covers in 2024
I believe it add a couple grand, I don’t sell vehicles only review them 👍
Have a 2020 xse hybrid. After 4 years i can say.. very fragile windshield almost dangerous. So so brake system. And yea.. noise but its not.too bad. Other than that its awesome
Thanks for sharing
Do these trims have remote start and heated mirrors?
You can option on the le and remote start though the Toyota app
Over all rav 4 is a excellent car and no cvt transmission
That is correct but the Hybrid will have it
@@HawkeyeRides why do they use cvt with rybrid better gas mileage
@@frankhannon8001 this is become more normal for hybrid vehicles
@@frankhannon8001cvts are Terrible for gas mileage why would it make sense to hold an engine at higher rpm instead of up shifting. It goes manual, dct automatic(some are far better than others), torque converter, semi auto, sequential, then at the very bottom cvt. Nissan lost their reputation from that transmission now the rest of the automotive industry is obsessed should be alarming.
@@BaggerFood101CVTs are better for gas mileage.
Is xle preium But fwd good enough? Only cities and highways
The full stickers are in the first few seconds of the video 👍
Nice nice cars
They are 👍
@@HawkeyeRides ooh yes
Is remote start apart of the XLE?
Remote start is now a subscription which you will get one year trail. The xle has it 👍
Enough about the car.. those clouds are awesome
Sunny Florida
Power seats really don't matter. How often do you need to adjust your seat? Me? Never. Charging ports in the back? I don't sit in the back. I'll take the LE.
If you don’t need it go for the le
@@HawkeyeRides Thanks. Good video.
I did not get your point are you saying xle is better to get rather than the hybrid . Also I am budget conscious, would love power seat , push button and moonroof or sunroof?
I was saying the XLE premium is a sweet spot but the xle will work out better than the le if you add features 👍
@@HawkeyeRides ok thanks
I just bought 2024 le got matched mirrors with turn sig in them???
You can add packages, like I explained about the push button start and wheels 👍
Yes 👍🏾 you can get blind spot mirrors added on the LE.
You can’t go wrong with a rav 4 .. I have had 5 rav 4 in the last 12 years with a lease. All of them were outstanding! My plan is in 3 more years my wife Monika will retire. Take about 40 thousand from the 401 K and buy a new 2027 rav 4 xle cash 💰 and we will be set for at least another 10 years!!! I love ❤️ the rav 4
@@frankhannon8001 what was your favorite model? mine was the 2017
My mechanic just today told me to avoid the LXE due to water leak issues, etc…😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Some XLE don't come with sunroof. Same as LE without sunroof.
I’ll go for the basic that’s all we need
Good point 👍
It has better theft protection. You need the key to start the car.
I leased the rav 4 le 2012, 2015, 2018, 2021 xle now the 2024 LE the interest rates are very high so I can’t lease the xLE but I will lease the 2024 Le 1500 down 395 a month for 36 weeks 🎉if I get the xLe 1500 down 495 a month 🎉 going for the 2024 rav 4 LE
That’s awesome congratulations when you get it 👍
How is the 2024 rav4 le drive?
@@mustaphan9121 I explained that in the review
I hate push button start, I wish I could get the XLE and option out of the key fob....
Thanks for your input
What’s wrong with push button start. The key fob can stay in your pocket.
It very easy to steal a car that has push button start@@benztech2262
Pushbutton extends the life of the starter.
@@marajevomanash really?? I thought the key fob extends the life of the starter
Do you know which one is better leaning towards Rav 4 or Subaru Outback?
I like the Outback wilderness the best but the xle gets more features for the price
@@HawkeyeRides thank you for fast respond . I asking about durability and maintenance . I had Toyota all this years
@omoyiwolaoluyemi9729 Toyota will be less for overall ownership including maintenance. They both last a long time but in some forms I have seen the Subaru has oil leaking problem, the power steering can mix and go bad.
@@HawkeyeRides thank you so much I will start shopping for the 2024?rav 4 xle . Do you’ve happen to know what is the fair mkt value for ir . I hope to buy through Costco club here on n the state
@@omoyiwolaoluyemi9729 I would try to get a few grand off if you can the market is starting to turn so shop online and if you are ok go out of state.
