    Upgraded from 2022 F Sport to 2024 Ultra Luxury, the only thing I do not like is the 2022 drivers display screen can be split with navigation and music, the 2024 cannot share 2 functions. The new seat extension on the 2024 is nice for I am taller

      Toyota needs to stop calling their transmissions in their hybrids a cvt cause its any but a cvt style transmission. They use electric motors in their transmissions they don't use any clutches or belts. Genius system with pretty much nothing to go wrong.
