Check Out My New 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE! Find Out Why I Got It For The 2nd Time & What I Love!

[@willy2051]

I have the exact same RAV4 XSE with technology package, same colour, same rims except mine is a 2020. I absolutely love it, great vehicle

[@johnkeithracho3944]

Hondas and Toyotas are super dependable and those type of cars will last you hundred thousands of miles.

[@chevy4x466]

I wouldn’t lease a Toyota. U want to buy it cuz of the many years of low maintenance driving. For leases, I think Chevy traverse is a much better vehicle for the money.

[@jayhut2262]

442 000km on my 2006 civic 🔥

[@bjsimon802]

The new Rav4 is an amazing car, and it can handle corners very well, better than old sport cars. I have the older Rav4, but want the new one.

[@MotorCityMaggie]

I’ve been so happy with mine!

[@natalied762]

Great video! We appreciate your attention to detail and Cooper (we have a Black Lab). Thank you for helping us make our decision. After the test drives and research, my daughter decided to go for the RAV4! Safe driving!

[@PrepperDawg]

Great choice, you can't go wrong with a RAV4. We have a 2018 RAV with 46K miles and that thing still rides like it's brand new.

[@thebutlerfamilyadventures]

Love the rav4. I have a 2006 that I bought brand new that has 304,000 miles on it now and still running great. Love this trim level.

[@agak61]

I guess you don’t like changes 😊

[@thebutlerfamilyadventures]

@@agak61 Just enjoy not having bills. It's been years since I've had a car payment.

[@hphillips7425]

Good video. I admire how knowledgeable you are about your rav4. We just got one today and we have a lot to learn.

[@williamfrench9973]

What an excellent video! And what a good boy Cooper is!

[@MotorCityMaggie]

Aw! Thank you! 😊🐾

[@aghamoe]

Great video with plenty of details and description of the vehicle. Thank you very much.

[@namoraxo]

What an adorable pup! Cooper was the highlight of the video for me but great tour of your new rav4 too. Congrats 😊

[@MotorCityMaggie]

Thank you!! 😊🐾

[@JTTTTx]

Great video. My wife and I are waiting for our limited hybrid to arrive later in June. Thinking that you made a great choice of trim. There is a such thing as to much tech. Your trim looks like what we should have purchased. 👍👍😀

[@MotorCityMaggie]

I think you will love the limited! It had a classy look and more standard features than were added as a package with the XSE. I hope you receive it soon!

[@yog2u2]

Great detailed video as always and congrats on the new RAV too! Cooper is adorable and a beauty. 🙌🏼🐾🐶😊

[@MotorCityMaggie]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching! 🚘🐾❤️

[@randomuser964]

​@@MotorCityMaggie Hi! :D I was wondering if you could tell me the width of the car with the side mirrors folded if you please I don't know if it could get it my garage haha

[@ricarroyo5470]

​@@MotorCityMaggieHey, how's everything I have the hybrid XSE 2022 rav 4 so they're very expensive compared a regular mechanic examplefor oil changeis $85 & inspection $70 from a regular mechanic but Toyota is $100 & 85 and they try to tell me to come down every 3 to 6 months to make sure the tires are rotated, inspect everything fluids are alright but they charge me a lot of money to do that so my warranty is almost up so do you recommend that I go to them after the warranty or to a regular mechanic if it was you

[@michaelgraden6690]

I love the look of the XSE and the two tone with the metallic gray and black is awesome. I think this is what I will be picking up in 2024.

[@susanmeredith4957]

I agree I’d love a heads up display too and folding side mirrors! Especially for a limited you’d think it would have it.

[@lander2100]

I appreciate you explaining the comparison between the two vehicles. I have a older RAV4. The vehicle still going. I plan to upgrade to a newer RAV4 soon.

[@hi_its_m3_284]

[@marlon9683]

I love it .. I’m actually waiting to see if Toyota is going to have 2024 model RAV4 xse !! If not then I’m definitely getting the 2023 fully loaded!!

