2024 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid XLE Premium vs Rav4 XSE Comparison :All Specs & Test Drive

[@magzy9688]

I have the xle premium hybrid. Im in love with it. The XSE is pretty much just a cosmetic upgrade for people that want all that fancy extra stuff! But both are good. Love that magnetic gray color though!

[@HawkeyeRides]

They are nice vehicles 👍

@@HawkeyeRides you know you’re getting at least 7+ years out of a Toyota can’t go wrong with them

@@magzy9688I still see RAV’s from 2000 basically everyday that says something.

i'm getting the XLE prem hybrid next week in gray.

Do you think it is loud? He mentioned that a few times.

[@JoeBuck-uc3bl]

For me fog lights are huge. I had my first car with them and it was awesome, next car I went back to not having them and it drives me crazy.

[@HawkeyeRides]

I like them too but I find it less and less unfortunately

[@matrix-fh9tn]

Bought XSE over XLE for looks and tech pkg, but I sold that nonfunctional accent lights and replaced them with aftermarket amber fog lights. 99% better now.

[@gigilifeent1273]

Same here. A vehicle must have a fog lights.

[@marissayoung3718]

You mentioned it being loud? Is it louder than previous years models? We have a 2021 xse and I feel like it’s so much quieter than gas powered cars in general.

[@HawkeyeRides]

They are starting to get loader 👍

[@marissayoung3718]

[@HawkeyeRides]

Both are louder but the hybrid can be a little more quiet when the engine isn’t running

[@bigjon.6258]

Kinda weird you'd think the premium would have all the painted trim and the gloss wheels and the auto dimming mirror

[@HawkeyeRides]

Some of the features can be confusing because of how many trims each model has.

[@yololol]

Yeah, you would think the premium would have the gloss, but unless you live in the southwest, that gloss is a downside. As even washing your car regularly, the bug acids make quick work of permanently making it look like shit… all that gloss upfront, and on the mirrors…

[@yololol]

It’s mad weird that the Xse has a little net in that little rear side storage area instead of a wall like it should. Those nets end up sagging. They don’t last.

[@HawkeyeRides]

@@yololol thanks for sharing

[@deedarkadir7598]

I just got the xse and I love it

[@HawkeyeRides]

Congrats they are nice 👍

[@reaality3860]

In the long run, the most bang for the buck would be the XLE Hybrid unpackaged. Power tailgate, sunroof, and heated leather seats are not necessary for me, and would only add to the things to go wrong in the future.

[@HawkeyeRides]

I understand but most of the features never go wrong in any vehicle it’s really features someone may want or not 👍

[@kdvwusm]

I personally LOVE heated seats, heated wheel drive and leather. I’m super messy and found the hard way cloth is NOT for me.

[@j8nkies20]

You mentioned the longevity of the battery is a con. Can you elaborate?

[@HawkeyeRides]

If you do not drive the vehicle, you leave it parked, this can kill the battery. Hybrids need to be driven. I have seen some that the battery died, it was 3-7k to replace and this was after warranty but not by miles.

[@immortalsong5109]

I was going to go with xse but after researching the xle premium is probably better for the wife

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thanks for sharing and congratulations

[@chegekinya2454]

My vote goes to xle

[@HawkeyeRides]

That’s what I would pick

[@chegekinya2454]

Ooh yes thanks

[@user-jm2yl2sg9t]

I still can’t figure out which one is actually a hybrid… 😂

[@HawkeyeRides]

I already responded to you’re last comment

[@jeffhadley3362]

Don’t buy a CVT transmission They suck

[@HawkeyeRides]

The Ecvt is different then a traditional cvt which I wouldn’t but a normal cvt either
