[@poggi747]

Traded in my 2013 Limited w/JBL for a 2020 XLE Hybrid w/ conven and winter package. Rear cross traffic alert and blind spot monitoring are a must for me. I would never buy a car without these features. Am very happy with my XLE.

[@bliglum]

XLE is for sure worth the extra money. The full keyless system alone is worth it, the convenience of not needing to mess around with your keys out of your pocket or purse EVERY SINGLE TIME in and out of your car is SOOOO nice. One of the better convenience features on newer cars.... But then you get the Alloy wheels, the fog lights, the nicer interior, the power driver seat, the dual zone climate control, plus extra safety features that can save you on insurance... XLE Worth it for sure.

I want a key . Electronics is un reliable and a fob replacement key is a couple hundred verses 5 bucks

Jeff! thank you so much for your videos! We just bought a used 2020 Rav4 XLE with 26K miles (we are in Tampa area, else we would have bought from you!!). Your videos helped us a lot in getting familiar with all the features and helped us decide between the LE and XLE. I like your humor and jokes! Content is great! very detailed! If I'm ever in Raleigh I'll stop by and say hello! P.S: My other car is a 2006 Toyota 4Runner Limited V8 with 200K miles and still runs like new! :) We Love Toyotas! Regards from: Edgar, Lyn and our goldendoodle Chloe who demanded rear AC vents.

Thanks Jeff, you helped us with picking our new RAV4 XLE, great time to trade in for new cars right now with chip shortage and higher trade-in allowances for quality used cars, we got a new RAV4 XLE and cash back on our low mileage 2016 Tahoe LS, can't beat that with a stick as they say here in Texas, ha,ha!

Just bought the AWD blacked out package & I’m loving it!

[@safwanammar3445]

Good job bro,u made me love my XLE RAV4 more and more.

[@corpuzone]

Xle by far has got to be the baseline you have to start from with those useful features. Also, not 3500 more it’s at max 1500 more vs the LE. Due to the market experiencing inflation and chips shortage amid pandemic, we got these LE variants coming in at almost same price as the XLE it’s crazy. Local Toyota dealership marking up prices on both by 2500! They also didn’t have much cars since people are buying up cars earlier before things might potentially get worst 😟. I personally am eyeing the XLE and trading my car which still has good residual value.

[@deere3321]

The fact that the LE has a key would be enough for me to pick it. Good review.

[@Childfree334]

Truthfully, I just bought the 2021 XLE and I'm not missing the crank key at all. I just throw my fob in my purse, can leave it there, and push start my car. I'm actually loving it.

[@brow06]

@@Childfree334 yes good choice! The not so big price premium between the le and xle and the many more features within the xle a much better purchase! Enjoy your car ☺️

That is why I am here because I am looking for videos after my purchase to see it before i actually see it. Lol I wished I bought it from you instead. Plus im moving to NC too this end summer with this new car!!

[@brow06]

Literally the whitest jokes ever but ur right I think we all love it cause it’s so unfunny 😂😂 I’m also thinking of the xle do you like it so far?

[@badderthanyou]

Have to go with XLE for rear air vents and dual climate up front.

[@backoff7659]

That's what we got, love the auto tailgate and moon/sun roof, and the auto lock/unlock features door handles plus the sync or individual settings for the A/C. The XLE is worth the extra money, plus we got a good deal on our trade with cash back and discounted add-on, nows the time to trade-in your used car or truck for top dollar over book value.

[@kaitlynhorwood2779]

Great review, I’m surprised you didn’t go into any detail about the other options available on the XLE like the heated steering, weather mats ect. (Or if you did I somehow missed it). Just bought a used 2020 in phenomenal condition, and it has those as well as everything else you showed here. I’m not sure if that’s a different add on package or what, but it works for me! I love it! The most modern car I’ve ever owned. I’ve owned 2 cars previously, both Toyotas, a 2001 echo and a 2009 Yaris both of Wich obviously had no real bells and whistles like they do now on these cars.

