Sporty Red Rav

We traded a 2016 RAV4 hybrid when used car prices went through the roof. 16 hybrid was a great vehicle. The new RAV4 is the XLE Premium. It is amazing how much more refined the 2022 model has become. Handling seems much more responsive and the acceleration is so much smoother. Toyota has made a dramatic improvement in the CTV transmission. Gas mileage is as advertised. The XLE Premium has the upgraded seats. We were also impressed by the upgraded driver safety features. A versatile and fun car to drive. 40 plus miles to a gallon is a great benefit. Job well done Toyota.

I ordered in XLE trim at full MSRP because waiting period on Limited trim was too long (as of 01/2022). Now, I believe Limited is well worth extra time to wait and money! Cons: The worst part about LE and XLE trim is SEATS! Although seats are made of Softex material, there is Nothing soft about them. They feel extremely harsh and uncomfortable. Passenger seat is manual adjusted. If you buy in LE trim the driver seat adjustment could be manual as well. Steering wheel size is a bit small and feels cheap. Wireless phone charing is not present in XLE trim. Engine is a bit noisy on high revs. The pros: Quick acceleration, impressive fuel economy (~40 mpg) , steady road feel at higher speeds, better design and ergonomics than previous generation, easy integration with android and Apple phones, high resale value.

Cheap Cover for Trunk

I have always loved Toyota and have bought them. Toyota is starting to get cheaper on items in the car. We just purchased a 2022 Rav4 Hybrid and kept our 2015 RAV4. The back cover for the tire in our 2015 was sting and worked great. I could put tile and other items in there. I took my 2022 and put tile in the back and it broke. They put a seam in the middle of the trunk space that the dealer said will hold no more than 200 lbs. The trunk space is seriously a piece of plastic junk. Not happy about them cutting corners to save money 😞

Very good hybrid with great mpg

I have had my XLE Premium for almost a year. After getting my fuel gauge working as expected in the early months (fuel tank emptied and refilled - gas gauge works properly), the car has been problem free. I replaced the original Michelin Primacy tires with quieter Pirelli's which improved the noise level and handling. I generally keep my speed at 65 or a bit less on the highway - 44mpg on recent trip back from down east Maine. Vehicles like this are less than aerodynamic and tend to drop mpg much over 65mph. I find noise levels very acceptable at 65mph - tire change helped here. Handling and ride are as expected - even with tire air pressures at 37 which also helps the mpg. Of course, my mileage dropped during the winter as it does with all cars, but still very good. The higher tire pressure I use is well below cold pressure tire rating max and seems to improve handling as well as helping mpg.. All of the safety equipment has worked well - nice to have RCTA along with heated front seats and steering wheel. Controls are easy to use. So if you want an economical to drive SUV that is easy to get in and out of, get one of these hybrids - quieter than the gas only version and just as reliable. Just keep in mind the beneficial result from a change in tire. Toyota continues to make the most reliable cars/suvs overall which is a really good thing. If you are an aggressive and a fast driver on the highway, your mpg and noise levels will vary from mine.

Wife loves it so far 800 miles.

My wife loves it so far minus the options we wanted that it doesn't have. I on the other hand have to take it in already to get Dash looked at it is warping. I`m 6`2 and the seat doesn't go back far enough for comfortable driving, and the speaker under the hood to make sounds is horrible (hybrid) UPDATE It has 18k miles on it so far and my wife's love for having to settle for a car without the options she wanted is sinking in. Have had to install a remote start upgrade the audio system and install a dash cam on an XLE PREMIUM. I on the other hand would think we would get better mileage than in her 2018 Malibu Hybrid
