This Is What 4 Years Does To A Toyota RAV4 Hybrid!

We all know and love the Toyota RAV4 hybrid, but what would the hybrid SUV look like and feel like after a while of use?
What will the wear and tear be to the vehicle and how will it age? How will the hybrid system drive and feel on a Toyota RAV4 hybrid after 4 years?
In this video, I answer and go over a lot of the questions, I even show you some general wear and tear on the RAV4 hybrid and how they hold up.
I think you will be very pleased.
Thanks for watching!

I have a 2021 Limited Hybrid with 105,000 miles. Same pearl white color. Serviced every 5,000 miles at dealership. Actual calculated 44 mpg overall. June 9, 2024 will be 3 years owned.

I’ve a Prius 2019 purchased on march 2020 and it has now 133k kms and runs like new. I’m planning to keep it.

[@sszzzzxx4702]

Show us the condition of the orange MGR cable underneath the car!

I have a 2024 XSE Rav4 Hybrid and love it! Agree with you! LOVE the backup sound! Sounds sci-fi ish!!!

[@DHGo-ex7ns]

Toyota is the Best car on the market bar none. This shows why it's the leader of all car companies. Great Quality, Great Safety, Excellent Hybrid! I love my 2020 Camry SE Huybrid.

I have a 2021 XLE Rav4 Hybrid with 47K and it's held up well. A few minor road chips. no squaks or rattle. Gas milage is still great at 40mpg. I have it serviced regulary at my local dealer. The only problem I have is the cloth seat. I wish I had the softex seats. The color is the Ruby Pearl Red Meatalic. I aslo owned a 2018 Rav4 XLE non-hybrid, that was a amazing ride. Thank you for this video. I'm in the US but I enjoy your infomative videos,

16k km s on my 2024 Rav 4 Woodland HEV trim 45-52 🇨🇦 mpg. Best midsize SUV I’ve ever owned. Zero 🚩. Absolute Great value !

[@craigfin3222]

RAV4 is a compact SUV, aka CUV or Crossover, regardless of trim. The Highlander is a midsize.

[@JorisSteurs]

This one is in Canada? Be prepared to have your high voltage cable replaced in the near future, expensive job if it is not done under warranty.

[@TheDandaman69]

I have a 2020. RAV 4 Hybrid. Still looks like new after 46 thou kilm. Very satisfied. My forever car. Added side door protectors and side running boards. (Steps)

[@sjv9147s]

I once owned a Civic Hybrid. After 5 years, the engine was still running like brand new - although I had to replace the battery as it wasn't holding up its charge anymore. The point is that the battery was dynamically consistent in augmenting the engine from severe stress, which is the main factor that wears the engine down over time.

[@mikemj8204]

I have a 2023 Rav4 limited loaded it's a great vehicle I get 51 to 53 miles per gallon in the summer and around 47 in the winter. Hybrid is the only way to go stay away from all electric.

[@howardcrane5902]

Our 2024 Limited is only getting 39 mpg. Do you only drive downhill? We’ve had it for 4 months and love it.

Was the hybrid cable replaced? My 2020 RAV4H had the corroded cable replaced at 60k km’s.

Great question🤔🤔

I have a Toyota RAV4 hybrid 2024 with a convenience package . Has about 4800 miles I noticed the sunroof leaking when it's raining . Dripping water inside the black container on the right side under the glass . I took it for 5000 maintenance and also did an inspection on the sunroof at a Toyota dealership. They couldn't duplicate the water leak. They said if the water leak continues I should bring the car back to them . They will keep the car for 2 days to do more tests. I am not sure if this water dripping is normal since the car has only 4800 miles and never use or open the sunroof. I am wondering if the sunroof is waterproof ? Other than the sunroof leak I love my Toyota RAV4 hybrid. Your opinion matters plz see my concerns. Thanks all

[@romanc.5074]

Sunroofs are trouble. I'm sorry.

[@Glideslopes]

Can we see an image of the MGR connection?

Hi just want to know if you can rust proof a rav4 hybrid..just got my ‘24 SE hybrid..planning to have it rust proofed..but the dealer said it’s not allowed on hybrids..thanks..

Does CR-V hybrid 2024 come with rear parking sensors in all trims?

