Actually love this car, with some minor complaints

MB, 02/19/2024
2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I have owned numerous Toyota trucks the last 35 years and was recently assigned a 2024 Rav4 XLE for work. I like so much about this car, let me just concentrate on the few knit-picky negatives that I have found : Off the bat, this car drives and handles amazing. The AWD is solid, the steering is tight with no play and just makes the car feel like it is solidly planted on the pavement. … A far cry from the FWD 2022 Hyundai Tucson I had been driving (bleh). The hybrid electric to gas engine is seamless, you can barely notice when the two engines stop and start. So much nicer than the newer cars that have the engine stop on you when stopped in traffic then roar back to life and briefly lag before you start driving again. I have driven this car in the dumping rain, unpacked snow and solid ice and it just does great. I will drive anywhere from 2 to 5 hours daily and the car is very comfortable on a long trip. It has great get up and go and acceleration, which is even better when dialed into "sport" mode. Great storage in the back and this model has all weather rubber material on the backs of the back seats. When the seats fold down to extend the cargo area, the back of the seats are protected from whatever wet or muddy item gets put in the cargo area. The rear seats DO NOT fold flat thought (which is a negative) so you will not be able to lay a large object flat when the seats are down and will face a little uphill bump when trying to fully load this area with cargo. One oddity- the cargo net that comes with the car cannot be used like a gate to keep items from falling out of the cargo area when you open the hatchback. It is actually a "spiderweb" hold down net that anchors to four tie downs. Great if you don't want soccer balls rolling around on the floor, or a case of soda sliding around, but that's it. The actual picture on the cargo net package shows it installed as a "gate" across the width of the opening of the hatch--- don't be fooled! The electronics are good (not great), it will support 2 bluetooth devices at the same time (I run two different phones an iphone and an android), but it is a little extended going from Carplay back to the Toyota menu to get to say the satellite radio settings. There is also no way to split the screen to have your map on and an app at the same time where maybe you are listening to a podcast and want to be able to pause, play or fwd what you are listening to or take a phone call and keep the map displayed at the same time. As much as I hated the Tucson, it had the ability to have two things on the screen at once. Another minor complaint I have is the light and dark gray seat color combo in cloth. It took only a few days for the light gray fabric (which is on the edges of the seats, including the sections right next to the cup holders) to get stained up. I recommend getting dark, one color seats if possible. Biggest complaint about the Rav4? The interior buttons and layout. The interior itself is great, leather feel surfaces, no shiny piano black plastics. It has a nice higher end and refined look and feel. The first thing I noticed is how far forward the interior door grab handles are. Going to pull the door in to shut it does not give you the proper leverage (due to the handle being so close to the hinge point of the door). Very awkward feeling and it takes some muscle to get it going and still feels off. I have had the car for 3 months and I still can't get used to the feeling. The doors themselves are actually very light feeling when you open it from the outside, obvious effort to reduce weight for fuel economy. I have not looked at the side crash data yet, but I doubt the doors offer much protection. Many controls are located to the left of the steering wheel, below the dash line and below the line of sight of the wheel. These include the light cluster adjustment, the auto dim high beam button, the heated wiper nozzle, heated steering wheel and trunk release. You really have to shift your body left and look down awkwardly to find these buttons to use them. While the speedometer is digital with a digital "needle" on fixed digital numbers, there is no option for a real time digital number speedometer readout. There is a very small digital km/hr display in the far left corner, but it is too small to be of any value and can't be converted to MPH. I would much rather have a large real-time digital speed display. Weird this isn't a programmable option. The digital display (speedometer area) is also not very functional, with the majority of the information surrounding battery and fuel consumption screens. The steering wheel buttons are also pretty small with the radio volume ones not very thumb friendly. While the temperature control knobs are nice and big round dials, the defrost, fan speed, re-circulation and vent controls are extremely small, thin, rectangular buttons all laid out in a long row very close to each other that need the tips of your fingers to activate. While it all looks very clean and minimalist, they are a pain to locate and activate while driving and keeping your eyes on the road. My last gripe would be the location of the side-by side cup holders in relation to the shifter. Any beverage in the cup holder makes you have to reach over the top of the beverage to get to the shifter which feels like it is far forward and deep under the dash. My complaints aside, I have actually recommended this model to several friends based on the comfort, handling and performance. After 5k miles, I consistently get 36 mpg with majority highway driving. If this wasn't a work vehicle, I would seriously consider getting one for myself if in the market for a small SUV.
