Vehicle arrived at dealer April 2019. I purchased very next day after arrival. I give the 2019 RAV4 hybrid XLE 4 out of 5 stars overall. Pros: Fuel economy, appearance, interior, handling, safety features. Cons:Front passenger seat comfort, lacks backing rear alert safety buzzer, and touch screen lacks visual quality during daytime.

Recently purchased an XLE Hybrid with additional packages in white. For me, it has what I was looking for. I traded a newer luxury vehicle that was loaded but wanted to go back to something more solid with less maintenance. Have owned Toyota’s in the past without issues. Wasn’t aware of the Hybrid until recently and researched before test driving it and the gas model. Fell in love with the Hybrid’s smooth ride, quiet cabin, seat & ride comfort, drivability, size, and incredible field of vision. Great pick up & go for this type of vehicle without a turbo. Feel the interior for the trim level I purchased is very good....a lot of soft touch as compared to past generations. It is not a luxury sports car...it is what it is supposed to be....a Hybrid RAV 4 AWD that is a Toyota to take me through life events based on my needs and what I like. It will be comfortable on a long or short commute, transporting your family or pets to the store, work or vacation, yielding great gas mileage and safety, having fun, and hopefully bringing a smile to the owner in knowing they love their RAV! I am proud of my purchase and feel I made the best choice for me and my style!!! Love my Hybrid!!!

We looked at the Honda Accord Hybrid but the reviews seemed iffy about the MPG consistently. This is our first Hybrid and we are very pleased, it’s getting around 43 mpg to 53 mpg, much more fun to drive then the non-hybrid.
Love my new RAV4 Hybrid!

I bought the LE because I have no interest in the sun/moon roof. I did want a tow hitch for my little utility trailer and heated, leather front seats so I added those as options installed by the dealer. I do miss having a "smart" key that automatically locks and unlocks the front doors (instead I have to push the key fob button). I also miss having a push button tail gate. That's my fault for not spending more time researching. Regardless of this little irritations, I got a great deal for a beautiful hybrid SUV! I'm getting over 43 MPG using the ECO mode driving a combination of highway and city. That is precisely why I bought this SUV. It's perfect for my needs and I really am thrilled.

We have had many Toyota products over the years. We are empty nesters and bought a 2019 RAV4 Hybrid XLE to travel in. We had the Entune 3, Convenience package and Weather package options. $33,878 MSRP. Having had three previous RAV4's, I was complacent when making this purchase and didn't do enough research. The 2019 was redesigned and the center console is taller and wider than previous model years. Also, the tops of the door panels where one rests their arm/elbow is a hard plastic which isn't comfortable. I didn't pick up on these little things during my test drive. After owning our RAV4 for 6 months and 10,000 miles, we traded it in for a 2020 Subaru Forester. First the pros: While subjective, I love the new look of the redesign. It looks more rugged look than before. The gas mileage in the summer was outstanding averaging 44 mpg around town, and good on the highway. At 72 mph I averaged 38-39 mpg. Once the cold weather arrived (40 degrees or less) my mileage was reduced noticeably to 38-39 mpg around town and 34 mpg on the highway. The vehicle heats up quickly in the cold weather, and the heated steering wheel is nice. I found the seats to be comfortable, and voice commands using the button on the steering wheel worked well with my iPhone. Loved having a tuning knob on the radio which our Honda CRV lacks. Our RAV4 had a rattle in the center console that the dealer was unable to fixed/eliminate, but otherwise we didn't experience any troubles. Little known fact, the dealer service department programmed my key fobs to allow us to lower the windows of all four passenger doors with a push and hold of a button on the key fob. This service was done for free! Might be of interest if you live in a warmer climate. The Cons: One pet-peeve of mine is that Toyota speedometers don't seem to be accurate. Using our dashboard Garmin GPS as well as the Waze app on our cell phone, the speedometer on our RAV4 Hybrid was off by 2 mph around town, and off by 3 mph at 72 mph. In order to have the vehicle travel down the road at 72 mpg, I had to set the cruise at, or have the speedometer read 75 mph. Dealer was unable to adjust or re-calibrate the speedometer allowing it to be more accurate. Also, the average mpg that the vehicle calculated was always higher than the mpg we actually achieved, doing the math (dividing the miles we traveled by the gallons of fuel we put in the tank). On that note, when filling the vehicle with fuel using the fuel pumps that lock the handle in place, I was unable to fill the tank beyond 3/4 full! I had to continue putting fuel in the vehicle at a much slower rate that the gas would normally come out of the pump to completely fill the gas tank. Just inconvenient to do and takes extra time at the pumps. I used to just stop filling the tank when the pump shut off, but leaving the gas station with 3/4 of a tank of gas and having the reduced range was equally inconvenient. The dealer breaker for us was after several longer drives, I found myself feeling cramped and confined. On longer drives, I'd spread my knees apart a little and I find one knee rubbing against the drivers door panel and the other rubbing against the center console, both of these surfaces are made of hard plastic. In addition, the top of the center console flares out so my leg/knee was against a dull pointed surface. It was just uncomfortable for me in my driving position, being 5'11" tall and 56 years old. Also, I found the HVAC buttons to be too small, or at least smaller than I would like them to be. Lastly, the interior of this vehicle at night is dark. None of the switches are illuminated (buttons for the map lights, windows, door lock/unlock, noon roof or power mirror adjustments). There is a small line that lights up on the drivers door window switch and then you have to feel around for the others. I had to open the drivers door to get the interior lights to come on in order to see the door unlock button to unlock the doors. Try turning on a map light. You don't just press the light it self. There is a small button to the side of the map light on the overhead console that you have to feel around for and press to turn the map light on. Not a deal breaker, but disappointing. We traded our RAV in for a 2020 Subaru Forester Limited. The Forester was redesigned in 2019 and is now a little larger than it was, and I find it to be more comfortable than out RAV. The power seat has more travel (forward/back as well as up/down), and the interior feels larger to me with more leg and headroom than the RAV. My knees don't hit the door or center console, the HVAC controls have large buttons & knobs, the windows, door locks, power mirror switches are illuminated, padded door and center console surfaces, larger moon roof, and puddle lights on the bottom of the door when they are opened to see what your are stepping in. Nice touch! It also has a CD player. So far, averaging 30 mpg combined and 32.1 mpg on the highway.
