Thanks for watching everyone! What do you think of RAV4 and/or RAV4 Hybrid?

[@toronado455]

The color looks very pretty on this video. I don't know why that color doesn't usually look this nice to me.

[@jameybobamey7343]

Just got my XLE hybrid Tuesday and love it so far! Would love to see a geek break down on the specs of different driving modes, such as fuel consumption comparison, how the steering is affected as well. And detailed engine videos. That may be asking a lot though 😉 Your videos are great and I love the impromptu comments in your videos

[@susanmeredith4957]

Love the hybrid, still waiting for my Limited. In British Columbia it’s a 6 mo wait. Zero vehicles on lots.

[@kaleimaile]

I love my RAV4 Hybrid!

I am noticing a light break noise just hitting my mileage at 3k!!! Anyone else!!??

[@reneheuscher1557]

Thank you Jeff! We just bought a RAV4 hybrid XLE, but there are none available at the dealer to look at. Your tour and demonstration are very helpful to us. You are more informative than the dealer sales team.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Jeff, With today's gas prices, a Kentucky-Fried RAV4 Hybrid has never been more appealing.

[@Toyotajeff]

Very good point haha

[@Ceelle2]

Jeff.. I pulled the lever today. Ended up getting the Rav4 XSE Hybrid. Thanks for all your help teaching me what I needed to know!!!

[@Toyotajeff]

Congrats!!!

[@kevinkemble3718]

Hey Jeff! My wife and I after watching your vlogs in 2019 and early 2020, and we called to chat with you. We purchased fully loaded XSE Hybrid RAV4 Silver Sky Metallic 2020. Then9 months later a second one same model Blizzard Pearl 2021. Both technology packages, panoramic moon roof, black roofs, blackout emblems, 18” black wheels. Phenomenal vehicles as you know. Thanks for your detailed videos. Our salesman’s name is Elvis. Perfect fit and we built friendship and trust over the last 9 months at the time of both purchases. Be well Jeff!

[@lindaarmstrong2186]

I bought a 2021 Toyota RAV4 hybrid today and I think your videos are very good. It sure beats opening up that sick booklet. Thank you so much.

[@job.zimmerman8777]

I bought a used 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XLE last month but without any owner's manual. I'm still getting used to all the features because there are so many! I've found a few on my own but I'm very grateful for your video for the rest, and I'll save it for when the weather changes. I'm sure I'll need a review for the fancy wipers and AWD. Thanks!!

[@saxman112]

I loled when you were like “Get here quicker, we’re tired of the vehicle shortage! We’re tired of it!” Can totally relate right now with the 3-6 month wait for my RAV4 XLE Premium I ordered a few weeks back, lol

[@Toyotajeff]

lol yeah it's a tough time right now for people wanting a new one. We shall get through this! I look forward to you getting your new one!

[@saxman112]

@@Toyotajeff Yup, really looking forward to it! My brother just ordered one back at the end of August and he got it just last weekend. Definitely will be worth the wait for sure, and hopefully within either a few weeks or another month, I will finally know my official delivery date.

@@bigfootswatching9986 same. Drives me nuts. They fixed it for the 2022 model

[@CJ-ul6hm]

I have a 2021 RAV4 XSE hybrid with 1000 miles on it. I like the car but a $40,000 price tag should come with a standard power passenger seat. The seat sits way too high is and is uncomfortable. My car is also suffering from the fuel tank issue that was found in the 2019 to 2020 models. I can only fill my car up to two notches below the fill line. This only gives me 420 miles per tank which is a significant reduction to the 580 combined miles that Toyota claims I should get.

[@aidanl9535]

I’m in college, with a 2010 Highlander with 200,002 miles!! I want to upgrade to a rav4 xle premium hybrid when i graduate

[@Toyotajeff]

That's a ton of miles and that's pretty awesome!

[@MarloweDash]

QUESTION: My moonroof will not open in either direction. Is there a lock somewhere that I don't know about? I push the open button and I can hear it trying to open but it does not. (2021 Rav4 Limited)

[@VanessaVortex]

Are you going to do another video for the 2022 RAV4 XLE hybrid or is it pretty much the same?

[@axelsprangare2579]

I really like the RAV4 but I need something with a little better fuel economy so that's why I'm getting the corolla cross hybrid. My three cars will be: The 2022 tundra limited double cab 8.1ft bed, 2019 Toyota highlander, 2023 Toyota corolla cross hybrid.

Toyota had a great lease deal on the '21 Hybrid XLE last year, $289/mo. That offer appears long gone, at least in NC. I had my window! I guess I'll wait til around Labor Day and see what happens. Excellent all-around vehicle.

[@calrobinson7981]

Hi Jeff, Do you know if the heated steering wheel is made with animal leather or Softex? Thanks!

[@abghere]

Is the convenient package include the driver memory seat?

[@Joyhindubangla]

Yes But the new Honda CR-V 22 has better memory sit including 4 side lumber support. This car has only 2 side lumber support! If anyone buy car go for CR-V 22 it has true AWD where RAV4 basically offer 2 wheel drive, it's 4 wheel just works in certain condition. Not a real time AWD like CR-V 22!!!

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

If you don't have the audio Plus package on your vehicle, Does your key fob have remote start capabilities? I have one on hold and can't get a straight answer whether or not it has remote start. I do not have the audio Plus package.

[@donnymac575]

What if you mainly drive on the highway - does a hybrid really make sense then?

[@moose6954]

I have a 2021 RAV4 hybrid. From my experience if I stay below 70 the electric motor will a lot of times be enough to power the vehicle. I drive on the highway a lot through Denver and going about 60-70 it does good using the electric motor only. But I took it on a road trip that I was going about 75 most of the time. Gas engine would stay on most of the time unless I was going down a hill. So I guess it would depend on how fast you go on the highway.

Excellent video! I recently bought one (XLE hybrid) and it's on its way to the dealership. Mine will be Lunar Rock. I wanted a subwoofer but mine won't come with the audio + package but the dealership will give me a $1,000 voucher to have a local car audio shop to install one for me (Looking at one of those "spare tire" subwoofers). So in essence it will become audio + and then some. :)