[@stephenwinter8892]

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video I'm enjoying my Toyota RAV4 PRIME

[@henryhonda8408]

Great video Maggie...... I also have a 2020 Rav4 XSE hybrid which was assembled in August 2020. I really love all the extra features in the 2023 but I may hold off for the 2024 XSE hoping that they will add the Ruby Red with black roof to the color mix. The only thing I like in my 2020 over the 2023 is the fog lights but I guess I could get used to the accent lights. I really love Cooper ❤what a nice boy!

[@cormaro13]

U know u can just wrap it right ?

[@delliott777]

Oh my goodness! Cooper has grown so much since St Patrick’s day! Sparkling ✨ Water!? Now I know your secret to your sparkling personality and reviews! Congrats on the RAV4! I’m seriously considering a used RAV4 as my Civic seems to live in the repair shop. I do think the Crown might be a nice 2nd car… mainly ‘cause of the name, a “crown” for a queen 👸🏻 I may have missed it… what do you think of the ride? Soft? Road and wind noise? Glad to see another great review, made my week. Cheers 🥂 (a toast with sparkling water) for a sparkling lady. Prayers 🙏 for continual growing success for you and your family 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼 🐕

[@MotorCityMaggie]

Thank you for another sweet and glowing comment from you! Your comments always make me smile! Sparkling water is truly my go-to beverage! The ride is good! Not as soft as a sedan but not jerky or bumpy at all. I’ve never noticed road or wind noise either! I also have been bumping music with my new JBL speakers haha! Thank you for the prayers and well-wishes! Sending positive thoughts your way!

[@JennaCalifornia]

Lots of options except they only have 1-3 available on the lot. 😊 I just got one though and I love it. I didn’t get a hybrid, although I wanted one. This is making me jealous. Lol

[@Peteliao]

I went to my Toyota dealership yesterday. They wanted to sell me this exact trim for 55K... =( I can get a Lexus for that price!

[@snape57]

[@xoangelicaf0523]

Is this the magnetic grey metallic?

[@delsmontgomery]

Hi Maggie! Does the 2023 Rav4 have a front camera view? i only ask because the Lexus RX has one, and the tech is similar to the Toyota, so i wonder if Toyota Rav4 has that too!

[@MotorCityMaggie]

It does have a front camera! It is so convenient. My 2020 did not have it, but my 2023 does. It’s part of the panoramic view monitor which is not standard.

[@delsmontgomery]

@@MotorCityMaggie Awesome! And when you park, does the toyota have park assist where it shows you if something is blocking the front? And does it have sensors when there is a car coming from behind, on the left or right?

[@tonymontana3742]

Cool car, I want one, but my concern is accidents. 1st responders must identify the vehicle as a hybrid and then find and disconnect the hybrid battery before any rescue attempt.

[@justahumbledude]

I'm getting this exact model and color and features just 24 version. Everything you can include I'm getting minus the roof. I dont want the rails to impact my panoramic moonroof.

[@bepowerful2160]

Which trim packages did you get?

[@fartman10284]

I approve of the golden retriever. But my golden loves the cargo area of my Highlander. She gets her own air vents without the wind blowing on her face

[@ahbenjamin2889]

Maggie I enjoyed your video very much. A thoughtful review.

[@MotorCityMaggie]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@andrewbird57]

I currently have a Gen 4 Prius, non prime. I need something bigger now, and will probably buy a Rav4 hybrid, but I don't think I want a prime. I don't want to constantly plug into a charger for the limited range it adds. One thing I really like about my Prius is not having to think about fueling (whether pumping or charging) for 500 miles.

[@jpfortuno]

great video, but please make the sound stereo through the whole video

[@kenfrank2730]

Good job of explaining all the features. I'm shopping for a 2024 Rav4 XSE hybrid fully loaded. The price is around $44k. With sales tax, registration fees, and other fees the state adds on, you're looking at close to $50k. The drawback with the 2024 model is no choice of interior color - it only comes in black. Which is odd since the XSE is the higher trim line.