[@leyland9999]

Amazing video! The enthusiasm clearly is not only because you sell Toyota’s. You know a lot about the differences and specs, I must say quite unlike some representatives over here in The Netherlands. I also learned much about the differences specs wise between European and USA versions, let alone the differences that exist between the various versions regarding the country of destination in Europe. I own a 2020 AWD ECVT Swedish specs version of the RAV4 that is, you guessed it, not available in The Netherlands. It resembles the XLE with some extra’s but lacking the power rear door and sun roof. It has the digital dash though. One thing is for sure though, your presentation would surely boost sales of the car over here if it existed! Bye! Bill, The Hague, The Netherlands.

[@robertdamin8723]

I like the XLE for myself that is the one I have ordered lately for 2022. I have switch to Toyota I was a owner of Honda since 1994. I have did the switch because I did like the turbo engine 1.5 LT. I am not found of those type of engines periode.

Great review! Thank you. My 2020 XLE - came with CP convenience package. Apparently this includes heated seats but I don’t have heated seats. Two other things the XLE convenience package doesn’t have that I cannot believe. An alarm is NOT standard and the yellow dynamic guidelines on the rear view camera are not there until you get the audio premium package. Too many packages and variables Toyota.

[@keepingup2952]

The LE class still has a key, which is important if your electronic system glitches and you get unintended acceleration, you can turn off the ignition and steer down to a halt. With the dumb push button start, it isn't clear if you could do that. Get the LE.

[@SmartestDumbGuy]

I own a nationwide dealership that deals in cars with problems, damaged cars, etc. After 1 million cars and every story on the planet... never heard of a car accelerating situation like that.

[@keepingup2952]

@@SmartestDumbGuy Toyota conducted seven recalls related to unintended acceleration from September 2009 to March 2010. Toyota has agreed to pay a staggering $1.2 billion to avoid prosecution for covering up severe safety problems with “unintended acceleration,” according to court documents, and continuing to make cars with parts the FBI said Toyota “knew were deadly.”

[@SmartestDumbGuy]

@@keepingup2952 that had to do with floor mats and trim pieces keeping the pedal down... which I have experienced. It didn't have anything to do with electrical glitching.

[@chamisataza6639]

On the xle is there a push button on/off or switch for the stop and start engine because I don't like that feature. So I will choose the le and one thing can I put the alloy wheels on the le that they have in xle or premium models..

[@geraldevans2535]

XLE has button to turn off the stop/start. You will need to turn it off each time you start the car. Not that big of a deal really. When stop /start is turned on, the engine only stops if you push hard enough on the brake pedal.

This dude could sell ice to an Eskimo if you ask me.....

[@johnbentley364]

The only real noticeable difference is the fog lights. So if you're wanting to save a few bucks and you're not worried about the extra stuff that the XLE has, then you're perfectly fine with the LE, cause you could always change rims and you can just stick USB ports in the 12 volt sockets. Both vehicles still come with cruise control radar, lane assist, automatic high beams, sport mode, Pre-Collision Sense, Road sign assist, brake hold, etc. So you're still getting a really good car either way.

I bought an XLE 3 months ago and it's the way to go. The major difference is that you have the Blind spot monitoring which is amazing, the Keyless pushstart button and sunroof which the LE does not offer. LE is standard and boring. If you wish to sell or trade in a few years, you have a better chance getting a good deal for your XLE than the LE.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you like the LE? My uncle is shopping between a Rav4 and a Honda CR-V LX

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@KevX1127 The RAV4 started out as an affordable utility vehicle. Today's LE sticks to that formula while including standard features unimaginable in earlier generations. Adding thousands of dollars in options to any RAV4 really makes no sense to me. In the past, I would have considered the CR-V as a near equivalent to a RAV4 but Honda is not as reliable as it once was. I threw in a quick comment on this video but I would be buying the LE Hybrid not the regular model. The Hybrid will save you a fortune in gas over its lifetime, require less routine maintenance and it comes with standard AWD for a very small price premium over the non-Hybrid. Of course Honda now makes a Hybrid CR-V but once again, Toyota is the proven master of reliable Hybrid production while other brands are desperately playing catch up.

[@KevX1127]

@@rightlanehog3151 I really appreciate all the information you provide here. We're gonna go with the Rav4, I tried talking to my uncle about going for the hybrid model but that's really outside their spending range. It helps from the tech side, the Rav4 base model exceeds the base model for the Honda CR-V LX. Nowadays dealers have lower inventory due to corona so seems like getting a hold of a unpopular LX is difficult anyways. Thank you again for your input on this!
