The biggest problem with this vehicle is you can't find one!

I remember when everyone thought the Ford Edsel was super ugly!!

The modern day Camry (in terms of popularity)! I understand the appeal, its the perfect mass market car. I’ve seen many around here in The Netherlands as well since PHEVs are so popular. I just can’t believe during Covid, the markups on these were so high in America…I remember seeing these listed for 60-70k, 🤯

Love my 2024 Rav 4 prime!!! EV mode charges to 50, sometimes 51 miles. I have gotten about 45 miles in EV only mode with it in city driving mainly. Main issue I have with it is volume control pause issue when using android auto. Definitely they need to fix that!!! Otherwise, super comfortable for me on long road trips and a very stable, quiet, phenomenal car!!!

I have one and in the same color. I absolutely love it!

5th gen RAV4 looks good, wonder why this setup ain’t available on the new 4Runner hybrid.

Bruh, thats my twin. Looking for a hardtop soon. Built motor just finishing up breaking in fully. About to pull it and check the bearings and make an adjustment to the windage tray. Oh, and put the 2867 turbo and new full 3" exhaust and thick boi intercooler all in as well. If you get annoyed with the gear ratio in the rear end, there is a company in the UK that sells brand new ring and pinions with a 3.63 ratio so youd able to drive it on the freeway without worrying about when you changed the oil last. Yous guys are going to enjoy the car, if you have any questions let me know. I also have a ton of spare parts so if you are in need of anything engine wise I probably have it sitting in the shed.

Fantastic review! I am trying to help my sister get into one but YIKES they cost a lot 😂 On a separate note, great article on Jamie Chadwick! I saw it on Motorsport and it was really a great read.

LC500 is what the supra should have been.

The seat comment is the sole reason I went with the limited hybrid (2024). The seats are FAR better and the passenger side is power/height adjustable as well.

This is the grocery getter for people who are retired and have money.

I got rid of my 2021 RAV4 hybrid for the same reason. Not good on long trips!! I got my maverick hybrid and I can honestly say it’s better all around. Love the MPG, practical, comfortable, fun, great daily, and great on long trips.

Ecvt transmissions should just be known as “Planetary” or “Planetary Gear” transmission. No negative connotation with cvt

Another great review!!! I stand behind the “How many Alanis’s test” as the best unit of measurement for car space. I figure my RDX is about 2.5 Alanis also.

Great video! Can you do more real world test of plug in hybrids?

I believe her,hips don't lie!

It can't be long until someone phones the authorities saying there's someone locking women in the trunks of motorcars in deserted parking lots. :D

This was a brilliant review (as usual). This is exactly what the average American needs for everyday driver duties. If i could afford one, it's exactly what I need

AK - LOVE the review! One big area no one really talks about is stop-and-go traffic. I wish the auto industry would measure engine idle time. There is MAJOR gas savings to be had in a hybrid.

Braking will never be a net benefit to range because theres some energy lost to heat. Regenerative braking only captures a fraction of the energy lost to breaking, so you'll always get a better range if you continuously moving at a steady pace.

Cool review. Why the ‘Wedding March’ song?

Toyota’s supersonic red is such a great color, we have an older Barcelona red Prius in our family and the red is so dull in comparison. The only red I prefer to supersonic is Mazda’s soul red metallic, but I’ve heard that it is pretty prone to chips and scratches :( Great job as always!

Excellent video as always Alanis! I actually like the RAV-4 it came such a long way! The idea of a plug-in hybrid sounds very interesting! It’s a Toyota, so you can’t go wrong! Probably one of the few SUV’s I’d drive, you’ve given me something to think about! Again, excellent review Alanis!

I don't think that's what people want when they think "inflation proof" haha

Another banger of a video! That EV test was great and the animations/background history in the beginning really added to the experience. I enjoy this format but will admit I personally prefer the full in depth review one (although I will say the amount of detail you go into even with the 5 likes/1 dislike is really well done). Keep up the good work!

The background music at the beginning had me laughing😂

If you listen carefully you can hear Ferrari's private investigators angrily scratching Alanis's name onto the blacklist

Good afternoon Alanis! I found the squeal you gave when the tailgate was going down very hilarious! 😂

Great review. Definitely appreciate the criticism of the seat comfort for long drives. I’m currently looking for something to replace my daily that is very comfortable for long road trips. What car or manufacturer makes cars with the most comfortable seats? I’d definitely like to see a video where you go over your best roadtrip picks

I was just thinking I really miss your reviews on Doug's channel, stumbled on to this, glad you are doing your own thing.

Great review Alanis !!!!

I bet there’s no “prime” roller coaster at six flags Also, someone asked on a Cars & Bids post where Alanis went. Still waiting for the what really happened “The True Story of…” video

One of the rare times a car is super common but holds its value so well.

You are so correct about the seats. I drive one for the last 5 years, and the only complain I have, are the seats. I have the lumbar adjustment, it still doesn’t help.

I drove the USA east coast in a rental RAV 1,5 years ago. The seat was comfy for me. The only thing I didn't like was the steering. It was too unconnected and American for my taste

435,000 vehicles in one country is nearly the same number of Kia Telurides just recalled in the US for fire danger.

I'm not an SUV person but I got to watch any review you do granddaughter. Super job (-;

Careful when posting videos in your house Alanis.

I am currently researching the 2024 LC500 coupe. Because they are so rare. I will factory order the white exterior with caramel interior. One dealership informed me, it would take 6-8 months to deliver. It seems Lexus is shipping more convertibles than coupes to America.

We bought the same car (in white) last fall, to replace my wife's daily driver. I love driving it- the technology/comfort/cargo/etc makes it such a nice car to live with. I must have the seat dialed in for me (5'11") as we regularly do a 2.5-3hr drive and i've never noticed the seats being uncomfortable. My only complaints, aside from the price, is that the passenger seat always feels a bit higher than it should be, and I wish the blind spot monitors would beep if you hit the turn signal with a car in your blindspot. It hasn't been an issue, but my ND miata has this and our previous mazda 3 had this, so i've become accustomed to it. Plus the car beeps for a million other reasons, it seems like the blind spot beep would be a no-brainer.

The outro sounds like an excellent deal: You continue to give us excellent reviews, and we continue to watch and like them 😀
