And THIS is why there's huge demand for these. Dealers have long waiting lists. Efficient, reliable, not crazy expensive, spacious. Decent power. AWD. It's the absolute perfect family vehicle.
There’s a fuel tank issue where it only fills up to 25%....A BIG ISSUE that Toyota has no current solution for. And their transmission seems to be having problems too. I know I have one....reliability? Not so much 😫
What most people don't know is that this eCVT is nothing like the CVT used in gasoline cars (which toyota also uses in their other models). Super reliable.
I think it's a perfect all-round vehicle to drive around town, drive to work and it looks great parked in front of your house. I am waiting patiently to get one.
Lyn, The reason you don’t experience the “rubber band” feel like gas version CVT is because the Rav 4 hybrid has a eCVT. eCVT uses planetary gears and electric motors. There is no belt or pulley.
Toyota continues to investigate an issue that can prevent drivers of its top-selling U.S. hybrid, the 2019-2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, from filling their tank up completely. The issue, which was first reported by Automotive News back in December, was identified by a wide range of complaints from various sources-including several logged at NHTSA’s vehicle safety site-alleging that even though the fuel-tank capacity is listed at 14.5 gallons the tank won’t accept more than 9 or 10 gallons. One owner, for instance, reported that while they might be able to add fuel very slowly beyond that point, to avoid the environmental risks of “topping off” they don’t have access to about 200 miles of the vehicle’s 580-mile rated range. All evidence so far-including what Toyota has volunteered-points to an issue potentially related to the shape of the tank, which went to a different, longitudinal saddle design with the RAV4 Hybrid’s 2019 redesign, when it made major efficiency gains to an EPA combined 40 mpg.
I only sat on a new rav4 for a few minutes but not gonna lie. I was amazed at how great the seating position is. It's not low to the ground like my Tacoma. 👍

A lot of car and technology for the price. Safety package as standard is only Toyota and no one else :). The Hybrid is both quit and efficient, Honestly no car beat the RAV4 except the Lexus NX300h.
@@shamingandembrassingdriver2718 I drove V6 rav4s for 13 years. This new Rav4 hybrid is significantly better then the V6. Much stiffer chassis, much improved suspension, quieter, more luxerious interior, way better fuel economy, 2" higher clearance, better offroading, much better looks, on and on. V6 was slightly faster and had better "feel" with regular transmission. That's all I can think of that was better in V6 Rav4s.
None other than John Davis of MotorWeek has called out the problem. In an email to AN, Davis said, “On highway trips, when the gas gauge reads between 1/8-1/4, it will take about 9-9.5 gallons max in a fill-up. At that point the gas gauge reads nearly full, but just barely.”

Please discuss the gas tank issue on the hybrid specifically the fact that it won't completely fill. Completely ridiculous and unacceptable and Toyota is doing nothing about it at all.

My new 19 hybrid was fixed by Toyota in the first year I had my car, took them an hour to fix. They kept me up to date with letters and fixed it as soon as Toyota had made the new parts.

Avoid the hybrid... way too many problems with it... I can't even fill the gas tank completely due to a major problem with evap system - (can only fill 2/3 of tank).
