The one Trim level that comes with power seats kzbin.infoTW6Iz8Lx-WU?feature=share

[@rafars2246]

Wow that's an honor! Lol

[@tompov227]

that moment around 2:10 where you ran through the interiors of all the trims in the same perspective was very nice. I have not seen any other car channels do anything like that. Well done

[@johnmartin7158]

Thanks for your awesome review, Sir. A very nice vehicle indeed. Cheers NZ.

[@sierra4869]

So excited. Mine is coming end of month!

[@southernnaturalhairaffair7912]

Awesome video! Just subscribed

[@jirikacirek5463]

I have this car since november 21 and love him more and more. Great car 👍

[@SalmanAliYousafzai]

Beautifully elaborated the Rav4 in all sorts of terms :)

[@neildesposito1492]

Good honest review 👍

[@gmdsr1177]

Good Review!

[@andyli724]

Very good video

[@wamps3370]

I own a 2024 LE. Without a sunroof there's more headroom. Absolutely love the vehicle except for the steering. I've learned to live with it. It's VERY light and can be twitchy; could have better feel. But otherwise this is the AWD vehicle I thought it would be. I'd purchase it all over again! MPG's with the standard motor are very close to the rated figures. I'm getting 29-30 in town and 34-37 on the hwy. I'm happy!

[@1967onebob]

Excellent review. I bought the 2023 Limited Hybrid November 2022..I'll probably get it in 2 years.

[@CrookedMustache]

Ouch, I hope it’s nowhere near that long.

[@thepcuser5469]

That’s a long wait time, considering that for gas models you don’t need to wait as much (much less wait time for gas models vs hybrid models)

[@lizstromsnesdolz629]

Do you know about Cablegate?

[@brucemiller2057]

I switched my 14 month old Prime order to a straight hybrid in late March. Supposed to receive in 2 weeks.

[@aussie8114]

Told today the wait here is 2 to 3 years. If I decide to get one I’ll just buy from a private seller that doesn’t want their order. About 10k more but given the price on a ordered one will rise by several thousand over the next 2 or 3 years that you will have to pay, the 10k is more likely to be about 5k. Not much of a premium to get one immediately.

[@kathym1904]

I ❤my 2022 Rav Hybrid XSE trim.

[@Forevagabby]

I wish this color came with a beige interior on the limited hybrid :( its so nice

[@lizstromsnesdolz629]

For me, deal breaker they won't give you real leather option

[@ivdubgti]

People want a car that will last.

[@johnnylabastida2665]

I got the 2023 Hybrid XLE model. I was wondering if you could tell me if it’s me or if I’m just doing something wrong when it comes to the radio. I’m only finding 12 preset/favorites available. Is that correct?

Luxurious nice RAV4

[@agaragar21]

Whats with the steering wheel cover....why not also have gaming dice hanging off the mirror ?

[@ofcbob6391]

Anyone know if this interior color is what Toyota calls their "black" or is this the "dapple gray/black"

[@jxmar_]

5:46 The Camry comes standard w a 6 way manual passenger seat! Idk why this doesn’t! Also guess the replacement for the V6 is the prime model

[@CrookedMustache]

I don’t understand it, Toyota now offers 13 ways to have your RAV4 without including the prime, I can’t see a financial argument for not offering even manual height adjustment on any of them

[@jxmar_]

@@CrookedMustache yea only models w the powered seat allow you to adjust the height.

[@thepcuser5469]

@@jxmar_ so basically the limited, limited hybrid and xse prime only, for the camry it’s on all trim levels weather you have the manual passenger seat on base models or the power passenger seat on top of the line models

[@theedwardstewart]

The change tray most likely isn’t targeted at the US market. Other countries regularly use coins where the US would use $1 and $5 bills.

[@albertchavez7645]

Are the windows tinted?

[@jpdoc5722]

kindly share link to that steering wheel cover of yours., thanks

[@CrookedMustache]

I reached out the owner, He tells me it was purchased at Ross. I tried looking online and found something that appears to be quite similar but I can't guarantee its the same amzn.to/3Yhcy7v

[@roelp1126]

Great review! Just got my ‘23 RAV4 in the Netherlands and it can tow up to 2000kg’s (around 4000 pounds) in the basic model…! Other differences are that the basic model here (called ‘active’) has a smaller engine (2 liter dynamic force, 175hp, manual transmission) more standard goodies (10 inch infotainment, led headlights and 17 inch alloys come standard), however for a much higher price (starting at €44500 which is around $47500). Alltogether a great car for me though!

[@CrookedMustache]

Thank you Roel P, a manual in the current RAV4? Now I’m trying to imagine having the revvy 2.0 liter with the manual here in the states, it’ll never happen but that sounds like a cool combo

[@TJP773]

Still waiting over 4 months for my second key fob for my 2023 Rav XLE.

