2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE - POV Drive (4K | 60FPS)

[@LilNrthStar]

Pre-ordering an XLE Hybrid on Thursday and this is the closest I'm getting to a test drive until it arrives. Thank you!

[@lbcraiders1956]

Same here honey

[@michaelfulton1080]

How did it go

[@traolin5877]

Do you regret not test driving or is it what you were expecting?

[@kalengkong]

love the sound of turning signal. and love it when you didnt slam the gas, this is exactly how i drive too. the Hybrid is super quiet when you drive 'normal'

[@sibanought]

Thank you. I appreciated that you mostly drove with moderate acceleration in electric mode, rather than focusing on showing what the petrol engine sounds like when you put your foot to the floor. You understand how a hybrid is meant to be driven, and gave as much demonstration of the sound of the petrol engine and of the acceleration as was nessecary. One suggestion; if you can put a speedometer readout on the video, it would be helpful to be able to see your speed. I'm in New Zealand, and ordered a GXL hybrid a month ago - the trim names are different here; GXL is mid spec, one down from the Limited. Personally, I prefer to not have leather, a moonroof, or a lift tailgate. The estimated wait time is 6 months, which is frustrating, but for my requirements and preference, it's (almost) perfect, and none of the alternatives come even close - and I plan on keeping it for a long time, so worth waiting for. 👍

Curious, since 6 months have passed since your comment, you probably got it by now. How’s it like? I also have to wait 6 months till mine arrives :/

@@dolaudz3285 Since more than 6 months have passed from your comment, it would be suspected that you have it by now as well. Are you liking it?

[@dolaudz3285]

@@brq44 your suspicion is correct :) It’s a very good car, and I do like it. But it’s not without flaws. 1. Wind noise is kind of high in highway speeds. Coming from a Sedan, I was expecting this. 2. The gear in itself is amazing. You get torque with the electric motor at any speed no matter what. Its shifting is so smooth I almost can’t tell when it happens. The downside with this, is that if you push it (not too hard, I might add), you get a consistent noise from the engine which isn’t very pleasing. These two things are mostly what bother me. Aside from that, I am very happy with it. Also get ~5.3L/100 fuel consumption, which is nice.

I'm getting mine (hopefully) next week! Same trim. Watching this drive and how quiet everything is, while my current car's splash plate makes so much racket, makes me extremely excited. It looks like such a smooth ride!

[@awesomeashton]

Love how you reviewed a middle trim which is like the most rare trim people review.

Thanks for the video.

[@piotrp5136]

Thanks man, really cool video. I hope this will be my next car.

[@Vincent-gn3xh]

I love the video and style you make it in.great dtuff

[@timbarden2782]

Awesome video. Did you have a window or moonroof open while driving? Sounds like there's a lot of wind noise. How quiet is the cabin? Thanks again!

[@TheLanard]

Every video of this RAV4 Hybrid I've watched had the same amount of wind and road noise. And several reviewers (CR, Edmunds, etc...) has commented on it allowing more wind/road noise than its competitors. However, they've all stated it's quieter than the non-hybrid RAV4. If you can, rent one for a week to judge for yourself.

[@tomtalker2000]

Nice SUV. However, i do not care for the loud THUNK every time you are at a stop. And then hit the pedal. I'm sure it's the battery or engine engaging. But i wish Toyota would find a way too quiet that one issue. Otherwise pretty good review of a hybrid.

[@Okikor1]

Can you do a road test for the 2022 Tav4 hybrid limited? Is it smoother than the 2021 Highlander?

[@traolin5877]

6:15 this exit needs a redesign. Cutting it real close when getting out 19:25 oof, that wind noise during the acceleration parts. Was the mic on your camera just super sensitive or are you driving with a window open?

[@steved8286]

Which dashcam do you have on the RAV4?

[@minxypink00]

the noise is not that bad.....not sure what everyone is complaining about - just turn on the radio :)

[@Gopinathk17]

It's noisy and buzzy when you race but then once you are up to speed it won't be too much..but yeah, people feel it's noisy..for me personally I got used to it. But it's very quite while driving in EV mode.

[@patriciocanete]

es idea mia o se escucha el pavimento en carretera, parece que no tiene muy buena asilación se escucha hasta cuando pasan los vehiclos en sentido contrario, que puedes decir al aislamiento

[@Heyericahey]

I want this Truck so bad 😩🙏🏽

[@divinenzoko7661]

It an suv

[@Alisters_Adventures]

It’s a horrible car be glad you didn’t waste money on it

[@k95channel]

@@Alisters_Adventures It's a great SUV WTF are you talking about, extremely reliable and handles well on snow/dirt roads.

[@sunitjoshi3573]

I like the black color…guess that’s what it is.

[@viviandeju6884]

It's a Blueprint exterior. I can see the blue on the mirrors

[@toronado455]

@@viviandeju6884 I think the car is black.

[@MideaMusic]

Love everything about this cars except of that panel behind the mirror. Really don't like it as not only it doesn't look good, but also personally for me it is a distraction and is obscuring the view. Wouldn't want to see anything in front of me, but the mirror. Also, don't like the fact the the mirror is so low, as it feels right in the face.

[@romeolopez757]

No power lift gate without using button,no panoramic sunroof,no wireless for apple/android…no ventilated front seats…no leather seats…with its price it should be included…please correct me if I’m wrong…thanks

[@flyingbee8188]

The silent movie.

[@Vincent-gn3xh]

Haha I’m from PA too! Great stuff

[@SamTheodore64]

I got the point after a few minutes; the video is unnecessarily long. Great car, probably little excitement driving it as everything is so under button-down control. To sum up: a car I need to own.

[@hb692]

you should talk and add your comments in to the video.

[@Alisters_Adventures]

It’s a POV drive video not a car review video, POV drive means it’s simulating what it is like if you were driving the car
