[@christinemyers5913]

No, I will not buy a 2025 RAV4. I would not want a Hybrid and prefer All-Gas. I also prefer simplicity in a car just like the good old days, I don't need all this electronic junk that would only break more easily and require more maintenance.

[@admiraltk]

The reality is that the hybrid is a simpler and more reliable system than the all gas. No alternator, no starter motor, no AC belts etc. After 20 years of refinement it is one of the most reliable and robust systems available

[@keyten5957]

Too late! I already bought the 2024 Rav4 Hybrid XSE with technology package in CASH... I'm very happy with it.

[@kaizhu6402]

Current RAV4 generation spans from 2019 to 2024, as usual the last year production of the generation is the most reliable model year.

[@apollo1464]

I’m buying a 2024. I usually don’t buy the first year of a new generation. They usually have the most problems.

@apollo1464: That’s a good point. I had that happen to me.

[@mkyhou1160]

Thats smart. I like to buy 3rd year from a refresh, picked up a 2023 F150 - all the issues from the 2021 redesign are sorted.

[@tmo4330]

I worked on the assembly line at the Honda plant in Alabama for 16 years. A model change is always the biggest nightmare! You have to train on the new model while keeping up production with the current model. We once had so many cars waiting on repair that we ran out of places to park them. At least Honda test drives every car they make where as Ford only test drives 1 of every 50 vehicles made.

With the new Rav4 coming, the "old" version can be negotiated to a very decent price. I just did that and scored $6000 below sticker price. From what I see on paper, the 25' version doesn't bring enough for me to wait and pay more. Plus new generations of any vehicle is something I avoid.

This is a dilemma I am facing: 2024 or wait for 2025. The problem with 2025 is reflecting on the 2019 which had so many faults it was a disgrace for Toyota and it took 2 years to fix them. Does that mean waiting till 2027 to buy a 2025? That's 3 years away.

[@nicksteinberg6621]

Better to buy a 2024 when a 2025 is available. You will save few thousand dollars.

[@KeithGrove-kn8cv]

I have a2019 Hybrid, NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM. Why was I so lucky, WHAT PROBLEMS SHOULD I HAVE HAD.

[@frankd8957]

I purchased a new 2017 RAV4 XLE 4 wheel drive with several options and standard added safety features for $24,500. As the price of the RAV4 approaches or exceeds $40,000 and interest rates on auto loans well over recent lows, how many new RAV4 will they sell? In 2017 the RAV4 had a price increase over $2,000 due to added safety features becoming standard. That knocked it off the #1 slot to the cheaper Rogue.

[@gregreed402]

Nobody wants third row seats ,they are a waste of time and money

[@Romulan112]

I will most likely order my 2024 Toyota Rav4 this week (Sep '24). The reason, i don't want a new model. Usually, the first three years are dangerous years for buying a new generation. The first few years represent simple problems that will be corrected in future years. Later years, 3-4 bring out the long mileage problems, i.e. transmission/engine issues that can be addressed for long term reliability. The 2024 came out in 2019 and now gets perfect reviews/reliability from Consumer Reports. Also, I don't want a Hybrid. I work on my own vehicles and can't work on Hybrids. That means it would be expensive to repair in its older days. I usually keep a car for a least 15 years.

[@mariasheppard83]

I was torn between the rav 4 and the Honda crv but the one thing I don't like is the fact they have squared off around the 4 wheels?

[@amymurphy5393]

I was torn too but the spare tire was super important to me

[@asianforce]

I hate all the possible redesigns that were in this video. They lowered the clearance and made it look like a venza or Lexus. If mimics the cruiser or 4runner im more for it.

[@bradwaldoch194]

I REALLY love the silver/grey rendition. But I absolutely hate the design that they show in bright green - and not because of the color.

[@A_Bunch_of_Savages]

Cabin noise is the biggest complaint with the Rav 4. How will they be addressing that?

[@ululukululu450]

They won't. Toyotas engines are the best cause of decades of advantages they've had over their rivals. Toyota holds all the important IPs for best quality car engine, so competitors have literally no way to gain an advantage over Toyota when it comes to power train. But in everything else Toyota sucks. Hyundai's and Kia's blow Toyota's out of water when it comes to the quality of material used in car's interior, infotainment and other gimmicky stuffs.

[@k9funquest]

You said it gimmicky.

[@dieseltu1035]

Toyota should offer the old one in 3 models and drop their price points to appeal to 20-35 year olds. If the sketch shown is Toyota RAV4 2025 I’m in. I’m hoping they add more torque and power in their vehicle. If they can get model that has 190kw and 550nm of torque it would be a diesel killer!

Was at the shipyard January 1. Arrived in Jersey around February 6. I felt 3 months was a fair turnaround to get exactly what I wanted. I also insisted the extras come factory installed because I refused to pay to install them at the dealership. That’s what they wanted to do. The factory installed everything.

I have a 2007 with a powerful V6 and 225k miles. Lots of storage, lightweight with 276 hp. New ones keep getting smaller for cargo and space.

More hassle. Maybe when I can charge at home. - SafetySense 3.0? Already there. - More swanky options? Don't care. - More power? Nah. More intereior space, and maybe redesign, that's about it. Rav4 is already pretty good. And maybe if I wanted to off-road more. The current system isn't meant to do that.

Domestic sales surged 20.5% in September, while those in the United States rose 14% and sales in Europe were up 18.1%. In contrast, output and sales in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam fell in September due to tougher economic conditions. In China, the world's biggest auto market, Toyota reported a nearly 7% decline in production even as it reported slightly higher year-on-year sales. ]