Is it worth it to get extended warranty with Rav 4 le hybrid?
I would get it 👍
I have a 2020 disnt get it and still happy with my decision. But if you are ok with the extra 2k .. why not
I just ordered LE awd as a daily driver. They told me 3 to 4 months ETA for delivery
Congrats
Such a long wait.
does the xle get heated mirrors? on the website says it does.
Yes it does
@@HawkeyeRides i just got a 2024 xle, how do you activate it? i don't see a button specifically for it.
@rjtaz when you turn of your defrost it will turn on
@@HawkeyeRides might wana throw that in, in the video. great video overall
How much Is the 2024 rav4 xle awd
Just over 31k
www.toyota.com/rav4/features/mpg_other_price/4442/4448/4530
Thanks very much 🙏
i think the RAV 4 is the best multi purpose vehicle?.
They are good vehicles 👍
I bought the LE because itvstill requires a key. Here in Canada the auto thieft is nuts
Congrats they are nice
how tall are you ?
6’3
Idc about the push to start, I just want the BSM or at least a mirror
Thanks for your input 👍
I need a power seat, I have a XLE
Me too 👍
Parents just bought the le not the xle😭😭😢
I’m sure you guys will love it
Moon roof not standard in xle
It’s either options or features but I like the options so you can still save 👍
I know, after he said that I had to go outside and look at my car that I bought a few days ago. Mine did not have it.
XLE
👍
Waiting on my 2024 le i wanted simple and the less crap there is the happer i am. I dont want to pay for a sun roof you never ever use. Next guy is different
That is some good points
Basic model is the best. AWD and Automatic are pretty much the only important things. Sun Roof, Push Button Start are useless.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea 👍
Buying vehicles is as close as you can get to throwing hard earned money down the drain as you can get. I'm fixing to buy the LE and I'm dreading it 😒
They are nice vehicles though 👍
Toyotas are dependable and last a long time, so if you can get 20 years out of it, you'll break even or make out
its 2024 and its not push to start? big turn off
I would add the push start
It’s not worth paying more money for more Bells and whistles more problems.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea 👍
You’re totally right , buying AWD LE and not drinking the kool-aid like everyone else who likes to spend the banks money
I will take my rav4 over a Honda
They are nice vehicles 👍
@@HawkeyeRides I have the 21 RAV4 im impressed by the gas mileage n it’s my first Toyota it did 38 miles to the gallon when I took it out on the highway
@@abbyhunker3956 that awesome MPG’s specially because these models are non hybrid. Thanks for the owners insight
@@HawkeyeRides no problem 😉
@@abbyhunker3956 yea on highways they go much beyond than specified EPAs.
LE is too basic for my wants. I like my comforts.
That is a good point 👍
@@HawkeyeRides If you like your comforts then go for the top
model trim since price is not important for you
@@earlewright7708 🤣 price is but I also have back and neck problems so comfort is on the top of my list.
I just bought the 2024 XLE hybrid and it's a fraud. Shame on you Toyota. It doesn't t have a power liftgate. Even My 13-year-old Le Camry has it. They want you to pay a bunch just for that. A bad joke.
Sadly when you buy anything beside luxury most of these features you will have to pay extra. Because I do not trust sales people, I always ask for all the features and for them to show me on paper and on the vehicle.
@@HawkeyeRides Did you understand what I wrote? The so many different trims of Toyota Rav4 are a fraud. That is my opinion. Why? I did explain it. I'm not calling the video a fraud.
@@romanc.5074 you did edit the comment after I wrote back so I changed my comment too. The first comment didn’t say anything but the first two sentences and nothing about why. I reply fast to every comment on this channel 👍
@@HawkeyeRides No, I sent it out without knowing it. My bad. I think the amount of trims should be reduced to half.
@@romanc.5074 I agree it makes buying any trim confusing thanks for sharing
I think Toyota is a little pricey.
Every vehicle has went up 👍
It is a lot pricey, just people get lean from banks so they don’t feel it
Honda cost way more. I was torn between Rav4 and CR-V and for the price Toyota won.
