One of the better reviews I’ve seen. Great job! Got my 22 Rav in November last year here in Australia and so far so good. We sadly don’t get the Prime.

[@tracksandtrees]

Congrats!! Sorry you don’t have the Prime over there😭 we get like 20-30 a year so it’s pretty sparse. But you’re in Australia so that makes up for it😅 sunshine and waves for days ☀️ 🌊

[@austin.2716]

@@tracksandtrees Not sure how many vehicles we get here but I do know that wait times for Rav4 hybrids are up to 2 years in some places. You can get a petrol Rav4 in about 6-12 months tho which is better but not by much. I was lucky enough to get my hybrid Rav4 in 3 weeks (sounds insane I know but I’m not kidding). And yes haha, great weather here. Wishing you all the best for the future and will definitely be watching every video from now on!

[@GregE9239]

Great review! I spoke with my local Toyota dealer in Tokyo (as i live here) and Toyota will be increasing the number of cars for the domestic market in Japan, effectively reducing the number produced for the overseas markets, given problems with the supply chain and shortage of semiconducters; assume this is going to mean even longer wait times in your part of the world - crazy i know. I was really fortunate to be able to order a RAV4 Prime in Tokyo two weeks ago (same trim as the one in the clip; magnetic grey metallic two tone with an April '23 delivery date); hopefully these supply chain/parts issues are sorted out and they can ramp production up again!

[@tracksandtrees]

If you have an inside scoop with them tell them to send them to us! Haha we would all be very thankful 😁 we typically get about 30 a year, but everyone wants one - including myself! Congratulations on your future Rav4 Prime! And thanks for watching

Picking up this exact model configuration in a couple of weeks. Bought the 22 Hybrid Limited for the wife, but finally found an XSE Prime Premium available. Only $2.5k over sticker. Was so upset that I passed up one that I ordered in Summer 2021. Took 5 months to come so I bought my first Tesla used and haven’t turned back. But the wife really wanted this Prime. Glad they updated the infotainment. The back-up and top down camera looks much better than our 2022. And the 12 inch center stack is nice.

4-5 years wait list. US dealers wanted super premium prices on this Prime, so I ended up with my first non-Toyota, a Tesla Model Y. Toyota needs to make these at volume or lose their market share.

[@jessebooth2371]

Same. Have an hybrid rav4 xse and was going to get a prime but not paying crazy mark up and waiting when I can get a model y

[@tracksandtrees]

That’s too bad! We haven’t been marking them up at our store to keep local clients happy as that is valued higher than making a few more dollars while this situation is going on with shortages. I sure hope Toyota can find a way to produce more as we would all much appreciate it! I’m sure it isn’t easy.

[@ambivertical]

In thankful I walked ina dealer last week and got on reserve with wait being 1 month. Xse Prime Premium Package. Blessed so far. Hoping the transaction pulls through over all. But paying MSRP

[@DavidElCid300]

I'm in the same situation because of a rear-end collision, so I need something now. I am considering the Model Y. How do you like your Model Y so far?

[@ag4eng]

@@DavidElCid300 Tesla Y has its own pros and cons, but overall the experience is better than Toyota/Lexus. It depends how far you plan to drive and if you can charge level 2 at home. The acceleration is great and very nimble. Electronics and app work smooth. Lexus app doesn’t even show my car and takes forever to load. After a lifetime of owning Toyota/Lexus and having a new 2023 Lexus, I would buy Tesla Y hands down.

[@dennislee5163]

Great review! I will be picking up mine next month and wonder how many keys does it come with.....thank you.

[@tracksandtrees]

It’s been pretty hit and miss what vehicles are coming with one key because of the chip shortage - but if it does come with one key, Toyota has said the second key will be delivered to your dealership once stock is available again (no time frames - some clients here have been waiting about 5 months with no ETA yet). So I’m not sure what your Prime will come with. I hope two! 🤞

[@MRP78]

I almost choked on my pork chop when I heard you say "five YEARS"... I thought you were gonna say months...OMG. Nice review.

[@tracksandtrees]

Haha right?? It looks like we are getting them in a bit sooner now! But still… insane wait times

[@barrypenner3102]

I put my name on a wait list in November 2021 at Valley Toyota (in Chilliwack) and got a RAV4 Prime XSE in April 2023. My neighbour ordered the same as soon as they saw mine, and have been told it will arrive in July…but then the longshore workers went on strike. Nevertheless, it seems availability is increasing. What is the wait list now at your dealership?

[@peterfessier9780]

I have a 2021 Rav4 Prime SE and it’s a great car. The digital display and the infotainment system are a big upgrade. I think Toyota was really lagging on those items in the earlier Primes. Although the infotainment system is a big improvement, I’m surprised it has so much wasted space on it. The unused area on the left and right is huge. I’m also surprised they didn’t improve on the wireless charger.

[@jdd3399]

Very nice rav4 prime please what is the wait time for rav4 prime my second question is any bz4x you guys received and wait time merry Christmas

[@tracksandtrees]

It’s pretty crazy! We typical only get about 30 a year… so if that remains the same our waiting lists are looking like 4-5 years! 😬 we have had in about 5 bz4x - not as sure on their wait times but I’d imagine 1-2 years! Merry Christmas!

[@davidbonang8650]

Great job Elizabeth thank you ! My R4P/tech is arriving the end of January after a 16 month wait and just wondering if the rubber mats come with it ? Also wondering what the difference is if any between the pressing the ECO/heat/cool button and just turning the knob to ECO ?

