Hey Jeff , your information is always helpful i am just confused between XLe hybrid and Xse hybrid. This is going to be my first suv car to drive . Please guide me
I went with the Limited Hybrid (Blizzard Pearl & Light Gray interior) with the limited grade advance package.
Got mine February 1 this year , exactly like this one . I'm averaging 41 mpg
I just signed for this exact vehicle last night. I cant wait to get it!!!!!!!! I'm in Canada and it doesn't have the panoramic moonroof though :(
This is such a great vehicle and I have this in the 2020 in the silver sky metallic color and I love it. I think that color combo is such a great look with the black roof and rims. I do really like this blue print color also. I am guessing there is no really differences or changes between the 2020 and the 2021 is there. I would really like to see them come out with a couple more color choices like maybe ruby flare, blue flame maybe do an army green or some new color they don't have yet. Do you think they will make this is any other color choices.
Hello Jeff! I got my 2021 Rav 4 hybrid xle premium all thanks to you, this past weekend. On 19:02 what does that "Door" button do? Thanks!
I love the look of this trim! The only thing I'm not a fan of is the softex seats with cloth inserts. Is it possible to get full softex seats on this trim?

Hi Jeff. Between the 2021 Camry XSE Hybrid and RAV 4 Hybrid, which would you recommend? Are there any significant distinctions, aside from genre, that would persuade someone to the SUV over Mid-size sedan?
Jeff your so good bro
hi jeff i need this exact one.
RAV Really Awesome Vehicles
Can you explain the gear shift ? For example the dials on it and what they do
Jeff, I have the 2021 XLE hybrid, is there anyway to get the Matte black XSE rims for my XLE hybrid through Toyota in 18inch?!
Whats the difference between this one and the xse prime hybrid? I was looking at their website but they dont have the xse prim hybrid but i just watch a video of you with the xse prime
It’s a great vehicle. You can definitely feel the stiffness of the suspension.
does this model xse have ventilated seats or the limited has them?
Do they have it with remote start? If not is there an app to be able to start it remotely?
ToyotaJeff is the BEST!!!!
Any word on the 2022 Rav4 hybrid? Any changes ? Thanks
Is there any sit memory. We just bought our yesterday.
I’m going to road test soon I have a 2018 tacoma sport I can trade in like new with 14k miles payed off

Hi Jeff, I am in Australia and really enjoy your reviews. I have a Rav 4 Cruiser FWD (top of our Hybrid range) on order and have question you might be able to answer. If you drove on a flat terrain in a straight line , what percentage of power would come from electric vs gasoline motor ?
@Toyotajeff

Hi in Australia!!! I don't really know the answer to your question exactly. It's sort of a sliding scale really...the more you accelerate the more you use a portion of gasoline vs electric. Wish I had a more specific answer
Does the XSE come with memory seats?
Do you have any available in exactly like video?
Thank you Jeff for another excellent review of the RAV4 Hybrid XSE. The only feature the model needs is Heads Up Display.

Will Canada has RAV4 with panoramic sunroof later?
Why would the fog lamps not be LED? I have the Corolla Hatchback XSE and the fog lamps are LED.
I have the 2020 version any difference a year later?
What it so bad with the lunar rock and black wheels🥺
Great video. Is it possible 2022 RAV4 bring TSS 2.5 ?
I still want to know how he got the grey seats instead of black
I love this and will probably eventually get one, but I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in the leather/vinyl combo. I rather just have all of the tough kind of leather, my vehicle now has it and it has worn well. At this price for a smaller suv, I would’ve wanted full leather in the design.

Hi how are your , how much the price
I have a 2007 Camry Hybrid 215K miles, it's a far, I mean far, cry from this beautiful car. But, if you ever drive a Hybrid, you never want to go back to gasoline only
I have the same spec but it totals to $ 40,000 ! how ?
I’m in Raleigh looking to buy a RAV4 Hybrid. I’ll be calling you tomorrow to talk.
Mpg and reliability
I LOVE the RAV4! I was looking at a gas model (I am not a hybrid or EV person) vs my Camry. I wish they had the XSE in gas only models but that’s okay. I love the TRD Off Road and Adventure. I ended up with the Camry but that SUV is GREAT!!

What were your reasons for choosing the Camry over the Hybrid? I ask because this is the same dilemma I am currently in...lol
@TodayWithDustin
3 жыл бұрын
@@TheFirst1278 I chose the Camry because no matter the trim you get it rides better than it’s competitor (Honda Accord which is what I traded for my Camry). It sits up higher so I didn’t feel like I was on the ground compared to some other Mid-Size sedans. I personally don’t have children and don’t haul people but I needed 4 doors for my stuff since I travel a lot. Which leads me to MPG which is slightly better than the RAV4 as it’s a Sedan over a SUV. I do go off roading with buddies sometimes so that’s why I wanted a AWD SUV but I just ride with them instead of taking my own vehicle.

I own a 2015 xle with a sun roof. I sat in a 2021 rav 4 xle no sun roof. The 2021 rav ceiling was lower then my 2015 rav. Do the rav 4 models with the sun roof have more head room?

Doubt very much they'll be any changes for 2022..... 2023 might be a major refresh year or 2024 but 2022 is unlikely. My money is on 2024 and as for the release date, it's usually in late Oct or early Nov.

Too bad they got rid off the blueprint color in the 2022, that was one of the best colors! Im not feeling the calvary blue at all!

Why do so many cars have these fake exhaust tips. It looks horrible to see a tip over a pipe. I'm sure it's a cost thing but damn it looks bad