[@mq5255]

Thanks for the details review I like this color,Hows the JBL sound system compare to the regular speakers is it worth it to upgrade? N wat about the driving experience?because i am thinking to go for the same trim.n digital gage cluster is included in base xse trim or i have to pay extra?

[@LC.1990]

The JBL sound is terrible. We had beats audio in our old jeep and it was sooo much better sounding.

[@kadu2be]

Go to a Toyota dealer to test drive hybrids for future next vehicle 17:28 purchase.

I'm a girly girl and got the same color with the blacked out wheels as you, a few people tried telling me it's a manly option, but I just loved the sleek look.

[@MotorCityMaggie]

I’m such a girlie girl too and feel like the blacked out wheels and roof give it a sleek look. I don’t think cars have a gender so those people are silly lol. Enjoy your RAV4!

Hi there, great video! Kind of a personal question, but does this sports edition cause you to pay more insurance in a non-sports edition RAV4?

[@istupid4454]

Thank you!

[@nicolasrap7832]

Spectacular,both you and the car!

[@MotorCityMaggie]

Thank you kindly!

[@NickMcC]

May seem random, but did you ever have problems with your 2020 accessory battery dying? I LOVED my 2020 xse, but I had to get rid of it because it kept stranding me and Toyota refused to take it seriously saying I was probably leaving something turn on inside (which according to the manual is impossible). I can't seem to find anyone having the same problem in the last few years of models though, so I might be good to pull the trigger on a 2023. Lots of issues with that in the 2020s though.

[@MotorCityMaggie]

Wow so sorry to hear they happened to you! I never experienced that happening in my 2020. My only issue with the 2020 was that I did end up having the gas tank issue where it would not fill up all of the way, but when I took it in for service after they discovered a solution, they were able to fix it.

[@neoshazam]

Thinking about an XLE with the all weather mats and cargo stuff. How's the engine noise / road noise ?

[@susanmeredith4957]

When I got my 2022 Rav, it was a hard decision between XSE and Limited. Liked the black top on XSE, but would have to add tech pkg to get what I wanted so went with limited. Canada has different packages. Love my Rav! They’re great vehicles.😢

Hi Maggie Congratulations For Your New Rav4 Hybrid One More Question How Long is The Waiting Time For The Rav4 Hybrid I Was Thinking To Put Order On 2023 Toyota Rav4 Xse Hybrid

[@henryhonda8408]

It varies with every dealership. Where I am its about a 3 to 6 month wait for an XSE hybrid. A little bit less for the other hybrid models. You'd most likely get a 2024 if you order it now but you never know.

[@davidcarlin3850]

Beautiful Pup :)

[@miazahmed3930]

Please help me out , can you tell me where is the good deal location in nyc where I can choose one from & what would be price for 2023 rab4 xse hybrid ? And which color is gorgeous interior & exterior side?

[@jmb-cm7mr]

My husband and i just bought the base model 2023 LE we did not want to pay for a bunch of stuff we didn't want by getting a higher model. The only things we cared about were FWD, Heated seats (we had them installed by the dealer because you can only get them on the XLE and higher with the weather grade package but any model you can get them installed by the dealer) we also got the premium paint color Ruby Red its a beautiful color. The extras it came with were all floor and cargo mats, usb in the back seat and mud flaps. We really like our RAV 4

[@paulira7407]

I have a 2021 Rav4 Prime and it has been a reliable vehicle for me the last two years, but I will be selling it next year when the 2024 Mazda CX-70 PHEV becomes available for sale. I’m not a picky person when it comes to the interior styling and quality of my vehicles, but the Prime’s interior is too bland for me. The two mains reasons why I purchased the Prime was because it was offered to me for MSRP and I qualified for the $7,500 tax credit that was available at that time for the Prime. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have purchased it. For some people, the Prime’s interior will suffice and as long as it’s reliable and provides great MPG’s and the EV range is as advertised, that’s all that matters. 👍