[@igortokarev2350]

Just couple cents. It's 2020, so it might be close to the end of life of high voltage cable ( at least it should be covered by warranty). Another problem is more serious - it might have a problem with roof rail leak which can cause serious problems. Stains on top of the doors might be a traces of water leak. Personally I would avoid years before 2022 because of possible water damage and old design of high voltage cable. I have 2022 and it has problem with rail water leak fixed, but high voltage cable still has a problem with corrosion (even it's a newer design, but warranty for it was extended to 8Y/160K )

[@anonymoususer5541]

I thought the roof rail leak issue was fixed since the 2022 MY. Your 2022 still had this issue?

Really wish they had approved licensed alternative sounds to the pedestrian alert sound. Would love it to sound like the knight Rider scanner whoom-whoom

[@authorccdragon]

You didn't even test the hybrid battery to see how it's doing....come on! I have a 2017 Rav4 hybrid and I love it but I'm getting closer to the hybrid warranty ending and I'm concerned about hybrid battery replacement. I wanted to see how that's judged on a used hybrid. How long will it last reasonably?

[@everythingsgooddeli557]

They are just getting early 2000s prius cars in for battery replacements so you're good for about 15 years from date of purchase or longer

Where in Canada do you live? 8 months of harsh winter, maybe come down below the North Pole bud !

[@tr1bes]

It's in Canada. The weather there is mostly cool, cold and freezing. Put it in hot and humid area like Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The heat does more wear and tear to any parts of a vehicle. 4 year old vehicle is still consider new. Pass 7-10 years, more clarity would be more. 11-15/20 years, more things will pop up more than usual. My 2008 Toyota camry in the 1-5, year, nothing pop up. By 2014, the dash board has melt due to the heat of Texas. Headlight became yellowish. Carpet and seats have discolor. More internal problems like leaking oil became prominent. It's still fixable and it's run smoothly until recently when it's a total loss due to a traffic accident. The last mileage is 140k. My wife's 2015 Honda Odyssey as of now has no major problem.

[@steverobinson1979]

A lot of municipalities in Canada use salt on the roads in winter. The salt corrodes vehicles a lot faster

[@tr1bes]

@@steverobinson1979 Experts with AAA SAID the extreme heat is worse for your car than the extreme cold. The heat can cause car batteries to die, tires to pop and alternators and air conditioners to go out because of how hot the engine gets.Aug 4, 2023

This morning, on our way to the Office, which is Downtown, and a RAV5 Toyoda "Flip Over" in collision with Hyundai SUV, Santa Fe? So, why the SUV flip/ Rollover in City Driving? That is not safety Top Knot??? Regards, Our Subaru Outback 2008; and Legacy 1992, last us until stolen in May 2023 = With Good Tires/Rims much higher clearance than the RAV5 !!! 😂 😂 Don't take us wrong we owned Toyoda Camry V6 LE 1993 like those early 3000cc Engines on Lexus ES300... They did spin like crazy in Winter here!! Get a CrossTrek and/or Forester and owner will know he/she are Safe and better "Peace of Mind" Cheers,

[@travelteam12345]

I have a 2012 Yaris, it gets 46 to 48 mpg on highway. One of the best cars I have owned. Cannot get in ON now, sad. To get your money back for a hybrid would take years and many thousands of km. Corolla is as good with a ICE.🍁🍁🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@LouisHansell]

Was this car kept in a garage?

[@robertdemeny251]

Where I live the hybrids has a better resale value and are highly sought after in the secondhand market. Bying secondhand, the non hybrids seem to stick to the dealers forecourt.

[@joychung3639]

I wonder if you can upgrade TSS 2.0 to 2.5 if you buy used vehicule. because with hybrid or EV no one will want old tech because the new hybrid give more efficiency = more mile per gallon.

[@npinero1]

My 2019 has 18k miles (21km) and it is immaculate

[@hawky225]

50k kilometres in 4 years is nothing. I'd be more interested to see how a hybrid RAV4 holds up after 30-40k kilometres a year, which isn't out of the ordinary for people who have to commute a few hours a day to and from work.

[@anonymoususer5541]

Check out The Car Care Nut's video. He did a review on a 2019 Prius with 341K miles.

[@darlowmaxwell7346]

Check out my comment. 3 yrs, 105,000 miles!

[@oleglishchenko4922]

If you drive just 50K km in 4 years (12.5 per year), you don't really need a hybrid.

[@ChrisHackney-fp5mz]

Maybe dont fully detail the car interior, exterior and engine bay before talking about how it has held up aesthetically 😏

[@lindap.p.1337]

How can we tell how it is holding up if it is dirty?

[@denniss1211]

Only 30K miles ... that's hardly any in that time line.
