This is just what I have been looking for! Thank you so much. Leaning toward Prime just because this is where we need to go for the planet. Thanks again for giving these items needed for making an informed decision.

Great video, could you do the 2024 Chevy trax next??

[@toptrims]

Great suggestion, we’ll get to work!

[@toptrims]

Chevy Trax video is up!

I'm not convinced that the Prime advantages are not offset by the disadvantage of higher price and related issues, as fairly well-covered by this vid, so I am sure this vid was an excellent help to me in understanding the question. Add a look at resale value to perhaps allow an answer.

[@toptrims]

I think the cost/benefit will change greatly depending on many factors such as daily mileage, access to charging, local gas prices, etc. Great feedback, thank you!

[@kevinparcell8537]

@@toptrims I think you are right tt, that's why I'm buying the rav4 prime. i also use an e-bike when weather permits, and in Costa Rica that is most of my transportation. Gracias amigo!

Doesn't matter, because there are only two levels (SE and XSE), and only one is available. Just get an SE and be happy. It's a breakthrough car. Dealers and consumers are completely missing the main feature of this car. The RAV4 Prime is a performance SUV. It's quicker than the similarly sized BMW X3. Forget all this business about running it in EV mode until the gas engine has to take over. The electric part of the powertrain has been set up like a turbo-charger. Just put the car in "normal" mode, press the accelerator, and take off. Instantaneous acceleration. It also has surprisingly nimble handling. The sport seats in the Prime SE sit lower than any of the standard LE RAV4s, and they hold your butt in place as you zoom around town. When you test drive one, I suggest you drive the fanciest standard or hybrid XLE they've got. Then get in an SE Prime, and you won't believe the difference. It even sounds better. You'll have a hard time keeping your checkbook in your pocket.

[@toptrims]

Great perspective, thanks for sharing!

[@javig5045]

This sure helps narrow down the options, thanks for covering all the important things, too bad there is no tax credit to help out with it's high price, sure the quality is there, but it is out of reach of midstream Americans, hope it changes soon...Javi G.

[@toptrims]

Yes, they are certainly not cheap. Thanks!

Is the RAV4 Prime Premium package contain the only rear view mirror with integrated garage door opener?

[@toptrims]

The RAV4 Prime XSE will come standard with Homelink (garage door opener) on the rearview mirror

[@chimrichalds1422]

At what speed and rate of acceleration can it drive on electric only?

[@jinfield]

I own a Prime 😎 you can drive up to 84mph on just EV power which has always been plenty as I rarely do this as this doesn’t maximize the EV range

[@toptrims]

@jinfield with the assist! For rate of acceleration on EV only mode I’ve read around 9 seconds 0-60 which is not that far off a gasoline RAV4

[@chimrichalds1422]

@@jinfield thank you.

[@chrisdeacon1754]

The motor configuration on your video is wrong. Only one rear motor. A main and secondary motor in the front.

[@toptrims]

Thank you for the clarification

This channel is going to be my favorite!🤌

[@toptrims]

Happy you are here!

[@NoShadowOfDoubt1]

My 2023 Rav4 prime came in a with shower option: in the rain it will pour water next to the center light

[@toptrims]

Oh no! Hopefully that is covered under warranty!

[@FunnySegments]

Overpriced, better to buy Lexus UX instead!

[@toptrims]

Much nicer vehicle, just a sacrifice on interior space
