With very few options in the XLE with the exception of the Entune Premium. It is frustrating that Toyota left out simple options like Auto Headlights and Home Link auto dimming Mirror. The Entune system is so locked down it should be listed as a boat anchor not an "Infotainment" system. Our RAV voice recognition does not work at all and adds to the extreme frustration with the system since changing or adding a destination or making a call with out voice requires a a stop on the side of the road, bad thinking on the part of Toyota. XM radio is does not function well and Traffic updates are non-existent. Presently Toyota is looking into the Entune insisted THE UNIT WORKS AS DESIGNED, a poor excuse for bad engineering. Gas milage is great, acceleration is adequate and handling is great. The lack of usable technology is the biggest downside. Had I known how frustrating the Entune system is to operate and the fact Entune does not do anything without Cellular Phone Data plus the lack of commonsense amenities , I would have purchased a non-hybrid Honda CR-v Very similar gas mileage and Horsepower. This is our 5th Toyota and likely our last. Still our last... Entune continues to be a boat anchor, Navigation gets lost far more than finding destinations and unusable by passenger or driver when vehicle is in motion, Voice recognition does not work. Buyer beware... Not worth the price!!!

For the first 27 months we averaged 38 mpg while living just outside of Tucson, AZ. Traveling cross country with the SUV fully loaded, we still averaged 32 mpg. This same mpg has continued in SC where we now live. We have not yet spent a penny on maintenance outside of oil changes every 5,000 miles. The SUV is very reliable, comfortable, solid, and also very easy getting in and out of the vehicle. I would hesitate to buy this vehicle again. Update: Just turned 30,00 on the odometer after 36 months of driving and still averaging 37 mpg here in Bluffton, SC. All the safety features are truly worth the additional expense especially all the backing (reverse) features which has helped avoid numerous backing mishaps.

This is my third Rav4 but first hybrid car. Gas mileage is great. Averaging about 33/34 mpg. The car drives so quiet and smooth. Handles well. Love the interior too. The only negative I have is the vibration I sometimes feel from the gas engine switching on. It happens when I accelerate slowly then hit 20-25 mph. I then feel it again when accelerating quickly. It's quite jarring to me and I still haven't gotten used to it having the car a month now. Then there are times I don't even notice the gas engine going on? Another reviewer commented on how seamless the electric & gas engines go on and off but I'm not having that same experience? Curious to hear if any other Rava4 Hybrid consumers are ... Otherwise I'm in love with this car!

We've owned a 2016 Hybrid for about 2 months. Fuel mileage is higher than stated, but you have to watch your driving acceleration to achieve that. This was a major point in my purchase decision.
