Great comparison of both vehicles. Thanks for all your hard work very much appreciated!

Best review video Ive seen in along time and for so many reasons.

[@bossgobbler226]

We have the XLE Premium with the cold weather package. The heated steering wheel gets hot within a mile of leaving home. The lumbar support has actually helped me get over a week long lower back ache. I usually drive my old Tundra '07, but took the Rav4 on a 2 hr drive, cranked up the lumbar support, back ache gone! I had the seats on low heat too.

[@sunitjoshi3573]

Awesome !! How much did it cost? I’m looking at XLE for next year.

[@mhlittleton6493]

Great job, Christina! I usually prefer cloth seats to leather, but I may have to check out the softex material. My budget would prefer the XLE, but the Premium with the weather package definitely has some nice features.

[@lukepark8103]

Just picked up my brand new 2022 RAV4 XLE Premium yesterday at Longo. I drove it 100 miles yesterday, I love the ride. If you add convenience package to XLE, difference isn't that much. I will go with Premium. And I did.

[@tigerman3]

I wished Toyota would allow a black wheel and badging option on the XLE models. (Without having to upgrade to TRD model, etc.) Black RAV4 with black interior and accents=way cool factor!

I have 2020 XLE nice car overall... I liked my previous car (Chevy Malibu 2013) better for getting onto freeway...ie. the way it accelerated was cleaner and had more get up and go... both are 2.5 litre 4 cylinder engines.

[@Snowboy2015]

I'm taking whichever one that comes with you as part of the premium package 😁

[@mattb9664]

Get cha roll on!

[@ChrisBrightwellMusic]

The Premium has SO MANY MORE FEATURES... this video compares a highly upgraded XLE to the Premium... but the standard has way less. THAT would have been a better comparison. I wish the one I just bought was $30k... but for the 2021 in the current market, I paid $46k, including dealer upgrades, $5k over MSRP due to scarcity and the extended warranty. Still super happy that I went with the Premium. It's amazing.

[@PC2011HK]

Very useful.

[@jeffreywilliamson4863]

I got the 21 XLE Premium AWD. Very happy with the mileage as I have an 80 mile daily commute. The AWD performed really well in the recent snow storms. I got the cold weather package as well and only wish I had gotten the upgraded stereo technology package with the remote start. Actually if I had it to do over I'd probably go all out and get the Limited. But overall no regrets. It's going to be a great daily driver for me.

[@finecameroongurl990]

What’s the upgraded stereo technology or is that part of the advanced technology package?

[@jeffreywilliamson4863]

@@finecameroongurl990 Yea it’s the package with the remote start and a few other things I don’t remember right now.

[@Southpaw101]

Remote start is free for all xle

[@jeffreywilliamson4863]

​@@Southpaw101I've figured out that if you don't have the technology package you don't get it at least not on the 21. Trust me I've tried all the tricks I could find online. But if you have something I haven't seen or tried I'd be happy to give it a go and report back.

I was deciding between a Rav4 or a Tacoma but I chose a Tacoma because I fell in love with it lol

[@vickyvanleer8406]

Thanks, for the video, I recently acquired the 2022 RAV4 XLE. I have a question, does the XLE comes with a pre-wired for the fog lights? I would like to add the after-market fog lights if possible, preferably dealer install. Thanks, from California.

[@HotSizzleTV_]

The xle and xle prem have somewhat analog gauge cluster vs xse and limited have that big digital gauge cluster I love. I’m looking at an xse or limited.

[@saxman112]

Looking to eventually upgrade to something bigger than my current ‘16 Camry, and since I am looking to stay with Toyota, I’ve got my heart pretty much set on a RAV4. Since I have most of the niceties that I could get in my Camry aside from dynamic cruise control, emergency braking, and the JBL sound system, when the time does come, I’ll likely go with something like an XLE Premium or Limited. Definitely planning on scheduling a test drive of one of the dealers in my area, and I’ve been hearing lots of good things! No wonder you see a ton of these (and also older RAV4s) on the road!

[@theblue7311]

It’s been 2 years, did you get a RAV4?

[@saxman112]

@@theblue7311 Yup, I did! Got myself a new one back in 2021, namely an XLE Premium hybrid in Blueprint!

[@googoo-gjoob]

taller wheels does NOT necessarily mean higher ground clearance. more often than not, it means a shorter sidewall.

[@finalboss7956]

And a shorter sidewall means better handling in turns, but bumpier ride. I prefer the smooth ride

[@breeb2334]

I have the premium…. Love it

[@oscardiagenao7785]

Love the premium ❤️❤️

[@tectorama]

You can usually use the key fob to set the alarm so you have to use the fob to unlock the car. Nice car but the fuel economy would put me off. I'd go for the Hybrid and get around 50mpg. That's in the UK.

[@ThegyrlfromGa]

Premium with the weather & convenience packages

[@todmas3077]

XLE Lunar Rock is my fave

[@callmebackfriday2]

$3000.00 difference and basically Wheel, sunroof and seat. Which one would you pick?

[@ofcbob6391]

The base 5 spoke wheels are very easy to clean, the 19's take some tedious work. And the 17 inchers provide a very cushy ride, due to the fat, meaty tires.

[@MH-wm6df]

Oh my god. Beautiful! The cars are ok.

[@braetonwilson4296]

She's already married with children. Move on Steve.

[@galret9899]

Very informative video, thank you! I didn't know that larger wheels also meant more ground clearance. I always thought that the larger wheels were offset by lower profile tires. Is there something in the way of specifications from Toyota that show this? I ask because I just messed up the front part of my car on a curb, and an looking for my next vehicle to have a higher ground clearance.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

That is not totally true in this case. The outside tire diameter is larger on the premium. The base trims of the RAV4 have plenty of clearance to avoid scraping parking stops. The premium only has 0.2 inches more clearance. The base trims get better mpg and are quicker since there is less rotational mass.

[@TruthOverLies]

Nice review but the audio suffers...Can I suggest a wireless mic!

[@TNAWWE]

well hellooo Christina!

[@sandilemajiya7831]

I love Rav 4

[@nervousordo]

Rather have 17" tires. Rides better and future tire purchases will be cheaper.

[@finalboss7956]

Yup. More sidewall equals smoother ride

[@MechaTronic161]

Nice Mustangs

[@talonfloyd8104]

What is the kind of floor mat thats in the trunk of the xle? It looks perfect for dogs like mine and I need it! Thank you

[@BLUEISME42]

Does the premium come with those back seat mats?

[@mjw1955]

There's nothing in the XLE premium that's worth $3000 to me. To each his own, though.

[@stevefrank4120]

I bought the premium, so you figure it out, as to which I liked better.

[@MorroccoM13]

I have a 2022 XLE Premium. All I want Toyota to answer is why the Premium doesn't have a small plaque below the XLE stating that it is a Premium model.
