2023 RAV4 Prime Tech and Infotainment Tour! SWEET 360 Cameras!

After spending a week in a brand new 2023 RAV4 Prime XSE, and I literally mean BRAND New, (huge thanks @toyotausa), I’ve come to understand why this is such a hot commodity in the crossover SUV segment and further solidifies my love for PHEVs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏁 @Alllcarnews Spec Sheet:
2.5L n/a Inline-4 + Front & rear electric motors
302HP & 288 lb-ft of torque Combined
42 miles of EV range
18.1-kWh battery pack
0-60 in 5.4sec
CVT 🏁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Highs:
-Refined PHEV powertrain offers plenty of range, quick Level 2 charging times, and lots of powertrain customizability.
-Backed by an impressive 10 year/150k mile battery system warranty.
-General materials, ride quality, and utility are more than competent for daily use & battery doesn’t eat into cargo space.
Lows:
-You can tell features are held back for Lexus models, specifically the sister NX450+ PHEV with the same powertrain.
-The digital cluster has a very annoying glare and is cluttered at times, infotainment screen isn’t the highest quality.
-WAY too many safety system beeps and alerts.
-Can get expensive in higher trims, this is around $51k (*$42k starting for Prime).

ACN EXTRA: Solid 8/10 and a great long term buy from Toyota! Though the competition is coming in fierce. I would still take this over a BZ4X or Solterra.

I have the Prime XSE but no camera button and I don't know how (if) there's a heads up display like you demo'd. I also wish the blind spot and front end collision had audible alerts like my Kia Soul did.

[@shahvatsal2391986]

360 cam is best feature in new 2023 rav4.

[@AndrzejZalewskiYT]

can you set speedometer to be on the left hand side?

[@delsmontgomery]

I needed this video so badly because no one explained the tech in detail for this car - thank you!!!!

[@Allcarnews]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@delsmontgomery]

@@Allcarnews also i have 1 more question! when you are backing up the car, and let's say there's a car behind you coming from the left and/or right, but they are 2 feet away - does the rav4 beep or give you a warning in the camera? I know the lexus does that on the infotainment screen, but not sure if the toyota has that safety feature

[@Allcarnews]

@@delsmontgomery Yes it does!

[@delsmontgomery]

@@Allcarnews nice, thank you!

[@aadishetty007]

The rav4 needed this new tech, the old infotainment was decent but the camera quality wasn’t good. Toyotas new system is honestly the best now and I love the camera system

[@Allcarnews]

Cameras are impressive indeed.

[@CumBrianFries]

Not going over the "AC 120V" button is a huge oversight, that feature is new in the 2023 model.

[@Allcarnews]

^ well here it is

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

Tomorrow I’ve will receive mine after one and half year waiting 😅

[@Allcarnews]

Congrats!

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

@@Allcarnewsthanks and great review

[@whatdeflip]

Does the camera turn on while lane switching, and or does it beep or indicate incoming cars and warns on the lane switch?

[@Allcarnews]

Not for lane switching no

[@jenwang7187]

could we run the camera while driving even more than certain miles per hour or it's in low mileage? thank you.

[@Allcarnews]

Only at low speeds

[@Wannabecrafting247]

Did I get ripped off? One of my deal breakers was that I NEEDED a 360 view. I don’t have that button on my car!

[@saligaurav]

Can you see google map on driver screen ?

[@BucoBucolini]

Does this one have a Premium package? I thought the 360 camera comes only with the Premium package.

[@Allcarnews]

Yes

[@francescos6101]

ok good video but , one thing i do not understand , rav4 is for senior man , also because is expensive , my rav example is more than 62k euro , and you are soo young !! explain me , are you really fan boy of rav4 ? in that case , chapeau !

[@JKJK]

Is there wireless Android Auto?

[@williem8510]

yes

[@JKJK]

Damm, Cars delivered to my.country (Czechia) are only with wired Android Auto :-(

[@wor.g]

so i have a new 2024 RAV4 Prime and i cant for the life of me find the camera views you showed @3:52 it only shows the egg view and the 360

[@wor.g]

perhaps its just in Drive?

[@Allcarnews]

You have to be moving

[@cliksmart]

What do you do with the 2 inches left of the screen? Is it Just to make it look bigger than the actual display area? They consider consumers to be dumb and prone to errors and malfunction. Toyota=Small