[@tracksandtrees]

Hey congratulations in advance! The Eco knob basically lowers your RPMs and if you have a lead foot if doesn’t ‘put out what you’re putting down’, so to speak.the eco/heat/cool basically runs your ac at a reduced rate which saves on gas/battery :) so if you’re not particularly needing to heat up or cool down asap - I’d leave this mode on! At our dealership we include both sets of rubber and carpet mats - but I believe that’s up to your local dealer to decide! I hope this helps 😁

[@bradcrittenden1789]

Very good review. Would love to see a review of the RAV4 Hybrid Limited. Other than the HUD, roof and bigger battery it looks similar.

[@tracksandtrees]

Hey there! No power folding mirrors on any of our Rav4 models yet!

[@mooring10]

Have a 22 RAV4 Hybrid, but seriously looking at the Prime. You said 4 to 5 year wait list-did you mean months or is it really years? It years, surely there will be many more changes and possibly a body redesign?

[@tracksandtrees]

Yes it’s a bit crazy with the time frames as we typically have been getting about 30 units a year! So if we have 150 orders… it’s tough! Not sure if or when production will increase to our area but we are all majorly hoping! It’s such a huge advantage having 3-in-1. The year clients receive their Primes will be relative to the year it arrives in… so yes I’m sure features, price, rebates etc are bound to change!

[@manleynelson9419]

It looks like Maple Toyota (ToyotaWorld) got one and you've got one...I'm guessing most of the other major dealerships received one as well. Does this mean Toyota Canada's allocation for RAV4 Prime XSE Tech is done for the year?

[@tracksandtrees]

I know that all of our incoming models for the year are presold - we typically get about 30 a year and we have 5 times that amount of orders (hence the rough time frame of 4-5 years). We can’t really accurately guess though, as there are cancellations, delays, transport etc.. maybe they will start giving us more too? It’s up in the air!

[@bn-ix2ws]

I like Rav4 Prime more than regular Rav4 Hybrid. Does XSE have exactly same features as Rav4 Hybrid Limited? Elisabeth I share you some secrets and don't tell anyone 😃 You have a power outlet in the trunk and the charging port is close to the trunk, so If you somehow manage to plug in the car into the trunk's power outlet then you won't never run out of juice 😂 You and I invented the first ever car which doesn't need to recharge again 🤣🤣 Happy Holidays Elisabeth and stay safe

[@tracksandtrees]

Haha now we’re thinking!! Wonder how long that would work for 😅 there are some differences for sure between this and the Limited.Hybrid Rav - like this one has a panoramic moon roof and heads up display to name a couple!

[@kong.615]

[@tracksandtrees]

The cruise control on this is a full-speed dynamic cruise control with lane tracing assist! So it will stop and go with traffic from 0-180km! It reads the lines on the road and helps steer but it’s not a ‘fail safe’. If you take your hands off the wheel it will disengage after a moment

Come on Toyota!! I have owned at least 8 of your vehicles and have never been let down but this lack of vehicles on your lots is EMBARRASSING. Mostly I buy my cars by stopping in to look around.

It’s really difficult for everyone that’s for sure!! In a sense I suppose it’s a good problem to have that they continually sell out because they are in such high demand - I don’t know how they can increase production but I sure hope they find a way! I suppose it’s also because they have such high standards and quality control - so I’m glad they aren’t cutting corners to make more that are maybe less quality. I love my Toyotas too!

I've had mine 8 days. This car is 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds, faster than my Audi that i just got rid of. It's basically as fast as anything Toyota makes. About 305 horsepower with incredible torque. Electric engine both front and back along with gas engine. It feels about as fast as anything I've owned. Had to pay a few thousand over MSRP., but got it in 5 weeks. [saleman claimed they'd been getting $15k over MSRP, ho ho ho] The multimedia display is a handful but I imagine I'll get the handle on it soon. The owner manuals are confusing, over 60 computers in car per Salesman. Wife complains the passenger seat is too high, difficult to get into, is manually operated (driver seat is power as you just saw) and passenger seat does NOT go up and down. She's only about 5' 8" tall. Her other complaint is the small size of the glove box. I've not let her drive it yet.

I don't know how tall Elizabeth is but I wonder if she tried getting in the front passenger seat and whether she felt the seat was too high, or knows of a way to lower it.

What's the point of offering a product year after year after year that the average person can't buy in a reasonable time frame. Pointless.

I think not being able to meet demand and dealer markups are going to be a problem. I don’t see myself buying Toyota/Lexus again if they charge so much.

[@GaryBoyd02]

@@ag4eng Heavens create an environment for gouging profits. No they would not do that would they? Some manufacturers dealers deliver on MSRP which is already bad enough. Money has tightened considerably lately so these days may be short lived..

[@tracksandtrees]

People place orders and receive their cars down the road! Time frames are continually fluctuating as the demand is extremely high and Toyota is trying to produce as much as possible. There were many parts shortages (across the world) and it has affected everyone, including order times on new vehicles

4 to 5 YEARS wait?🤣

Crazy hey!!!

[@anilthapar5142]

4 to 5 years wait times. No thanks.

[@mikej238]

Rav 4 Hybrids are 2 years in Canada now yet Americans get them in a couple of months. Canadians need to boycott Toyota. No excuse for such discrepancies on a vehicle that's made in Canada as well. Obviously Toyota gives the US parts priority. Rav 4 Prime is vapourware. You will never get one.

[@underscr0e]

That will all change nearing end of 2023….auto manufacturers will be begging you to buy vehicles.

@@mikej238 I assume most of those people waiting will give up and buy something else or will be financially unable to when they slowly become more available, I gave up a couple yrs ago and bought a new chevy instead...wish I didn't lol.