[@CrookedMustache]

Your car was delivered with only one key fob?

[@user-rq3vt4kg4o]

Same with me, almost 3 months. They said it's chip shortage.

[@TJP773]

@@CrookedMustache yes only one. They initially told me I’d get the second on in a month or so. NOT the truth.

[@user-rq3vt4kg4o]

RAV4 is facing law suit due to hybrid cable early failure and charges customer $6000 for replace - it will fail again.

[@johnmartin7158]

My RAV4 seat is adjustable 5 ways. Depends on the trim level.

[@CrookedMustache]

@johnamartin7158 hey John are we talking about the drivers seat or the passenger seat. It’s the passenger seat that Toyota seems to mount rather high considering it lacks any height adjustability despite the drivers seat having even the 8 way option

[@johnmartin7158]

@@CrookedMustache Hi ! My driver seat on the RAV4 Hybrid. But yes you’re right nothing on my passers front seat. The Limited Hybrid in NZ has power seat adjustment on both sides. Limited has more tech and yes the 2 tone RAV4 Hybrid Hybrid costs more. Go figure. I’m 176 cm and getting in and out of drivers seat even with power adjustments require a little contortion. Cheers NZ.

[@Waylon_Jenn]

What's that color called?

[@CrookedMustache]

Lunar Rock

Japanese car ergonomic design is based on a 5’6” Average height.

[@francisgeorge873]

Is this XLE premium?

[@CrookedMustache]

This one is just the XLE; note the 17in wheels; if you're walking on a dealer lot, look for the larger 19 in wheels, The XLE premium and the Limited share the same 19 in wheels. The easiest way to tell them apart (especially from the front) is the grill. Black on the XLE Premium and Dark grey on the Limited From the side, color-matched door handles on the XLE Premium and chrome on the limited

Im matured quick if i won the lotto id buy this over any luxury vehicle and with the rest a home for each my family members and for myself

[@sonliamsaechao23]

You serious the camry is bigger than the rav4?

[@CrookedMustache]

Yea and it doesn’t look like it right? It’s 12 inches longer overall with a wheel base that almost 6 inches longer. That adds up to a fraction more leg room front and back for the Camry. But total interior volume and cargo volume goes to the Rav4.

[@simonwong8691]

I think when it comes to front driver and passenger head room the Camary is bigger “. But when it comes to overall cargo space and rear seat space the rav is a lot bigger “ I have the 2022 rav 4 xle. I am 6’1 and I have plenty of space when I am driving on a daily basis. But when it comes to car camping, or fitting a bike in the rear seat/ trunk, the rav is not big enough. Now I really want to get the 4 runner

[@OldFordTaurus]

Let's not forget the cheap build quality and defending road noise

[@CrookedMustache]

Oh, you must have seen my review of the previous generation as well 🤣! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKni5yim61_btkfeature=shared

[@cotasa]

V6 = gas eater .. turbo = won't last long ..

[@nazimL1011]

Very well said....screw the turbo shit you see every day lately.

[@therabbitnews9362]

Why didn't you understand why Toyota gave up on V6 RAV 4? The regulators of the government had forced Auto makers to make a certain kind of vehicles by a certain year. This is the product of what they had passed about twenty years ago.

How can people still consider buying something other than a Tesla?

[@Zorazora1234]

Ohh please…

[@geraldwilmshurst2168]

Duh, money!!

[@jahcolby2315]

This a serious question?

[@SmartPracticeSuccess]

Are you kidding?? I bought a brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring in January. I could have bought a Tesla but I still prefer an ICE car for a few reasons: 1) Lack of EV charging infrastructure. We have an excellent EV charging infrastructure here in the town where I live. But what if I want to drive from South Florida where I live to TX or CO? I’d hate to be stuck in the middle-of-nowhere Midwest plains with no charge. 2) Replacement batteries are incredibly expensive. 3) Batteries have a tendency to explode and set your car (and possibly your house) on fire. I’ve seen news stories where this happened. 4) Teslas are NOT actually eco-friendly. Have you looked into the metals and minerals needed for EVs and what mining them does to the earth?? Permanent damage. 5) Battery disposal is even worse for the environment. 6) Cost of Teslas. They’ve been significantly more expensive than ICE cars until recently. Your average Joe can’t afford a $60K EV just to virtue signal to the neighborhood. I can get a reliable, long-lasting, energy (gas) efficient Honda for a fraction of the price that’s more environmentally friendly and significantly less expensive. Honda Civics range from $22K-$31K. EVs are still niche, not ready for mass-market prime time. If you want to spend big bucks to be EV guinea pigs, be my guest. I’m not going to be an EV guinea pig. Please ask me again in 10 years…

CRV is better

I said exactly this when I reviewed the previous generation RAV4 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKni5yim61_btk ), but the sales figures disagree.
