I would defiantly recommend the Rav4 to anyone looking for an up to date SUV that will last you for ever! I would go for the XLE Premium if you're into all the bells and whistles. I got mines build to fit my needs at Toyota of Brookfield with Bonnie. It came right on time and was perfect for me and my family!

2021 RAV4 Hybrid Needs Some Work

Our test drive of the 2021 RAV4 Hybrid was interesting. The ride was OK, took road bumps smoothly, but the bucket type seats were not all that comfortable in either the front or the rear. The seats tended to be hard; the back bench seat felt like sitting on a board. The curved sides of the bucket seats caused rubbing along the side of the back and shoulder blade areas, making the ride uncomfortable over time and distance. The accelerating and braking were good. Road noise and engine noise were very pronounced (a big turn off). At night the interior was darkish; the entire left side of the driver area was not lit at all, nor was there any lighting of the switches in the rear seat area. The cargo light is very small and only provides a dim light in the back. The RAV4 Hybrid is rated at pulling 1,750 lbs but not sure how that would affect mileage rating. Speaking of which our test drive got 29-32 mpg, which we think was rather low for a hybrid. The test drive left us a bit disappointed overall.

Sorry Rav4

I leased for the first time a hybrid Rav4 and have it for 25 months on a three-year lease. On two occasions battery went dead and that BS on driving is wrong I am actually over the mileage allowed. Check complaints and it verifies the problems. Told me software needed adjustment. The car gets good gas mileage but scare every trip I make. Never again

Man this is a solid little Suv all around. Very practical. I’m averaging a 45-46 in Florida. It’s awd capability is also able to handle some lite off roading( trails and mud) Only real compliant is when the EV switchs to engine mode it be a little loud. After a while you get used to it... Asked the dealer why I couldn’t fill up to the advertised 14.5g and was told 2 of those gallons are for the reserve?
