Is the 2024 Toyota RAV4 LE AWD TOO BASIC!?

[@bjsimon802]

I think the base cars are the best, very simple to take care of, and less maintenance too, and less costs to fix.

[@KLCII88]

Exactly the reason I got mine. I wanted a car that I can just do basic maintenance and repairs on for the next 15 years. The only thing I wish mine had was power tailgate but I can live without.

[@Rockdog333]

It's good to have this. There are people that are perfectly content with these options. The lower price also attracts retirees, single income , etc.

Also as seen from Steve Wallis, a great car to sleep in

Florida here. My 2024 LE did not come with the blind spot monitor system or the heated seats. However, it did come substantial rubber mats throughout, including my trunk area. Great to combat the Florida sand.The MSRP was a couple thousand lower, too. I wish it had a back hatch release inside the car, but it doesn't. Not a deal breaker for me. Not crazy about the automatic start/stop, but there is a button to turn it off when I start the car. Glad it has a key instead of push button start. As you can see, the wheel covers look pretty nice. The only option I want that it doesn't have is fog lights. However, there is al local company that can install them for me.There are places on the front for them and a vacant switch inside the car. Overall, I love my 2024 LE! I stuck to my budget and am not lamenting getting all the fancy stuff. I'd do it again. Anyway, an engineer would tell you the more connections or gadgets you have, the more potential points of failure. Looking forward to having this car for many years:)

[@derekpullum]

I would definitely take this 2024 Toyota Rav4 LE. I don't have to have all the Bells and Whistles. This would do just fine. Just like my 2023 Toyota Camry LE The Base Model. The only thing I wish my 23 Camry LE would have is the Blind Spot Monitoring, and Heated Mirrors. Besides that I'm Happy.

[@charlier8573]

For the money 💰 is not so basic, you get your money worth in the engine and transmission compared to it's main rival tiny 1.5t and cvt. Toyota is the clear winner for me IMO.

[@coastalbeer]

We bought the LE with AWD and it's perfect! Everything we need and nothing we don't, just like the Xterra!

[@aloayegibiri5894]

I own a 2023 LE AWD. Absolutely no difference between the 2023 and 2024 models with a $3,000 differential. Crazy..

[@marks.9030]

LE is way less stolen, no leaks from roof rails and sunroof ... no other negatives really, compared to XLE. Wheels you can always do with custom than stock.

I love my RAV4 2013 I just hit 151,000 last week. Last year I put 7,500 dollars into it. I replaced the sway bar, front shocks and struts, all rotors, all breaks, new tires and had to replace the muffler. Last week I paid 850 to replace the drive shaft. I live near Cleveland Ohio where salty roads eat up a car from underneath. But my frame is good and the car has been paid off for years. I bought it with only 8,000 miles on it. I’m the second owner and I’ll keep it as long as it runs. Trying to reach 300,000 miles.

[@jeremyv11000]

From an insurance pov it might not be worth to put money into it in case something happens. But if it’s been paid off a while ago that much in maintenance may not be bad

[@familydad3241]

$7500 for that, hope they lubed you up real good first.

[@oleglishchenko4922]

7500 is definitely a ripoff. Find another mechanic.

Just got the 2024 LE in October. love it. I bought the black alloy wheels and using the steel rims for my winter tires. I painted the plastic hub caps black. Black overlay and black exhaust tips. Looks amazing. Only wish more ambient lighting inside and the the window/lock switches were illuminated. I swapped them out with after market and looks great. Also added the lighting to the cubbies on the dash.

[@bjsimon802]

ya new is the way to go, used is overpriced.

[@jollyp1605]

How much? All in please.

@@jollyp1605 I also bought extra cargo cover cargo net and door sill protectors. Roughly $44500 in total including 4 year warranty oil changes that is with all taxes.

[@jollyp1605]

I paid $42,000 all in for the 2023 model le and I just had the gunmetal alloy rims as an add on which were $1300. I guess it’s about right but I always questioned the $1900 for freight they charged me and the $800 administration fees . I thought I read somewhere that these 2 fees were part of the msrp. We’re you also charged these two fees? Thank you.

[@unacarafea567]

Just got a 24' LE AWD with a $6000 discount on the sticker price. Is that too basic? The only thing I can complain about (after having a 21' 4Runner Premium) is the smart key system. I don't miss anything else. The LE is definitely a bargain and a huge value when buying a Toyota. Easy to service. Easy to maintain. Great fule economy. Simple and totally useful model that works unless you are into moonroofs and power seats and stuff like that.

[@rpasco9352]

The '24 LE has already been upgraded over the '22 LE. The digital 'dial' speedometer and the blind spot detectors have been added. Not sure how much that has increased MSRP after accounting for inflation. BTW, the '22 LE speedometer really sucks as a simple 2-digit number in all display modes ! But, The tachometer is a large, multi-colored 'dial'' type LED gauge ! What were they thinking ?! Go figure...

2024 LE does not have heated seats. At least not on the gas version in the US. Maybe you were looking at a Honda CRV.

[@kleinbottledrinker]

In Canada, we have.

In Canada we have front heated seats only. 5 usb ports. I saw a US video the LE has in the rear 12v cigarette adapter if this is correct. Winter floor mats are included. We also have front window de icer not sure if US model has it. The side mirrors have the turn signal indicator . I'm thinking the US model does not. So I'm guessing that is why the Canadian model is more money. Plus we pay more taxes.

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, then Toyota is not for you. They are not a progressive and flashy company. They are subtle .They are slow to change, making sure everything is calculated. Their focus is reliability. They look at things long term. They don’t get caught up in the newest thing, they remain with logic.You can look at most of the Toyota vehicles like this, “ the car looks good enough, but I know it’ll last me if I treat it right”. That’s Toyota in a nutshell.
