Comparing ALL 2024 RAV4 Hybrid Trims! How to Pick the Best One for You

[@Toyotajeff]

Where are you watching this from in the world? Also, what trim level is the best for you? How about the best value based on pricing? Jeff

[@stevematthews4489]

Really great overview of the RAV4 models. I like the car, but those "dealer options" look like $3-4k of dealer added BS on top of the car price ($73 for 4 USB cables? $450 for floor mats? paint protection, etc...). That crap is why people hate car dealers.

[@DYIguy]

That is why you need to look around do not just go to your local dealership. I drove 45 minutes away to get a deal on mine. Even though I purchased Toyota's from local dealership in the past they refused MRSP so I walked out. I can still get free Toyota Care just don't have to buy from the locals if they will not negotiate! I don't care if I have to go out of state if I am going to save a few grand off the price I would have. Also don't take any extra warranty add-ons and do your own financing you can always get anywhere if you really need to have it.

[@miller1]

They aren't dealer options. They are the Independent Distributor Port Install Options otherwise known as the Gulf States Cartel where I am located...

Just bought myself a White "Ice Cap" RAV4 XLE Hybrid for my Birthday last week. Getting around 41.8 mpg.. TOTAL Price OUT THE DOOR, Tax, Tags etc AND WITH the Weather Package AND The Extended 10 year 100,000 mile Warranty on the Hybrid was $35,029. Still have my 2014 RAV4 XLE with 281,000 miles on it and will be using that to commute back and forth to work till the wheels fall off! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE The RAV4 XLE Hybrid!!!

[@mjassbong]

What State and dealer?

[@ns2754]

Wow that’s awesome so happy for u. Inventory is limited in my area even though I’m willing to be cash, an XSE is marked up to 45k might have to settle for an XLE at 38k

[@BarbaraChambers-q9l]

My 4-month old hybrid xle is getting 46.5 mpg! I do drive in eco mode, don’t exceed the speed limit by more than 10 mph, and have a 46 mile round trip commute to work on mostly 50 mph roads. Yes, I’m a grandma, but I only get gas once a week & only have to buy half a tank! I’m loving everything about my RAV4.

[@desr924]

Which state? That is a great price! how much Toyota”s 10 year, 100000 warranty goes for?

[@greysonphoenix3442]

I've watched a handful of your videos. You are so thorough which is an amazing quality and you have tons of energy so it holds attention! For future videos you should talk to your editor about adding timestamps with tags so people can slide to the parts of the videos that talk about their specific interests. For example I was only interested in the LE and thr XLE. Anways awsome video thanks!

[@crayonri]

Thank you! I put a deposit on a Hybrid XLE Premium! Was to decide between Limited and Premium… do not need the Ventilated seats, so went with the Hybrid XLE Premium! This will be #4 of the Ravs I’ve had! First hybrid though! Trading my 2018 Limited! New car Wind Chill Pearl XLE Premium is expected in May. Thank you for the reviews! I feel good on getting the XLE after watching your reviews. 😊. Greetings from RI!

[@Soupcan35]

How do you like it, so far? Looking at that same model.

[@barbehrhart]

I’m getting my XSE in two days so excited! Thanks for the very complete video!

[@TwinTurboToyota]

Xse has my vote

[@DYIguy]

I actually got a Black Metallic Woodland edition. Ordered in Feb got it by April 1 only add-ons I had to pay for was the wheel locks and side door protectors. Got at MSRP for $33,250 before Toyota increased the price. Total out the door price with Tax $38,084.00. I love this version because I did not want leather, but wanted Fog Lights and only the high level trims have Fog Lights and force you to get leather which over time cracks and is cold in the winter months and hot in the summer. Plus I really liked the Rims and the fact that is is a Hybrid without the extra cost of the higher trims that just add crap without any function no increase in Horse power unless the over 50k Prime model.

[@Gopinathk17]

Xle premim might be the perfect trim for the price with all the required features.

[@Toyotajeff]

I think that one checks a lot of the boxes for a lot of folks

[@carpingnyland8518]

That's what I bought. If you want the Softex seats (I did, but not everyone does), it's a good value for what it comes with. Strange that it's the only trim that doesn't get its own badging on the rear (just says "XLE" just like the ... well ... XLE trim.) Mine are blacked out on a Midnight Black one anyway, but still weird that they did that.

[@jesos3182]

XLE premiums are all different depending on what the dealers get or if you custom order add ons. Black lettering is techincally an add on, other stuff considered add onsare the roof rack/bars, rims, cameras, custom badges, etc. I was lucky to find a chestnut interior since all XLE premiums I have seen in socal have been black. Just depends on what you want. Also some have basic rims but that only saves you a few bucks tbh they're not that expensive.

[@Gopinathk17]

​​​@@jesos3182I think XLE with add-ons/packages (like weather package, convenience package etc) is different from XLE premium..premium would include all those features and also some extra features by default like softex seats, panorama roof, fog lights, power lift gate, 18inch wheels, memory seats, leather wrapped steering and many other features. Premium is worth the price.

[@sabinamuniz6268]

My family and I got into an accident yesterday and it has had me down. However, prior to the accident I knew I had my heart set on a Rav4 Hybrid. I was still pretty upset from the situation and not knowing what our future would look like but watching this video brought a big laugh out of me which I havent done since the accident. Thank you so much for the laughs and information. I feel more confident about the type of trim I want and you def. need a raise. Watching from NC!

From Hungary... moving to the US. Great intro to each trim, and really helped me narrow my purchase to 2 choices!

Colorado here, excellent commentary, you rock! Love how you move to stand by rear tires when talking about back tire differences, you really keep my attention! XSE looks great. Love how the trunk platform turns over for a wipeable surface that is 2" lower, yes very important!!Love all your other features since I have a Prius Prime 2017 and love your new additional features. Would want a sunroof not moonroof, that comes all the way off and stows away.

For me, if the limited had the gloss black trim finish with the chrome. It would have definitely top the class and held it's name "Limited". The SE ext looks more luxurious than that of the limited version.

I purchased the xse in magnet grey and it's loaded. I have 12.3 all digital display, 10.5" JBL upgraded stereo, power lift gate with the kick open and close tech......front and rear parking assist and I absolutely love this car so far. The best part is I'm averaging 43.2mpg. 😃

[@liquidmojo]

I was lucky to catch incoming stock 2024 XSE Prime in silver with gloss black accents. It’s almost identical to the one featured in this video except there is a plug in port on the driver’s side so it can be driven in EV mode when fully charged for around 40 miles, which is a bit more than the MPG for a gallon of gasoline. It also it came from the factory with the following options (or standard?): a powered lift gate (but no bottom kick sensor), black leatherette Soft Tex heated steering wheel and interior and, the 10.5 screen JBL system, wireless charging tray and “weather package” with the heated seats and wheel, weatherized floor and cargo mats. The accent lights it came with looks cool but I would have preferred the more functional fog lamps. I’m guessing the price point is the main reason dealers don’t keep an extensive inventory of the Prime model, but the option to top off the charge and run it in EV mode was too compelling for me.
