Great review! I've had my '19 XSE hybrid for about 2 months now and really like it. We test drove a Limited first, and it does ride slightly smoother than the sportier XSE, but the 2-tone paint (Blizzard Pearl with the black top) and black rims sold us on the XSE. There's plenty of power under the hood and the e-CVT transmission is smooth and seamless. I commute 50 miles each way to work with both city driving and interstate, and I get 41 mpg in Sport mode, 42 mpg in Normal mode, and 43 mpg in Eco mode. I drive pretty sane, only gunning it when I have to, and I'm very happy with the fuel economy. The car is comfortable for 4 full sized adults and I have zero complaints about the ride and handling. I haven't noticed any more wind noise than with other newer cars, IMO they're all a bit noisier than I prefer (wind and tire noise). This goes for higher end cars as well, like Beemers and Lexus, but that's just my opinion. The RAV4 is expensive, but considering all the safety features that come standard on it and Toyota's reputation for reliability, I think it's worth the money.

I have a Rav4 XLE Hybrid. Couple of things I have issues with. I'm only getting about 34.5 mpg with fairly careful driving speeds. Am I doing something wrong? Also, none of you reviewers comment on the lack of illumination of the overhead and door buttons. If you need to turn on the interior light at night, good luck. I start blindly pushing buttons and usually manage to open the moon roof which is not pleasant in the rain and cold.Or, as you get in you try to unlock the passenger door for someone else and---Where's the button??. You wind up lowering the window or locking everything before finding the correct button. Why in the world didn't they illuminate these buttons? For $29.000 you'd think they could put in some glow in the dark buttons. In the meantime, your wife is standing out in the cold and rain saying, "Open the damn door!" I haven't isolated the cause yet by taking out everything that could be rattling, but I think there is a rattle inside the dash while driving on gravel roads.

How does the JBL system in this car compare with the Bose system in the CX-5? Is one noticeable better than the other?
@TheTopher5 жыл бұрын
The JBL is good. Never been too impressed with Bose’s in-car systems. I’d prefer the JBL honestly 👍

Like your videos. Would like to see you review the Rav4 prime
@Lucky8s5 жыл бұрын
If anyone's in Canada, the RAV4 Hybrid LE is honestly a great value. It comes with all the safety equipment, including BSM and RCTA, and has heated seats for those chilly months. Side note. I know automakers are putting safety equipment standard for that IIHS+ award and consumer demand, but damn, I know how to drive. Don't care for any of it. Just give me a $2,000+ savings.

THANK YOU for this video! What an awesome review! You explained everything clearly and hit on pretty much everything I was curious of. One thing I didn’t see was the sunroof. Does yours have it? I’m thinking about the pano ideally (if I can find one)

Would you consider getting a (used) Lexus NX instead of the RAV4?
@Gforce0005 жыл бұрын
Tej Singh The lexus NX is still better. More luxury cabin. The turbo engine and transmission are way more refined. But the new hybrid rav4 chassis give you more comfortable ride

Have you had any experience with the gas tank not filling up all the way?
@stacyfalcone6925 жыл бұрын
We just filled ours up two days ago for the first time. It did not fill all the way up. Another person on a different review said that it happened once and then they were ok. If on my next fill up I have the same issue, I'm definitely going to the dealer. It seems to be a common problem I'm seeing.

@@stacyfalcone692 toyota has acknowledged that there is an issue and is working to resolve it. i haven't run into the problem personally but some forum pos ts say that you can force those extra couple of gallons into the tank even if the pump thinks the tank is full.

Yuanmei I test drive the Acura RDX ASpec- loved the sound system in that and I’d say the RAV4’s JBL. System is darn near comparable. I went with the RAV4 Hybrid Ltd in the end and don’t regret it at all 👍

I was choosing between RAV4 hybrid limited and Tesla Model 3. both at same price range, but finally i chose Tesla , electricity is cheaper, better ADAS and autopilot etc..
