What's your favorite RAV4 trim level? What's your favorite small SUV? Jeff

[@rightlanehog3151]

Do you consider a RAV4 to be a small SUV? 🤔

[@katietatey]

I was waiting on an XLE but an SE with both convenience and weather packages came available first... It was about $5K more but I decided to take it and I'm so glad that I did. I've had the car about 8 mos now and I am in love. Every time I go somewhere I think how lucky I am to have such a nice car. I didn't want the convenience package at first, because I don't really like sunroofs (sunrooves?) but I love the power liftgate. All the safety features and the heated seats have definitely spoiled me. :) It is definitely the nicest car I've ever had. PS, I got a screen protector off Amazon and I think it's a good idea since the display is so important to the car and could easily be scratched when cleaning it.

Jeff, I would take the RAV4 LE Hybrid or possibly splurge on the XLE. 😉 If I wanted a luxury RAV4, I would opt for the Venza or Lexus NX. 😁

[@rightlanehog3151]

Jeff, I am somewhat surprised to see they are still bringing RAV4s from Japan as two plants in Ontario and one in Kentucky are pumping them out. Four plants are needed to meet our insatiable appetite for RAV4s. 🤩

[@davevolz6138]

Japanese are preferred due to sloppy American build quality.

[@mrTopherB13]

I have an exact twin of that SE love it!

[@indaydongtv5139]

Looks more sporty specialy the cavarly blue ❤️🤙🏽

[@TheBaltoDave]

This vehicle is very similar to mine. I have a Hybrid SE in Silver Sky with convivence package. I really wanted the XSE but didn't want to pay for the tech pkg. In any event, I love the car!

[@LionRunner]

In my books I really love Rav4 Hybrid options. Even LE hybrid. Just last weekend I was suggesting Rav4 hybrid LE to 2 of my friends who wanted to buy small crossover around 30K. Due to the price tag of Toyota they went with a different brand. Powertrain wise I really like Rav4 hybrid better. AWD system could have been improved. Wish Toyota can give competitive pricing to entry level trims. When bought my Rav4 LE gas in 2015 it was $21K and now the price has gone up significantly.

I currently lease a 2022 RAV 4SE in cavalry blue… I like the rugged looks and it’s sporty and great gas mileage… My 2024 RAV4 XSE in wind chill. Pearl is on order…. I just wanted more features so I stepped up to the XSE.

[@viaPlanetNu]

What is the ambient lighting called on the options page when building ?? I thought it did just come with it ?

[@chegekinya2454]

Cool nice RAV4 yes it is thanks 👍 for these video

[@ianbladuell2694]

Those black wheels though

[@MrFoxfire510]

Does this have heated seats or steering wheel? And if you get a flat tire, do you need to shave the replacement tire due to this being an awd system..

[@mq5255]

Jeff i jus bought rav4 xse with tech pkg i like it

[@sksharifzadeh3244]

I ordered on with tech pkg. How long you wait?

[@rezanorouzian8198]

Jeff, most RAV4 SE's I have seen are built in the US. But this one you're reviewing seems to be made in Japan. Can you please clarify how that works?

What Is The Waiting Time For Rav 4 XLE

[@justagurl59401]

I love my XSE Hybrid.

[@millerlite502]

Jeff does the Honda CRV have a plastic timing belt because I don't think Toyota uses them anymore?🤓

[@charlesjackson1700]

I don't like the seats in a RAV4 xse.. They should look more premium for the money that those Vehicles cost.. The SE Camry is a more base vehicle. They have the interior of an SE Camry. Too bad it is not like an XSE OR XLE Camry.. THEY HAVE PREMIUM LEATHER... NOT CLOTH AND SOFTEX..

[@charlesjackson1700]

@@davevolz6138 I agree. They are overpriced 6 Grand.

[@deanb3033]

No plane! 😂

[@JMinTexas]

Ok Jeff, the fly is gross. Why did your video editor leave that shot in there?

[@henryhonda8408]

Omg...... we have millions of flies where I am. What's the big deal??? I thought it was cute. 😂😂😂
