2023 RAV4, XSE, and I'm still amazed!

I bought my XSE Hybrid earlier this year, around April. I got a great deal on it, considering the options this SUV came with, especially the JBL stereo with that huge screen. I get ridiculous fuel mileage, beyond 50 city driving, highway around 45! The comfort is quite good, referring to the seats and leg/headroom. In some of the reviews I've read, people have complained about the interior road noise. I have noticed no excessive noise whatsoever, unless it's because they purchased the base models? Maybe the tires making it loud? I don't know, mine came with Michelins. My XSE hybrid is very quiet, without even a rattle. Performance accelerating is impressive, instantaneous. The hybrid versions of the RAV4 is quite a bit faster than the "gas-only" versions. I know, I've owned both. I'm not saying the "gas-only" version is a slouch, it's certainly not. The handling of the XSE RAV4 is decent for a SUV, with very little lean around faster turns. I have always liked the RAV4, but the hybrid system adds the cherry on top!

We were lucky to find our 2023 RAV4 Xse hybrid on the lot. Someone had abandoned their order. It is a sharp RAV4 with black glossy accents over the wheels and both ends. The acceleration is impressive, as is the mileage…we are currently averaging 42 MPG. Ww love the Apple CarPlay feature on our 10.5 inch screen. The mapping is impressive, realistic. Lots of electronic features, a comfortable ride, beautiful blue stitching throughout and plenty of cargo room. Love it.

Had a 22 LE Hybrid, great car, silky smooth drivetrain....just no options. Got a 2023 XSE Hybrid and while it has all the options, the drivetrain is rough. Any transition from electric to ICE causes a jerking in the car. Like driving an old car with a U-joint out. Dealer will do nothing (says this is normal). My 3rd hybrid and I know this is not normal. Won't keep this car long unless I can find a dealer that will figure out what is wrong. Dealer still says nothing wrong….but they don’t even try to figure it out.
